WANTS TO KNOW

Why_ _Germans lied Ordered Neutral

Ministers Out of

Bucharest; This

Order is Unpreccdented.

_\VASHiN(|TON. Jan. 16.--Inquiry was addressed to Germany today by the state department as to the truth gf press reports that German authori- ties had asked all neutral diplomats to leave Bucharest, Roumania, and lied provided for that purpose a spe- cial train. Official in-formation is de- sired so American minister Vopicku

can he authorized to depart. if neces- sary. - ’

Officials are at a loss to understand

why the German government should wish to send the whole neutral diplo- matic corps out of the captured Rou- manian capital.

Diplomacy offers little precedent

for such a request as Germany's, de- spite its le-gal justification.

_ _ ...__ _-_

'Another gallant Prince Edward island' boy, Sergeant W. G. Bruce, son of Mr. A. W-_ Bruce. oi Red Point, ar- rived on the Island yesterday. and came to Charlottetown by the mail train from Georgetown.

He was received at the station by

a guard of honor from the overseas drafts under command of Major Leigh; Mayor Brown, Mr. James Pa.- ton. M_L.A.. representipg the Patri- otic Society, and' other citizens. As he alighted from the train rousing cheers' greeted him, and he was es- corted to a carriage and conveyml to the city hall, where, surrounded by the soldiers anti quite n number of citizens, brief but pretty uddrt\sscs ol' welcome- were delivered' by Mayor ‘Brown, Mr. Paton and Major Leigh. Owing to the fact that Sergt. Bruce is still quite lame, and unable to walk without the aid of crutches, the re- ception was not held in the upper part of the building.

His Worship, Mayor Brown, said:

“We are assembled here to meet a ‘-icro from the front, and we are cer- tainly proud to receive you. We can issure you that we feel deeply for ,ou because of the wounds you have Teceived, but we hope that God' in -lis wisdom will see fit to heal your wounds and restore you to enjoy health and strength once more, whe~ ‘her it be to return to the front or resume your peaceful avocation in 3/our native land.”

Mr. James Paton, M.L_A., on behalf

of the Patriotic Association also ex- tended a very hearty greeting. add- ing: “I hope your presence among us may prove an influence by means of which we may be able to senu plenty more such as you to assist lu bringing final victory. Our province owes a deep debt of gratitude to such noble men as yourself, and 1 hope you will live, long mid see many hap- py days." _

Major Leigh, on behalf of the as-I

sonibled overseas reinforcements nl- so extended a hearty welcome and hoped* that Sergeant Bruce would speedily recover from his wounds.

The returned hero was then intro-

duced to Sergeant Delaney and oth- c-rs. and also had' the pleasure of meeting Captain George H. Campbell, who had been a patient with him in Ilomsgate Hospital. After more r-heersyfor Sgt. Bruce and the singlrng of the National Anthem the returned' soldier was conveyed by carriage- to the homo of Mr. D. A. Bruce, to whom he is related.

Seen by a Guardian reporter yes-

terday afternoon, Sgt. Bruce very rourteously gave a brief outline of his war career. He had been in the west for thirteen years, and held n posi-

l'_-on in the Grain iiixchaugc at \Vlnni- pug at the outbre k of the war. and lnm1ed'iately responded to the call to _-mms, enlisting as it gunner on Aug. 10th, 1914 in the famous 13th Bat-

thnt battery left with the First Con- tingent, being later attached' to the Third Brigade. F. A. Headquart- crs Stad. The first fighting in which he 'took part was in the middle of February at Sallly. I-le took part in the heavy action at Neuve Chappelle andthe second battle at Ypres, re- ceiving liis' first wound there on April 15th, 1915, from a rifle bullet, which struck him in the ankle. I-lc was only incapacitated a. few days by this wound and on April 22nd. at St.

Julien. “got another,--a fragment of shell in ictlng a painful wound' in his side, whiich, however, only kept him in hospital a couple oi days. _ -

On May 2nd he received the wound

which placed him hors de combat. This was at Ypres, when he was _ blown out of a. dug-out for a distance

Al the result of this operation Sgt. Bruce is two and a half inches shorter in stature than before. He l0oks‘ the picture of health today, and hopes soon to havothe complete use of his limbs again.

His promotion to sergeant from

gunner. was gifven him on the field, the man whose place he took having been killed by an explosion.

Sgt. Bruce says the general impres-

sion in England is that the war will ond by August. He says that ai- though the price of everything 'is very high in England at present, the peo- ple are in good' spirits and confident of ultimate victory. The Sergeant leaves this afternoon for his home in Red Point.
