Accord ing to Rumanian official telegrams at the disposal of The Associated Press, a great part of the Ruman ian army ha ben ' engaged 'in dis arming and fighting Russian troops. Whole Russian units left the front and proceeded toward the Russian border, attacking Rumanian towns and villages as they passed. 'Fighting is now. in progress be tween Rumanian troops and Russian sarabia as far as the bank of the niester," says a Jassy telegram. "The position of the Rumanians is . more than awkward, but they are com pelled to take all neeessary military measures to prevent the starvation, not only of their own troops, but also of the civilian population and loyal Russian regiments still on the Ru manian front." Rumanians who had resided for a long time in Russia were treated in ruthless fashion by the local Bolsh evik authorities, according to the Jassy telegrams. Wholesale arrests were reported of Rumanian officers, officials, members of TarHaraent, and business men, especially at Odessa. When the dispatches were sent nothing had been heard of the members of the Rumanian legation who were expelled from Petrograd at a few hours notice on January ?-8. They were supposed to be somewhere in: Finland. - f During the Russian attack on Gil atx the Rumanian troops, after twen- ty-rour hour hard fighting, disarmed the Ninth Russian Division and capt ured fifty guns. About February 1, the Sixth Russian Army Corps at- lacxea me center or the Rumanian front In Moldavia, with hcaw rrm. lery, but the Rumanians surrounded the attackers, disarmed them nd sent them under convoy into Russia. une new Itepublle or Beesarabia appealed to the Rumanian army com mand to send troops to suppress law less . bands of Bolshevik irregulars wno were devastlng parts of the country.. In the interior of Besara- Dia. whence the Rumanian armv ob tained its rood supplies, the Red Guards seized food depots, stopped supply trains, and generally tied up the whole situation until Rumanian troops were sent to straighten It out.

The gray uniforms they did not like at 'ail, say ing in the German equivalent that they had been "fed up" with the whole business of war. The mud that spattered ; them was from a certain 'locality In No Man's Iand through which they had been piloted earlier in the day by their captors. They were thankful because for them i the war was finished. One young Saxon was so struck with the good treatment and the good food that he asked permission from the officer in charge of the patrol to go back through No Man's Land and get his brother. Two of the quartet volunteered the Information that they had tried to escape from Ger many into Holland last September, but had 1 been caught and shoved back Into the ranks. All trankly gave up every bit of information they ceuld, some of it being of extreme value.

February 25. Ber lin's food supply was short at, the beginning of this year owing to the lack of fertilizers and to the fact that several of the federal states of the German empire had prohibited the export ofood to Prussia, de clared Dr. Rets.'the mayor of Ber lin,, in an Intervtewin German news papers of January, which have been received here. The mayor said: "It is very difficult at present to obtain the necessary food articles in ,Berlin j We have concluded con tracts for the delivery of vegetables but have received only a'stnall sup ply on these contracts. We have sent a large army of buyers to1 all J parts of the country which has in volved great expenditure. " "If we couldsupply the farmers and gardeners with fertilizers we cer tainly would receive the needed sup ply of vegetables, but, unfortunately, we- were forced to give to the army administration the ammonia produc ed in large quantities In our gas plants. Many small cities have fared better In that respect." In the future, I)r? Reicks said, the army administration would allow Berlin to retain a, larger amount of ammonia and had threatened to im pose .heavy penaltiek for failure to fulfill contracts .jtedeliver food 'to the people of. the ,tty. Concerning the action of the 'farmers In with holding food from Berlin, the mayor said: "The prohibition of exports by sev eral federal states and in many ag ricultural districts of Prussia, has Injured us greatly. ' In southern Ger many there was an abundance of veg etables and fruit. Much of it was wasted, there. More rigorous meas ures are needed." - The. German papers reported that the eity authorities of Neukoelln, which, borders on Berlin, have sent a memorial to the government com plaining of the lack of food. It was asserted that Neukoelln had received only one-twentieth Df the supply of foodstuffs for which it had con tracted. So serious was the shortage of fodderTin Germany that the weight of cattle has decreased fifty per cent, according to a statement, "from an authoritative source." published in the Berlin Vorwaertz of January 15. This statement was made to explain why Berlin was recAving an inferior quality of meat. '.ifjhe quality of meat supplied by the attle dealers' associations for distribution in Greater Berlin leaves anything to be desired. "th: state ment read, " the reason therefore must be sought In the bad times. The shortage of fodder Is so great that the cattle cannot be. adequate ly .'fed. As a result the weizht of live stock has decreased fifty 'per cent."

(Correspon dence of The Associated Press) r The murderous work of a German air plane raider 'by whose bombs many w omen and children, were crushed cr burned to death in a recent raid on 1,'jiidon is vividly described in an tnteriew by one of the victims in the Daily Chronicle. It isuch stor ies as this that have roused the Hilt on to grim w;rath and the demand fr vengeance. ' The narrator; a ratfh, had taken refuge In a shelter wh many others; fncluding a "nunibeiPiof women and children.

Tli?n came t4e explosion. F.ttc was a fjhort. sharp hissing sound, which I suppose It made in its de scent, which even In the basement we could hear quite distinctly, and then came the crash, worse than any thing I have ever heard. I think most of us down there were stunned for a moment -or two. and the air seemed full of flying ipleces of con crete. Fortunately I was Just out side two big iron doors at the time, sot I ascaped the' worst of it. but I think it must have been at that time my hand was. Injured. "Fragments were blocking up the exit, and we had to fight throueh to clear a way out. It was pitiful to hear the women, some calling out distractedly for their children, and others screaming that their babies had been killed la their arms. Some of the children we brought out were dead. "Our firemen were at work as quickly as possible, but in a few min utes the, whole place was like a fur nace. The bomb had fallen and ex ploded, yet not more than ten feet away" I came across two little chil dren standing absolutely untouched. They were crying with fright, and I got hold of them, and managed to get them out. That was about the last I remember of it, for almost im mediately I fainted I suppose with the pain of my hand and arm, or which only then did I seem conscious. "One-great massif concrete. weihlng, I should think, about halt a ton, had fallen down right on a group of four women.

LITTLE BROWN MENAIDFRENCH Pick and Shovel: Work Re Hie ves French Troops for Actual Fighting FRENCH FRONT, Feb. ?8. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Smart little brown men from Annam, and other parts of In-do-China have relieved the French troops of the pick and shovel work which is, next to actual fighting; one of the most important duties Of a modern army, not only in thefirst line positions but .in .the rear of the battle, front. . At many points along the line these soli iersi for' they are thoroughly, trained fighting men, many of whom have taken a valor ous part ,ln colonial wars may be met cheerfully and willingly doing their bit In the great task of beating the German's. No chore Is too diffcnlt or too perilous for them. "Unloading and loading from trains daily onto motor lorries and Intp ammunition wagons millions of sheVls and., rifle- cart ridges, hand grenades . and -aerial torpedoes needed .y their yhite com rades, laying our roads across fields and marshes where no passage for merly existed, digging reserve trenches, building huts, driving am balances these heavy labors are ex ecuted by them with wonderful celr erity and skill. On one day, during a recent offen sive, a battalion of Annamltes trans ferred from an ammunition train to succeeding convoys of motor lorries 22S.000 three-inch shells and 90,000 larger projectiles and thus helped the French artillerymen win a de cisive victory.

Kvery erfort Is made to respect the hab'ts tnd religious practices of the native soldiers, who greatly ad mire their officers, all of whom have held commands In the colonies.
