LONDON. O.l. W. The Times
publishes an interview iven to its
correspondent with the Rumanian
army by the king of Rumania, in
which the- mnnareh appealed to the
allies not to permit his country to suf
fer the fate of Serbia and Hehrium.
"The Rumanians will tuft falter,"
the king said, "in their allegiance to
the cause, nor can the enemy win
them from their faith in their allies.
Yet the Rumanians pray thai, in
spite of their existing exigencies and
their own huge problems, the allies
will not allow the nffnivs of Rumania,
who has staked her nil in this con
flict, to pass into the back of their
minds and to suffer to such an extent
that she may meet the fate of cither
Belgium or Serbia."

The charges arc said to have had

Mr. Iloyne explained tlmt his ac

"Grand jury proceedings are se

that the grand jury is under the

Mr. Iloyne. "For this reason I have
