COUNT KAROLYI
 LIKES HORSES

London, April 28.---( --(Correspondenc of The Associated Press. )---The prom thence given to Count Karolyi, the Hungarian Premier who is credited here with turning the government of that country over to the Bolshevili, has recalled to one of his London ac- quaintances that he is a millionaire racing man, never weary of remind ing Europe that one of his ancestors executed by Francis Joseph as a rebel in 1S49 for having taken up arms against Austria in the name of Mag var liberty
 "The present Count Karolyi," con tinues the correspondent writing to a newspaper, lis always careful to con- ceaI the fact that he has always been as one with the other Magyar mag mates on one point, namely, the keep ing under of the subject peoples by the Magyars. He has often paraded his friendship for the Entente, but as a hussar officer he fought eagerly against the Russian, Serbian, Ruma- nian and Italian.
 With the duplicity of Tisza, Karolyi has not even the excuse of fanatiCal conviction, whether political or religious. He is a time-server, al ways playing to the gallery for his own end, which may be summed up in the phrase popularity at any cost To secure the plaudits of the mob for his racing colors, is his prime poIiti- cal consideration. So now he comes out as the super patriot and Social iSt %

PREMIER TAXES
 DAILY EXERCISE

Paris, April -(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Premier CIemenceau's wonderful constitution is ascribed partly to the fact that he devotes half an hour every morning to physical exercises. At o'clock Edouard Leroy. his gymnastic mast CT, arrives to put him through a se ries of movements demanding the greatest hexibility in all parts of the body.
 M. C1emenceau, attired in gyInnas- tic costume, endeavors to perform exactly the most difficult exercises. Sometimes, however, when a sudden idea crosses his brain, he darts from the room to make a, note of his in spiration.
 For years the Premier has not missed his morning drill except for g. few days after the attempt made to assassinate him by Cottin, but he resumed 1t as soon as it was safe to do so. It is to this daily exercise that M. CIemenceau attributes his in defatigabIe energy. Even during the most anxious hours of the German offensive he conscientiously went through the drill and found that af- ter a aleepless night it made him fit for the strenuous tasks of his office The lesson is followed by vigorous massage. Ten minutes later, the Premier, who rises at in the morn ing. winter and summer, leaves in his car for the War Office, fresh and ready for the days work.

DEPARTMENT ADVISES ON
 PLUMBING AND CURTAINS
New Bureau Opens in Y. w. c. A.
 Overseas Office.

A new department of finance has been organized by the Y. w. c. A. for it's work in France. Miss Con stance Clark, of Pasadena, Cal, is the executive. Miss Clark before her recent coming to France was director of the big Y. W. c. A. Host ess House at Camp. Lewis, Washing ton.
 All contracts, leases and rentals for all new buildings. will be han dled by Miss Edith Austin of New York city, an experienced architect and builder who will work through this newly created section.
 Plans for remodeliug and decorat- ing of aaI rooms, clubs and hostess houses taken ever by the T. w. c. A. will be in the hands of Miss Mary Buchanan, an interior decorator who comes originally from Scotland, but who has been working in France for the American Y. W. C. A. since the beginning of it's war work.
 In addition, the department is compiling lists, suggestions and gen. eraI shopping guides for all the buy ing of the Association in France in cIuding all kinds of building equip ment from cretonne curtains to plumbing supplies
 A cafeteria expert will have a place in the department to act as generaE advisor on restaurant and cafeteria projects of the Association through out France.
 In short, the department is to be more than finance alone. It is to be a kind of general advisory de- partnent and clearing house for all other departments in the French association-a department where dollars will be measured up against deeds and needs.

PRINTING MAPS IN FIELD.

Paris. April 2S.---The Twenty-Ninth Engineers of the American Expedi- tionary Force are conducting some interesting experiments in map mak- ing and reproducing in the field. With a five-ton truck as a printing and 1ithographic establishment they succeeded in turning out 10000 copies of field maps an hour. The French and British are taking a keen inter est in the American outfit as they have used a railway train for such work and their best output has been about 800 copies an hour. Further more a railway train is limited in op- eration to available tracBage while there virtually is no limitation to the mobility of the truck.
 In some operations of this war every man in a trench raid partly has been furnished with a map of the sector involved so the importance of quick map making is very great. The quick development and prompt repro duction in quantity of air photographs is also a. phase of these experiments.
