Show commiiiul is cliff icull to aocount for. Ru-mmiin's Ru-mmiin's troops have vnU"Til YUi.lnpest with all the temper of coiHii'vors, K-spito K-spito the fact that Kinij Ferdinand's 'government made a sorry siiowin:; in the closing months of tie war. The breach of armistice provisions is so palpable that the Rumanian government govern-ment will find it no easy fas1: to extricate ex-tricate itself from its false position. It is evident that the Rumanians are desirous de-sirous of squaring old grudges against tho Hungarians. They threaten, however, how-ever, to undo all that has bvu accomplished accom-plished by the allied powers in the past several months in the way of straightening straight-ening out tho Hungarian tangle. CHECK FOR RUMANIA. The allied mis? ion in Budnpcst has dclciratcd governmental authority to : Archduke ,'oscph and the former com- ' iiiandc r of t Ii c AustroTIunarian forces , on the southern section of the eastern front during the first two years c" the var is now at the head ci affairs in Hungary.

At Inst accounts the Kumanian forces were still active and were seizing supplies for shipment to Rumania. If order is to be restored in cen'rnl Kuropo tho authority au-thority of the allied governments, will have t0 pt. rcr-oenized by the Rumanians Ruma-nians as well as the people of the other countries. So far the Kuman chieftains have refused to follow instructions from Paris. They seem hept on carrying carry-ing out a ruthless olicy of their ovp i'1-a rd less of consequences and the' oejii-ate state of affairs all over the. world. P i-i becoming more evident ev.-ry day that the rei'n of chao- will ; oon )f. '4 ;u unless the German peace i t ia a! y and league, of nations covenant arc ratified without delay. T!;e demands made by Rumania as a condition of peace with Hungary so ib-arly constitute a violation of the a rm in; ice provisions determined upon by the allied towers that its prompt re-pudial re-pudial ion by the allied supreme c n-eil, n-eil, announced from Pari, was a foregone fore-gone er.nclusion.
