THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, AUGUST 11, 1919. ROUMANIANS TO ACCEDE TO THE ALLIES' DEMANDS Sullen Withdrawal of Army From Budapest Forecasted In Dispatch From Hun garian Capital. Berlin, Aug. 10. (By The Asso " ciated Press.) The retirement from Budapest of the Roumanian army, owing to pressure from the entente, is probable, but it will be a sullen future, according to dispatches from the Hungarian capital. Vienna, Aug. 10. A demand by ' the Hungarian government for the extradition of Bela Kun and other .: soviet officials who left Hungary and obtained asylum in Austria, is anticipated here. Stiff Note Sent. ' Paris, Aug. 10. (By The Asso . dated, Press.) The note the su preme council of the peace confer ence sent to Roumanian August 6 relative to the armistice the Rou manians sought to impose on Hun- gary, was much stronger than at fint supposed. It stated that the , peace conference was compelled to believe the Roumanian government determined to defy the conference and separate itself from the allied and associated governments, and re quested Roumania to deny by acts " and not by words the charges made against her. The text of the note follows: "Following the fall of the Bela Kun government and its displace ment by a socialistic government, the supreme council on August 5 sent to Budapest a commission of four allied generals to enforce the armistice of November, 1918, and also to meet the heads of the Rou- manian and Serbian armies in order to protect the occupied territory nd regulate the conditions of occu pation. Refused Right. "On August 6 the supreme coun cil, having heard that the Roumanian authorities at Budapest proposed to , impose on the Hungarian govern . ment an armistice contrary to the armistice concluded in November with Hungary in the name of the al lied powers, and in violation of the' general allies insorfar as reparations are concerned, advised the Rou manian government that it refused to recognize the" right of the Rou manian generals to conclude an armistice without the authorization of the allied powers. "At the same time the Roumanian government was placed on its guard against taking any action contrary to humanity or to its authority which might be committed by Rou manian troops the council also de- : inanding that the Roumanian gen cral-in-chief be given orders to con form to the directions of the com .., mission of generals representing the conference and acting by delegated "rthonty. No Direct Reply. "The peace conference has not yet received a direct reply from the Roumanian governmet. It learns that the Roumanian generals refuse to comply with the instructions of the allied generals and have pre vented publication of the telegram aaaressed by tne president of the peace conference to the Hungarian government. They also are per mitting their soldiers to pilfer pri vate property and requistioned and . are sending into Roumania live stock and rolling stock, submitting Buda- pest to an unnecessary blockade - which is starving the city. They . are destroying the railway lines. In '", fact, they are committing a series of actioits which are as much in viola y tion of the decision of the confer ence as of the rights of the allied .and associated powers and, likewise, Primarily of humanity. - ' Defr Issued. '' "The supreme council learns at the same time that the socialistic Hungarian government was over thrown by a coup d'etat, its mcm . bers arrested and the government replaced by one having Archduke ; Joseph at its head. In view of these ;; facts the conference is compelled to .believe the Roumanian government " determined to defy the conference "and to separate herself from the allied and associated powers. "In event that the conference errs )ia this belief, it requests the Rou- manian government: to deny these ' statements at once, not by words - but by actions which can publicly prove that Roumania accepts and is ready to execute in good faith the policy decided upon by the confer ence. The delegates stated the confer ence was still without a direct re ; ply from the Roumanian govern ment.

VIOLA DANA la ARBUCKLE COMEDY in CHFSTFH nilTIMK SCENIC "OUT COLUMBUtlNI COLUMBUS." The Way Mrs. Durkee "Rushed to the Rescue." I saw a look of gratified malice flash into Rita Brown's eyes at Lila Fairfax's offer to go back with her to the city. "Why that's awfully good of you, dear I" "she said. There wasn't even the perfunctory reluctance to accept the offtr which the most elementary rules of breeding would have sug gested. I thought, with a little shiver of disgust, that the phrase "dog in the maanger" was the most apt in describing Rita Brown. She had seen by Alfred Durkee's behavior of the afternoon that no slightest chance of subjugating him remained. I suspected strongly that, rpon finally becoming con vinced of that fact, she had arranged for the very summons she had just received. But the inherent mean ness of the girl could not endure that another woman should have even a chance to win what she had coveted and lost Thus her prompt acceptance of Leila's offer. Alfred's Eyes Plead. Alfred Durkee's voice, confident, pleasant, with a note of determi nation sounding in it, Vut into the conversation. "Nothing doing on that score," he announced smiling down at Leila. "We're awfully sorry you have to leave us, Rita, but you are not exactly a timid boarding school miss, you know, and you certainly don't need Leila and Edith to chaperone you to New York. And as for any little errands you want done, the Dicky-bird and I stand ready to escort you to New York or all over the world if necessary. But the girls stay here." I saw him throw his mother a look which held entreaty and com mand as well. But the little woman needed neither. She struck into conversation, alarmed hospitality in here voice. "Weill I should say you girls will stay here," she announced. It's bad enough to have Rita go" I could not help smiling to myself at the little woman's social hypocrisy, for I knew only too well here senti ments concerning Rita Brown "but to have you all three rush away liki this. I just won't stand it, that's all, so that's settled. I don't want to hear another word about it," she added with pretty peremptori ness. "We'll all turn to and help Rita pack. Alf, you see about her train right away. I'm sure there is one in about an hour which will get her in the city in good time." The Final Thurst With the keenness which tl.c child like little woman sometimis sur prisingly displays, she had effect ively deposed of the possibility of her son being compelled to drive the girl she disliked so heartily to the city There would be no long moonlight motor ride for Rita Brown if little Mrs. Durkee could help it. I surmised that never woul I a young woman's packing be so expedited as would tl at of Miss Brown in the next hour. We all went with her to the train, she. herself, apparently the gayest of our party. But the expression of her eyes whenever they rested upon either, Alfred Durkee or Leila Fairfax was distinctly ,n 'icious. I was sure that if by any chance she could make trouble for either of them, she would seize the opportun ity. One litle stiletto thrust she allowed herself just as her train came into the station. "Don't get too proficient in making strawberry jam, Leila," she cooed as she kissed the girl good bye. It might not be wise." Through her tone ranged a whole "tfust for can CAN AMERICA CROW ITS FRUIT STOCKS? Nurserymen Consider Now the Accepted Time The New Quarantine Will Foster the Business. The above-ground portion of your fruit trees may be pure American, but the under ground portion is very likely to be foreign. With the ex ception of a few apple and peach most of the seedling plants on which grafting or budding is done are im ported and even with the apple, gamut of unpleasant meanings, from deliberate machination on Leila's part to petty jealousy on that of Mrs. Durkee. I heard Lelia's shocked whispered protest, "Oh, Rit, how could you!" caught a mut tered angry exclamination under Alfred's breath, then listened with malicious glee to little Mrc Dur kee's contribution to the conversa tion. "That's where I differ with you, Rita," she said gayly. "No girl can be too proficient in making straw berry jam. But Leila's a wonder, and I don't mind telling you that she't. the only girl I ever saw that I'd like to keep on making it with." Her diction may have been faulty, bu. her meaning was clear. And I, for one, was glad that the malic ious girl, waving to us from the train platform had this unwelcome thought. thought for mental digestion on her way heme. (Continued Tomorrow.) though considerable, progress has been made in producing American grown seedlings from imported French seeds, the great majority of nurserymen have thus far preferred to import apple seedlings from France, and while some of them are higher in price, perhaps the greatest reason is that they can import them cheaper than they can grow them. As the demand for highest grades of fruit and plant products increas es, we should know more of the act ual relation of stocks to quality of product, to the length of life of the tree or plant, to its adaptability to the soil and climate and to resist ance to diseases and insect attacks. It is claimed that in America any condition of European soil and cli mate may be duplicated, and the problem now is how to produce in this country the millions of ordinary apple, pear, plum and cherry stocks which hitherto have been secured largely abroad. "If stocks are to be produced in this country, to take the place of those hitherto secured abroad," says the Department of Agriculture, "it would seem proper that effort should be made by the government to aid those who are anxious to know where the work can best be done and how it may be done to the best advantage. The chief problems are to find regions and soils in this country where stocks may be commercially grown and to demonstrate on a commercial scale that such stocks are equal to or better than those grown abroad." If we are ever to build an American-grown nursery business, now would seem to be the proper time to push it, because the foreign ship pers are now more or less demoral ized and the quarantine preventing the importation of foreign stocks on account of dangerous insects from plant diseases, which went into effect June I, will encourage Amer ican nurserymen to begin to propa gate their own stocks as soon as possible. "I see no reason why America should not have a great development in the nursery line, as the war has taught us that we cannot only raise our own plants, but many of the seeds that we formerly imported," says Charles S. Cahvell, president Corn Exchange National bank of Philadelphia. "Under ordinary con ditions it would be dangerous enough, but under present condi tions on account of the great scarcity of labor on the other side I have no doubt that the stock has been infected to a greater degree than ever, and the danger from im porting such plants is greatly in creased. "Here in America we are short of help, and likely will be for several years, and we cannot afford to add to our troubles in the way of in fected plants calling for labor to fight the scourge, when it is very easy to keep it out now."

Be she young, middle-aged or old, there is that in herent instinct to mother a baby, and such was the case of Bernice, a beautiful Ital ian girl, who was being reared in a convent in Naples. She had seen but one baby, that in the arms of the Madonna, and asked some American visitors if there were real babies in the fleshand blood in the world outside. She was told that there are countless babies and that many are cold and hungry. This touches her heart and at an opportune time she escapes and makes her way to America. There, in a most novel and unique way, a story is woven around her love for babies, and is pictured for you in unman Deme WITH ANITA STEWART in the title role, supported by a cast that ably portrays the trials and sorrows and joys that come to the little Italian woman.
