Was it. the creepy legs of insects
that drew distinct map of Europe
with its war zones and suggestive fig
ures on the sooted ceiling Of the
humble home of Mr.. and Mrs. Natha-
iel Vice Of GAINESVILLE, Texas? Did the
wind, in a prankish mood, trace the
lines in the SCOT which are attracting
the attention of thousands? Was it
the canny fingers Of some soldiers
ghost that marked out the unusual
and compelling diagrams which
statesmen, ministers, soldiers, finan-
ciers and common people" have
talked of for the past several weeks?
Or is it just the plainest case of "the
handwriting on the wall' since Bel
chazzar read his fate?
These are the questions which are
concerning the people of GAINESVILLE
and all north Texas right now. What
ever caused the phenomena, the map
is there. Its outlines are distinct
and whatever forces contributed to
drawing it, worked day and night for
three weeks.
So plainly are the outlines Of the
countries Of Europe drawn in the

They say the manly head Of the
statesman on the west of the Rhine
represents the ideas and opinions Of
the leaders of the allied nations and
that the ugly, scaly, coiled serpent
across the Rhine is representation
of the present Bolshevik tendencies.
They declare the Handwriting on the
ceiling" means that unless the advice
of the allied leaders is strictly ad-
hered to, no matter how harsh it may
be, the head of the statesman will
disappear and be devoured by the
serpent.
This means, they declare, that the
allied nations in council at Paris must
take firm and decisive steps and
measures to crush Bolshevism now or
see the world dominated by it.
While this is the reading Of the
learned, the workmen have an opinion
of their own. They declare it is the
work of some soldier killed in battle,
some relative of Mr.. and Mrs. Vice,
who is telling them where he is
buried. To them the head of the man
west of the Rhine is where the dead
soldiers body rests and the coiled
serpent is the German, the cause of

believe the serpent is warning other
soldiers not to come further into Ger

fate of the one now trying to tell
where he is buried. ~.
So widespread has the story gone
and so pronounced are the lines and
indications that enterprising capital
lists have attempted to rent the home

consider such offers. They will keep

formerly resided in that country have
been able to locate their old home

pronounced it an exact reproduction
of the battle fronts. Clyde Denton,
who has been all over Europe, located
many cities that flourished before the
war. None of these warriors or map
specialists will offer suggestion as
to what unseen forces drew the map.
But it is not the outlines Of the
map which are attracting the most
attention or causing the most ami
mated conversation. What has
aroused the imagination of the people
of this section, Bible students, law
yers, warriors, and all, are two dis
tince figures which adorn the queerly
drawn map of Europe. These are the
head of a man and the profile of a
serpent, scaly and coiled.
On one side of the lines which
mark the boundaries of Germany at
present is the head of what appears
to be Woodrow Wilson. This is To-
cateed Just west of the Rhine. On
the other side of the Rhine is the
serpent, scaly, coiled and ready to
strike.
Those who profess to know the BIZ
BILE and interpret the phrophecies OF
the ahcients, declare that these two
striking figures are nothing more or
less than a warning to the world.
They do not say whether they were
traced there by ghostly fingers of SOL
diers who have been buried in fore;sI,
lands or by insects as they crawled
across the soted surface of the cell
ing. They are only concerned in in
terpreting the story which they claim
the map tells.

Following is the first direct dis
patch from Hungary to be received in
this country since the Bolshevik gov
ernment was set up at Budapest. 1t
effectually disposes of reports that
allied representatives have been mis-
treated. that Hungary has declared
war against the entente, and that
there has been bloodshed-United
Press)
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Budapest, March 25.-(1O:10 p. m.)
The Hungarian soviet republic was
firmly established today, without dis
order or bloodshed and with amicable
relations continuing with allied rep
rcsentatives.
All alien and allied soldiers are at
complete liberty. The popularity of
British and American officers has not
diminished.
Everything in the country has been
socialized, from the army down to
baths. This reorganization has been
accomplished with apparent approval
of the wealthy and aristocratic as
well as the poor and humble.
A Red army is being organized on
purely volunteer basis, conscription
being abolished rs soon as the COM
munist government took Office.
Soldiers are paid $50 month. They
are clothed. fed, and equipped with
ou. charge, and in addition they re-
ceive extra pay for support of their
families.
Army commanders are named by
the commissary of war, all ranks be-
ing eligible. Officers are picked pure
ly on their merits after careful ex-
animation Of their record.
Indications point to formation Of
tho largest, most contented army in
the history Of the country. Law
courts have been abolished and sup
piled by revolutionary tribunals, com
posed of chairman and two MEM
bers. They are virtually in continu-
Gus session and justice is meted out
rapidly and effectually. with more
consideration for real justice than
mero law.
Punishment is carried out immedi-
ately after sentence is pronounced.
The death penalty can BE pronounced
only by unanimous vote Of the tribu-
nal.
All Industries have been ordered to
continue at work. Special commit
tees are being formed to insure fair
distribution of the scanty supplies of
raw materials.
Requisitions from private families
arc forbidden.
Spreading of false news is severely
punished.
All titles and ranks are abolished.
Shopkeepers have been ordered to
prepare list of their stocks and
bank accounts.
This is merely for the information
of the government and no attempt
will be made to seize either. Steps
have been taken to substitute cash
for checks whenever possible.
The stock exchange has been or
dered to cease operations.
Public baths must be open to the
labor class and school children and
no charge will be made to them. All
private bath rooms likewise are at
their disposal on Saturdays.
Hungarian worlmen. meeting in va
rious parts of the country, have de-
clared their unanimous approval OF
the reforms instituted by the COM
munist government.

F,e,,u Death with . Belief IL the
Endless Life
The only son Of Harry Lauder fell
in battle on the French front, and
the poor father, whose mission was
to make the world laugh, felt that he
himself could never laugh again.
But after time Of bitter protest
light began to dawn, ushering in the
radiant day Of confident faith in
Gods providence and in the wisdom
Of His inscrutable ways The disaster
broke in blessing. Lauder now re-
solved to serve the cause for which
his son had died, and went to sing
for the boys in the trenches. In that
service he made discovery which he
records in his book. "A Minstrel In
France" from which the following
account Of that discovery is taken:
II found a belief among the soldiers
in France that was almost universal.
found it among all classes Of men
at tho front; among men who had,
before the war, been regularly relig-
ious, along well-ordered lines, and
among men who had lived just ac-
cording to their own lights. Before
the war, before the Hun went mad,
the young men Of Britain thought
little of death or what might come
after death. They were gay and care
less, living for today. Then war came,
and with it death, astride OF every
minute, every hour. And the young
men began to think Of spiritual
things and Of God.
Their faces, their departments, may
not have shown the change. But 1t
was in their hearts They would not
show It. Not they! But have talk
cd with hundreds Of men along the
front. And it is my conviction that
they believe, one and all, that II they
fall in battle they only pass on to an
other. And what comforting belief
that Is!
1T is that belief that makes ,as
