Autonomy in Hungary Is
Predicted by Count Tisza
as Peace Result
Parts of Galicia Are
Promised to Poland
Vienna Attempts to Prove
Truce Overtures Follow
Former Programme

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 7.-Count Tisza,
the former Premier of Hungary,
speaking at the reform congress at
Budapest, is quoted by the Berlin
"Vossischc Eeitung" correspondent at
the Hungarian capital as saying that
autonomy, so far as possible. would be
granted to the various nationalitics
living in Hungary. that Austrian ter
ritory occupied by Italy would go to
Italy and that parts of Galica would
be annexed by new Poland.
Count Tisza is reported by the cor
respondent to have said:
"Bulgaria's treachery and the situa-
ton on the Western front led US to
decide, together with Germany, to un-
dertake these peace steps. We have
sent note to President Wilson an
nouncing our acceptance of his four
teen points.
I'VE will try, so far as possible. to
grant autonomy to nationalities living
in Hungary. Austrian territory won
by Italy shall fall to Italy and parts
of Galicia shall fall to new Poland"
Count Tisza added that steps had
been taken to guard against surprise
on the Rumanian front.
An elucidation of the peace offer Of
the Central Powers is published by
Vienna newspapers. The article, which
IS explained as emanating from "well
Informed circles" reads as follows:
ut is first to be emphasized that
this step by Austria Hungary. Turkey
and Germany is not to be regarded as
decision taken suddenly under the
stress of military events
1T constitutes, rather, in the history
of our peace policy the last link in the
chain of logical and continual evolu-
tion. regard being paid at the same
time to the latest internal political de-
velopments in Germany
Burian Started Drive
LAS is known. the point of departure
OF our peace policy was Baron Burian's
note Of December, 1916. The step then
Iaken was OF very vague character.
The conditions We're not described, but
only indicated in broad outlines.
"1n the course of the development
the conditions have become crystal
lized. During February, March and
April expressions regarding a general
and just peace without annexations or
compensation came into currency.
Subsequently the idea of establish
ing an international court of arbitra-
ton and a reduction of armament was
discussed and, further, the principal
of freedom of the seas was proclaimed,
and, finally, the principle was set forth
that economic wars and economic op-
preston after the war must be pre-
vented. Out of these guiding prin-
ciples arose the present peace pro
gramme.

RIVALS THE HUMAN FLY
The Mountain Sheep Climbs Where
No Hunter Would Dare Venture

Of all American animals, Bighorn
Mountain Sheep is one of the most
remarkable Not only is he remark
able in his ability to live, and live
we'll, in an environment where it
would seem that no animal of such
size could possibly sustain life.
There, on the roof Of the world, he
not only sustains life, but, winter or
summer, appears to be fat and in the
best of condition.
In America there are six species
of Mountain Sheep. The largest and
best known is the truly magnificent
Bighorn, also called Rocky Mountain
Sheep. Once. abundant in the Rock
les, from Mexico to British Columbia,
it is now found only in small scatter
ed bands This is due to mans per-
sistent hunting. 1t is now protected
for term of years in some States,
and is slowly increasing in numbers.
Bighorn is of gray-brown color,
with a white or cream-yellow patch
on the hind quarters. A big ram will
weigh 300 pounds. The female is
smaller Both male and female have
horns, while those of the ram are
immense and curve back and around
until sometimes they form almost a
complete circle.
The Bighorn lives in the most mac
cessible places among the towering
crags of the Rocky Mountains, and
travels with ease places in which, it
would seem, no creature lacking
wings could possibly get about 1t
bounds down precipices which APP
pear to the onlooker to offer no foot
hold, and its safe arrival at the bot
tom seems little less than miracle.
It scales cliffs which the hunter dares
not attempt.-From The Peoples

THE LANCASTER FAIR
Plenty of Attractions and Coco
Races

Next Tuesday, the gates will be
opened on the 18th annual fair of the
Coos and Essex Agricultural Society
to be held in Lancaster. The record
of the society in the past has been
one to inspire confidence and this year
the policy of expansion will be fol-
lowed by the same board of directors
who have been in change for many
years. In Floral Hall, the Bailey
Music Co., will be a feature as usu-
al, and the Boys and Girls clubs
have been assigned large space for
their exhibits. The merchants and
manufacturers have booths in Ex-
hibition Hall and on either side are
vegetables, dairy products and fancy
work. There will be races Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday.
The purses aggregate $500. On
Wednesday and Thursday there will
be a parade of prize winning animals,
one of the best features of the fair.
Prof. Gates will give balloon ascen-
sions each day with double and triple
parachute drops. Trick bicycle and
fancy riding, and mid-air performance
es are promised. Nevers' End Regi-
ment Band of Concord, under the dir
ection of Arthur F. Nevers, promises
to be one of the most popular feat
ures of the fair. For four years these
musicians have been the big feature
of the Lancaster Fair and they play
almost continuously as its repertoire
is apparently unlimited. There will
be no increase in admission fee and
no war tax.
