GERMAN EFFORTS

KING IN IMPORTANT COUNCIL
Outcome of Conference is Said to Be
t
Satisfactory to Entente Powers
German "Agent Said to be Becom
ing Unpopular.
LONDON, April 13.—The Daily
Chronicle’s special correspondent at
Bucharest says:
“A conference of great importance
has been held at the Rumanian king's
residence. It was attended by the
Chief of the General Staff, Premier
Bratiano, and the Chief of Press Ser
vice of the Ministry of the Interior.
It is significant that no communique
regarding this conference has been is
sued but I am aware from a most re
liable source that the allied ministers’
at Bucharest have received news with
entire satisfaction. Immediately aft
er the conference the king received
the Greek Minister in audience.
“It is a noteworthy fact that the
machinations of Herr Brzberger, the
leader of the German Catholic party
in the Reichstag and for a time Ger
man political agent in Rope, have
completely failed and his continued
presence in Bucharest is beginning to
evoke strong signs of displeasure.”
