Washington, July 3l.-Problems in

when the war began, but he reached
budapest finally, after being interncd

Among other things, in explaining
his rupture with his old political in
Inmates and his plan for democracy,
he said:
Comes After United States.
Il came to appreciate the great
value OF democracy when was in
the united States. There saw the
way in which Hungarians who had
emlgrated from their iatherland, and
who here merely vegctated without
any of the real rights of citizenship,
became valuable citizens, and | saw
to what position of opulence they had
brought themselves. A democratic
reorganization of Hungary, the basis
of which is the general right to vote,
is a burning necessity for Hungary.
Unfortunately discovered in one
wing of the party none of the inspira-

sire necessary for the creation of the

karolyi came into political life as
the heir of his uncle, Count Alexander
Karolyi, for years leader of the ultra
conservative High Agrarians." He
was elected to his uncle's former place
as president of this group-and then
split hopelessly with the members
over the high protective duties that
had shut out the Balkan states. He
resigned, disassociated himself with
the agrarians, joined the independents

Long before the war he claims to

preventive measure against it he
urged that Hungary secure in France
and Russia the capital she had for
years been unable to get in Germany,
and by making the loans there place
France and Russia in position of not
wanting to go to war with a country
indebted to them.
When the war did come he attacked
Count Tisza and his party savagely,

AMERICA A BEAUTIFUL LAND
Scenic Marvels in Primitive Garb
Unsurpassed Anywhere in
the World.

America is slowly awakening to the
value of tremendous asset. 1t is an
asset of surprising beauty as well as
of unlimited financial possibilities.
For many years Switzerland, with its
mountains, lakes and valleys, has
served as the playground of the old
world. Between the Atlantic and the
Pacific we have twenty Switzerlands.
Part of this heritage of beauty lies
within sight of the skyscrapers of
New York. The Palisades can be
reached in half an hour from the
ferry house at West One Hundred
and Thirtieth street The most remote
of Americas SWitzerlands-Mount
Rainier, in the state Of Washington

wide variety, the surprising grandeur
and the inspiring power of the mas

about the continent in the mighty up
heavals of its birth pangs. They sur

visiting in New York just before the
war spoke to his host with cnthusi-
asm of the beauty of the Rhine banks.
Have you seen the Palisades?" asked
the host. 81 have not" answered the
German professor. After the visitor
had been taken up the river in yacht
by his host, he said in an awed voice:
81 shall never speak again of the
Rhine--in America"
America and the world have agreed
upon Niagara as the father of water
falls. 1t is a well-deserved distinc-
ton. With the possible exception of
Victoria Falls, on the Nyanza, Niagara
is the most spectacular demonstra-
ton OF falling waters in the world.
But we have in America other water
falls that dwarf the Niagara. The
Great Falls of the Yellowstone, a part
of the national park system, is twice
as high as Niagara. The Yosemite
Upper Fall, in the Yosemite National
park, tumbles roaring down cliff
nine times as high as Niagara. And
the settings which time and nature
have provided for these gigantic cat
aracts are of surprising beauty that

Winnipeg Waits and Then Applauds
San Carlo Opera Company in Aida

Winnipeg, Canada, Forty degrees

principals, chorus, orchestra and man
ayers composing the San Carlo Opera
company breezed into town.
A general scramble for the various
hotels, enough coughing and sneezing
to make one believe that the radiators
in a high school assembly hall had
been doped with sneezing powders.
Chorus girls complaining in broken
English and Italian; Impresario Gallo,
while slapping his hands to keep them
from freezing, doing his best to pacify
various song birds, male and female,
into a condition where it would be
possible for them to put on the great
est production in their repertoire,
namely. Aida" at the Walker theater.
Packed house waiting three quar-
tiers of all hour for the orchestra to
tune up. You can imagine the storm
of applause that enthused this other
wise unenthusiastic company and this
is in part what the Manitoba Free
Press said about them the next morn
ing:
Probably in no other presentation
of grand opera in this city has a
greater degree of uniform excellence
been attained than in the performance
of Verdis Aida given at the Walker
theater last evening by the San Carlo
Grand Opera company before an au-
dience of capacity size.
Those who are fortunate enough
to hear the work of the San Carlo
company on this occasion must have
come to the conclusion that here was
an organization capable in every way
of producing grand opera on a scale
of uniform excellence even in the
face of certain uncomfortable OBJ
stacles. When one keeps in view the
fact that the members of the cast and
chorus last night carried out their
work after arriving in Winnipeg at 5
o'clock on Monday night, the wonder
is that the performance went on
smoothly and well as it did.
Reviewing the performance, one is
constrained to offer warm common
dation to the company for its effec-
tive work. Mary Kaestner, gifted
American girl, in the title role of Aida,
courted the admiration of her auditors
by virtue of broad and singularly
compelling delineation of the slave.
She is endowed with voice of haunt
ing beauty, which, in dramatic mo-
ments, she utilizes to capital effect.
Miss Kaestner sang with sheer lowell
ness of tone, artistic fnesse and fine
conception of distinctive style. She
received genuine ovation"

torium with Aida" on Thursday,
