The Slav press bureau in the United States asserted that the resignation of Count Tisza as premier of Hungary was intended to deceive the allies into thinking that the central powers were desirous of peace. The statement went on to say that a Magyar successor would be favorable to the allies, but in reality would support Tisza's war policies.
 It was also asserted that the two Magyar factions, represented on one side by Tisza and on the other by Andrassy, Karolyi and Apponyi, were united in their purpose to maintain tho Magyar hegemony in Hungary. The war was favored by both parties because of the opportunity 1t gave to subjugate the non-Magyar majority In Hungary. The upper man in the pie lures Is Count :Karolyi and tho lower is Count Apponyi. Both have, visited the United States and; are leading statesmen of Hungary.

SOLDIERS ARE FINED

Company E Men, Arrested Alter Quar- rel With Police xt Parkville, Face
 Hartford Police Court Judge.
 Seven Company E soldiers, doing duty at the Parkville outpoAts. were fined by Judge Edward L. Steele in inc Hartford police court yesterday morn- ing. Before judgment was passed Judge Steele had 2. private conference with Col. Richard J. Goodman, con9- manding the First Regiment, and with Lieut.. Ashley J. Grinln, commanding Company B.
 The fines resulted from the escapade at Parkville several days ago in which the soldiers were alleged to have had difference of opinion with the police as to who was boss. It was alleged that members of the de- tail drew revolvers and threatened to shoot the policemen for interfering and that 1t required more influence than that yielded by the judge to get them into court. It was likewise d. leged that some of the soldiers had said: .'To hell with the police, the court and the judge.''
 On charges of resistance Sherman Taylor was lined $5 without costs: Henry F. Gardner was lined $40 with out costs: William Grabeck was fined $15 without costs; while Aldert Jen- ninga. Thomas Bowling. George Scar let and Albert Adams were each fined $1O and costs. All of tho soldiers were placed on probation and the amount of their fines will be deducted from their next months pay. to be collected by Lieut.. Grif1n.
 In passing sentence, Judge Steele reminded the soldiers that the uni- form of the United States soldier they wear imposes on them greater respon- abilities. rather than giving them special freedom to cut up capers. He reminded them also that even though they arc soldiers they are not free from the restraints of civil law and will be held to . strict accountability be- fore the bar of justice.

After your great stroke for liberty
in 1776 you formed a society which
you called the Order of the Cincinnati
to indicate that when war was finished
you knew how to beat your swords
into .plowshares and now when war
has been forced upon you, you have
given proof that you know equally wei,
how to turn your plowshares into
swords.
Some twenty years ago Prince AL
bert OF Belgium, heir to a throne
which seemed to be safely sheltered
from the blast of war, came to Amer
lea where he studied with the Deep
est interest your marvellous country
and the wonderful works of industry
and commerce which you had devel-
Oped in the quietude of peace. And
now how "a | express the sentiments
which fill his heroic soul when, fight.
ing at the head of his troops in the
last trench on Belgian soil, he sees
the sons of that same Industrious
America land upon the coast of Eu-
rope, brave champions of the most no
BILE principles and ready to lay down
their lives in defense of right and JUS
tice.
On a certain occasion a mighty SOW
ereign declared:
"'The Pyrenees exist no more and
today we can say with even more
truth, There is no longer any ocean,
for endless friendship, cemented by
gratitude and joint effort and suffer-
ing in the cause Of justice and lib
erty, will forever obliterate the bar
rier of the seas and unite the children
of old Belgium to the sons Of the
young and powerful republic of the
new world"
