(Correspondence Associated Press.)
; London, MayJ 31. A private letter
written to King Ferdinand of Rumania
by EJmperof Charles, of Austria-Hun
gary, in the latter part of February,
marked the turning point in Ruma
nia's participation in the v world war,
and was one of the deciding factors in
the long series of , intrigues which
eyentually broke the spirit of the Ru
manian king.
Under this outside pressure Kin
Ferdinand changed from an ardent
supporters of the war against Ger
many, into a lukewarm and vacillating
opportunist and finally into a distinct
peace advocate.
"This is a time when kings must
stick together."
This is the most striking sentence
of the letter of .Emperor Charles.
A summary of its contents was com
municated to the American minister
and to the Associated Press corre
spondent in Jasey by a' high official.
In intimate terms the Austrian em
peror directed the attention of King
Ferdinand to the great danger from
all monarchiar Institutions from the
wave of socialism which was sweeping
eastern Europe. He drew a heartfelt
picture of the danger to Austria from
the spread of Bolshevism across the
Russian border and declared the Ru
manian dynasty was in equal danger
from the same source.
Emperor Charles pleaded with the
Rumanian king to join with other mon
archies in Europe in the death strug
gle with democracy and promised that
If Ferdinand would abandon the allies
Germany and Austria would support
him in retaining his throne.
Some Anxiety Had Been Felt
Because of the Freight-J
Congestion
Special, to The Dispatch.)
" "Washington, June 11. A reassuring
statement regarding the movement of
the potato crop of eastern North Car
olina was made to Senator Simmons
by the United States railroad admin
Istratlon. Some anxiety has been felt
in the state because of the possibility
of freight congestion affecting a' crop
which must be moved quickly. Sena-
cur simmons is now promised tnat a
sufficient number of . cars will be pro-:
vided and while the crop may not be
moved as rapidly as heretofore there
will be no serious delay.
After urging upon the railroad ad-
ministration the necessity of quick ac
tion, Senator Simmons issued the fol
lowing statement: ' : . -
"During the past few days I have
had up with director of transportation,
Jttr.; unamDers, the- matter or tne move
ment of the potato crop ; in eastern
North .. Carolina-and have. emphasized
to the transportation , authorities . the
urgent' need of Mmmedltae? action In
furnishing a sufficient number of cars
to "the potato growers of the state and
in seeing that5 this perishable crop' Is
moved promptly and with dispatch.
The railroad administration is giving
the matter close attention and Mr.
Chambers now advises - .me by tele
phone that the administration is act
ing and that no -alarm need be . felt
asto the proper movement of the crop
He says that steps have been taken to
furnish a sufficient number of cars and
that while the movement may not pro
ceed as rapidly as in former years,
the croD will eet on the market in
plenty of time."
