STARVING RUMANIANS.
At Buzeu, Rumania, in the midst
of one of the world's richest oil
fields, people have been actually
starving, says a correspondent of
The Associated Press.
Before the war, that part of Ru
mania produced big fortunes in oil.
being one of the greatest sources of
European supply. Today its wells
are in ruins and the people are des
titute. The invading armies requisi
tioned everything that could be
pried loose and transported, paralyz
ing one of the wealthiest industries
in the Balkans.
Workers for the American Red
Cross, which is distributing relief
in the form of foods and medicines
throughout the country, have found
people eating bread made of leaves.'
twigs, and bark from trees. People
were bartering the coats off their j
backs for small portions of corn ;
and coarse bran. In one place the j
relief workers found a small local j
hospital in which the patients slept '■
on boards with no mattresses, and1
little covering. At one home they
found five" fatherless children, the
oldest only nine years of age, cook
ing a meal of tree bark and bran,
while the mother was out at work
in the fields.
“Typhus is prevalent and there
is an increasing amount of small
pox,” says one American woman’s
report. “There is no doctor nor
medicines in this village, and abso
lutely r.o way of taking care of the
sick. In another village which I
visited the entire population of 500
persons was ill with some obscure
form of contagious disease.”
LABOR PARTY.
Delegates from ten states repre
senting more than 2,000,000 organ-:
ized workers will meet at Cleveland
after Labor Day to organize the
American Labor Party, it has been
announced by proponents of the
movement. The convention may also
decide whether to nominate a na
tional ticket in 1920.
An effort will be made to insert
a plank in the platform calling for
the repeal of the federal prohibition
amendment, it is said. Other poli- i
cies to be included in the platform
may follow recommendations in res-:
olutions adopted by the American
Federation of Labor convention.
Delegates from Wisconsin, Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Connecticut, Mass
achusetts, Washington, Oregon, i
Montana, New York, and Ohio are
expected to attend the convention.
A LITTLE LATE.
The Boersen Zeitung, a prominent
German newspaper. asserts that
West Prussia was ceded to Poland
by the peace conference because of
“a mistaken and incorrect scientific
book published in 1917 by the Am
erican Geographical society, con- j
taining an article entitled ‘The!
Boundaries of Language and Na
tionality,’ by Leon Dominitan.” |
The German newspaper avers that ■
President Wilson was influenced by
the “innocently false information of
this article,” which, it says, declared;
that Dantzig was 10 per cent Polish
and that the present Polish corridor;
, and neighboring East Prussia was
purely Polish.
The Boersen Zeitung declares that,
on the contrary. Dantzig is less than
five per cent Polish. The newspaper
disputes the Polish character of the
corridor. It declares that it is cer
tain that the article referred to was
used in fixing the boundaries.
BRITISH TITLES.
The tender spot in British politi- •
cal life today is the dispensation of
| titles. These are awarded, of course,!
by the king, but on the nomina
tion of the prime minister, and the
criticism of reformers is that titles
have been given for a long tme and j
by various prime ministers for pure
ly party services and practically
bought by contributions to party
j funds.
The house of lords has a peculiar
j interest in this matter because the j
; old, noble families are jealous of
having: their caste lowered by the
! addition of the newly rich, and
1 purely rich to the orders of no
bility.
The question was threshed out
last year and there was a general j
understanding that thereafter when
honors were announced the reason !
for their bestowal would be pub
lished. This has been done in form
but, it is alleged, not in substance,
because several much-criticized hon
ors in the last list were described
as “for public services,” which might
mean almost anything.
The new National party, which
has a few members in the house of
commons, has taken up the ques
tion. The chairman. General Page
Crcift, has written to the newspa
pers proposing to prove before any
judicial committee that since 1910 ,
one member of parliament has re
jected an offer of a title in return
for a cash payment to party funds,
and that the father of a member
of the house of commons was of
fered a baronetcy for £25,000.
He charged also that a member of
parliament who was created a peer
after the beginning of the war sub- j
scribed shortly afterward a very
large sum of money to a newspaper
that supports the premier.
He mentions also instances in
which he says titles were granted to
i a politician of so notorious a char
'acter as to be regarded as unfit to
i be a candidate for parliament, to
another politician regarded as un-!
; scrupulous, and to a third mar,
“previously involved in a notorious j
social scandal.”
Genera! Page Croft offered to
prove all his charges.

NENANA PEOPLE
SHOULD EAT PIE DAILY
Pie is wholesome, combining both
fruit and grain. Those who have
trouble digesting pie should take
ONE SPOONFUL simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in I
Adler-i-ka. This flushes the ENTIRE :
bowel tract, removes foul matter
which poisoned your stomach for
months and relieves ANY CASE
sour stomach, gas or constipation
and prevents appendicitis. Leaves
stomach in condition to digest ANY
THING. A. D. Thompson, druggist.
