Bucharest, Dec. 3.
Although the capital is outwardly peaceful, there is a weird atmosphere not to be denied about the calm following the disturbances which apparently have resulted from the fatal shooting, à few days ago, of Captain Cornelius Codreanu, former leader of the Iron Guards.
M. Armand Caldinescu, the Minister of the Interior, who has a reputation for fearlessness, has insisted on in creasing the guard about the Royal Palace, and all lines of communication, especially the railway stations and bridges, are now heavily guarded.
Everyone entering the International Telephone. Company's building searched, and the guards round the building include secret servicemen.
The building, itself, has already been searched for bombs.
Ever since the death of their leader, the Iron Guard "death squad" has sworn to "give the last drop of blood io their cause," and has taken over control of the movement.
Should the "death squad" try to carry out its threats, it feared that the first attempt will be to cut all lines of communications.
Four bombs have been found in synagogues and in other Jewish property.
Meanwhile, a Government decree requires that all, who are unable to prove Rumanian identity, must take special identity cards. It is believed that those who are mainly affected by this decree are the Jews.—Reuter.
