 While the Hungarian rezdents of this city are vitaIly interested in the prospects of war; those in touch with the popr1ar sentiment of the people, declare that very few of the Hun- yarfan residents Of the city would re- spond to a call if issued by the Aus tris-Ia un sarien They expressed themselves doubtful whether there would be even a response for call for funds
 John Renchy, who is one Of the most prominent Hungarian residents of the city stated today. that although he is inrereseed in the outcome, he would not TO back to fight sWhiIe I would give funds to an effort to free Hungary, I would not support a war In which the dual nation is involved. 1 AS see it the trouble between Aus 1 tria Hungary and Servia is but a pawn in a larger game do. not en- NSr II Tff7 funds to such 9 war. The United l States ia now my home. and, should I they get in a war, I would gladly | give everything ' poasessed.s'
 Tn reply to qtIeEttOnE as to how the ! other Hungarian residents felt in re- gard to the matter, he said that his | opinion is held by the majority of | those with whom he has spoken. He believes that an appeal for either l men or volunteers would meet with f but little response from the Hun zarians here.
 Rev stephen F. Chernitzlxy, pastor | of the St stephen Hungarian R. e. | shurch. said that such an appeal | would meet with but little success in \ his city.

 As one put it, why should we sod ,aclS2 We make our living here. We f io not have to bow to any oppres-. iors we are residents and citizens # the greatest country in the world l low. NO, I. myself. would not give lnything
 This was the general sentiment yherever they were asked, and from among the factory worker put few If any would go back to war. The Hungartans are a home bovine people. and while still interest in the affairs of the old country take naoreSE interest in the affairs of their adopted country.
