Helen wong. the twenty year -old

Reports of Execution of KarOlyi
and Joseph Untrue.
Property Being NatiOnalized at
Budapest, in Hungary.
KAROLYI FINDS HARD GOING
Socialism Is Not What He
Thought 1t Would Be.
Wealthy Women Seek To Marry
the American Men.

Vienna, April 17.-Reports of the
executions at Budapest of Count
Michael Karolyi, Archduke Joseph
and others are untrue. The city con-
tinues outwardly quiet with progress
being made toward the nationalist
ton of property. 1t is estimated there
are only twenty naturalized Ameri-
cans and American wives of Hun
that an effort will be made to send
food there. There is little meat and
few vegetables in the hotels and there
is no salt Eggs are plentiful, while
the bread sold in the city is worse
than that on the market here.
When Count Karolyi was in Vienna
he called on Prof. Philip Brown, sec
rotary of the American mission here,
and told him that he would be glad
to accept a can of condensed milk
He finds socialism difficult program
and was much downcast when here,
partly because he felt he was badly
treated by the allies and partly be-
cause he felt he is hated by the aris-
tocrats of Hungary, who charge him
with betraying them into the hands
of robbers and fanatics. He was also
respondent because he was being re-
stricted in his expenditures. In former
times he was accustomed to spend
ing million crowns annually.
They Are Much Afraid.
Count Karolyi's frame of mind is
characteristic of all persons in Hun
gary who have been apprehensive Tor
weeks as to what would happen next.
1t is a common thing to see a party
of men and women walking along the
streets or prOmenadeS or sitting in
cafes and to see one woman burst into
tears and then laughingly wipe her
eyes. Thus is shown the tension I'M
der which people are living who have
lost all their property and the hope
that came with the end of the war.
Foreigners, especially Americans.
are receiving attractive marriage pro-
poSals from families of wealthy young
women who expect by this means to
save something from the wreck of
their fortunes because of the fact that
foreign property will be exempted
from naturalization. Women who
marry foreigners will be enabled to
travel freely over the frontiers with
their families. There is a disposition
on the part of the new government,
however, to allow middle class Hun
garians to leave, provided they do not
take property with them.
Are in AFFECT Poverty.
The condition of many Hungarians
who have fled to Vienna is one of
abject poverty. Count Alexander
Esterhazy, who lost his son in the
war and who was with former EN-
peror Charles until the latter went to
Switzerland, is finding means of sub
slstence by selling the furniture in his
house here. He has already sold his
clothes. There has been a recent ex-
change of visits by officials of Hun
gary and Germany Austria. Minister
OF War. Boehm and Herr Pogany of
the Hungarian foreign office are here
from Budapest with an army of clerks,
ostensibly to liquidate the affairs of
the two governments.

pledges
Express Is for Him.
The Express declares its full belief

peace terms and says that he retains
the complete confidence of the ma
ton.
The Graphic is equally favorable
and says incidentally that Mr.. Lloyd
Georges statement 'justifies the as
sumption that President Wilson has
abandoned opposition or alleged OPP
position to the sterner views of those
powers which suffered most in the
war"
Those who attack individual mem
bers of the peace conference when
the chief concern OF everybody is
the public interest are condemned
by the Chronicle, which says:
IF the peace terms virtually dis
appoint any sane expectation the
fault will lie less with the statesmen
in Paris than with the peoples they

Post Wants Full Reparation.
The Post, which stands for. the
exaction of most severe terms from
Germany, says that the premier's adj
dress is susceptible of various inter
pretations and that, altho Mr.. Lloyd
George declared his readiness to print
the terms of peace along side of his
pledges, sit would be preferable to
see the terms alongside of the de-
mands of justice and security, and,
according with them in every par
ticular."
The Daily News admits there may
have been serious reasons for with
holding information as to the terms of
peace, but in the absence of evidence
mere declarations that all pledges
will be kept are idle. 1t is fact that

HOLD UP 8 CHARTERS
State Board Officially Approves Seven
New Corporations.


Pending further investigation by
state departments, stock selling pro-
jects of three Topeka corporations
have been held up by the state blue
sky department. Proposals for stock
selling schemes by the Liberty Life
Insurance company, the New System
Bakeries company and the Kansas
Automobile Credit company are being
investigated by state officials.
1t is probable that a report on the
companies will be filed with the
board in a few days. Charter appli-
cations approved by the board at its
meeting included:

some of them have not been zkept."
Making a similar point the Herald, the
labor organ says:
Cannot Keep All Pledges.
"All the premier's pledges cannot be
kept for they are as contradictory as
his speeches" The newspaper de-
clares that Mr.. Lloyd George left the
international situation where he found
it and completely missed his oppor-
tunity."
The premier's rejection of any idea
of military action in Russia meets
with considerable approval. The Tel
egraph and Express say 1T will be re-
ceived with general relief. The Daily
News agrees but says that doubt re-
mains regarding the logic of the poll
icy. 1t asks how it is possible to sup
ply arms to the Kolchak government
and yet refuse to do anything further
and contends that such a policy can
succeed only on the assumption that
Bolshevism is moribund.
The Post also is skeptical of the
Russian policy and says:
