reselling to the Rumanian people a
portion of the products seized, and
this system cantinues to be'applied on
a large scale. Thus Rumania has to
give up to the Central Powers 125,000
tens of wheat at the requisition price,
and has :to buy an equivalent amount
in Bessarabia at the market price;
this operation alone entails a loss of
$14,000,000. As the treaties of- Bu-
charest stipulate that all the products
of Rumanian farms and vineyards
shall be sold to the- Central Powers
for nine years at prices fixed by the
conquerors, it may be seen that the
ruinous experiences of the recent past
are merely a foretaste of -what the
future has in store.
All the requisitions levied in Ru-
mania by the invaders have to be paid
for by the Rumanian Government wi-
der the peace treaty. The Govern-
ment must also become responsible

must, advance the sums necessary to
pay for the . future purehases of the
Central Powers, for the latter are not
in a position to square their accounts
with industrial products deliveed to
Rumanian consumers. The monetary
situation is se disturbed by these ex-
tortions that the price paid to Ru-
manian farmers for their wheat re-
present less than $1.40 per quintal,
(220 pounds). Besides, the Rumanian
State finds itself a"debtor" to the
Central Powers for the board and keep
of their troops of occupation and 'pris-
oners of war; this is the object of the'
loan, estimated at $500,000,000, which
Rumania is about to negotiate at Ber-
lin and Vienna.

THE SHEARING OF ROUMANIA.
When the invaders entered Rumania
'they found in the Occupied. territory
more than 3,500,000 tons of cereals
or oleaginous grains, the whole vine-
yard crop of 1916, a large number of
fowls, and a stock of domestic animals
amply sufficient for the food and farm-
ing needs of the country. They left'
only enough to preserve theelife of
the Inhabitants, without whom there
would be no laborers to cultivate the
fields. The rest was divided. into two
, parts; about one-half was confiscated,
the other half requisitioned, the re-
quisitioned price being fixed at two-
thirds of the market price. The loss-
es thus inflicted on the owners are
estimated at more than $400,000,000.
For the year then current the Ru-
manian people were authorized to con-
sume an average of 500 grains (about
17 ounces) of Indian Born per head
each day. In certain regions all pro-
visions were requisitioned, and the
peasants have had to purchase back
at increased prices, enough food to
preserve life. The invaders also re-
quisitioned 70 per cent. of the wine
and fruit, and the total production of
meat, wool, eggs, milk butter and
cheese. The German military author-
ities have fixed 'the number of eggs
that each hen is expected to lay and

depend a good deal on our: after -the -

be made of the greatest service to
agriculture. The •mota;t tractor wa-
in use for the first time enables

man to do the work of three. Add to
this, that we are no iorageif dependent

trate beds of Chile, but have the whole

output of wheat and other }cereals. In-

WAR, PEACE AND INVENTIONS
Necessity is the mother of invention,
and the war has introduced us to such
cogent necessities that a numerous
family of inventions might be expect-
ed as the result. Nor have those who
foresaw this been disappointed. Put-
ting aside for the
moment man -slaying
i
n
g
devices like tanks, machine guns, and
aeroplanes, the number of mechanical
inventions produced since the war is
legion. Most of these never .come to
the ears of the public, and have been
adopted . in munition factories with
the one purpose of lessening the de-
mand for skilled labor—or, in other
untrained workers
enabling
words, of
such s women or discharged soldiers
to do by the help of machinery what
before the war was done , only by the
hands of men trained by long years
of apprenticeship. It is quite true
that most of this new machinery is
used at present for the manufacture
of waxlike appliances of one kind or
another; but it is none the less the
case that it can nearly all be turned,
when peace at length comes, to peace-
ful purposes and that the "jigs"—
to call them by their professional
name—which enable an unskilled girl
to turn out shells by the hundreds
can, with very little alteration, be us-
ed for the multiplication of the parts
claimed by the German and Austrian ease
authorities—by reason of work .done
on them—for periods extending be-
yond the declaration of peace. When
a farm is given to an individual whose
services the invader wishes to recom-
pense, it is generally at a very moder-
ate rental, and certain proprietors
have thus seen their revenues reduced
by one-half. It should be added, how-
ever, that the proprietors have often
sameway that water is new, and the
means of production would thus be
brought, as the advertisements say,
within the reach of all. Not the least
of the benefits that this would confer
on the community would be the wiping
out of the reproach of the "Black
Country," and the restoration of its
natural scenery to one of the loveliest
parts of England.
Such are the lines along which mod-
ern ieventiori may, be expected to de-
velop. Many disappointments are
doubtless in store for us before • it
comes to'fuli fruition, but its course is
at least possible of accomplshment.
What it demand, above all else, is the
pulling together and the hearty collab-
oration of the community. Will it get
it?.
