Sees New German Menace.

LOn0On, MarCh "A, via Montreal Hungary's adoption of Bolshevlsm is regarded most seriously by the Anglo French press, chiefly as endangering the efforts of the Entente to build up the Rumanian, Polish and Czecho- Slovaks states as bulwarks against German domination of central Eu- rope. All these three states are menaced by advancing Bolshevik armies.
 Neutral Zone Causes Trouble.
 According to a Vienna dispatch it was the establishment of the neutral zone on the Hungarian R manian frontier which the peace conference had decided upon which precipitated the crisis. This zone was intended to make the Hungarians desist from at- lacking the Rumanians and to close the gap between Rumania and Pc land. The Entente note defining this zone was dated March 19, the Vienna adv1ces state. The zone was fixed as belt 140 miles long and 40 miles wide, virtually shutting Hungary be. hind the rivers Theiss, Szamos and Maros, and including the towns of GrossWardein, Debreczen and the en- tire country behind them. The note required the withdrawal of the Hun- garian troops behind the western boundary of the belt within ten days and authorized the Rumanians to ad. vance to the eastern boundary The civil government of the neutral zone was to be exercised by Hungarians under Allied control, but the impor- tant points would be occupied by Allied troops.
 Budpest Blames Entente.
 Statements issued at Budapest &C., cuse the Entente of forcing a revo- lution butt the crisis Is held here to be more probably due to the occupa- tion of parts of Hungary by Czecho- Slovaks and Rumanians, while conn mentators declare the signs are not wanting that Germany is in collusion With the Bolsheviki
 German Motive is Outlined
 pr. Bernhard Dernburg, the former German colonial minister, writes to the Berlin Tagebiatt something which evidently had bearing on the sAtua- tion when he says that Germany, threatened with dishonor instead of security on the west, must turn east ward to satisfy her needs and realize her future.

CHERRY STACK
is SPECTACLE
Accident at the Gas Plant Makes a
Big Show on Upper Main
Street Soon After
Midnight.

remarkable, not to say beautiful.
spectacle high in the air above upper
Main street soon after midnight Sun
day morning caused commotion in
that part of town.
The seal of a retort at the gas
works broke down and that batch of
gas escaped into the furnace system
and up the smokestack. The high,
steel stack soon became cherry red
color and almost melted down. The
glowing, cherry cylinder sticking
up high toward the sky was a pic
ture appreciated. by everybody ex-
cept the gas company.
Its light was reflected by some
windows OF residences, and one Of
these reflections over on South Six
teenth street caused somebody to see
a home there being burned up. A
fire alarm was turned in for Six
teenth street between Johnson and
Exchange as consequence. When
the firemen got into Main street
they thought there was a big confla-
grafton on their hands, but they had
nothing to do when they reached the
gas works.
. The big stack, held from falling by
its guy wires, leaned far over before
the huge gas fire in it cooled down.

HER CHARMING
SMILE DID 1T
Police Of Several Cities are Looking
for a Girl Who Also Wears
Blue Suit and Cashes
Checks.

The Keokuk police have been
asked ITO keep sharp lookout for a
girl with charming smile, giving
the name sometimes of Gertrude La
velle, and every officer is obeying
that request with pleasure. The
charming smile seems to be the
major part of the description Of the
young woman.
With the charming smile and the
air of one accustomed to having
checks cashed, young woman, neat,
but not extensively dressed showed a
check through the grating of Fort
Madison bank. The cashier picking
it up saw that the check was signed
with the name of Mrs. w. w. Cope
land of Burlington and was on the
Merchants National bank of this city.
He handed the young woman $3.50
and she wheeled and walked out.
Later it developed that the check
was a forgery and the pretty name
of Gertrude Lavelle was fictitious.
Beside the charming smile, the girl
wore blue suit and was about
twenty years old. Mrs. Copeland says
she never heard of her before.
