publican majorities will, Of course,
support the war, but certainly no more
vigorously than democratic majorities.
Hostile political majorities obviously
would not conduct as effectively to
the easy and orderly administration
of war tasks as would sympathetic
majorities. When peace comes it will
be scarcely less vital to have leader

Ex-Premier Killed.
Count Tisza. the former Hungarian
premier, has been killed by a soldier,
according to a Budapest telegram.
The count fell victim to a revolver
shot while he was out walking
ended by assassination, has long been
one of the storm centers OF Hungarian
politics. 1t has been charged that
Count Tisza was one Of the four men
responsible for the war and the ac-
cusation has been made that he in
stigated the assassination Of Arch
duke Ferdinand.
A Magyar and Hungarian to the
core, Count Tisza was pro-German and
aimed constantly at the supremacy
of Hungary over Austria within the
dual monarchy. He was born in 1861,
the youngest son of Kalman Tisza, a
leading Hungarian statesman who
gave Hungary a consolidated govern
ment.
Count Tisza was twice premier Of
Hungary, from 1908 to 1905 and from
June 6. 1913 to May %, 1917. He was
the center of many riotous scenes in
the Hungarian parliament during his
leadership and in 1913 fought at least
three duels with political opponents.
In January of that year he wounded
Count Michael karolyi. life long
and bitter opponent, in duel at Buda-
pest. Up to his retirement from the
premiership he was opposed to pac-
fists in Hungary.
Within the last year, however, he
has urged peace and in speech. Oct.
10, declared he no longer had hopes
for an Austro-German victory.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
to assassinate Count Tisza in Buda-
pest, Oct. II. His assailant at that
time was arrested.
The organization of the new Czecho-
Slovak state is proceeding in an or
derly manner, according to reports
from Prague received here by way OF
Berlin. The national council appoint

officials. There have ben no especial

LAND ON WHICH
YANKS met HUNS
DESOL ate RUIN
Mutilated Ground Shows Bit
terness of Action-Roads
Wrecked Beyond Repair.
(By Associated Press)

WITH THE AMERICAN TROOPS
IN FRANCE, Nov. NOTHING attests
more completely the bitterness with
which the Germans have opposed the
American advance everywhere in
France, than the utter completeness
with which the terrain over which the
two have fought has been destroyed,
desolated, churned up shell fire, mutt
lated beyond any immediate hope of
restoration.
This was true even in portions of
the, st. Mihiel salient, for notwith-
standing that the Germans fairly ran
across to their famous Hindenburg
line, they did hold along the western
edge of the sector and by the time the
Americans had been able to make it,
great mines had torn the roads and
fields asunder. the roads had been
wrecked beyond repair by intentional
enemy agencies as well as by Ameri.
can artillery. What was left of the
buildings and dugouts once Inhabited
by the Germans had been blown UP
and smashed and crushed to a tangled
mass Of wreckage.
1t is in the center of the line be-
tween the Meuse river and the Ar
gonne forest, however. where the bit
ter fighting has been bitterest, that
the destruction is most complete,
where every handiwork of God and
man has been desecrated as one could
not believe without seeing, could be
destroyed Flanders may be worse, as
the English claim, but 1t is doubtful.
because there was not as much there
to destroy. to blast and to wither.
The only comparison, perhaps, is in
the fertile Champagne, where more
than four years OF attack and counter
attacks, bombardment and counter
bombardment, have reduced every
dwelling and building to series of
craters and have bitten every forest
and clump to forlorn stumps minus
branches or leaves.
