matte description of the assassi.
nation of Count Steven Tisza,
former premier of Hungary, last
week. At 6 O'Clock in the even.
ing three soldiers invaded Count
Tisza's residence and presented
themselves in the drawing room.
Count Tisza, with his wife and
the Countess Almassy, advanced
to meet the intruders, asking
what they wanted.
What have you in your
hand?" a soldier demanded of
Tisza.
Tisza replied that he held a
revolver. The soldier told him
to put it away, but Tisza replied:
Il shall not, because you have
not laid aside your rifles"
The soldiers then requested the
women to leave the room, but
they declined to do so. A soldier
then addressed Tisza as follows:
You are responsible for the
destruction Of millions of people,
because you caused the war;"
Then, raising their rifles, the
soldiers shouted: :.
The hour of reckoning has
come"
The soldiers fired three. shots
and Tisza fell. His last words
were, Il am dying. 1t had to

The soldiers quit the house, ac-
companied by guards who pre-
viously were employed to guard
the door.

My dear Mr.. Goodwin Since the
United War Work Campaign is over,
and Louisiana has again gone lover the
top" permit us to thank you for the
valuable assistance you and your paper
contributed.
While results were not as great as
We had hoped for, nor the cause deserv-
ed, it was not because of lack of CO.
operation of the newspapers.
AS newspapermen we realize that
newspapers are expected to contribute
more of their talent and stock in trade
that any other business class, and we
are rather proud that always the news
papers have proved their patriotism by
meeting every call.
We feel that but for the aid of the
papers, the United War Work agencies
would not have secured the funds rais-
ed and so badly needed to give cheer,
some comfort and protection from evil
to our boys.
Your help is appreciated and we
want you to know it.
Cordially yours,

exemptions will be made except
through the national office at wash

The good that was accomplished by
tho recent enforced shutdown was to

curtalled to an almost disastrous ex-
tent. II was reported yesterday that

would have partially relieved the hard
