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.

Wounded in Action
Upon ills Arrival.
_ _ ...__ _-_
'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.

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.
