HUNGARY REVOLT TRICK
(By Associated Press)


PRAGUE, April 1.-The communists
have set up a reign of terror in Bud
apest, according to member of the
Czecho-Slovak mission to Budapest,
who returned here Sunday. The stocks
of food in the Hungarian capital are
sufficient for only ten days and only
300 head of cattle are coming into
the city daily instead of the normal
$500. Famine is feared, while the
coal situation also is grave.
ARCHANGEL, April 1.-Bolshevik
artillery subjected the allied railway
front and positions south of Odozer-
in many weeks Sunday. In the mean
time the enemy was moving consider
able forces through the woods, indi-
eating that an attack may follow
soon.
A little garrison of Four French SOL
diers in an outlying blockhouse guard
ing one of the allied flanks near the
front line yesterday repeatedly re-
pulsed attacks by eighty Bolshevik
infantrymen who had slipped through
the woods and attempted a surprise
The weather was mild and sunshiny
and an enemy observation balloon was
Up almost all day spotting the effect
of shells. An enemy airplane drop
ped bomb on village north of
Odozerskaia, but no damage resulted.
The allied positions along the front
line are strong, with blockhouses
guarding the flanks and snow
trenches built UP with log barricades.
while there are ample dugouts to
shelter all the allied forces. The
troops holding this front include con-
siderable numbers Of American.
French, British and New Russian
troops. The allies artillery here prob
ably is equal to that of the enens7.
West Of Odozerskaia the allied artil-
lery is still shelling Bolshoia Oxera,
and number of explosions occurred
in that village Sunday.
kUsANs ASK SUPPORT.
PARIS, Apil Reports to the
French foreign office indicate that the
Hungarian revolution was staged
largely with the purpose of testing
the Strength Oh the Will OIL Iue entente
powers and was designed to frighten
them with the idea that Germany
might also rapidly disintergrate.
M. Ducavitch, former premier of
the Kuban republic, formed immedi-
ately after the first revolution and
consisting of seven states in the Cir
causasian region, is in Paris with a
delegation and has presented memo
randum to the peace conference ask
ing allied support to prevent the re-
public being deprived of independ-
ence by Bolshevism."
M. Ducavitch stated Monday that
the losses of tine Kuban cossacks in
the fighting against the Bolsheviki
during the past year had been four
times heavier than the three years

one-third of the population of military
age had been killed and not enough
men were left to cultivate the soil

ENDEAvoRING 1OG|VE
YOUNGSTERS EMPLOY.
MENT THIS SUMMER
Construction Of State and Federal
Child Labor Laws VIII Be Asked
As They Apply to Tobacco
Stemmery-PrOf. Capllng.
or Investigates.

There has been much discussion In
Maysville since the r. ]. Reynolds To-
bacco Stemmery started last week
about the state and federal child la
Dor laws as they apply to a tobacco
stemmery. Many children who attend
school during the school term and
who are now out on vacation have
sought employment in the stemmery
but the management, although desir-
ing to give the youngsters employ
ment, have been compelled to refuse
them work because of the provisions
of the child labor laws.
There are those who believe the law
covering children between the ages of
IA and 16 does not apply to a tobacco
stemmery while there are others who
believe these laws do apply and in
order to get a direct ruling on the
matter, Superintendent W. ]. Capling-
er, Of the city schools, who is In
charge Of the matter in this city, will
Wednesday morning visit the Rey-
nolds plant and learn exactly what
kind of work the children are called
upon to do and near what machinery
they are expected to work. He will
then make full and comprehensive
report Of the conditions at the plant
as he finds them and ask the State La
Dor Board for a direct ruling. Upon
receipt of this ruling it will be made
public and the number Of youngsters
who are now clamoring for work will
know what they may expect and the
managers will know how to proceed.
Even though the law does permit
them to work in this plant it will be
necessary for children between IA and
16 years of age to obtain working
permit.

HIGH TENSION IN
EUROPE AWAITING
reply OF GERMANY
Enemy Must Decide on Peace or War
Before z O'clock Monday Even
ing-Allled Forces Ready.

Paris, June 17.-With peace or war
to be determined before D. m. Mon
day, the tension in Paris today recall
ed that preceding the opening of hos
tilities in August, 1914
County Brockdorff-Rantzau was en-
route to Weimar today with a retinue
Of German delegates to present to the
National Assembly the allies reply to
the counter proposals, submitted at
Versailles yesterday evening.
The feeling of the French people
was illustrated by the fact that when
the Germans left the Hotel Des Re-
servoirs for their special train at 9.45
last night a crowd Of 1000 gathered
outside, hooting the enemy representa-
tives. This was the first demonstra-
tion against them in the weeks they
have been In France.
Latest advices from Berlin and
Weimar reiterate that Germany will
not accept the revised treaty unless
it contains important notifications.
Through reports, the German Govern
ment has been apprised from time to
time of the alterations, and in this
way already is in possession Of the
main concessions.
The optimism in allied circles which
had been so noticeable in the last few
days, changed today to a feeling of
uncertainty as to whether the Ger
mans will find the notifications suf-
licient to warrant acceptance. This
attitude was reflected by the public,
attitude which eagerly scanned every
word touching on the situation. There
we're no demonstrations in the streets,
and the people went about their busi-
ness as usual, but the air was elec-
trio with nervous tension as the
citizens silently considered the one
Great question-"peace or war;"
To the eastward, beyond the battle
SCARED regions over which the armies
fought and refought for four years,
the armies of Marshall Ferdinand
Foch waited on German soil for the
word that will send them to Berlin, or
reduce them to the status of mere
police force.
To the northward, the great ships
of the British navy, their movement
shrouded in mystery, were known to
be preparing for a quick descent upon.
the all but unprotected German coast,
if the verdict is war.

C. & 0. COAL DOCKS
MOVED FROM HERE
TO CONCORD TODAY
Maysyllle Loses Plant Which Gave
Employment to Several People
Here-Sstreets VIII Not Be
Blocked Long In the
Future.

When the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company's Coal Docks burn
ed at this place the company an
nounced that they proposed to build
1t farther East for convenience of the
road and to prevent the blocking Of
cross streets in the city of Maysville
Shortly after that they began work
at erecting steel and concrete dock
near Concord, Lewis county and 1t is
now completed.
Since the burning of the docks at
this place the company has been using
a large digger" with which to load
their trains with coal on the site Of
the old docks but this morning this
was discontinued here and the new
docks at Concord were started.
The moving Of the coal docks to
Concord will ultimately prove distinct
loss to. Maysville as the pay roll of
the plant is said to be something like
$2S0O per month and the most of the
men who worked on the docks and
were connected with the docks either
lived in Maysville or its suburbs and
this pay roll finally found its way to
the cash drawers of the local mer-
chants. For the present, 1t is expect
ed that the men working on and about
the docks and pumping station will
continue their homes near Maysville
but 1t is reasonable to believe that
these families will finally move closer
to their work. Maysville being the
largest city in this territory much of
this money will come here any way
but much which would have been
spent here had the plant remained
here will now be spent with merchants
nearer the plant.
One distinct advantage to Maysville
in the moving of the docks from this
city is that in the future there will
not be so much OF an excuse for the
blocking of East end cross streets.
When East bound engines were coaling
at the docks they often ileft their train
of cars standing on the tracks within
the city thus blocking the crossings
in some cases for quite while. This
excuse will be entirely removed and
Maysville's East end cross streets
should be clear in the future.
An effort was made on the part of
the Maysville Chamber of Commerce
to hold the docks in Maysville but the
railroad company explained that there
were many advantages in moving it
farther East.
The pumping station at the site OF
the old coal docks will be discontinued
during the week thus removing two
more families from the suburbs of the
city.
