Rumania has sold to the central powers 50,000 carloads of cereals, mostly meat, Indian corn and navy beans. The sale, unlike some others which preceded it, has been made at a reasonable market price, ind no special inducements were of fered, nor will it be necessary this t:me to engage in the wholesale brib ing of Rumanian government and railroad officials to get the purchase out of the country. Rrmania was obliged to sell to the central nowers because she cannot sell : to anybody else. The closing of the Dardanelles has locked the gate to other markets, and Russia, the only other entente power with whom Rou. mania now has physical contact, is not in the market for Rumanian ce , reals. So long as Serbia was still a tact and a neighbor, Kumania was able to ship some of her foodstuffs to Saloniki, from v. here they could be reached by entente and neutral con sumers. Now this route is closed. With the conquest of Serbia the central powers have gained a great economic advantag2. Rrmania must sell to them, if she does not want to have her crcps rot on her hands, and " hat is considered n:st as imnortant here must sell on terms more favor able to Germany and Austria-Hungary than she has in the past. But in addition to selling-to the two empires, Rumania is also exporting much food to Bulgaria, and even to Turkey in Europe. Though there is a large supply of wheat, barley and other grains in Anatolia and Syria Constantinople has not been able to reach these easily, owing to limited railroad transport facilities. Ruma nian being more accessible right now than Anatolian urmilled grain, the city administration of Constantinople has iust concluded a contract for a large ouantity of flour which Ruma nia is to supply, the first delieveries being equal to about 2,000 car loads. Much of this has already been rushed south via the new eastern Bulgarian through route. In addition to having no market for Rumanian grain and other food stuffs, , Russia has enough mineral o:l of her j o" n, so Rumania will be obliged to sell ! this necessity to the central power group oi belligerents. iegotiat'.ons for a more advantageous sale basis are said to be in progress. Rumania's attitude i.i these matters, too, has a diplomatic background. Her government intends to remain neutral as long as nossible, and it is declared he will ioin the central powers in case pressure from entente quarters obliges her to take action. Well-informed circles here explain the situation in this manner. The recent mining of the Rumanian Danube stretches seems to support this view. The mining of these waters would embarrass no other than Russian shipping. . Meanwhile the Buncharest press has begun to speak in plain terms of Ser bia's fate and the difficulty of Greece's position. There is still a large Aus-tro-Hungarian force on the Rumanian frontier, and papers like the Bunchar est Moldava never weary in pointing out that a hostile move by Rouniania towards Austria-Hungary or Bugana .vould make the country a "third Bel gium." , John D.

Washington, Jan. 5. The adminis tration continued today to mark time in the situation arising from the sink ing of the British steamer Persia. Until the full particulars are re ceived no action will be taken. Only two Americans were aboard the Persia when it was sunk.

While the situation here still was as intense as ever, the officials were Vopeful that a new way would be found for an amicable settlement of 'ha question. A PAYING INVESTMENT Money Spent in Henlth Work Nets B'g D'vidends. Raleigh, Jan. 5. Is mony put 1n health work safe and a paying invest ment? This is the ouestion that is confronting many North Carolina county ofVifls who, during the year, " ill be called on for a decision. That they need a whole t'me health officer; that they vant medical insnection for their school children: that they should Provide free anti-t"hoid treatment "or all their people these are not the -uertions. Can they afford to nay "or these health measures ? Will they ay and be worth while? These are the "uest;ons at issue and are they hich will become stumbling blocks 'n the nath of nrogress for the coun ty who wavers its decision. A county is not considered a soul 'ess corporation, a life insurance com pany is. The latter is in business not "or its health nor for any pride that t feels for its people; neither does :t consider the welfare of it3 poliey holders from a soul point of view. Yet life insurance ccmpa..ie3 have been foremost in preachine and teaching health, in investing their money in health work, and in snaring r.o labor r means to better the health condi tions of all classes. Why? Because :t pays. Saving the lives of their nolicy-holders is a saving of money to the company. As a case in point, the Metropoli tan Life Insurance Comnany employs visiting nurses for the care of the health of their policy-holders, no less than 12 being employed in North Car olina; it maintains sanatoria where its employes may receive treatment free, and as one feature of it is "edu cational work it insists on periodic medical examination as a means of warding off insidious diseases. If the insurance companies find it such a profitable business to save the lives of our people and to invest mon- ! ey in health work, can a county or ! even the state afford not to be as : wise and clever in a business matter . so important? SPEAKING OF HISTORY Some of the folks were discussing their ages today and Mr. R. J.
