BOAST OF ROMAN ANCESTRY
Picturesque Scenes in Roumania De
scribed by Correspondent Chil
dren Are Genuinely Handsome,
But Cleanliness Is an
Unknown Virtue.
By OSWALD F. SCHUETTE.
(Special Correspondent of Dally News,
Chicago.)
With Gen. von Falkenhnyn's Army In
Roumania. If a stage director could
put this picture Into the smugglers'
scene In "Carmen" he would have u
fortune.
But nobody would believe It to be
real. It Is tho temporary Internment
camp for civilians into which the Ger
mans have converted a spacious Greek
church of Hucar, in the heart of tho
Itoumauian Carpathians. Most of the
city has boon burned. All men of mil
itary age are gone. But the houseless
inhabitants that remained nad to be
concentrated where they could be
watched, for this city Is an important
base for mountain operations.
And such a camp. Such colors and
types. Tho stained glass windows of
the church fade before the gaudy ap
parel of these Itnumaniun women.
Young and old alike wear the loudest
of red skirts. Above the waist there
Is n little more Individuality, but not
less color blue, white, green, yellow
and a few black. Some are richly em
broidered, others aro cheap print
cloths. But all are garish.
We found the original slit skirt here
as though the skirt were but an out
growth of "blanket" days. Yet these
are not an aboriginal type, like our In
dians. Clothes are no civilized after
thought for them. Their proudest
boast is that they are descendants of
the Hoinans.
Many of them reveal the Roman pro
file. Some of them are genuinely hand
some, especially the children! but they
Bcem to age quickly. Apparently there
Is no summer in their lives. They jump
from spring to full and winter In a day.
Only a few of the women between llf
teen and forty years revealed traces of
the beauty of their daughters. As for
children, there seemed to be plenty of
them.
Garb of Old Romany.
The men all wore the typical Rouma
nian garb tlght-flttlng trousers of cot
ton or woolen goods that had once been
white, hut probably laundered ordy in
frequently ; a white shirtlike affair that
hung outside the trousers, halfwuy to
the knees, like a kilt, and a little tight
jacket. Few of the men showed any
traces of Itoman ancestry. Cleanli
ness would have hurt none, although
It might have lessened the picturesque.
All about the big churchyard were
gathered families and "neighborhoods,"
cooking primitive meals by open llres.
One group was particularly worth ob
serving. It might have been the city
council of Itucar, for all 1 know. Around
a lire sat 112 weather-beaten patri
archs, grave almost to silence. As we
came up their deliberations stopped ab
ruptly. They arose, took off their dirty
sheepskin caps, bowed and stood silent
with an air almost of servility. It Is
a typical Houmanluu expression. For,
not even excepting Itusslu, Houmnnla
still seems to have the most serfllko
peasant folk.
All arose but one. lie was an old
man, though not tho oldest there. In
stead of wearing a dirty sheepskin cap,
ho had one of black. Ills features
were well cut, his eyes und nose re
vealed at least the possibilities of in
telligent ancestry. lie had the air of
a man of Importance. jn the stage he
might well have been tho chief of a
mountain tribe. Finally, lie, too, arose
nnd greeted us, though sullenly. Later
wo learned that lie was ono of the
wealthiest men of Kiicar, but could
neither rend nor write.
No Interpreter to Tell Story.
We could not umlei-Mtiuu" ilieir mil
gunge, and they nindo little elTort to
get Into n conversation with us. A
woman from u neighboring camptiro
came over to say something, lint we
had no Interpreter und her story was
lost. But as an eilinuliiglcal exhibit
the picture belonged in the Smithsonian
Institution ut Washington.
In the iliiirch the scene was Just as
V turi'Mu but tho air was too thick
ANCIENT ROMANY iS S
ilu Atiierleiui nuvj now .stationed at
TRICKEN BY WAR
for an extended Inspection. About
forty families were enenmped on the
tloor, with n strange collection of
household paraphernalia. Besides the
door, the only possible ventilation was
a broken window pane. What seemed
to cause particular complaint was the
broken pane, not the ventilation.
You could not help feeling sorry for
these poor mountain folk, driven from
their homes by a war of which and
about which they knew nothing, and In
which they had no Interest. To them
Bucharest was as far off as Berlin.
Not one but envied the prosperity of
the noumanlans on the Hungarian side
of tho Carpathians. Yet tho war had
wrecked their city and their homes,
and strange German soldiers were
marching through their streets In pur
suit of tho fathers and brothers who
had fled with the Roumanian army
Into the mountain fastnesses beyond.
So far we had passed column after
column of heavy baggage trains car
rying provisions and ammunition to
the front. Now our automobile slowed
up, as wo picked our way through a
marching regiment. They were n dusty
lot of men, loaded down with henvy
knapsacks and their winter equipment.
For the nights aro bitterly cold in
those passes. Yet they sang as we
passed them and seemed as cheery as
though they were going on a mountain
lark. That Is, most of them did. For
some of them it was a hard struggle
with no pleasure ahead.
The head of this column had Just
reached the crest and left the road.
For down the other side there was no
need of following the long windings
over which our automobile had to go
with brakes set. The soldiers scam
pered freely down the bluffs, reaching
the bottom almost as quickly as we
did. But again we hud to climb a long
and tedious hill on the other side be
fore we came to the valley In which
tho war operations were now on.
The Darker Side of Marching.
A week later we made he same trip,
AT OF
Disabling of Geier at Honolulu
Brings Back Incident of
Spanish-American War.
TRIED TO RUN CUBA BLOCKADE
Interned Prussian Gunboat Makes
Dash From Havana Harbor, but Is
Rounded Up by Coast Guard
Cutter Manning.
New York. The Interned Prussian
gunboat Geier, which was reported In
recent dispatches to have been dis
abled at her pier in Honolulu, at the
outbreak of war In lflM was cruising
In the Puclllc and while en route to the
California coast was pursued by three
Japanese armored cruisers. In order
to escape, the German ship made her
wuy Into Honolulu, hut Hading that
the Japanese maintained a blockade off
the Hawaiian port the Geier Interned.
As a precautionary mensure, It is said,
the breech blocks of the Geler'K guns
were removed and sent ashore, as vero
also tho malu crankshafts and c.vlln
der heads.
iJiirlng the Spanish-American war
the Geier sprang Into prominence by an
attempt to demonstrate the Ineffective
ness of the American blockade upon
Havana. The Geier had obtained per
mission to pass through the American
blockade at un early period of the war,
at a time when u strong American
naval force was present before the Cu
ban port, and she remained iu Havana
until only u few lightly armed cutters
and converted lighthouse tenders were
on guard, the heavy ships having been
withdrawn under Admiral Sampson to
the eastward.
Made Dash From Port.
Picking her time, the Geier ono ntt
eruonn In May, 1893, tuado a dash out
of port, hugged the coast In n run" to
tho westward, and would have made
good her getaway without being spoken
to had It not been for tho unexpected
arrival a few hours earlier before Ha
vana of tlie newly built and fast const
guard cutter Manning.

this time following General von Fnlken
hnyn himself on an Inspection trip of
this front. And now It rained. The
gorgeous beauty of these wild moun
tain crags, the purple mists that veiled
tin garish colors of the peaks, the fas
cination and the splendor of what
Americans call Indian summer wore
gone. Everything had assumed, as If
by magic, drab colors. The misty rain
heat against us before an Icy wind.
The steep roads became perilous with
slippery mud. There was no song from
the soldiers that we passed. Dripping,
soaked, they plodded wearily and
slowly. The horses of the baggage
trains seemed to feel the snmo way
about It. The automobile trucks floun
dered In the mud nnd many had nar
row escapes. It Is no light task to
nnvlgato one of these giant cars on a
crooked, slippery mountain road.
On little shelves of tho mountainside
were smoky bivouac fires trying hard
to burn. About them were drenched
soldiers trying to dry their soaked
equipment und uniforms. Hero and
there Happed tiny dog tents Into which
these soldiers would creep for the
night In the hope that tomorrow would
bring a bit of sunshine.
Wounded Know No Hate.
Around u turn iu the road came u
slowly moving, weary ox train. Tho
oxen seemed to mind the rain less than
the horses. It was the contents of tho
wagons these oxen pulled slowly and
ponderously through the mud that
made our auto slow down as we passed
them. Each wagon contained u num
ber of wounded lying In the straw.
It wns In this section that the Rou
manians had attempted to stop tho
German advance by blowing up tho
road at three abrupt curves. They
had done their work well. The explo
slons tore off the whole shelf on which
the road was carried. But the Ger
imin engineers had done their work
equally well. They hurriedly built tip
a wall at about the middle of tho dc
stroyed road, then dynamited away n
big chunk of the overhanging moun
tain side. This fell against their new
abutment, and in three hours the Ger
muns wore able to put artillery ovr
the new road.
CUTTER RECALLED

the senior officer present hailed tho
Manning, which was close liv. thrumMi

guage :
"Manning, there!
"That fellow coming out of Huvnun

With a Hash the Manning's engine

speed ahead, the bugles sounded nil
hands to quarters and In another In
stnnt the Manning was tearing through
the water at full speed. Steadily she
crawled up, and as she did so her of
fleers could see the stranger's hull
stendlly rise on the horizon. Then the
gun sponsons came In view; her llaf
was showing, but it was now plain Hint
tho vessel ahead wns not only u large
cruiser, but unmistakably the Gelor. A
heudllne in the const ahead compelled
tne stranger to haul out more to sea,
and as she did so she slowed down,
then .stopped, and slowly there flut
tered to tile gall' end the Imperial (lag

Cutter Circles Around Geier.
The Manning, without stopping her
great speed, tore under the Color's
stern, put her helm hard-a-port and
made a full lound of the German
cruiser, as much as to say, "Well, you
didn't gel out without being spoken
to." As the Manning spun round tho
Gorman the olllcers of the Geier stood
at salute, which was curtly acknowl
edged from tho Manning, and then as
the Manning headed buck a great roar
of laughter burst from her men, for
