GROWING UNREST IN RUMANIA
WAR ALARMS SABOTEURS ACTIVE LONDON, 3I st December. The Ankara correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” says reliable observers who have arrived from Rumania confirm that sabotage is occurring almost daily. It greatly increased during December with grave effect on the oilfields, the refineries and railway tracks. Exhaustive efforts to discover the culprits have failed. The shortage of food and fuel is bitterly felt throughout the country, and the population in many regions is reported to be almost starving. The German troops, however, are receiving numberless trainloads of food, clothing and other commodities, bought with Rumania’s own money or requisitioned. Unrest is growing among the middle class and the poor, who are the chief sufferers since the Iron Guard assumed power. Passive resistance is growing because the people realise that the Iron Guards have presented the country to. the Germans in order to satisfy their own ambitions.
It is reliably estimated, the correspondent adds, that only 65,000 Germans are in Rumania.
