>Va.Hin(s Fret Under Boche Burden*
Likely to Fly tu Arma Again.
Pans, Sept. 25.—There is si steadily
growing i*eiief in Rumania that if the
(Jennnn domination and oppression con
tinues, tiiero may !«• an uprising among
the people particularly if the food and
clothing famine is no I relieved. There
are many who feel, say n prominent.
Rumanian who has just, returned here
from Jassy, that it. may not lie impossible
that the Rumanian army will again
take up arms against the Central powers
This conviction, said he, is the stronger
since the recent, decisive victories of the
Allies on the Western front.
Already there is grave unrest among
the peasants, who an forced by the
German agents to work along and la
boriously in farm and factory,
scarcely sufficient wages to buy their
daily bread. The Germans are i thor
oughly disliked by all from the royal
family down to the humblest peasant.
The belief that the Rumanian army
may fight again prevails not only among
the jieople, but m military circles. Dfb
errs are confident that, with America s
legions now participating us the struggle
on the Western frohiff- and their number
stead 1 1 v increasing, the < 'entrai Towers
will be compelled to
