RUMANIAN ARMY

KING DROPPED FROM COUNCIL [U.P.A -By Electric Telesrapn-Copyright| LONDON, 9th December. A Berlin message makes reference to important changes in the constitution of the Rumanian High Army Council, and says that the King himself is no longer represented on it. It is significant, remarked a London commentator. that the world has to rely almost entirely on the German news agency for news of affairs in Rumania, j According to a Bucharest message published in Berlin to-day. the! Rumanian Commission inquiring into j crimes committed against the Iron j Guard during the previous regime has j been dissolved. This decision has not i been taken, as it might have been | thought, because their opponents can i now afford to be magnanimous, but be- ' cause all the men whose activities were under review are either dead or have fled the country. The commission states that the last of the men against whom it proceeded were massacred by Iron Guard extremists in gaol a week ago. Another Bucharest dispatch states that in accordance with a recent decree eight Danube steamers .owned by Jews, have been confiscated by the Rumanian Government.
