The authorities in Bucharest have instituted a search for the persons, or organlastion, who nightly plaster the walls in the capital with huge placards giving the text of the speech made by King Carol when he ascended the throne and wherein ha made many promises which, hither- to, remain unfulfilled.

It is belloved that the placarding is also connected, with the anti- Semitic riots which the Govern. ment's measures have so far failed to check.
