Hungary Now Bankrupt
OH, MAN!
[From the New York Times,


DIR. EIDE Palyi, in a recent article
in the Az Est of Budapest, entitled
Hopeless" makes some startling
revelations in regard to the state fl
nances of Hungary. Doctor Palyi is
not only a prominent Magyar politi-
cal economist, but he is an ardent
supporter of close economic relations
with Germany.
He leads up to the statement that
Hungary is insolvent by pointing out
that, while the productions of Hun
gary realized in the year before the
war $50 million dollars, the war had
cost the state up to March l bill
lions, and that an equal amount
would be necessary to liquidate ma
tional expenses at the close of the
war-if the end came soon. Hence,
while the whole national production
has never exceeded $50 millions, the
government will be called upon to
pay in interest alone 900 millions
This is, he says, why the Magyars re-
fused to entertain the last war loan,
the true figures of which have never
been published. He predicts "a re-
vealed catastrophe with tie floating
of the new war loan.
"If the wage earners," he declares,
were to pay so per cent. income tax
and the farmer so per cent. of their
produce in taxes, and the industrial
products were requisitioned entirely
even then the needs of the state
would not be covered. And if the
state were to seize the entire agri-
cultural products of the country aft
er the war from the producer, Is
million dollars would still be wanting
to cover the interest the state has to
pay on the war loans"

HHE little that leaks out of Ger
manN cnncarninD the WnrlS of


many concerning the work of
amending the Imperial Consti-
tuition is strongly suggestive of eX-
tIeme discomfort with the existing
political conditions.
Contented nations do not stop in
the middle of a bitterly contested
war to remedy flaws in their funda-
mental law. Questions of ratios of
representation and of. executive re-
sponsibility are not pressing at such
times as long as all goes well with
the armies. The position of a Chan
oellor defes attack as long as the
foe is on the run and the bulletins
from the battlefelds are uniformly
glorious. 1t is only when the mill
tary outlook is dark, the foe every
where advancing, the rolls of death
Growing longer, the list of victories
shrinking to nothing, and the people
at home feeling the pinch of hunger
that the politicians begin crying for
reforms in the executive offices.
For two or three weeks there has
been a concerted attack in the
Reichstag upon some of the Imperial
prerogatives. According to the
cables this has settled down to an
effort to modify the constitutional
clauses giving to the Kaiser unre-
stricted control of the army and
navy.
They form an entering wedge. Nc

Where angels listen. All, I know

Barefooted in the flowery grass

Above the silhouettes of morn;
And from their nest-sills finches

How is the morn so gay and fair
without his whistling in the air?

There is nothing that the Com

The extent of the farm movement
in Harrisburg and vicinity and
throughout Central Pennsylvania is
surprising many persons not familiar
with what has been going on during
the last few weeks. Great areas of
unused land are being cultivated and
the yield of vegetables is likely to be
much larger than originally antici-
pated by those who have been most
active in this campaign. Governor
Brumbaugh has consistently urged
activity in this direction and his sew
eral proclamations respecting plant
ing and seeding have had a whole
some effect upon those who had not
previously given serious consideration
to the subject.

DIR TREES

NOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH has
NJ urged strongly the planting of
native Pennsylvania trees in
the transformed Capitol Park and
this plan has been widely approved,
| especially his suggestion that mu-
inequalities and boroughs through
out the State each be requested to
supply tree to be named in honor
of the donor. 1t is proposed through
this plan to have York day, Ian
caster day, and days for all the other
towns and cities participating in this
will thus feel that they have a part
in the permanent treatment of the
Capitol Park zone.
There are still many great trees
in Pennsylvania, but most of the
monarchs Of the forest have fallen
in the great timber operations of
other years. 1t is said, however,
/ that there are still in the Cook
tract along the banks of the Clarion
river white pine trees towering 250
feet in height and more than $50
feet from the ground to the first
limb. There are also trees on this
tract said to have been standing
when Columbus discovered America.
Whether the State will ever take
title to this property remains to be
seen, but for years efforts have been
made to have it turned into a great
national park, as attractive as the
Yellowstone Park or the Redwood
trees of California.
The Cook forest comprises the
breeding place of much of the wild
life that inhabits Pennsylvania
mountains and it is said birds and
animals are seen there never obs
served elsewhere in the State.
