I . used to be, but l gare it up." ; "Well, you don't seem to be very busy. You have plenty of time on your hands, haven't you?" "Lots of It." "Bver do any work?" "Once I did." "What do you do now, if I may ask?" "Don't do nothing. Hain't done nothing for neatly ten years." "So. Why, you're in luck! If I did nothing; for haK-thaJ length of time i aaould be in the poornouse.

RUfilANIA NEAR STARVATION SAY OFFICERS BACK Effect on Future Generations Causing Concern Among Officials , BOLSHEVIK IS FAVORED Sentiment Said to Be Grow ing for Extremist Ruler of Russians JPETROGRAD, Jan. 23. British officers who have made a thorough investigation of conditions In Ru mania returned to Petrosrad today and gave an account of the food sit uation there. They said Rumanian peasant. women have', been almost starving for months or. existing sole ly on maize. The effect is shown particularly among newly3 born child ren, many of whom are deformed. The effect of starvation on future generations is causing1 more concern to the officials than the present state of affairs. The Rumanians have sufficient maize to feed the peasr population until Hay. but this ' diet by Itself-will not' give proper sus tenance. ' ' ! ' Notwithstanding this ' and i other privations, the Rumanian army is maintaining discipline. Information from authoritative ' sources emphat ically contradicts rumors of any pro nounced movement against King Ferdinand, tl Is declared that only the smalles ' minority seeks to over throw the government- Rumanian .troops are aiding the Russian commander In the gradua demobilization of the Russian army on the Rumanian frontier. The Ru manians are On guard against ma rauding bands of Russian soldiers, insisting that all give up arms before being released from their units. A battle occurred four miles from Jas sy between Ukrainian and Bolshe vik! forces. It lasted for eight days. The Bolshevik 1. seized the important railway Junction of Harkov. t Owing to happenings such as these it is very difficult to send food to Rumania, or to the Ukrainian cities and the western and northern Rus sian fronts: Some food Is now mov ing from Ukraine to North Russia by special agreement but trasporta tion difficulties are growl rg. Increased sentiment In favor of the Bolshevik! Is reported in Ukraine although the . Bolshevik! there are hot connected officially with those of Petrograd. An attempt to assassinate Lieuten ant General Stcherbatcheff, comman der of the Russian forces in Ruman ia, was defeated December 20. Several persons were killed re cently in a battle at Kiev, brought ton by an attempt on the part of he pallors to compel officers to give up their' eppaluets. ENGLAND FOUND in(E FAIRYLAND Chapter of Company M Writes Intelligently to Friends in Salem The "Merry England" of poesy ap peared like a fairy realm to the hoys of the 162nd United States infantry when they arrived there Christmas day; Judging from a letter written by K. O. Chapler to a Salem friend Chapter Is a member of Company M. The American found the green grass and the country like a great park. But Chaoler was already anxious to eet at the Germans, and declares that when the Yankees get Into the trenches people who think the war will last a long time will change their minds. He writes: December 5 Here we are !on Christmas day. In Europe. We ar rived here this morning about 9. Maybe you think we' were not glad to get on land araln. One who-has never crossed the ocean can not even imagine what indescribable Joy It gives a person to sight land again. It was so interesting to notice the town as we came in the buildings seem so queer. But the place is kept very neat and to our great surprise the grass was green and nice.-; We haven't seen much yet but hose ! to have a chance to see more of the c'ountrjr soon. We will probably get off the ship tomorrow. We had a very good trip over; we considered It quite a Christmas present to pull in here safe. We were all so glad when rre arrived that we could not help slfbuting for Joy. We were for tunate in getting across without dis aster and the weather was Ideal. Only a very few of the boys were sick. We were required to wear life belts for four days continually but did not have-an opoprtunity to make use of them. V i December 28 At last we are across the ocean and In camp. It la a very neat camp and everything Js quite satisfactory but I would give almost anything for a good meal in Salem. Some people here think that the war will last quite awhile; Most of them say It will not be over by next Christmas but when we get into the front line trenches I think public opinion will be changed. This is certainly a beautiful country we took quite a hike this morning and it was like walking through a park, all the way. I haven't heard yet how often I can write but will send letters as often as possible. December 29 I am . feeling fine I am getting anxious to get at those Germans.
