The Future OF Hungary.

Hungary, before the war one Of the
strongest Central European states. is
to-day apparently the most helpless
The uncertainty regarding her future
boundaries has had the effect Of para
Lying any attempt at economic recon
structlon. Since the revolution fol
lowing the armistice the usually
shrewd Hungarian politicians have
been unable to formulate plans for O
government or to make any advance
toward an alliance or understanding
with the neighboring states. A Hun
garian official, summing up the po
litical and economic situation, com
pared his country to "a human trunk
without a head, arms or legs"
This condition is in a measure
largely due to the course that Hun
gary has taken in the past In the
government Of the different races
within the kingdom. The appeal for
Hungarian liberty in 1S49, which
KossUTH so eloquently presented &c
the world, 1t was soon discovered
was largely an appeal for Magyar
supremacy. The boon for which the
Magyars had so earnestly fought they
denied to the other races; the Mag
vars became the rulers and the Cd
pressors Of all the other people
within the Hungarian boundary. The
result Is that these people have beer
the first to accede to plans for theil
Incorporation within other states.
The Slovaks, In the north, had q
very keen remembrance OF the Mag
var proverb 1.-THE Slovak is no man
hence there is no Slovak nation" ant
the matter Of their union with tn,
Czechs was half settled when It. wal

CITY'S SEAL IS BONE DRY.
Unnecessary Alarm Over the Barrels
in New York's Coat Of Arms.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
far reaching effect OF bone dry prohibition
has been pointed out by vets and drys
However, all observers. so far as can
find out. have overlooked a change that
must be made. The heraldic device OF
the city OF New York has got to be
changed. II We are to be consistent.
A cursory glance at the coat of arms
OF the city reveals two figures. One is
cigar store Indian of the period prior
to 1890: the other, a gentleman wearing
Panama hat. a pajama coat and Palm
Beach trousers. Between them they sup
port a shield, and on that shield are two
beavers. the vanes OF a windmill and.
horror Of horrors two whiskey barrels.
Think OF 1t! Two whiskey barrels on
the coat of arms OF a soon to be bone dry
town! Even the buzzard perched on the
prone BARRIERS pole above the shield
protests
BY making the change. ! do not know
low many court room walls will be de-
faced, how many municipal flags ripped
up. but we are In for prohibition. let It

DUNNING MR.. BURLESON.
A Vain Attempt to Collect Insurance
on a Loss Of a Year Ago.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: On
January %. 1918. I mailed from the
Custom House post Office in Manhattan
a gold filled watch and chain to Balboa
Heights, Canal Zone. and insured them
for $25. tho purchase price. Up to July.
1918. the watch had not been received.
and I filed an indemnity claim at the
Custom House Office. Two months later
! received the enlightening news that the
watch apparently had left the post Office
Immediately after It was mailed.
Soon after that received a note from
the local post Office asking me to appear
there to give a fuller description of the
lost articles. The description which
had given in my claim had satisfied en-
tirely the clerk at the Custom House.
After waiting vainly for two months
longer without receiving word Of the
Claim, I wrote q letter to the local post
office. stating the case in full and re-
questing that some attention be given It
The poStman appeared the following
morning with my letter and the cheerful
information that the Office had no rec
ord OF such claim. finally convinced
him that 1t had and in a day or so
received n form postal card stating that
my communication would receive atten-
ton. More than two months have
elapsed since then. and I am still on Mr.
Burleson's waiting list.
can THE sun advise me what to do
rext? For am determined to see the
thing through, although 1t would be
easier on my temper to let It drop and
forget all about my long lost s25.

The Last Of the ROssettis.

A memory of an interesting and
distinctive literary and artistic group,
around which there was waged Bit
ter war Of words and criticism, is re-
called by the announcement from Lon.
don OF the death Of WILLIAM Mich
AEL RossErTI. He was the brother
Of CHRISTINA, the poet, and Of DANTE
GABRIEL, painter, poet and one Of
the founders of the Pre- Raphaelite
Brotherhood.
OF the poetical work of the brother
and sister, despite the beauty and
simplicity and spirituality of some of
their verses, there is still a wide d.
vergence Of opinion. 1t Is as wide,
