Id Finland, three and one-half mil
lion people, caught in between Rusal*
and Sweden, face a failure of their
cereal harvest. They are now on a ra
tion of 150 grams of war bread a
day. That Is less than a quarter of a
loaf. A large part of that Is made up
of bark and beech buds. It looks now
as If a large number of them would
necessarily starve.
Rumania is caught in between Rus
sia and the other belligerents. Her
people are short of food. Her sup
plies have been used up. We can see
no way in which they can avoid dis
ease and starvation.
If all the Waste in a community of
12,000 could be piled up in a city
square you would find that the whole
community would be shocked.

trozeni mines as well aa precaution
against surprise attacks. The new
frontier, however, will not go deeply
into Rumania. The economic demands
relate particularly to imports of pet
roleum and agricultural products and
the evacuation of Austria-Hungary
by Rumanian troops affects a strip
of Bukowina still ocupted by the Ru
manians.
Finally, the statement says, the
stipulation that Rumania must give
transport facilities for the troops and
transports of the central powers to
Odessa appeared necessary in order
to safeguard the shipment of large
supplies from Odessa by way of the
Volga, Dnieper and Danube rivers to
the central empires.
