Two years ago to-day Roumania joined the Allies, and made war on Austria-

Now she lies helpless under the enemy heel, undone by the defection of Russia. Yet never more than to-day has she been the enemy of her enemies,, and faithful to her allies. She entered the war to' redeemr her op pressed Transylvanian kiasen, and though she now shares their fate, she looks forward with certain hope to their re- demption and to her own.

sia, failed to deflect her gaze from her Transcarpathian brethren. Though dynastic policy long made her an ally ef Hapsburg and Hohenzollern, she always knew that the day would come when her sword would be needed to cut the ties that bound an alien yoke upon the necks of a many millions of her own people.j What she did not know, and what i pro- pows for the first time to reveal, wis that Her first Hohenzollern ruler was a party to plans which contemplated, indeed, some degree of Roumanian national unity, but which would have left Roumanin a vassal of a great Hohenzollern dynastie trust. It is to the lasting honour of King Ferdinand of Romania that he broke away from his uncle's policy, and placed loyalty to his adopted country above family ties.
At the end of September, 1011, 1 wäs received in audience by King Carol at Sinaia before returning to my official duties at Vienna. King Carol had been interested in a trip of some English visitans through our country, I had no companied them, and the king - wished to hear from me some account of their impressions Then, after, questioning me on our new commercial treaty with Aug. tria-Hungary, he said" abruptly:-" I know you are a Transylvanian, and that you have consequently special knowledge, of our neighbours. I know also that you are acquainted with the leading Roumencă, of Transylvanin, and I am informed that you see them from time to time, and maintain intercourse with them."
Somewhat embarrassed by the tene of rebuke that ran through the King's words, I explained that several of the intellectual lezder of Transylvania. had been my schoolfellows or fellow-students at the university, and that I had not thought it incompatible with my official positon to keep up my acquaintaince with them.
Yes, yes, replied the King; but you must see them less often, less often. Comradeship of that kind may be wrongly interpreted
Then after referring to the notorious! Apponyi School Bill of 1907, which aimed at the forcible Magyarizaton of the Transylvanian schools, and to the estab lishment of a Magyar Uniate Bishopric at Hajdu Dorough, for the purpose of dividing the Roumane clergy, the King added:
"I understand the patriotic idealism of impatient young fellows like you, but great results can only be attained by patient and methodical work. We Rou- manians must first of all settle our accounts with Russia, who took from us in 1812 the richest portion of old Moldavia and repeated her odious con duct in 1878, although my armies had borne so glorious a part alongside of the Russina Armies in war against Turkey.
One our accounts are settled with Russia, continued the King in a lood voice, Germany herself will raise the question of Austria-Hungary."Yes," he repeated emphatically, before ten years are out, we shall have settled with Russia, and then the question of Austria will be raised by Germany herself."
The Steamors are all fitted throughout with electric light and have accommodation for a limited number of saloon-passengers.· ́

I have often reflected upon King Carol's words, which I noted carefully at the time, and have wondered what arrangements existed between him, the German Emperor, and possibly the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, whose first State virit, with his morganatic wife, the Duchess of Hohenborg, had been paid with special solemnity to the Roumanian Court. King Carol never spoke at ran- dom, he certainly had reason to believe that the German Emperor contemplated Hapsburg Mona German

the Drows Council held at Sinaia in August, 1914 He did not see that the only transformation of Austria Hungary, which can give freedom and
unity to the Roumanian people and preserve Europo from German domination, must consist in the creation of a barrier of free and united Slav and Latin States stretching crom Europe from the Black Sea, the Aegean, and the Adriatic, to the Baltic. Of this barrier the new and fully united Roamania, which will arise after the Allied victory, will be sturdy battress.
