The Hungarian statesman believes
that the war should not only end be-
cause of what he regards as the futility
of further hostilities, but because of
his expressed conviction as to the men
ace of Russia. He declared that the
western states Of Europe must band
themselves together for defense against
Russia. which country he characterized
as the great menace to the future
peace of Europe and the world.
In his opinion Frances efforts to re-
gain A1sace- Lorraine are doomed TO
failure, anu the republic may as well
reconcile herself to peaceful and friend
ly relations with her eastern neighbors
He holds that Great Britain has made
an abortive effort to crush Germany as
a trade rival by appeal to arms, but
that there is nothing essential in the
chartcter of the three nations to pre-
vent their union as friends. In re-
spect to Russia, however, on the other
hand. Count Apponyi declared that the
organization of the country contains
the germs of war and that she is
compelled by the very essence of her
being to attempt to extend her domina-
tion at every opportunity over the ma
tions with which she is in contact.

HAVANA. November 1.-TWO weeks
after the presidential election in Cuba
the result is much in doubt as ever
1t is possible that the country will not
know whether President Menocal has been
reelected by the conservative party or
former Vice President Alfredo Zayas, the
liberal candidate, has triumphed. until
new elections are held in Victoria de Las
Tunas. Oriente province These elections
will not take place until February
The delay In receipt Of official figures
on the presidential election in the United
States has done much to calm excitement

ment was resorting to fraud to defeat
Zayas. II had been thought the official
count in the United States would be
known here by midnight on election day.

Senate resolution of May I6, 1916, lust

the departments, and would report to
the Senate at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
AS matter of human interest he
cited the fact that emphasis was laid
on the necessity for the correct age
being given, and said that the ages
given for the men corresponded very
generally with those previously give n
IN other records. but that the ages of
the women in many cases were report
ed from one to ten years older tina n

DR.. Llewellyn Jordan urged the join-

Congress the great neede for immediate q
action and the great benefit to be de
rived by the government from the en-
actment of an equitable retirement
law. On his suggestion a special com

though the coming session of Congress
was short one. certain indications

the care of the present superannuates

He stated that the present superannu-

ately and that the matter of caring for
those who may become superannuated
in the future might be approached a
little more deliberately.

retirement legislation in the near future
emphasis be laid on the abstract prin-
ciple of retirement and no particular
stress laid on concrete plans

Sees Years of Peace.

Once this war is finished, he said
Europe will probably have at least
twenty five or thirty years of peace.
until the generation which has passed
through this conflict has departed from
the stage. This should give time and
opportunity to n wise and far-seeing
diplomacy by which the western states
of Europe can arrange for protection
against the disturbing element in the
east"
Count Apponyi says that his views
are shared by all leading Hungarians
and with the possible exception of
certain Slavonic elements in Austria
are also held by the leaders in that
country.
