Paris, Sopt. 9. The Roumanian
delegation to the peace conference
announced today that It would, not
lKn the peace treaty, the signing of
which by Austria and various other
powers haa been set for tomorrow.
- It had been expected that Rou
mania would refuse to sign, due Co
the supreme council's flat refusal to
grant bT the privilege of making
reservations in connection with the
rights of minorities In territories- de
tached from the former -Austrian
empire, as provided for In the peace
treaty.
It 1s also considered Improbable
that the. J a go-Slav delegation will
sign the treaty. They have objec-
tiona similar to the Roumanians.
New York" Sept. 9. "The Amerl-1
can doiiffhbov' la the finest soldieri
in the world, and it didn't take the
Uenh&qs long to find it out," declar
ed. General Pershing in an Interview
granted newspapermen today.
"We boasted a little probably of
the -peculiar qualities of the Ameri
can fighting man, but his aggressive
ness, initiative and devotion as a
memlier of the American expedition
ary forces gives us every right, to
boost and to be proud of him," the
commander said.
"I suppose it is because of the way
the American boy is raised, due to
the fact that he is encouraged to de
velop his initiative and that he feels
at any crisis of his 'life that he Is
master of his own destiny."
" The general refused to discuss in
ternational relations,' the league of
nations, or his own plans on enter
ing civil lire.
"I am still on duty," he said. "It
Is a pleasant duty Unit very strenu
ous." The general had Just finished
luncheon after a little rest to re
fresh himself.
"General, what do you consider
the -crowning achievement of your
service abroad," he was asked.
"Cutting the German lines at Se
dan on November 6," was the reply.
"Was that a more difficult opera
tion than cutting the Hindenburg
line?"
"Cutting the 'Hindenburg line was
a' start toward cutttg (he line at Se
dan. It was hard to tell what might
have become of It under different
circumstances. It followed the final
effort of the Germans to force their
way through but their armies were
beaten before they started."
"General, will you say a few words
about Marshal Foch."
''Marshal Foch." he replied, ap
preclatively, "is -a very-great strate
gist."

Weimar, Germany, 8ept. 9. .Dan
iel Stuecklen, a member of the Na
tional iuwenably, recently told the so
cial democratic party of which he is
a leader that there were 340,000
German prisoners of war In French
hands, 195,000 in English hand,
.'0,000 In American and 20,000 mili
tary and 30,000 civil prisoner in
Siberia.
The French, Stuecklen asserted,
treated German prisoners, more
harshly than any of the other na
tions. He said there were no com-'
plaints to make regarding the treat
ment of prisoners by the authorities
of the other countries.
Private German charities, he an
nounced, had raised 10,000,000
marks for prisoner and the govern
ment had provided 150,000,000
marks for them. "Every prisoner on
returning home," he said, "will re
ceive 300 mark relief money unless
he Is accused of treason In deserting
from the army and going over to
the enemy. Six hundred mark will
be given prisoners In exceptional
case If the community I willing to
furnish 150 of that amount.
"After being discharged a.nd de
mobilized each prisoner receive
gratuity of 50 marks and -pay for
eight -weeks, which equals another
300 marks. Germany will take sim
ilar measures for returning German
civilians."
