Wild Disorder in Rumaniaas German War MachineSmashes on Way; ManyChildren Are Dying.

il nllrd Prraa Leased Wire.)

BY CAUL W. ACKEHMAN.WITH THE GEHMAN

AHMV AT URNKKAL YONFALKENHAY.VS HKA I>-QUARTERB IN RUMANIA,Doc. 4.—(Via wireless to theUnited Press.)— Every hun-dred yards there Ih somethingdead or dying ln Rumania.Tlie country Ih mad with ter-ror. Anarchy and chaosreign everywhere, and thomisery of the Inhabitants isterrible.It is to bring order out of this

chaos that Gen. yon Tulff, formermilitary administrator to Poland,before Warsaw's fall, has beennamed German governor-generalof Rumania.

The Rumanians, ordered fromtheir homes by their government,clogged the roads, most of themwith a few belongings packed onsmall ox cartß. The advancingUernianß overtook these refugees.

Wildest Anarchy.Then they turned back toward

their homes, only to find lnthousands of instances that every-thing they had left behind hadbeen plundered by other Ruma-nians.

As we rode through Rammlcuand Walkla the wildest anarchy

prevailed. The streets were lit-tered with household good*, pa-pers, window curtains, dead horsesand dogs.

Meanwhile bands of Rumaniangypsies went from house to houseand shop to shop, smashing win-dows and again plundering thehomes already half destroyed.These plundering bands -men,women and children- piled whatthey could not carry on their ownbacks on stolen horses or cows.

Many Children Die,

Because of deprivations and theroaming on muddy, cold Rumanianroads, the mortality of childrenamong these miserable refugeeshas been very high.

One can hardly sleep at nightbecause of the constant barking ofdeserted dogs. Along the roadslay dead or dying horses. Starvingdogs gnaw the flesh of these bod-ies and crows pick at their eyes.

The terror that is apparentererywhere Is In striking contrastto the maps which hung In everyRumanian home and which hadbeen use.i as part of the propa-ganda to get the Rumanians tofavor war.

These mapc show a "greater Ru-mania," the boundaries ofwhich extend far into Austria-Hungary.

Instead of Rumania's ambitionsbeing realized, Rumania herselfhas fallen before the invader.

A Spirit ThatBtuilds Cities (I nileil Press Leased Wire.)

PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 7.—Afleet of Hritisli merchantmen willsoon call at Portland lo carryaway every bushel of wheat avail-able for sale in tlie Pacific North-west, according to private advicesreceived by dealers today.

According to tllls* information,Hiitish agents In the UnitedStates who draw on the Bank ofEngland for all purchases havebeen holding off, hoping that theprice of wheat would decline.The time to buy heavily is near,It is believed.

The new spirit drawing Tacoma together into ateam-working community that is going to get some-where now exemplifies itself in the army post project.

Allen & Lamborn, printing firm, has informedMayor Fawcett that it willprint the ballots for theJan. 6 bond election free of charge.

A considerable number of other enthusiastic citi-zens have volunteered to give their services as elec-tion officials.

These people feel, they told the mayor, that theywant to do at least that much toward helping alongthe common good.

A committee of public spirited business men hadsubscribed $3500 to meet the costs of the election.

But the volunteer workers take the position theydo not want their neighbors' money as pay for ad-vancing an enterprise that is going to do them asmuch good as it will the donors of the fund. In short,they want to show their public spirit, too.

It is this sort of a feeling that makes communitiesgo forward.

A campaign that is waged between Thanksgivingand Christmas on the Year of Promise certainly isauspicious.

Vessels will be sent hero totake the grain directly to Europeas transportation lines ai-ross Ihecontinent are so congested thatthe shipments could move veryslowly if forwarded by rail.
