BELLA KUN GOVT RESIGNS UNDER
 MUCH PRESSURE

BUDAPEST. April 22--R1-The strength of the Hungarian soviet gov, ernment seems to be wavering and It's downfall is expected at almost any time. The principal cause of the weakness Is the desertion of thirty thousand Seeker troops to the Ru. manian forces.
 The soviet cause is further threat. ened by new aggressive movements against Hungary by the Csecho.Slo- vaks. With the deserton of such large body of troops, upon which much dependency was placed. and the threatened invasion by the Czechs 1t Is believed that the position of the new government will become on untenable one within short time.

she proposes to create an "Unredeem-
ed Jugoslavia" by taking the JuGoslav
seaport of Fiume and the whole Dal-
matian coast, thus not only absorbing
forcibly large Slav population but
shutting JugosIavia from the sea.
To all this Italy has neither moral
nor legal right. Even the Pact Of
London did not pledge her Fiume and
all Dalmatia. They are not predomi-
nantly italian. She does not need
them for commercial or military
purposes. The Allies cannot let her
have them without undermining the
basis Of the peace settlement on
which they have labored for so many
months or without piling up trouble
that will keep the peace Of Europe
permanently unsettled.
If Italy wants to go, then, there can
be but one answer-Let her go! She
can make herself a pariah among the
powers if she chooses. But Italy had
better weigh carefully the conse-
uuences of such rash and dishonor
able action.

HONEST ADS.

The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association Of Phoneix, Ariz., was
back of a bill recently passed by the
State legislature. The measure, much
like an earlier California law, is di-
rected against false or misleading
statements in advertising. It's appli-
cation is not restricted to dishonesty
advertised merclaniSe. 1t is intended
also to check the shady work Of brok
ers and statesmen with mine stocks,
oil wells and other property of pure
ly speculative value. Measurements
concerning the value, ownership, or
extent of such property will be con-
sidered misdemeanors and punished as
such.
While the charge and the pen
atty are light, the law represents an
other step in the forward movement
for honesty in advertising. Merchants
and manufacturers are learning that
honesty pays best ir the long run,
both in regard to quality of the goods
sold and in the advertising done for
them. Dishonest advertising is not
only bad for particular business,
but it also tends to break down con-
idence in all advertising. That is
why the foresighted, honest merchant
is just as anxious to keep up the lev
Ell of honesty as is the buying pub

WHAT BOOZE MONEY WILL Buy

We talk Of war loans in billions, Of
public improvements costing hundreds
Of millions, but very few people except
those who have been studying the
matter realize the immense sum which
WILDE set free for other purposes by
the enactment of prohibition.
One man who has made study
of dry financial possibilities in the
city of Cleveland is authority for the
stunning news that thirsty Cleveland
ers pour s22,O00,0o0 down their
rhroats annually This does not rep
resent the money invested in build
ings or breweries, but just that pass
ed over the bars for drinks.
This sum IF invested for public SER
vice, says the lightning calculator,
would
Pay all the expenses of city govern
ment for two years:
Pay the salaries of all the teachers
for five years;
Repave the entire city and leave
fat balance in the bank;
Pay the expenses Of the City Hos
pital for seventy-eight years;
Light the streets for fifty years; or
Keep the parks in fine condition for
10 years.
These are only few of the useful
and constructive things which could
be done with all this money, every
cent Of which when spent for liquor
does its little quota Of harm.
The cities where prohibition has
been in force for some time report
that constructive things are really be-
ing done. Taxes are being reduced
gradually. Bank deposits are increas-
ing. Expenses for public institutions
made necessary by the evil effect Of
drink are growing less.

CHANGED ADDRESSES.

The government War Risk Insur-
ance Bureau has announced that it
has in it's possession 100000 worth
of returned checks This rather large
sum of money was sent out to regu-
lar allottees. Hundreds OF thousands
of checks have come back since De-
cember 81, 1917. marked unknown
or "unclaimed.'
The Red Cross has taken over go
600 of these checks and has started
on q campaign to find the allOttees.
The task is large, however, and is
increasing at an average rate of over
1900 newly returned checks per day.
Some of this may be due to mis-
takes made in the offices Of the Bu-
reau; some of it to lack Of magma
ton on the part of postal clerks and
carriers But by far the most trou-
BILE is caused by the failure Of the
people themselves to notify the War
Risk Bureau of changed addresses.
Whether this failure is due to ig-
norance or carelcssness makes no diff
ference in the confusion caused and

GODS VENGEANCE.

When the Ruler Of the Universe
said, "Vengeance is mine. I will
surely repay it was not an idle OF
hgurative speech. He meant exactly
what He said.
We fuss and fret, and make our fu-
tile finite plans for revenge or pun
ishment; but while we are planning,
Divine Justice goes quietly along, and
all at once we see Divine fulfillment.
There has been feeling, fairly
widespread, that Germany escaped
too easily because the actual fighting
was not carried onto German soil.
But now the Austrians and Hungar-
ians are doing to one another what
common Justice seemed to indicate
that Allied armies should do. They
are doing it thoroughly, too-murder-
ing high and low, fighting, burning
houses and towns, laying waste or
neglecti2g fields they should be till
ing. And the terror is creeping into
Germany.
All this without aggression on the
part of the Allied armies, and with
out the loss of life which must have
occurred within our ranks had we
carried out the vengeance ourselves.
In Turkey, too, brigandage is spread
ing. Villages already lie waste, and
the cities and the men in authority
in them all are menaced.
1t is the stern fulfllment of the
pledge from which there is no escape.
And while it sometimes seems as if
Gods justice moved far too slowly for
mans impatient desire, it moves so
surely and with Sucn fitness that it
puts all mortal efforts to shame.

WAR NOW AGAINST DISEASE.

Wars are generally followed by cpl
denies of some sort or other. The
United States health authorities are
determined that there shall be no
such experience in this case if they
can possibly help it. They have un-
dertaken big campaign for the pre-
vention Of all communicable diseases,
through the cooperation Of federal,
State and local authorities.
They are appealing to every COM
munity, large or small, through the
mayors, health officers, chambers Of
commerce, Red Cross and other agen-
cies, urging them to see that certain
fundamental things are done to check
contagion and infection. First there
is to be an inventory taken Of existing
diseases Of the preventable type-and
it should be remembered that virtual
ly all of the communicable diseases
are preventable through proper care.
Then every community Will be expect
ed to set about eradicating it's own
plaques.
Special attention will be given to
three fundamental things-the water
supply, the milk supply and the pub
lie schools. The water must be made
free from the bacteria that cause
typhoid, dyscntery and other watec-
borne diseases. Purity Of milk sources
and cleanliness in its handling must
be assured. The schools must have
adequate medical supervision to dis
cover communicable diseases anl
prevent their spread.
Such common evils as house-1lies
and mosquitoes must be fought, and
| as nearly as may be, exterminated
And any live body Of men in any city
| will find plenty of work to do along
other lines contributing to the same
end.
1t is as valuable a task as can be
| imagined, and should be undertaken
promptly, backed by whatever funds
are necessary.
