One lieutenant, Metered in his advance by a machine (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.
