KAROLYI DEMANDS PEACE
Hungarian Leader Declares Country 4.
Entitled to Compensation.

London, Dec. IA sensation was
caused in the Hungarian Parliament on
December by the speech Of Count
Karolyi, leader of the independence
Party. demanding that the government
should make peace proposals to the
enemy powers, according to letter re-
ceived by the Morning Post" from
Budapest.
The correspondent gives extracts
from the verbatim report, according
to which Count Karolyi argued that
as Hungary has achieved everything
she wanted by the war, had saved the
country from invasion, and had pre-
served the monarchy and throne, her
allies could demand nothing further
from Hungary, who had given incon-
trovertible proof that it was her sons
that the Emperor and King had to
thank for the integrity of his empire.
Owing to the fact that it was the
Hungarian army that had brought the
war to its present stage" said Count
Karolyi. eve have perfect right 70

WIRELESS BRINGS
DEATH TO GIRL
Aerial of Amateur Plant Blows
Against Trolley Wire, Killing
Curious Housemaid.

Herbert Abrams's little back garret
wireless telegraph plant at 5is Fourth
Avenue, Astoria, was the scene yester-
day Of the first fatal accident directly
traceable to the city's amateur wireless
operators.
A sagging wire carried 3,4O0 volts Of
electricity from an electric feed wire to
the toy-like instrument in the garret,
and Mary Roskinsky, q servant, who
curIously fingered the key, received the
entire charge through her body, dying
instantly.
Abrams, who is eighteen years old,
left the house yesterday morning 70
work in his fathers store. Before 60
ing he had spent his usual hour in the
garret hoping. that he might pick
something up"
A few minutes after his departure
the Roskinsky girl was sent TO the room
10 try TO bring order out Of the mis-
cellany Of wires, books and tools. Then
Mrs. Abrams, in the lower part OF the
house, heard the noise of a falling
body.
She went TO the garret 70 investigate.
Lying in the wreckage Of the wireless
apparatus WAS tnS DOOy VI tllt stIf oil =
The right hand clutched the key Of the
machine, the left still clung TO the ra-
diator, TO which the wire had been
grounded. Deep brown burns in both
hands told the story of the accident.
Police were summoned and the origin
of the terrific charge Of electricity was
traced. The aerials were followed over
the roof of an adjoining house. a dis
tance of more than 100 feet. 0rigi-
nally they had been taut and well
away from the power wires Of the New
York and Queens Electric Company
ran below.
But the wind and sieet that played
havoc with greater plants than young
Abrams's did not overlook this one. 1t
Is believed that the weight of the sleet
caused the aerials to sag to such an ex-
tent that when blown by the wind they
ciung 70 the wires Of the electric com
pany. The maid is believed 70 have
touched the koy at the moment that
they were blown against the feed wire,
thus teceiving the fatal charge.
Police took charge Of the plant and
to-day will investigate its uses In an ef-
fort to learn whether the new regula-
tions governing such plants were being
violated.

IBy Telegraph to Tie rrieuns.l

Philadelphia, Dec. l6.-White but
tons, hitherto worn by men almost ex-
clusively on undergarments and shirts,
will soon be used by them on overcoats,
business suits and everywhere button
is usually worn. Either that or the
victims will wear none at all and de-
pend on safety pins or binder twine TO
hold their garments together.
This condition Is fast approaching,
according to one Of the largest ivory
button manufactures in tho country.
The recent embargo on logwood has in
tensifed an already critical situation
in the vegetable ivory button industry,
as the logwood dyes were the last hope
of the button makers in the dye short

ITALIAN FORCES

FLANK In SERBIA
as-r-
Germans, Threatened from
Albania, Plan Drive
Into Greece.

London, Dec l6.-There is more
hopeful feeling in London concerning
the Balkan operations, with the definite
announcement that the Italians have
effected a landing on the Albanian
coast and that the Anglo-French force,
which has fallen back toward Salonica,
has been strongly reinforced with men
and guns, including some heavy naval
weapons.
How large force the Italians will
send TO the assistance Of the Serbians
and Montenegrins is not stated, but,
from the fact that the official account
intimates that landings have been made
at more than one port, it is taken for
granted that an army Of considerable
proportions is TO be sent across the
Adriatic.
This. with the Montenegrins and Ser
bians who escaped into Albania, will be
a serious threat to the Central Powers
right flank, while they can never look
on in idleness az the concentration OF
an army at Salonica, which, at chosen
moment, would undertake an offensive,
and TO the gathering Of Russians in
Bessarabia.
