Dr. Nicholas Lupu, of the Rumanian Parliament, a delegate to the InterAllied Labor and Socialist Conference, ppeakinj? at n British Women's Patriotic League meeting, described tile life of the Rumanian peasant woman as a living martyrdom. "Some 14,000 Rumanian men and women m Transylvania," he said, "havo been condemned to prison and death for helping to organise the army, and their oppressors now think that their only chance of stopping th© patriotism of .the race is m killincr the women. In the last' six months nil the days hays been meatless days for rich and poor alike, and I have seen villages m which there was not a single inhabitant left, not even a child."
