CONDITIONS IN BUDAPEST ARE
 CR0TESQuE

Vienna, June 25. (Correspondence of the Associated Press. ss.)-Conditions in Budapest and the surrounding country under the fantastic government of Bella Kun and his soviet are grotesque. It has just become known that the Countess Rada is scrubbing stairways In one Of the city prisons. Count Julius Szechenvi. aged ninety, former ly master of the Kings horse, is one of those who incurred the displeasure of the ruling forces. In spite of his age he has been forci5ly removed from his home and imprisoned. What dis position will be made of him is not likely to reach the public until 1t has been ordered and executed.
 Every room in the handsome mar ble palace of Count Louis Karold, the former Austrian ambassador to London, Is occupied by some one of the vaunted proietariat. with such re- suits as might bc expended. Stove pipes stick from the lace-curtained windows, and the silk-covered walls are smoky, grimy and greasy. Pro- tcctive covers have been torn from rich dfvans and handsome chairs to be used as dishrags. Costly bronzes, clipped and mutilated, arp being used as playthings for the proletarian children.
 ~ lc NTc Edr1c III IDe nHnuSOIne residence of Count Andrussy next door where squalor and dirt are rapidly replacing the magnificance and pol ish of a happier day.
 Day by day comes the news of in- creasing violence on the part of those who arc in power. The latest i'm stances have to do with Ludwig Nav wy, former president of the Hungar- ian Parliament. He was seized at his country home and while being talk en to Budapest, was taken from the train and shot to death by the Red <uard who gave as an excuse that he was trying to escape.
 ' Altogether tho situation in Buda- pest is rapidly approaching the point where there will be the cus- tomary appeal to the great big hearted America" to feed and olothe the people. Security of life and prop erty is growing less with every week and the once magnificent city is rap lidy taking on an appearance to which its people have hitherto been strangers
 Neglect of agriculture is one of the outstanding features of the situation. It is estimated that fifty percent of the tillable soil has been plowed. part 1y due to the disorganization and de- moralizatfon occasioned by an order of the Soviet which forced land own CTS to raise the wages of farm lab- orers from five crowns to thirty crowns a day, and also to give them butter and milk without any charge and to see that they were properly clothed.
 The appeal to the United States for help is expected to come chiefly from the people who have done nothing to work what few fields are now under cultivation and who never had many clothes or felt the need for them.

RUSSIANS FAR
 BELOW NORMAL

London. June z7.---tCorrespondenc of The Associated Press)-Physically normal persons no longer are to be found in Petrograd nor in all Russia. COW journalist and member of the second Duma who has arrived in Co., penhagen after Q long stay in Petro- grad The mental state produced by starvation. disease and nervous strain, he says. forces Russians to lose their mental balance
 Their mental condition SO changes their appearance that often one can not recognize one's nearest friend remember the impression had when I met the well known lawyer, Rajeff- ski. At first did not recognize him. Soon afterward I learnej that he had hanged himself.
 Similar things happen dndly. I think it is to be wondered that such suicides do not become general. Tn all the streets one meets still well dressed There they stand some of them with their heads down, dumb as if turned to stone; others tonelessly repeating, T am dying. Give me something to eat
 'sEven if one has sufficient money to pay the enormous prices one may make acquaintance with starvation ,'' wrote MT. Hessen to the Copenhagen Politiken. "One has to get hold of a seller and persuade him to sell by treating him to some coffee, giving him the place of honor and so on. Money does not tempt him He can always get money. He needs it only in order to continue his trade, or to buy luUurfes such as sable fur coats. gold ornaments or gems. It is not the seller who looks for a buyer. but just the contrary.
 Mot rarely mothers are seen (wirc have left at homo their underfed children) pleading with a milkwomar to yield up half a bottle of milk a, quite q sham eiess sum and it may happen that the mflkwoman suddenly becomes capricious and does not ever answer the unhappy applicant.
 Add to this the terrible typhus and smallpox epidernics. agains, which there is not the slightest possi- bfnfy of protection. Remarkably enough the cholera epidemic thai fourished last summer ceased sud- oDnly as if by a whim of nature, But now the typhus and smallpox cpl dssnlcs arc developing moro and more seriously. Tho government has nc meens to check them. The govern. ment cannot even procure wood enough for cofrins nor transport tc the cems4sries. The survivors mus wait days before they can bury the dsad
 Tt is obvious that people under such conditions with such superhu man efforts of energy demanded o them cannot continue to keep theil msntai baiance."
