 Because there are 35,OOO Turks in the city, Friday is the first Sunday. Then all the Turkish stores close and one goes twice day to some of the hundred mosques whose slender nina rets gleam white against the green background of the hills.
 Because two hundred years ago a group of Spanish Jews settled in Bos- nia, Saturday is Sunday for many Sarajevans. Then all the Je"lsh stores are closed and the Jews of the city crowd the big yellow synagogue of the main street.

MEX LAWMAKERS WAGE CONFLICT
 ON OIL MATTER

MEXICO CITY,-(By MaiD-A sharp conflict is being waged in the Mexican senate over the natiOnaliZa- ton of oil lands provided in the de crees of President Carranza which were intended to put into effect article 27 of the Mexican constitution. These decrees have been the object of nit- ter attack by the foreign oil interests
 which declare that both they and article 27 of the constitution would be confiscatory. Disappointed over the inactivity of the chamber of deputies which has delayed action on the na- | tionalization question, the senate prot up as a new oil initiative based on that of the president but differing from it in the vital point that it should not be retroactive. If adopted this law would not nationaliZe oil lands to which the title was perfected
 before the present constitution be- | came operative which was on May 21, 1917.
 Debate on this measure. however, soon became complicated as result of attempts to include in it com
 plete redrafting of the 27th article
 In the senate discussions, Lupis
 Cabrera, secretary of the treasury, and Leon Salinas, subsecretary of ] industry and commerce, have pre- sented the governments side in sup | port of standardization.
 Secretary Cabrera also is quoted in newspapers as asserting that the sen ate is only wasting time in discussing
 the oil question since the oil interests
 would not be satified with the sen ate's decision.
 The foreign oil companies have
 prot suits in the Mexican courts to
 prevent the presidential decrees from taking effect, and these have been
 appealed to the supreme court. Sec
 retary Cabrera has opposed action of
 the supreme court in these cases
 seemingly to delay action until the
 executive department of the Mexican | government and representatives Of
 the oil interests can reach an under
 standing. What, If any, progress
 has been made toward reaching such
 an agreement Is unknown.

were forced to reply in kind. These are merely illustrative of the condi- tions there.
 Hungary will starve this winter. Rumanians have stripped it utterly, from seed wheat to the printing presses. They control and censor the mails and wires and are in fact and deed cOnQuerors.
 Among men with whom l talked in Budapest, there is a conviction that if Hungary survives 1t will be only under a monarchy. The peas antry want a king and the old re actionary crowd is powerful, acute and busy. The great landowners are still the great power and with the church, form a powerful organiza- ton Recently one of the great dig nataries of the church approached tHe inter-allied mission with pro posal to place the Duke of - on the throne of Hungary. In fact, there are any number of royal can didates in the offing waiting to see what will happen
 "As for Austria, every province and every district is a separate govern ment by itself, acting independently and often in defiance of the Vienna government, which is actually con- trolled, as far as any control goes, by these workmen and soldiers Coun- cils Neither the christian socialists nor the social democrats have a ma jority in the assembly, so that the all German party with it's membership of about 39 has the balance of power anG throws its vote to suit RS own ends. There must be terrible suf- fering this winter The country will be practically without fuel, and it Is rigorous winter climate. Food al ready is scarce and poor and daily increases in price. The hospitals are still without supplies, the death rate is high, and the streets literally filled with begging men and women and children. Highway robbery is prevalent, smuggling rampant and there are signs of revolution unless conditions quickly mend.
 There too. the body of the people seem to want a monarchy. They have had enough of republiCanism We'll informed people say coup d etat is not impossible. It would not take much to place a king back if he were a strong man with quality of leadership In any event the resC- tionary element is strong and grow ing stronger in the absence of lead ership, in the present government.
 "The Austrians are hopeless re garding their future and see only a union with Italy or CzechO-Slovakia if they are to survive. The country is bankrupt, stripped of it's resources by the peace settlement and the peo- pie are too worn out to fight. In spite of the treaty there is a feeling that some way will be tried to bring about union with Germany"

BRUSSELS,-(By MaiD-The Bel gian steel industry is greatly bandi- capped by lack of transportation. About twenty blast furnaces which have been repaired since the with drawal of the Geraman forces could start work within the next six weeks if the necessary coke could be ob- tained.

CHANGES MUST OCCUR IN ALL NEW STATES OF EUROPE SAYS
 RETURNING YANKEE OFFICIAL

PARIS. Oct. 2.-P)-An intimate | view of conditions in Eastern Europe is given by an American official just pack from a tour thru Poland, Szechc- Slovakia. Austria and later visit to the Hungarian capital at Budapest. He says:
 Tt seems inevitable that changes mast occur in the governments of all these new states of Europe. None of them are stable. Everywhere is the intrigue and struggle for power and place on the part Of cliQues and Individuals and beneath is the unrest end dscontent of the masses. Ma tional independence has not prot Utopia and constitutions do not furn- ish bread
 Tn Poland a strong opposition to Mr. Padsrewski has developed Be sides this Poland will suffer from acute hunger this winter. Her peO- pie are supporting an army out of all proportion to the population to guard her frontiers and any incident may bring a clash with the Czechs or Germans. The TesChen question is acute and both countries are aflame I doubt if a plebiscite will settle it satisfactorily or permanent ly
 Tn Czecho-Slovakia there is strong opposition to the present govern ment, which lacks strength in it's personnel The danger there lies, however, more in the growing jeal- very thorOly subordnated and resent the arrogant attitude of the Bohem- i2ns proper Again, the drastic anti German policy of the government is a source of danger. CzechoSlovakia, In 8 physical sense is better off than any other country over here. She has ample food and fuel and Is thus in a commanding position. Her in- dustries can resume with little out side help With a strong government that country should survive and pros per. Her danger seems to lie in probable radical antagonisms with resulting political confusion
 AS for Hungary, few people here believe it will survive as an inde- pendent country. Eventual union with Rumania seems now inevitable, either with it's own king as vassal, or simply as part of the empire
 The Rumanians were quick to see the powerlessness of the allies and simply disregarded the communica- tion from Paris. The so-called inter- allied military mission, unbacked by anything real, is a farce. The other day letter was sent to the Ru- manian commander by this mission, written in English, and he handed it back with the remark to communicate with him in a language understood by civilized people. Another Ru- manian parsonage remarked that the Paris conference had sent them very impOlite note to which they

DOUBLE ELECTION
BOARDS TO STAND
Effort to Wipe Out New
System Ends in Fail

(By Associated Press)

CHARLESTON, w. Va. Jan. 22-
The double election board law in West
Virginia will not be replaced this
session Of the Legislature. While the
bill is still on the calendar in the
House Of Delegates in the amendment
stage to which 1t was returned from
the third reading, few days ago, a
similar bill in the seante was reject
ed by that body and the time under
the rules for reconsideration this ses-
sion has passed
The rules prevent the conside deration
Of any other bill having the same ef-
feet. 1t might be possible to amend
the law as it now stands in certain
particulars to SATISFY some who are
criticizing 1t but even amendments
which would have the effect Of chang
ing the main feature Of the law would
be barred.
While considerable sentiment
against the measure was manifested
in the house of delegates there ap-
parently was very little desire to
change it in the senate. BY the time
it has been tried out in another gen
eral election It's friends claim 1t will
have been generally accepted in its
main features and by that time 1t will
be better known Just what changes
should be made to strengthen 1t and
eliminate its faults.
