THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE; OCTOBER 13, ' 1918. 1 SMALL NATIONS WITH YANKEE HELP UNBEATEN Confidence of Roumanians Is Renewed and They Are Ready to "Carry On" War to the End. J-t. Vasile Stoica, vice president ot the Roumanian National council at "Paris, who fought all through the invasion of Transylvania and the heart-breaking retreat to the River Sereth, is in America on a mission to win the consent of congress for the organization of the Roumanian legion to fight under the American high command. In an interview with a Baltimore Sun reporter he has told the tragic story of Roumania's par ticipation in the war. "The Roumanian nation will 'car ry on' to the end," he said. "Not one of the small nations is beaten so long as the United States is in the war. No matter, how unhappy its plight, not one of them is disheart ened. , Enormity of Roumania's Suffering. "True, Roumania lies for the mo ment prostrate.' She is betrayed, broken, bleeding, devastated. I wonder if you have, in the United States, any notion of the enormity of Roumania's sufferings. Imagine, If you can, what it would mean to you if all the railroads, bridge fac tories and shops in the United States, frown the Atlantic seaboard to El Paso, had been destroyed by an invader, if your country had lost In one year 11,000,000 people, and if in part of your territory ruled by the oppressor, 360,000 of your broth ers and parents had been condemned to death and shot and hanged! Does this give you some understanding of the situation of the Roumanian na- . . . - .1 Iff non louay: 1 Lieutenant Stoica was with the Roumanian forces which deserted from Transylvania, because they re fused to fight for their Austrian op pressors. He saw the whole of the brief Roumanian campaign. The Russians, then deep in the Hun garian Bukowina, were to strike when the Roumanians struck. The allied army at Saloniki was to advance against the Bulgars. Russia promised 200,000 reinforce ment to the Roumanians, and the rapid forwarding of large supplies sent to it by the allies. Roumania was to strike for the mountain passes and to unlock the Hungarian plain for t common Roumanian Russian advanc? into the heart of central Europe.- But what happen ed? Country Becomes Hell of Misery. The Russians held up Roumania's lupplies. Stuermer'a government sent 20,000 men instead of the promised 200,000. It was not pos sible to begin a sustained offensive from Saloniki. And Brusiloffs Russians failed to budge an inch, although at the height of the Roumanian invasion the troops of the little kingdom actually stood behind the Austrian forces that were guarding the passes of the Car pathians against the Russians. It was a cruel disappointment, i foiled in the moment of their triumph all along the line, exposed on the Transylvania plain to flank attacks by the Bulgars and Ger mans in the south ahd by the Mag yars and Germans in the north, the Roumanians, abandoned to the over whelming enemy forces, began their retreat. Back over the mountain passes, they weie forced, stubborn ly fighting. They blew up the bridges, the raHroads, the tunnels, and dismantled the factories. Great reservoirs of petroleum which had been stored in Roumania, pending peace or an opening of the Dardanelles, were burned, and all the fair countryside assumed a sooty, scorched appearance. While the oil was burning, the smoke was so dense that it was impossible to read, even at noontime. Every thing which the Roumanians left, the swarming enemy ruthlessly ami thoroughly destroyed. Thus, one of the most prosperous and )iappy lands in the Balkans was turned in to a hell of misery. "When we reached the Sereth line," said Lieutenant Stoica, "we sent to Russia to learn the where abouts of our supplies. More than 150,000,000 francs worth of war sup plies destined for our armies were destroyed in Archangel. Tragedy Was Complete. "Then, with the coming of the bolshevist regime, the Russian armies deserted. The Germans ad vanced to Kiev, then south to Odes sa, and completely surrounded Rou mania and its army. The tragedy was complete. There was lack of ammunition and medical supplies. The land was torn with disease. There was to way to get fresh sup plies from our allies, and Roumania was forced to accept the bitter peace dictated by Germany. "But when the news came that America had entered the war, the Roumanians went wild with delight. They renewed their faith and their tonfidence, and today every Rou- Uiauiau tivsiiu in v v a v " va nav central lpowers is determined to 'carry on' until a new and enduring rtr1H near U won. v ,"" t - -' "The other day a member of the Roumanian Parliament that was elected under the pressure of the central powers arose and exclaimed: 'If until today there were a few pro-Germans among us, from now on there is not a single one.' When Roumania is once more placed in communication with the allies, her! soldiers will march again against the common enemy." Russian Peasants Are Fooled by Pretender ,' Amsterdam, Oct 11.

Oggie Bassett, Missouri Pacific freight conductor, entered a restau rant, located loie to, one of the big railroad yards of the city, and known' to the fraternity as "The Dirty Shame," one day this week, andsgave the order to a waitress: "A stack of wheats and tub of Java." In a few n.jments she returned with a plate of wheat cakes and a cup of coffee, which she laid before the customer. He, displaced the cakes with his fork and between two of them he found the remains of a large cofk roach. Exposing the latter to view he called to the waitress: "Here, dearie, I drew the joker. Put it in the discard, shuffle the deck and give me a new deal." Omaha Receives a Thrill. Mrs. Margaret Field, 667 Lincoln boulevard, one of Omaha's war mothers, and who has two husky sons "over there," received a thrill and an unusual experience as the re sult of a coincidence, recently. She was at one of the picture houses where war films furnished by the allies are among the daily fea tures. She was watching a column of "Yank" troops passing down a road in France, and an officer who seem ed to be in command, called'to one of the soldiers. The lad stepped from the ranks, and facing his offi cer and the audience, he came to a salute. Mrs. Field was overcome in recog nizing in the private her own son, Marshall Field. It-seemed as if he were looking into her eyes as he Stood at attention,- Saluted and moved his lips. It is needless to remark that she stayed and viewed the picture over and over again. Severe Jolt to Pool. Until recently, Charlie Pool, who for four years has been secretary of state, and who is now running for congress in the Sixth congres sional district, fondly imagined he had the scalp of "Uncle Mose" hang ing to his belt and the election won. His optimism was given a severe jolt at Ainsworth, last week, how ever, and he is not now so cocksure, and all because of an unpleasant but significant incident that befell him. He was in an automobile with Governor Neville, with whom he was campaigning, and as they were leaving town the democratic post master of the place came running in the direction of their machine, towing a little girl by the hand. Puffing and panting the postmas ter and child came alongside the car and the Nasby said: "Governor Neville, I want to give my little daughter the honor of an introduc tion to the chief executive of the state. Nellie, shake hands with the governor." The little child shyly responded and the governor uttered a few com monplaces. The postmaster then turned to Charlie Pool, and indi cating the secretary of state, with his hand, he said to the little girl: "This is Addison Waite, secretary of state, daughter." Charlie nearly choked with apop lexy. He was speechless, and when the postmaster and daughter had departed he exclaimed: ' Great Gawd, what do yuh think of that! A democratic postmaster who is ignorant of the fact that Ad dison Waite has been a lame duck for four years, and don't know I'm running for congress in his own districtl "Now what do yuh think of that! Shutguns in Civil War. "Prussian ignorance is as dense as its cheek is monumental," said John F. Staley, member of the G. A. R. quartet of Omaha. "For pure, colossal gall the Prussian who pro tests against the use of the Ameri can shotgun in war, in the face of the Prussian crimes with torpedo. Zeppelin, submarine, poison gas ana flame projectors, takes the prize. "I served in the Eleventh Ohio infantry and we operated in West Virginia. Like a great many of the confederates we were armed with shotguns when we first went into the field. "General Grant fought two of his first great battles, Donelson and Shiloh, with most of his men armed with the same kind of shotguns we used. When we went in our regi ment was equipped with old Harp er's Ferry smooth bore muskets. "They were altered from flintlock to percussion, caliber' .69, carrying a ball and three buckshot, their ef fective range being 200 yards, with much of the fighting at half that distance and less. L "The old muskets were terrors to the men who nred mem lor tney had more kick than the bowleg whisky sold in Omaha today. I remember on Washington's birth day, in 1862, we were lined up in front of a fence to give a salute. When I fired, like the balance of my comrades, we, fell back against the fence, kicked there by the re coil of our guns." The Plumber Flu," All on account of the "flu" and a flue, Mrs. Sally Thomas, living at Nineteenth and Webster streets, is having her share of trouble. One day the latter part of this week her furnace went on the bum. She called a furnace man to look it over and make the necessary re pairs. "It's the flue that causes the trouble," said he, after an inspec tion. He worked on it for a while and then said: "I can't work any more. I've got to go home. I've rfbt the 'flu.'" , So he went home with the "flu." Mrj. Thomas caMed a plumber as the only available person to do the work. It was Explained to him the furnac man said the trouble was with the flue and he had the "flu." "Good night I" exclaimed the plumber. "If he has the 'flu' and he worked here, I'm not going to take it from him. He can keep the 'flul " So while (he furnace man has the "flu" the flue must go unrepaired. ' Doctors Not Made That Way. Dr. Albert F. Tyler, one of Oma ha's leading physicians, an expert with the X-ray, and a diagnostician of note, is among the prominent persons drawn in the recent 18 to 45 draft. s Like all the rest of the Omaha physicians who are in the service RECIPE TO DARKEN GRATHAIR A Cincinnati Barber Tells How to Make a Remedy for Gray Hair. Mr. Frank Harbaugh of Cincin nati, O., who has been a barber for more than forty years recently made the following statement: "Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home, at very little cost, that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half pint of water add 1 ounce bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and V ounce glycerine. These ingredi ents can be bought at any drug store at very little cost Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a gray haired person look twenty years younger. This is not a dye, it does not color the most delicate scalp, la not iticky or greasy and does not rub off." Adv. Dr. Tyler will make a perfect figure of a soldier when he dons the khaki. He will look the part and. while he will naturally be proud ot the rank he attains in the army, his professional title will sound best to him, which makes a favorite story told by Col. Fred Grant, who will soon return to Omaha, apropos. The tale, as Colonel Grant jtells it. concerns a colonel of the old regular army who served in the days of the Indian campaigns on the frontier. He is a domineering sort of a fellow and was in command of the post at Fort Niobrara. A new doctor tad been assigned to the station. The colonel was somewhat inclined to'belittle his of ficers in public, and on the first oc casion at mess, after the colonel had seated himself, he addressed the new doctor thus: "Say, doctor, how would you like to have us address you? 'Major Doctor' or 'Major,' or how?" The manner in which this was put was more offensive than the mere words imply, so the doctor quietly said: "Well, colonel, the president and evtn congress, can make a captain and a major, and even a colonel, but they, none of them, can make a doctor. Suppose you just call me 'doctor and be done with it." Tickled Buffalo Bill. Jim Mason, who for 33 years was the colored factotum at T. J. Fo ley's historic thirst emporium on Douglas street, every now and then turns up at Micky Gibson's cigar store, "The Court," opposite the court house, and greets former friends and acquaintances. Jim chuckles every now and then over the fact that he was at one time known by reputation to every crowned head in Europe. It all came about over a story Colonel Cody, the late "Buffalo Bill," de lighted to tell, and which he related to choice gatherings of kings, princes and the nobility when he made his memorable tour of Europe. Colonel Cody, when he came to Omaha, always paid a visit to the Foley oasis in the desert, and there he would meet a convivial crowd of kindred spirits. One morning he came into the place and Jim was the only person he encountered. "Have any of the drunkards who were in here yejterday afternoon shown up yet, Jim?" he asked. ''No," Jim replied, "You are the only one that has shown up yet. colonel." "Buffalo Bill" was tickled over the reply and he told the joke on him self all over the world, always de scribing Jim as the author. Good Bootleggnig Story. An adventurous South Omaha young man, who found the making of money by ordinary business methods too slow for him, in an ef fort to get rich quick, went into the bootlegging game. In order to get the most rapid ac tion, he invested in a fine Packard automobile, which he used for the transportation of contraband liquor from St. Joseph to his home port. He had, as a companion, another reckless young South Sider, one of the kind who makes his living by his wits and who is always broke. On one of their trips they met with misfortune. They were caught red-handed in the crime of illegally transporting liquor at Nebraska City. The car, as well as the load of contraband whisky, was confis cated, and, in accordance with due process of law, the car was put up at public sale. W. F. Moran, one of the bright legal lights of Nebraska City, covet ed the aristocratic machine, and he laid the lines to acquire it. The companion of the former owner of the car, the young man who made his living by his wits, found out that Moran would be the only bidder, al though the latter would act through agents, and he determined the law yer would pay a high price for the Packard. , ' When the bidding opened the South Side adventurer had nothing more valuable on his person than his clothes and one lone cigaret. He had less credit than a cricket. Yet he began bidding on the car against Moran and the latter's agents and he succeeded in running the car up to $1,950 and unloading it on the Nebraska City lawyer at that price. Moran had been 'looking for a bet ter bargain and felt that he would not have to go beyond $1,000 at the utmost. "Gee," said the South Side lad. "It was worse than sitting in at a stiff game of poker. I was playing a game of bluff all the wav through. When I got the pot up to $1,900 I got a hunch it-was time to lay down. I made that lawyer stiff, though, step some, and that was one time he did not get something for nothing." Democracy Demanded At Paris Meeting of Luxemburg Subjects Correspondent Associated Press. Paris, Sept. 30. Dethronement of Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide of Luxemburg and the establishment in the grand duchy of a democracy like that of France, was demanded in resolutions adopted here recently at a mass meeting of subjects 01 Lux emburg residing in Paris. The meeting was called principal ly to protest against the announced engagement of Crown I rince Kup precht of Bavaria and Princess An toinette, youngest sister of the grand duchess. Prince Rupprecht has been commander of the German forces along the northern part of the western front in France. Re cently it was reported that he had been displaced, but later restored to his command. The grand duchess was character ized by several speakers as being en tirely Germanophile, one declaring that when Luxemburg was entered by the Germans, she tefegraphed to the Emperor William, "I pray God every tiay that our army may be successful and soon bring back to Germany a heavy harvest of laurels." Another speaker declared that she went twice to Longwy, personally to congratulate the German Crown Frince Frederick on having captured it. The first time, he said, she was too early and had to hurry back un der ttench fire. The second time, she presented the crown prince with a boupet in the streets of Longwy, Fuack Brentano, the historian, presided at the meeting and made the principal speech, expressing in dignation at the engagement of Prince Rupprecht and Princess An toinette and declaring it was a po litical affair, "devised by Berlin and readily accepted by the grand duchess to please the Germans."
