The Tertiurn Quid

The Vallcger quotes this advertisement
from The London Times:
"To All Who Are Getting Poorer: With
rising taxation and with wicked prices for
everything one needs to buy, what is to
fIppen to those who are neither big CAPT
taists nor labor men? Who il to pay the
huge sums that are being squandered,
often, 1t seems, for political ends? Far
the biggest party In the State is the
Third Party, and to-day it is looted at
every turn. Who will Join In helping to
make it assert its strength? The adver-
tiser, retired officer, would be glad to
hear from others who feel as he does and
who refuse to take everything lying
down"
And here is another:
middle Glasses Union. A new move
ment that interests you. The Union has
been formed to protect the great, hitherto
unorganized Middle Glasses against the
Unsuitable demands of Labor, the Power
of Capital, the Indifference of Govern
ment. Full details of the Hon. Secre-
tary."
How numerous is the middle class?
How powerful in rank and file may the
new party expect to be? No census in
either Great Britain or the United States
has been taken. But the company that
feels itself oppressed is probably larger
than is supposed. Talk of class wars
here is one afoot that will provide some
thing of a shindy if it gets going. The
men and women of small fixed incomes
have feelings which are raw

Jobs Without Men

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We are very much interested in
your articles on the unemployment problem
and in the statements made by the various
officials of the employment agencies
During the past thirty days we have
needed carpenters, painters, mechanics and
assemblers, and we find it practically I'M
possible to secure such men.
If these employment directors would
make systematic canvass of the various
industries and Offices in New York Citv
they would undoubtedly find that employers
were having a difficult time securing men.
Such q survey made in Detroit in 1914.
with the result that it practically dis
missed the city's employment problem at that
time There are many agencies, such as the
Police Reserves, that could make such
canvass and find out from each employer
just how many men he could take care of.

New-York tribune., 1919-05-12

III ERLTN, April 15.--The Budapest cor
respondent of the "Deutsche Allgs-
r'eine Zoitung." who has lust returned
to Berlin, contributes to that paper strik-
ing account of conditions under Hungarian
Bolshoysm. He writes as follows:
"When Michael Karolyi's enthusiastic
followers tore up the Belgrade agreement
with the Entente and offered to fraternize
with Moscow, there went at first a feeling
of jubilation through all Hungarian hearts
"a feeling of release; after incessant hu-
miliations, at last the courage to act. If
Hungary had risen at that time, as en-
shaved Prussia did in 1913, it could without
great difficulty have restored it's frontiers.
or at least retained the counties predomi
nantly Hungarian. But to-day such homes
have disappeared, and the flames Of patriot
ism that had been enkinded are extn-
guished.
"a small minority of international dream
ers are easily ruling a people who for
thousand years bravely defended them
selves against all warlike attacks; and their
leader distinctly declares that he takes no
interest in Hungary's territorial existence.
but only in the victory of the worlds pro-
letariat. The government, directed from
MOSCOW, will therefore offer no OBJ
Jections to territorial concessions, if there
by 1t can purchase other advantages, like
food. and keep itself longer in power.
Enforced Hospitality
Budapest is to-day a dead city. in ex-
treme danger Of famine. The riffraff of
the population, unwilling to work, revels in
a passion of vengeance against those who
have some property. The homes of the
bourgeois are occupied by the most impov-
erished families, and joint housekeeping is
compulsory. The secondary purpose is to
keep the bourgeois under the surveillance
OF those who are chiefly interested in con-
tlnuing communism. The stocks of goods
belonging to merchants have become state
property, and money taken in at the shops
must be turned over to the treasury without
any ndemnifcation to the owner. The mer-
chant is accounted useless individual and
the same is true Of the greatest part of
the officials and members of intellectual
callings, like lawyers. Such men are sent to
work at building street railways, at brick
yards or mines.
The middle classes have been forciblv
predetermined through the suppression, so
far as possible, of the sale of merchandise
and the circulation of money. The consoli-
daton of banks has thrown 100000 bank
officials out of employment The economic
programme of the Soviet government also
provides for the Capitalization of factories.
This will eliminate competition, but it will
Kill the spirit of enterprise and shut off
opportunities of work for hundreds of thou
sands. The communizing of houses has had
the effect of stopping building operations,
from which many industries and branches
of trade had derived their support BY far
the greater part of the population of
Budapest is already without work, and the
situation is growing worse from day to day.
"And Budapest is haunted by the spectre
Of hunger. Only little food is any longer
arriving from the country in the great city,

Budapest; a Dead City
By William c. Dreher
Berlin Correspondent of The Tribune

now filled to overflowing with fugitives. The
peasant has held on to his gun, and he will
not hear to the communizing of houses, or
the confscation of his property, and he will
resist with force the compulsory requisi-
.tion of food. Farming work is at stand
still, as the peasant will not work for
others at no profit to himself The military
forces Of the Soviet government are SO
small and lacking in discipline that it
would not be possible for them to carry out
the provisioning of Budapest by force of
arms The grocery stores are almost en-
tirely empty, and there is lack of the most
necessary foods. Inasmuch as the small
supplies are used chiefly for the red army
and the workmen's barracks. the bourgeois
are confronted by terrible future Their
last possessions clothing, linen and jewelry
are requisitioned, and by means of food
card system, such as was introduced in
Russia, it is now proposed to call out the
last penny from the savings of the bour-
geois, in order to compel them to join the
red army as the last means of subsist-
ence.
Food is steadily becoming scarcer, and
the famine is increasing in intensity. Or
ganized labor will soon see, therefore, that
it has exchanged a few fine fattering
phrases and paper advantages for an ex-
istence that grows intolerabe in the end,
and all to achieve q result that profits
chiefly the most inefficient and the profess
sional loafcrs. Already there is growing
antagonism between the metal workers
labor union and the communists, who with
brutal satisfaction are DESTROYING the
wheels of economic life, supported by the
armed power of the greedy mob and in
spired by enthusiasm or much more human
motives.
The Ercr-Active Censor
"By means of rigorous censorship the
attempt is made to deceive the world as to
true conditions in Budapest. The few news
papers that are still allowed to appear
have been degraded into dull propaganda
organs of Bolshevism. All hostile criticism
is threatened with death. Nobody ventures
longer to speak out freely, as the govern
ment has an army of spies. Death sentences
have already been pronounced and carried
out on persons whose only offence was to
express doubts as to the stability of the So
newspapers at Budapest are under strict
censorship; their dispatches are changed
by the censors at will. Foreign newspapers
are not allowed to enter Budapest.
"The impoverishment of the Hungarian
people in soul and body also finds express
sion. so far as Budapest is concerned, in
the fact that nobody shows any disposition
to risk his life for Hungary of the Soviet
Republic. The accessions to the red army
are very few, despite the most energetic
enlistment campaign and the favorable con-
ditions offered; and among the enlisted
men there is not the slightest desire for
service at the front. There are not the
slightest signs of national resistance to
the imperialist violence of neighboring
states.

hour intrusted their destinies to dangerous
illusionists, is going miserably to ruin"

Though none of the regiments with

naly hailed from Ohio, the Secretary
found many men who came from that
state. They were "replacements" who had
Joined the various regiments to fill in for
those who had fallen in battle or from
other causes. Whenever Baker met an
Ohioan he spent some little time talking
over "things" in connection with his adopt
ed state. And sometimes it was talk about
the health Of "Bill" Jones or "si" Smith
down in Buckeye or some other Ohio CON-
munity. The only folks who felt at all

of War during his visit with the ranks
were the officers, who saw visions Of many
things and acted a trife self-conscious.
But the men, the common buck privates,
felt very much at ease and thought ne
thoughts, future or political. Baker left
the impression with them that he was, as
many would express it, a "pretty human
guy" and from the impressions gathered
by the Tribune correspondent who accom-
panied the Secretary the answer is that
Baker Is "a pretty human guy" politics
Notwithstanding. He didn't patronize
Americas most common variety of soldier,

He talked to every one, private or general,
during his stay with the troops in the field,
man to man. And he craned his neck when
an aeroplane came along just as much as
any private standing there at ease and
asked those who were afraid to crane their
necks to go ahead and "crane."

FLEEING FROM BURSTING SHELLS,

Residents of the devastated dis
tricts of France are still fleeing
from bursts Of shell and shrapnel
The new menace is caused BY the
small grass and swamp fires which
frequently set off shells that have
been piled up to be hauled away
and exploded in some safe place.
Major H.'C. Green, of Boston, had
thrilling ride and narrowly es-
capped hail of shrapncI on his way
from st. Quentin to Leon as a re-
suit of one of these fires. n French
woman working in a field near
Bourconvillc was gassed and con-
siderable damage has been done.
In the vast, desolatc fields, thou
sands of uneXploded shells have
been picked up by German prison
ers and though there are details
hauling them away and exploding
them in remote valleys every day,
there are still long ranks of them
everywhere. Sparks from locomo-
tives and from small fires where
battlefield rubbish is being burned,
occasionally set fire to patches of
dry weeds and the accidental bursts
are numerous Roads passing vari-
Gus places where shells are being
set OIL are guarded, but it is from
the accidental blasts that the real
danger comes.
