NOT LIKE OLD TIMES.

The fact that The Times-Recorder has just
paid out ST. l.29 for one carload of paper on
which to print the daily and weekly editions of
The Times-Recorder for the next few months,
causes the business manager, who must keep the
cash coming in, to take more than passing interest
in the following from the Albany Herald recalling
the days when it cost less than half the present out

small: --. #AD '4@a<s aas 1@7 9SVN 5zEsaE

The parity between a load of wood and years
subscription to a weekly newspaper no longer
exists Whereas time was when a load of wood
for years subscription to the local paper was
considered fair exchange, it now requires about
three yearly subscriptions to pay for a load of
wood. And so it is with other commodities. Ev.
erything has advanced more than the subscrp-
ton price of newspapers. The old fashioned
subscriber may be still bringing in his load of
wood, but he sells it for cash and then with one
third the proceeds pays the publisher for his
paper.

Fiction with the code.
The question where the bills and

ana where they do not conflict, but

Bunch of Students Upset Few Policemen, Hoisted
the Flag of the Republic, and 1t Was
All Done Overnight

by Vienna dispatch to the Prague
newspaper "Venkov," reprinted in "Pesti
Naplo." Accordingly, on the eve of the
Magyar revolution the Archduke Fred
erick sent the following letter to King
Charles:
Everything can be saved yet You must
order the troops to shoot down every
damned republican. You must employ my
methods. There are still loyal troops left
who will, on your command, restore order
We have to terrorize the people; if we get
scared We'll lose everything If you do as
| advise you, we can still save the throne,
the dynasty, the empire. But we have to act
ruthlessly and without delay"
Fortunately, this letter was captured
by Magyar officers who supported the
revolution, and bloodshed was avoided.
One of the most important parts in
the Magyar revolt was played by the
Minister of War Of the Karolyi Cabinet,
Lieutenant Colonel Adalbert Under.
This young officer was, at the beginning
of the war, captain in the artillery, and
was later promoted for gallantry at the
front to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
An interesting account of him is given
by his friend, Charles Hubay, young
Hungarian business man now residing
in New York. He says:
II met Captain Under about seven or
eight years ago at the house of my aunt,
the Countess c. He was gay and verv
clever man, with a cosmopolitan education
and extremely liberal views. We became
friends and he conided to me that he
heartily despised his profession.
II was at the time serving my year in
another artillery regiment. One day l told
Captain Under that liked military life and
intended to apply for commission.
Don't be fool, the captain said 'The
military profession is the rottenest in the
world. In peace time we are paid for loaf
ing around, and in war for numbering people
whom we never met and who never harmed
us in any way. If had son I'd rather
kill him than consent to his choosing the
army for trade"
1t is no accident that this convinced
anti-militarist became the military leader
of Hungary at moment when the ter
rible disaster into which it's alliance with
Prussian militarism precipitated the
country was for the first time fully
realized by the Magyar people

And when, less than a month after
forming his government, he introduced

establishing universal equal suffrage

ne theoretically repealed the imputa-
ton that he would lend hand to low
ering the position of the Crown. He
had been monarchist throughout his
life, he cried, and he would die mon
archist. Yet, when at the end of Sem
TENDER he went to the Great Army
Headquarters to lay his resignation in
the hands of the Kaiser, he was COM
pelled-again by force Of political cir
cumstances to advise him to make a
formal surrender of his imperial pow
ers to the Reichstag. It was under
Hertllng's advice, as was generally un-
derstood in Germany, that Wilhelm II
issued his decree of September 80 stjn-
ulating the establishment of parlia-
mentary government.
The evident fact of Hertling's chan
cellorship was that he was in posi-
ton for which he was not made, posi-
ton that called for Bismarckian will
power, yet for which he had only the
mild energy of the philosopher. This
ola professor had written philosophical
books. He had written about John
Locke and the Cambridge school of
philosophy, about matter and form and
the definition of the soul, and he had
specialized about things beyond the bor-

night and by the break of day had
triumphed without the shedding of blood.
"Thc National Council, originally so
ciety III which mercy the Karolyi party,
the Social Democrats, and the bourgeois,
radicals organcally united for common &C
ton, has developed, through the peculiar
course Of events, into the only organized
power in the state.
"The scales were turned by the attitude
OF the troops Of the Bucharest garrison
Some days before, q Soldiers Council had
been formed by the officers and men and
had joined the National Council In the
streets its members invited officers and men
to remove the rosettes from their headdress
and replace them with tricolorcd cockades
They also induced the officers and men to
gather before the meeting place of the Ma
tional Council and there TO swear loyalty to
the National Council in groups
"Cnder the direction of members of the
National Council the troops occupied the
Central Postoffice and the Telephone Cen
trail late in the evening" The entire body of
officers declared itself at one with the
troops. Only a few generals, referring to
their duty, declined to join. They were ar
rested and turned over to the National
Council"
Among the first acts of the National
Council on assuming supreme power
was the issuance of several proc, anna
lions, announcing the change of govern
ment, admonishing the populace to OBJ
serve law and order, thanking the garri-
son for its assistance in carrying the
revolution to a bloodless victory, etc.
Sales of liquor were prohibited, under
severe penalty. An appeal was directed
to the workers to stop the general strike,
as all the objects sought were attained
Steps were taken at once to resume
operation Of public utilities and the
newspaper plants.
The most interesting of these proca-
nations, however, is ore issued to the
gendarmes. This picked body, CORE
spending in spirit and makeup to the
famous Royal Irish Constabulary, was
always considered the most ruthless and
effective instrument of the old regime,
used IN suppresslng unrest in cases where
even the employment of regular troops
was regarded as risky. There was no lit
tie fear that the revolution might meet
with resistance on the part of the gen.
darmes, in which case street battles and
bloodshed on large scale would have
cnsued
The appeal issued by the National
Council says in part:
"Gendarmes! Our Hungarian brethren!
eve wish to save the Hungary that has
been thrust into deadly peril through the
criminal and ignorant leadership of it's
rulers.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-01-12

An impressive and characteristic ac-
count of the new regimes first day, with
the garrison's taking the oath of allegi-
ance for a climax, is given by the Buda-
pest correspondent of the "Algemein-
Handelsblad," an Amsterdam newspaper.
He writes:
"On the broad steps leading UP to the
parliament building plain man, of middle
build, steps forward from among the group
of notables. This man in civilian clothes is
the first Hungarian citizen Minister of War.
Lieutenant Colonel Adalbert Under.
In a few but spirited words he addresses
the crowd. He says that the Magyar soldiers
are not conquered. They have defended the
freedom of the fatherland 1t is Prussian-
ism that has been conquered, the foreign
idea for which the Magyar people, led astray
by its guilty leaders, had to bleed through
four years. He calls on the officers and
soldiers of the garrison to take the oath of
allegiance to the revolutionary government.
