Is unmistakable. Its relation to Mr..
WILSON'S appeal Of Friday last will
be apparent to oil. Here is the prac-
teal use he is making. in one bril-
liantly illustrative case, of one Of the
new powers which he has asked and
obtained Of the Congress on the plea
Of war emergency.
The office Of Federal Inspector of
Explosives IL one which requires ex-
pert skill, demands technical knowl-
edge and special experience. In the
possession Of mere political hacks It
Is a menace and not safeguard.
When the attempt was made In Con-
gress to bring the office under civil
service rules and thus insure a proper
examination for fitness the attempt
was defeated on the ground that any
such restriction of the appointing
power would hamper the Executive
in his selection Of the right sort Of
men for the Job.
Rounding up President WILSON'S
appointees for the Office of Federal
Inspector of Explosives in the sew
eral States we get these totals:

gary from the war as early as 1915
The Independent party, Of which he
was the aggressive spokesman, was
not strong enough to carry this meas
ure. KARoLYI became. though, the
most vigorous opponent Of the Gov.
eminent in the prosecution Of Its
Teutonic war plans.
KABoLYI by no means stood alone
In his dissatisfaction with the Aus.
trian policy. Hungary was opposed
to the war from two very good req.
sons; she could not see how she was
to be a winner in any event, and she
saw In German success only the
strengthening Of Austria and her own
reduction to a secondary position In
the Dual Monarchy. The bitter
hatred Of the Austrian rule was given
vent in recent discussion of the
italian campaigns, In which Vienna
was openly charged In the Hungarian
Parliament with Intentionally sacri-
ficing Magyar soldiers on the Plave
front In order to deprive Hungary
Of an army for her own defence.
Hungary was held to her agreement
with Austria rs much through the
diplomacy Of Kaiser FRANCIS JOSEPH
as through the necessity Of protection
against enemies both within and with
out her kingdom. The old Emperor
made his residence part Of the year at
Budapest and showed a degree Of
favor to the sNong, dominant Mag
var party. The present Emperor has,
on the contrary, remained most of the
time at Vienna and has permitted him.
self TO be dominated by German influ-
ences. Russia, which might once have
been an enemy of Hungary, is no
longer to be feared as an aggressor
In place of this has arisen a new and
formidable power within the mon
archy itself In the Czecho. Slovaks
and the Jugo- Slavs.
These formerly oppressed races are,
through their union and their recogni-
ton by the Allied nations, factors that
will more effectively determine the
future of southern Europe than will
Austria. Hungary can recognize this
fact 1t was impressed upon her
few days ago when the Croatian regi-
ments at Fume. Hungary's only sea
port, revolted and took possession Of
the town in the name of the new
Czecho- Slovak State. 1t was futile
to oppose these races on one side
and the Italians on the other; It was
wiser, as Count KARoLYI announces,
ito cooperate with them. Hungary
thus cast of the dead weight Of the
Hapsburg dynasty with its medieval
ism, oppression and misrule, and the
Magyars again begin q separate and
independent rule in Europe.

Some months before this time Henry
Midgely had lost his position as book
keeper on account of the failure of the
firm for which he worked. They had
had no idea Of impending conditions
and were almost staggered by the
blow. The Midgelys had four growing
children and every month had lived up
to the salary. Mr.. Midgely had just
found another position. When Anne
wrote home she did not tell her family
Of their loss, and she bravely set her
self the task Of making up for the
months when debts had accumulated.
