political and social liberation of Hun gary.
 RaISowsIky, The F1rebrand.
 Rakowsky, on the other hand, dreams of and works for the com plete Soviet subectijon of South Eastern and Western Europe. He is pledged to carry the banner of Bol- shevism in triumph from the Tran sylvaniap Alps to the Danube delta, and from Budapest to Paris.
 Rakowsky was always a noted pol itical firebrand, and is unquestion- able a "shole-hogger." Born a Bull garian, he became violently anti Roumanian when Bulgaria was beat en in the Balkan war and his native town passed under the Roumanian flag.
 Arrested as a German spy, he was rescued from prison in Rumania by Russian revolutionary soldiers. Then he engineered a plot for removing" the Rumanian King and his Consort. It failed, so Rakowsky slipped over the Runanian frontier and became BolSheVist High Commissioner" at Odessa, and the Russian Soviet Gov ernment afterwards appointed him it's Minister to Hungary.
 Of the two men, this Hungarian and Bulgarian banded together for the pulling down of the old-estab- lished order of things, Rakowsky is the more interruptions; he has some , thing of Lenin's iron-like will and his cold and relentless determination in combating the enemies of the Cause
 Country Not Starving.
 It is a gross error to suppose that the Hungarian SoVietS are hamp per ed in their activities for either lack of money, men, arms, or supplies. Herein lies at once their own strength and their danger to the rest of Europe.

 The day before my arrival at Sxegedin, Soviet aeroplanes flew over and dropped propaganda leaflets among the soldiers of the French army of occupation. The grammar was execrable, but the meaning of the leaflets was clear.
 "Join us, free France, and help to make possible the Brotherhood of Workers of the World" was the pith of the Soviet plea dropped from the sky.
 No one more than the Bolsheviks realize the value of propaganda and the power of that very useful agent gold Hence they are collectors of bullion on an extensive scale.
 I found that their chief source of supply, singular as it may appear, was Constantinople.
 Buried Gold.
 On Turkey coming into the war the money-changers of the Turkish capital promptly buried their gold to prevent it being commandeered :: by the Government Now it is being dug up again.
 During my wanderings in Pera, the European quarter of Ccnstantinople, saw the windows of the money changers full of Turkish, French and English coined gold.
 The most lanentable part of the business is that Bolshevik agents are buying it in large quan Hties, the cur rent rate of exchange beinaA about 12 Russian roubles for a 20 franc piece,
 An extensive traffic of, this kind goes on; as far as I could sec no at tempt was made 10 stop it, and so here, in the open market of Pera,
