The Hapsburg Intrigue

1t appears that the debacle which
ended the brief glory of Archdulle
Joseph's Hungarian dictatorship did not
put stop to Hapsburg Vaccinations in
the countries formerly members of the
late unlamented Dual Monarchy. In
Hungary and German Austria the par
tlsans of the deposed dynasty are dam
gerously active, and even in Bohemia.
where the Hapsburgs certainly stand
less of chance than anywhere else, Il
monarchlst conspiracy, detected early in
September, led to the arrest of the
Prince Zdenko Lobkowitz, scion of the
most powerful Germanized Czech noble
family, and ten other persons, mostly Of
hcers OF the former imperial army. Ac-
cordlng to the Norodni Listy, of Prague,
as quoted in a dispatch to The London
Times, regular recruiting bureau for a
monarchlst enterprise was discovered at
the Lobkowitz palace in Vienna, in
charge Of Count Erwin Lobkowitz. a
cousin Of the prince, and one Captajn
Mleka, former adjutant Of the En-
peror Karl. Prince Zdenko himself used
to be Karl's adjutant general and one
OF ms closest personal friends. The
bureau in Vienna, the Prague news
paper alleges, was engaged in eniisting
demobillzed soldiers in restorationist
legion, using large sums Of money by
way of inducement.
This is merely one phase Of the Haps
burg campaign, the ramifications of
which extend to Switzerland, Germany
and even Italy In Hungary monarchist
reaction openly rules. The Friedrich
government is entirely in the hands Of
junkcrs, who, even under the dcspotic
regime Of Count Tjsza, we're classed as
ultra-rcactionarics. The streets Of
Budapest are placarded daily with roy
alist appeals, and not only the support

Helping the
Flying Game

The Chairman-What other methods, with
reasonable economy, do you think could be
used to spread the interest in the flying
game, which would become military asset?
General Mitchell-I think, in the first place,
Senator, that you must guarantee an efficient
air force for national defence, with perma
nent details of observation units for the
army and navy That is the first thing you
have got to do. Now to support that, the next
thing is to organize reserve units all through
the country, and the third thing is to foster
civil aviation; that is, the aviation to go with
the various departments. All of those three
things should be supported by the govern
ment
Then there Is fourth thing to work up,
and that Is commercial aviation, which will
develop as time goes on and the necessity for
aviation becomes apparent to the people AS
they become used to it. think commercial
aviation can be divided into two kinds, that
which is run for profit and that which is run
for sport. l rather imagine that while the
part that is run for profit will have no very
immediate development, the part that is run
for sport will have a certain application
They are beginning to sell equipment for
that purpose at present.
Now. with the organization and develop

be some one there to stop man when he or
his airpane is not in a condition to leave

deal. If that not developed under gem
eral set of regulations, you will have all sorts
or performances gong on. For instance, I
saw an airplane land here a, Boiling Field
the other day that was tied togethev with
string. and the cloth was all gone from the
bottom Of it. 1t looked more like an old
Ford than anything else. 1t was the first

Charles r. Menoher, director Of the AR
Se7uice. Senator Harry s. New, of Indiana,
author Of the New bill for seporate depart
ment Of aeronautics, took the lead in ques-
tioning:
Senator New--Gcnera, what is the pro-
ductive capacity of this country now, the
monthly productive capacity of planes of the
United States to-day?
General Menoher-Just to-day it is prac-
tically nil
Senator New-As a matter of fact, you
have not any, have you?
General Menoher-No, sir.
Senator New-We have gone back, in other
words, substantially to where we were before
entered this war?
General Menoher-Yes. We have, of course,
many facilities that can be utilized in the
manufacture of planes, but from the time an
order was given for any number of planes
until those finished planes could be turned
out and turned over to the government would
be from nine months to a year.
Senator Fletcher-How many planes have
you on hand to-day?
General Menoher-We have some three
thousand De Haviands, we have no pursuit
planes. We have the De Haviland which
can be used as day bombing plane and for
observation purposes. We have no pursuit
planes no bombers.
Senator New-Has our army, as matter
Of fact, single pursuit plane?
General Menoher-Only such as have come

Sunday was nice, so my wife took chair
A few steps up the street, where I could sit
Under tree, backed up against q fence.
Well, I was sitting there, reading my

When this man yelled down from his
window
And asked me what meant,
TreWassing on his grounds?
l told him had fought for this country
And thought had a right to sit
Wherever l wanted to.
Then he came down, and took the chair
away,
And took my crutches, too.
My wife came and helped me home.

I looked out of my window Sunday morning
And saw this soldier sitting on the lawn,
And when l asked him who he was, Your
Honor,
He swore at me and said to mind my
business
I recognized him, then, and knew that he
Lived few doors below
So I came down, and took his chair away
And put it down in front of his own house
Why can't he sit in front of where he lives,
And not come bothering ncighbors?
