Boy Hours in River
Reformatory Inmate Makes I'm.
successful Effort for Freedom

For four hours after his escape from
the Randall Island reformatory last
night Chester de Jewski, seventeen
years old, battled with the currents of
the East River in a desperate effort
to fight his way across to freedom so
that he might see his mother, who is
dying in Schenectady.
The boy swan until his strength
gave out, and then, clinging to a log
drifted about in the cross currents OF
the river, until early this morning
Patrolman John Eisele heard him
shouting, off the foot of East 132d
Street. The policeman put out in a
skiff and rescued de Jewski, who was
completely exhausted.
The lad was taken to the Alexander
Avenue station. He said he received
letter Saturday from relatives up
state telling him that his mother was
dying in a Schenectady hospital. Keep
ers from the rcformatory took him
back to the island.

Budapest Ciues the Text Of

Demand of CLemenceau

PARIS, June 15.-The reply of Bella
Kun, the Foreign Minister of the Hun
garian Soviet government, to the
message of Premier Clemenceau. as
president of the peace conference, de-
manding that Hungarian forces cease
their advance against the Czecho-Slo-
walks, was, according to a. Budapest
dispatch by the way of Basel, trans
mitted through the Hungarian minister
at Vienna. The message is quoted as
follows:
"The government of the Hungarian
republic of Soviets learns with ioy of
the intention of the Allied and asso-
ciated powers to invite Hungary to the
peace conference. The Hungarian gov
crnment has not the slightest hostile
intention against any people on earth.
1t desires to live in friendship and
peace with all. Inasmuch as it does
not take its stand on territorial integ-
rity, it had no intention to attack the
CzechoSlovak republic, and has not at
tackled it. The Hungarian government
has always strictly adhered to the line
Of demarcation fixed by the Allies and
has observed the clauses of the mill
tary convention framed on November
13, 1910"

Scourge of Tuberculosis
Menaces South Europe
Must Send Physicians at Once.
Says Col. Homer Folks,
Of New York
Special Correspondent,

Special Cores ponde,,ce
ATLANTIC CITY, June 15.-Ameri-
can doctors and public health experts
must be sent into the devastated dis
tricts of Southern Europe at once to
battle with disease which, if not gotten
under control soon, may develop into
waves of pestilence which would soon
imperil the world, Lieutenant Colonel
Homer Folks, of New York, warned to-
night in addressing the annual conven-
tion of the National tuberculosis AS
sociation. Colonel Folks, who is secre-
tary of the State Charities Aid Asso-
citation, has just completed an intensive
survey Of health conditions in the Bal
kan countries for the American Red
Cross.
Among the human costs of the war
must be put down great increase in
tuberculosis in Europe" Colonel Folks
said
of all the costs of the war could be
assessed against Germany she would
have to stand responsible both for hav-
ing disrupted many promising anti
tuberculosis movements and for hav-
ing caused the creation of conditions
tremendously increasing the volume of
tuberculosis"
Colonel Folks said that one in six
deaths in Greece was recorded from
tuberculosis, and other statistics were
equally as shocking.

Sanguinary Fighting Marks
Campaign and No Quar-

Foe by Either Side
Slovak Army Reinforced
Martial Law Proclaimed to
Prevent Trouble in Prague
at Elections Next Sunday

PRAGUE, June Is (By The Associ-
ated Press. - Czecho-Slovak efforts
against the Hungarian Soviet troops
are beginning to take effect. The
Hungarians appear to be halted, al
though much sanguinary fighting is
going on, no quarter being given by
either side. The Czech losses were
severe last week, often only twenty
men remaining from single companies
Large numbers of soldiers returning
from Russia and also from the Italian
front have joined the Czecho- -Slovak
army and are improving the situation.
The fact that the rioting in Prague
fortnight ago concidcd with the
offensive of the Soviet army leaves
little doubt that the disorders here werc
que to the Bolsheviki Martial law has
been proclaimed to prevent further
for seats in Parliament to be held on
Sunday. Eight parties have candidates
in the field.
Among the reforms agitated in the
campaign is one favoring the sending
of delegation to Rome to ask that
the rites of the Catholic Church in
Czecho- o-Slovakia be performed in the
C1ech language instead of Latin, and
that priests be permitted to marry.
BERNIE, June 15.-Rumanan forces
on the Dniester River have been at
tackled by the Bolsheviki, detach-
ment of the latter succeeding in cross
ire the river, but being virtually an
rihilated on the right bank. Its losses
are reported to be 200 killed and hum
creds of wounded and prisoners, ac-
con ding to a statement issued here by

Romance Weaved
In Cattle Brands

different from that of other ranchmen
else the brand would fail of it's pur-
pose. So In the latter days the letters
were finally all taken up and the neces-
sity for individual and unique brands
has led to many a strange device.
Many Novel Design.
For example, there is TIE "Spur"
ranch, the TURK Track" ranch, the
"Tumbling X" of the Lazy X" Every
ranch has its principal brand, and
some have many others. Ranch own
ers, who trade extensively, and are
constantly acquiring cattle with differ
ent brands, have number of insignias
on record Often the ranchmen's sons
and daughters have their special
brands and the dedication Of a new
brand Is not an unusual form of cele-
brating sirth on the range.
Among the peculiar brands is pig
pen, which means square with it's
sides extending to form the exterior
angles. Crescents are common. Only
one ranchman has q Ratchet for a
brand
A bow and arrow gives a name to
one big Texas ranch. l.. J. Kimber-
Inns ranch had crutch on the hip
and coffee pot on the side. The
coffee pot design is not so intricate as
one might imagine. consisting Of only
eight lines.
Wine glasses are not uncommon as
brand and the J. w. Friend Cattle
company in Crotchett county had q
gourd. A rocking chair is the brand
Of the HI. B. Opp ranch in Sutton and
Menard counties.
Lee Brothers had for their brand the
graceful fieur de lis. Anchors are
common. but only the John W. Franks
ranch in the Usage reservation boasts
of the Swastika.
A hash knife, a hat, the Masonic
square, key, a turkey track, bell
crossed walking sticks, an hour glass
a tree, boot, a slipper, flag, an
apple, a flower, ladders, rakes, spades
fence, a doll baby. a cotton hook, q
fishhook, bottle, bride bits, frying
pan, pitchfork and even comet may
be seen among the long list of brands
