GERMANY is MORE ABLE
TO SOLVE FOOD PROBLEM
Hungary Forced to Pay High Prices,

understandable.
PREMIER EXPLAINS POSITION
Denies That He Has Favored Pro-
ducers as Against Consumers, and
Says Government Is Paying Heed
to Various Difficulties of People.

BUDAPEST. December o5.-An In
tercsting review of HunGary's economic
position during the present war was
given to-day by Count stephan Tiszn.
the Prime Minister. before n meeting
OF members OF the hungarian Diet who
have been formed into a committee that

speaking of references made to the
satisfactory economic position OF Ger
many, said. among other things:
1t is not my intention to doubt Mt
all that conditions in Germany are not
so bad with us. Germany has NO,
organizations to prevent this. but IL is
a'so on so nigh Il social plane that the
solution or a question like this becomes
much easier. We must also take into
consideration that In Germany liyirc
is cheaper than here. even in times of
peace. Germany. for instance, has so
greatly developed her Kitchen garden
ing that now she has been able TO
meet many wants with its products
But il we keep in mind the difference
in the cost of living in GERMANY and
hungary, as ii exists in times of pcoce

DENIES FAN0RING PRODUCER
AS AGAINST CONSUMER
Count TisZa denied that he had fla
vorcd the producer ms against the con
sumner Ii suck state of affairs cx-
listed. then he was not TO blame he
said. 1t was known that the agrarians
had never loved him. and every effort
had been made by him to guard against
the reproach that he favored one class
at the expense OF another. Nothing
that the Hungarian government could
lave done would have resulted i'm
bringing more food aud other necessi-
ties into Hungary iron, neutral coun-
tries. said the Prime Minister An.
carrier suspension OF import duties
would not have helped. because Hum
yarian importers had been willing 10
pay this duty themselves, and meat
could not bd brought from neutral
countries hf T,se the enemy was pro-
ceeding agiffst neutral shipping in
the most mercilcss fashion and was
now regulating the quantities of food
that could be imported by such neutral
countries from which hungary in her
turn would obtain supplies
The application OF maximum prices
had been made too late, said Count
Tisza. But for this two good reasons
could he given. In the first place last
years crop had been ovcrcstimatcd
so that final returns showed Il shortage
Secondly. the government had been lis.
inclined TO NEEDLE with economic ar.
fairs OF the country.

GOLF NOTES.

Sentiment in favor OF holding a team
contest between ten players from the
West against Il like number from the
East at the Detroit Country Club on the
Saturday prior 10 the national amateur
championship is SO strong that it is pos
sible the L. s. c. A executive may be
asked to call off the American Golfer
who favor the intersectional team con-
test that the L. S. G. A. should not allow
a contest for a magazine trophy to stand
in the way of one entirely devoid of COM
merCiaiism. The problem to settle before
the teams are picked, should the contest
be played. would be to fix geographical
status of Pittsburg so that the selection
of w. c. Fownes, jr., and E. NJ. Byers
could be determined. as both East and
West have equal claims on these two
noted Pittsburgh golfers. Fownes has
been a director of the Western Golf AS
ISOLATION, while Byers has been on the L.
S. G. A. board; the latter though does not
fix his status as an Fastener. as West

"Cobble Valley Golf Yarns and Other
Sketches is the title of an imposing
new volume by A. W. Tillinghast, of
Philadelphia. widely known as a golf ex-
pert, whose newspaper discussions have
done much to bring the game to the at
tention of Americans. Mr.. Tillinghast has
been a voluminous contributor to Ameri-
can and English journals on the subject
of golf. and this volume of his enter
tanning stories will be warmly welcomed.
There are nineteen stories in this collec-
ton. and all are marked by the joyous
nf he he
thor's wide experience not only with golf,
but with human nature.
Cobble Valley is a mythical valley,
somewhere nesting among the hills of
everywhere" but the reader will not be
exacting as to the location any more
than he Is exacting about the location of
the mythical kingdoms Of the romancers
The reader will be more concerned with
the matter in the stories, wonderfully
gripping vignettes that show the idiosyn-
crasies of some men and the abundant
good nature of others.
1t must not be assumed that Mr. I'll
linghast's stories are Of interest only to
golf players. They are for all people
men and women-for those who under
stand golf and those who do not. All are
written IN . blithesome manner and the
humor is always engaging. The CONVEX
sation Is spontaneous, the situations are
developed naturally and all the charac-
tiers seem real and vital. Mr.. Tillinghast
has achieved a distinctive literary tri-
umph In these stories
There Is q glowing little story Of an
escaped patient from 4 sanitarium who
taught a man how to play golf. the pupil
being unaware that his teacher was men,
tally unbalanced. The pupil. seeing the
man led away. again experienced the
delicious thrill of that one hall he hsd
hit." and measuring Its flight as 1877 steps,
he looked at the distant teeing ground
and muttered: well. he wasn't such a
rotten teacher at that!
