Adeverul, delivered a long speech in which he declared himself
dissatisfied with the policy of the Government, which ought to have
taken a decisive stand at the beginning of the conflict. Instead of
doing this, the Government has put us in the position of not knowing
to which side we must turn, as long as our only intention is to turn
first to this side and then to that, without having the necessary
guarantees.
After paying high tribute to the valor of the Servian Army and the
heroism of Belgium, the speaker demonstrated that Rumania, since the
beginning of the conflict, ought to enter the war on the side of the
Triple Entente.
He afterward protested against certain facts that the expressed
neutrality of the country cannot tolerate; such as the passage through
Rumanian territory of guns and ammunition from Germany for Turkey; the
taking over by Germany of certain medical supplies originally intended
for the Rumanian Army, and exchanging the same for grain.
He then assailed the propaganda carried out by German emissaries
through certain news agencies, and the corruption of certain papers of
the Rumanian press.
And during all this time, concluded Mr. Mille, our brethren in
Transylvania are being exterminated by war while expecting our
intervention. The Government must break its silence, which is becoming
more and more suspicious, and frankly affirm its intention.

position and make an immediate alliance with the Triple Entente.
M. Disesco added that the Rumano-Austro-German alliance ceased to
exist from the day when the Crown Council was held at Sinaeia; that
council settled the matter of Rumania's neutrality. The speaker laid
stress on the ingratitude of Austria toward Rumania in 1913, and
alluded to the statements made recently by M. Take Jonesco concerning
the threat of A
