HUNCRIEST CITY

Budapest, Sept. 2 Correspondence

Budapest, Sept. 2 Correspondence

probably is now the hungriest of the
great cities of Europe. From France
eastward there is a gradual tighten
ing of the belt and an increasing
absence of nutritious food until here
there is a dearth of fats of any kind.
On meat days on light ration Of
beef, mutton or veal of poor quality
is to be had at the midday meal in the
larger restaurants that remain open,

The Rumanian occupation made
harder an already serious situation.
The Rumanians scour the surround

of railway traffic, due to the coal
shortage, is another factor. AS this is

uncertainty as to future developments,

HUNS HAVE new
PLAN TO BUILD
FIGHTING FORCE
Continue Plotting in Anticipa-

many, Sept. 3 Correspondence of
The Associated Press. AN entirely
new scheme for establishing re-
serve army in Germany in antlclpa-
ton of some future opportunity to
establish German military power IS
seen by some German newspapers in
plan they have just discovered and
exposed.
While the scheme is confined to
only one regiment and SO probably
has 10 sanction from the war minis
try it is an indication in the opinion
of American army officers who for
eight months have been studying
rehabilitation of the German forces,
of how hard Prussian militarism dies.
The Lightschlag corps in Westpha-
liza, now the Sixty-second Reichswehr
Irrational army regiment OF the
Thirty first Reichswehr brigade, has
sent out circulars to all men who
have served in this volunteer unit
since the armistice, urging them to
sign a pledge to answer to call to
the colors in the event of general dis
order or a new revolution. The Fret
nelI, Tie luuepeIIueHC SoCldiloC VI gan
in Berlin, suggests that the men re-
sponsible for the scheme really have
in mind something more than sup
preston of disorders, the paper then
quoting from the circular as follows:
"Soon the time will come when the
Fatherland will have need Of every
resolute and proven arm"
The circular. according to the news
papers, says that the corps is or
ganizing a reserve" from among the
best of it's realeased soldiers, this
reserve to be called into the service Of
the corps in time of need. Details are
then given of the method of issuing
such a call. The Freheit, in recent
issue, demanded to know who had
given the corps the right to establish
such a reserve and to promise regu-
lar Reichswehr or National army pay
to these "reservists" whenever called.

FARMER FINDS
BIG DIAMOND IN
CARROLL COUNTY
Discovery Leads to Belief That
Diamond Field Exists
There.

Eureka Springs, Sept. 27.-Dls-
covery of a rough diamond, whicf
weighed three-quarters Of a carat
when cut, in the Ozark mountains, sis
miles from here, has led to the belief
that a diamond field has been uncov-
cred, according to H. A. Rainwater a
St. Louis jeweler, who has inspected
the territory. t
The location, round knoll in the
heart of the mountains, is of volcanic
and craterial formation, and has
many evidences Of upheaval and dis
turbance. Rainwater says. A careful
investigation Of the ground showed
at least 20 different winds of vol
canic earth and rock, samples of
which he gathered and which he will
present to Washington university, st.
Louis, for examination and analysis.
An Ozark mountaineer, residing
near by while crossing the knoll sew
eral months ago, found pretty
stone of unusual formation. He had
not the slightest idea what it was.
but on his next visit to Eureka
Springs showed it to the cashier of
the First National bank, who ex-
pressed his belief that it might be a
diamond. The cashier offered to
send it to Rainwater for expert opln-
ion. He unhesitatingly pronounced
it diamond and sent to to New
York firm to be cut.
Rainwater has summer home at
Eureka Springs, and, interested in the
discovery. decided to spend a week on
the ground after arriving here. He
had no trouble locating the mountain
eer who had found the stone, and he
readily agreed to show him the hill,
The knoll, Rainwater discovered is
composed of very dark, hard brown
clay, plentifully intermixed with
masses of volcanic substance, the
exact formation in which diamonds
are found. AS general rule this
formation is found only far under
ground, but Rainwater believes that
many years ago there was un uphea-
val that reversed natures custom and
brought this field to the earth's sur
face.
1t is impossible to say whether or
not the diamond found was "freak"
or if field of them has been Stun
bled upon. If an analysis of the diff
ferent kinds of cath and rock brought
back by Rainwater proves conclusively
that they are of diamond field for
nation, an effort will be made tc
mine it extensively.
