Special Cable to The Star and the
Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1910.

PRAGUE. Czechoslovakia, July 10
(via Paris, July 12).-During their
retreat from Slovakia the Hungarian
red leaders showed the utmost con-
tempt for the entente.
The retreat was delayed beyond the
time limit set and the entente officers
were virtually held prisoners a short
time when they tried to supervise the
withdrawal In the retreat the reds
left no material of value behind them.
They still possess their artillery and
in addition they took with them about
600 locomotives. besides much other
railroad material.
The graveyard of rusting locomo-
tives around Budapest must be in
creasing. All this material now is
lost to the former Austria's ruined
transportation system.

OFFICERS SAY
 JAPAN DOESN'T WANT SHANTuNG

Cincinnati. Aug 1s-Captain NJ. 2. Kamiuski and Captain NJ. Hirnti, army officers, both of Tokio, on a months tour of the United States, gathering data on tho manufacture of machine tools and automobile and airplane motors, arrived in Cincinnati and will remain until Wednesday,, when they leave for Atlanta, Ga. Captain Kamiuski, who was in en- agreements along the eastern front in Russia, during the world war. said in speaking of the Shantung benin sula clause of the peace treaty:
 "I do not believe that Japan will insist on holding Shantung, nor do believe 1t should be considered as a serious question. Japan does not want this stretch of land, for 1t is in habited by Chinese who speak another language and whose civilization is still in the making.
 For Japan to gain anything through the holding of ShantunE would mean that we, the Japanese, must educate the Chinese in that dis trict to modern customs and ways. while we need all the time and finan- cial assistance in promoting indus tries in our own nation"

GERMANS PRAISE U. s. TREATMENT
 OF PRISONERS
Steucklen Says America Has Won Deep Gratitude
 of All Germany.
PRISONERS OF WAR IN JAPAN ARE MISERABLE
French Are Condemned for Holding Men Captured
 During the War.

Berlin, Monday, Aug. IS - (By A. P)-America has won the deep gratitude of Germany for her treat Iment of prisoners of war and her la bors for their behalf in Siberia, de- clared Daniel Steucklen, member of the national assembly and imperial commissioner for war and civilian prisoners, today at meeting of ma Jority Socialists protesting against the further retention of German prisoners in France.
 The meeting was the first move by the Socialists in the plan to bring women forward as an influence for the return of prisoners 1t being felt that they can arouse more sympathy than men. Herr Steucklen blamed France for the holding of these pris- oners and said the condition of the men there was bad. He said the men were terated well in Italy, but that in Japan they were miserable. owing to different customs habits and methods of housing the prison CTS He said 200 Americans working in Siberia among German and Aus trian prisoners are doing good work The empire is spending 7.O0Ot7O marks per month for the maintain snce of these prisoners in addition to which there are hugh sums avail eble from private charity.
 He condemned the Pan-Garmans for using the prisoners merely as a political weapon against the govern ment, calling them a "camarilla afraid of the light" The meeting concluded with q protest against Pre- mier Clemenceau and French military authorities for holding German pris- oners there.
 Reports state that German prison. CTS in France and England have been told that Germany does not really want them to return. these rumors pensising in spite of the govern ment's repeated protests at Versailles Conndentially and secretly. many say the government appreciates there would be tremendous added food problem should the prisoners be sud denly returned to Germany. Fears also are entertained that probably a large number of those returning would be either BolshevistIc in their views or will be easily converted to communism.
 Openly the government declares that no sacrifice will be summed to wei. come and feed the men, but many be- lieve there is a secret understanding resulting In detention in France.

LAYMENS' MEETING OF
 THE BAPTIST CHURCH

The laymen's meeting of the Pres colt Baptist church, and the banquet given by the w. M. U. and the Y. W. A. of the church was real success. There was good crowd present and everyone seemed to have a great time. The pastor announced the purpose of the meeting, after which Mrs. Tag gart and Mrs. Forbes, representing the women's work, made the welcome addresses, which were replied to by Bro. Tom Thrasher in very fitting way.
 We were then treated to a quartette by Brethren Fred, Harris and Floyd Powell and Lester Steed.
 Brother Irwin Blakely in a few we'll chosen remarks, presented the Sunday school work.
 Brother Hap Powell gave us an in- spring talk on B. Y. P. U. work, illustrating in second talk how these vile bodies of ours are full of poison so long as the heart is in its unre- generate state, but what mighty fac tors we can be for driving back spir- itual disease when connected up with the Lord and His work. This illustra- tion was drawn from a buckeye which Brother Hap carries; while it is poi son, yet he says it keeps off rheuma- tism.
 Following this the boys sang for us again.
 Bro. w. A. Forbes gave us force full talk on Fidelity to Christ's Church followed by few words of encourage ment by Brother T. c. McRae.
 We were then entertained by Miss Frances Thrasher in the rendering of two readings. Miss Frances was pleas ing in her address and entertaining.
 The program closed with the pre- sentation of the plans for new $20,- 900 church building which were adopted. The meeting adjourned af- ter calling a conference for Sunday morning next to ratify the action of the committee, and attend to other business. The meeting was dismissed by prayer by the pastor.
 The crowd reassembled in the ban ouet room where an aboundance of refreshments awaited them.

ABOUT GOOD ROADS
Rosstno, July 18th, 1919.

AsOoPS'iNt oNiJ AEbiit ADA0s Editor News:
 Cannot we hove out present high way law amended or changed to make the county one district and to put every public road in the county on a standard gauge roadbed, steel briges on creeks and concrete culverts in the draws? This done by floating bonds as before. Have done by contract, subdividing the county by political or land townships. Then after work is completed, let out said subdivisions by contract by the year for upkeep. All work done under county commits sioner, who shall be the county judge. After this work is completed then commence to gravel the trunk lines. This will educate the people to know better roads and will evenly distribute the benefits, also taxes. Will be an incentive to road interest and as the roads are planned few are benefited and the rest of the county must wait. The people in the lower part of the county are wanting roads too, and this outline will give all good roads ten months in the year.
 We hope for an equalization of ben efits without graft or politics.
