PAGE 28 With Strong Neighbors Peering Over Borders, Rumania Shifts Army Defence Forces, Largest in the Balkans, Steadily Being Strengthened in Case Peace Plans for Southeastern Europe Fail, Are Keeping a Close Eve on Events in Moscow. Border Facing Russia Gets Extra Attention. Associated Press.

BUCHAREST. Sept. Rumania shifted her armed forces today for protection against powerful neighbors toeering over her borders at rich areas they lost to her An the Great War settlement. Her army, already largest the Balkans, was steadily being strengthened just in case peace plans for southfeastern Europe fail. Most important move was strengthening of the border defence, facing Soviet Russia, by replacing the Fifth Army Corps with the more highly mechanized and mobile Second Corps.

Heightens Interest. Rumanian interest in diplomatic discussions at Moscow involving the Soviet, German and Turkish foreign ministers, which may have a tremendous effect on Rumania's future, grew even more intense because of the expected early departure for MoscOw of the Bulgarian prime minister, George Kiosseivanoff. Bulgaria is one of three powers which have demanded return of territory now Rumanian. Russia and Hungary are the others. Rumania now has a military restablishment estimated at close dO 1,800,000 men, with more than 1,000.000 on active service and the rest awaiting call.

Transfer Records. Transfer of government records from Bessarabian cities was started today, but the government insisted the action had no connection with the present situation and was merely continuation of a policy of centralizing the archives. Some Bessarabian landowners were reported disposing of their property and moving to Bucharest br the central area. These moves followed appointment of Constantine Argetoianu Glebe Principal Describes Britain Preceding the War W. D.

T. Atkinson, principal of the Glebe Collegiate Institute, who recently returned from a tour of England, Ireland, Scotland and France under the direction of the National Council of Education, gave the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa description of those countries during the weeks immediately preceding the war, at the club luncheon yesterday noon. In August, Mr. Atkinson told the hopes were still high in England for peace, and the people were undisturbed. They appeared to be unanimously in support of the government.

The children, the Kiwanis were told, regarded evacuation with a matter-of-fact attitude. The newspapers in England, with the exception of The Times, were too sensational. he thought. Describes Sham Battle. Mr.

Atkinson told the meeting of a sham battle he witnessed, which displayed the great mechanization of the army, cutting the man-power almost in half. He visited the air force, the navy and, among his visits to places not concerned with war, sheep dog trials, government houses and a Welsh song festival. C. G. Watt, president, was in the chair.

James A. Hunter welcomed the guests and Frank Astley reported on the health of club. Brigadier Chris. Sparks expressed the club's sympathy to tWO members recently bereaved. The president's rose was awarded CO each of the 21 members of the convention committee, as well as to Jack W.

Billing, Ray Linnen, A. L. Cawthorn-Page, not on the committee, and William Lashmar, pianist of the club, for their work previous to, and during, the recent district convention here. J. I.

Phillips, vice-president of the committee, made a presentation, on behalf of the club to H. Stanley Higman, general convention chairman, for producing "the finest organized held and in carried -out convention ever trict." Robert Westwater asked the club for four volunteers to aid in children's welfare work, and introduced the speaker, who was thanked by Frank G. Patten. Singing was led by Mr. CawthornPage.

THERE'S AT LEAST ONE IN EVERY OFFICE -By Miss Clare BoY! WHAT A POKER AM I GOIN' TO HIT TH' I NOT ONLY BURNED SESSION I HAD LAST HAY TONIGHT! IT MUSTA TH' CANDLE AT BOTH NIGHT!

Esquire Features, 9:261 At the Motion Picture Theaters THE CAPITOL. Clare Boothe's "The Women," that had a long Broadway run, is brought to the talking screen of The Capitol in what will likely prove a hilariously funny picture to men, and possibly not so humorous some to members the gentler is a "war" spots, of females, with jealousy, backbiting (even real leg -biting in one episode) and gossip of the deadly sort. There's nary a man in the big cast that is headed by Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell. Miss Shearer is the happily (she thinks) and sedately married lady, Joan Crawford is the rival (she works in a cosmetic shop) and Rosalind Russell is the lady with the loose tongue who goes about spreading the bad news and scandal.

Action is supposed to take place among the alleged smart set of the big city, and when Mrs. Stephen Haines' (Norma Shearer) husband has an affair with the girl in the perfumery, her girl friends do not hesitate to tell her about it. She is finally persuaded that a trip to Reno is the best way out, so she goes to the Nevada city and gets a divorce that she does not really want. Men folk of the various women who flit across the screen come in for a terrific panning from the shallow, beauty parlor haunting and selfish females. The dialogue while brilliant is somewhat salty at times.

There is a curiously assorted lot of women in the divorce center, but in the end everything turns out satisfactorily for Mrs. Haines and her little daughter, finely played by Virginia Weidler. Miss Shearer gives a somewhat meek performance, while Miss Crawford as the go-get-her-man shop girl is forceful. Miss Russell almost burlesques her role at times, and in a hair-pulling scene with another of the species is a screaming riot. Mary Boland gives a typical delineation as a many times married countess, and Pau- Enjoy the beauty of the autumn woods.

Canadian women's qualifications in war service, registered through the channels of the voluntary registration of Canadian women, will be kept on file at the Voluntary Service Registration Bureau at Ottawa, according to a letter from Labor Minister Norman McLarty received at the V.R.C.W. headquarters today.

Mr. McLarty's letter, written after consultation with the cabi- council, said in part: "The understanding is that your committee will review all the returns to the questionnaires and only those in the class indicated by E. H. Coleman (chairman of the Voluntary Service Registration Bureau) will be submitted to the Voluntary Service Bureau." No class has been indicated yet by Mr. Coleman but it is understood the government will be interested in women qualified to undertake trained positions rather than those who are only free to do part-time jobs in their locallties.

Only Two Bridges. The winding Dniester river, which marks the boundary between Rumania and the Russian occupied Poland and the Soviet and Rumania's Bessarabian provinces, is spanned by only two bridges.

Red armies which marched into southern Poland now hold the Polish end of the bridge at Zalescycki which connects with the highway to Cernauti. The bridge was mined by Rumanian troops, but Soviet forces were reported to have removed the explosive charge. Soviet forces also are in positions at the Russian end of the steel 500-yard, two-deck bridge on the Lower Dniester connecting with Tighina on the Rumanian side. Bessarabia, with an area of 17,146 square miles, was gained by Rumania from Russia and the Russians steadfastly have considered it "occupied territory." Roads Mostly Bad. There are few roads in the area, most of which are bad.

During the rainy season gumbo mud makes normal traffic almost impossible and would be a tremendous handicap to forces attempting to occupy it with mechanized equipment. On the diplomatic front, a German-Rumanian trade agreement was successfully concluded after more than a week of negotiations. The chief point of discussion was settlement of Rumania's 50,000,000 marks (about 000) indebtedness under the barter agreement already in force. Armaments, especially airplanes, machines and other merchandise had been delivered by German firms involved, although Rumaimports to Germany had fallen off during the last six weeks due to shortage of freight cars caused by mobilization. Polish Consuls "Will Carry On" The Polish consulate general here and the various consuls throughout Canada "will carry on" despite the conquest of their homeland by Germany and Russia, it was learned yesterday.

"We have no intention of closing our offices," a consulate official said. A new representative of the fallen republic, Victor Podoski, is supposed to take the post here, succeeding the present incumbent, Jan Pawlica, but no definite word concerning him has come from the Polish government officials, now in Rumania. Podoski crossed into Rumania during the German-Russian invasion.
