APPONYI ATTACKS
BLUNDERS
Demands Guarantee That
Mistakes Shall Not Be
Repeated.

Budapest, Sept. 15.-The Hungarian
Parliament to-day was again the scene
of great excitement. Count Albert
Apponyi, stephan Rakovsky and other
leaders of the Opposition attacked
Premier Tisza, and the latter defended
himself by criticising them.
The session eliminated in the an
nouncement by Count Bella Sereny
that he was in symathy with the pro-
posals OF the Opposition, and there
fore he had withdrawn from the gov
eminent party.
Premier Tisza inserted q personal
issue into the discussion when he said
he regretted his "foolishness" in
recommending to Baron Burian, the
Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister,
that he confdentally discuss the state
of affairs with Rakovsky. The Premier
called the criticisms Of the army lead
ership by the head of the Peoples
party "well poisoning"
Count Apponyi declared that the
three chief questions needing discus
sion were the foreign policies, the
military situation and the food supply.
The harmony and unity needed fo-
considering these three problems,
Count Apponyi said, were endangered
by the introduction of other questions
such as Premier Tisza's attempt to
bind Hungary economically to its al
lies for a long period of time.
On the reopening Of the session, Ra-
kovsky aroused Premier Tisza by re-
peating what he had learned in his
conferences with Baron Burisn as
representative of the Opposition. and
he severely criticised the Foreign Of
fee leadership.

said There appears 20 be deliberate

New Trade Prohibition
Puzzles Local Shippers

Representatives in New York of the
Holland-Americ and other steamship
lines operating ships between American
and Dutch and scandinavian ports said
last night they could not understand
the meaning or intent of the new ship
ping regulations by Great Britain, as
outlined in the cable advices.
The only possible reason, some of the
steamship men said, that they could
advance was that the existing arrange
ments by which merchandise for Hol-
land is handled through the Neither
lands Overseas Trust have proved to be
unsatisfactory and that the rule
whereby assurances OF innocent des-
tination" must be obtained from Brit
ish authorities by all vessels before
they leave American ports was to be
applied.

as a serious development in the contro-

No report on the new order has come

ment officials, with informal inquiries
as 10 the purpose and scope Of the pro-
posal.
Officials expressed much concern over
the first report that the new order
would completely cut off trade with
Holland and seriously cripple that with
the Scandinavian countries. In some
quarters it was suggested that the
present was a particularly inopportune
time for promulgating such decree,
with Secretary Lansing studying IN
tricacies of the new legislation under
which the executive branch OF the gov
eminent is empowered 10 take drastic
retaliatory action against nations IN
terfering with American trade.
Later advices. however, saying that
only certain unnamed commodities
would be affected, led officials TO hope
that no farreaching restriction had
been attempted.

story TO the effect that the ministry OF

of Germany TO prevent the Bulgarian
occupation of Kavala, in confcrmance
with a written pledge of the Germans
and Bulgarians that Kavala, Drama and

The newspaper alleges that Count

possible to do anything, as the Bulgars
were determined to treat the Greeks
as undeclared enemies.
The German and Bulgarian legations
deny this story, but seemingly IT IS
generally believed and is adding fuel
TO the national feeling.
The British Legation to-day told a
representative OF the "Hestia' that the
British fleet undoubtedly did every
thing possible with a view to saving
the military and refugees fror. kavala.
They saved as many soldiers as desired

It is stated ahat all the forts near

extension of child welfare work to the
rural communities
DR.. Meigs is at the head of the
hygiene division of the Child Welfare

works under Miss Lathrop, head of
the child welfare department. She is
a graduate of Rush Medical school, an
Iowa girl who entered the govern

sort of experiment station for the trial
of new ideas which we are sure will
be successful. Kansas was the third
state in the Union to install a child
hygiene department. And Kansas was
one of the foremost states in taking
up the baby week campaign and max
our department at Washington, we
now have seventy people at work for
the child hygiene division alone. We
send out instructions on the care of
children, and we also collect mortality
statistics, try to find reasons for a
high death rate, and then suggest
remedies"
