Army PeJ. Laon
 Tries to CheW
 Trainer's Head

DOUGLAS, Ariz, March 28.- John Grear, an animal trainer with carnival company, was at- tackled and seriously injured to- day by mountain lion whose cage he had entered. The puma sprang upon the man, knocked him down and was chewing his h cad when driven off by other at tendants armed with iron bars and pistols loaded with blank cart ridges. Grear was rescued by Loftus, circus clown, who enter ed the cage for him and was taken to a hospital.
 The mountain lion as cub, was presented by Mexicans to General John J. Pershing when he was in Mexico in command of the Ameri- can punitive expedition against Villa. The cub grew up in the army and recently was sold by soldiers at Nogales, Arizona, to the carnival. Separation from a kitten which had been his play mate at Nogales, is said to be re- sponsibIe for developing savage traits which eliminated in his at tack on the trainer today.

BUDAPEST, VIA COPENHAGEN, March 2S-(By The Associated Press) -Bela Kun, the Hungarian foreign minister, in an address to delegates of the old Communist party on the change in regime, declared that with inception of united revolutionary ac- tion the moment had arrived to liqui- date the Communist party.
 The soviet constitution, Bella Kun continued was being worked out on instructions by Lenine, the Russian bolshevist premier. but that Lenine had declared it was unnecessary to copy the mistakes of the Russian rev olution. A dictatorship, the foreign minister added, did not necessarily signify terrorism, which was only one of Relationships weapons to be used when needful Bela Runs resolution dissolving the communist party and forming a united proletarian party was carried unanimously.

HUN MINISTER
 SAYS COUNTRY
 NOT BANKRUPT
Conditions Could Be Worse All Safe So Long as Pos
 sibility of Work Remains Will Try to Pay Debts New Tax System to Help - Finance Commis-
 sion Now on Way to Paris

BERLIN, Thursday, March 27.-CBy The Associated Press)-Germany is not bankrupt, because she has the possi- bility of work, Dr. Schiller, German minister of finance, told the correspon- dent today in discussing the financial situation. But" he continued, "she will become bankrupt so far it is pos sible to say at present whenever the possibility of working is taken away.
 "The financial outlook simply dis appears into nothingness in case of an unfavorable peace that does not give us an opportunity to recover our equilib- rium."
 Dr. Schiller repeated the German plaint that delay in making peace in creases the danger of bOlshevism, but expressed optimism for the future if Germany is able to obtain food and raw materials. The minister said that special inducements in the form of a lighter taxation or immunity from cer- tain taxes would be offered to foreign, especially American capital
 Tn any event." he said, mo Ameri- can or other foreigner not a resident of Germany will be subject to property taxes Similarly, Germans resident abroad will be free from property tax Americans and other foreigners will be immune from the ten per cent tax which 1t is planned to impose upon in- vestment capital"
 The finance minister pointed out that American investment was especially favorable under the present rate of exchange.
 Debts Piled Up High
 After remarking that the new Ger man taxation system must await the peace treaty, the finance minister said that Germany was faced with the pay ment, first of it's before the-war debts and credits granted by neutrals; second with internal war debts loans in sup port of war sufferers and so forth and third, until the indemnity was definite ly established there could be no taxa tion legislation beyond general out lines.
 Dr. Schiller insisted upon the neces- sity of paying old obligations owing to the urgent need of credit with which to rehabilitate the country.
 He declared that every known means of raisnig money would be resorted to- especially through direct and indirect taxes. The minister said he wanted to warn the public that taxation would be extended to a degree hitherto unknown in Germany and in a frankly anti-plu- tocratic way. He said that income property would be taxed heavily both for the purpose fraising money and for the economic effect on prices, be- cause the minister believes that prices will fall as the purchasing power oi the mark decreases.

WASHINGTON, March 2S-The new British order in council prohibiting the export of gold will not affect this country, in the opinion of officials here conversant with the international situation. Transfer of gold between the allies virtually ceased when the United States entered the war, credits being arranged to eliminate the ne- cessity for transport of gold from one country to another. For many months gold imports into the United States have averaged only few millions.
 It was not believed here that the new order would change the actual situation at all. since it has been un- derstood that gold shipments were prohibited by agreement among finan- cial interests.

/ duce their acreage by one-third
The Avalanche has always advocat-
ed the diversification of crops, and
rs rule the farmers of this section
of the country have followed this rule
closely and when there is anything
ike reasonable season they have
made good. This is a great country
for raising all kinds of crops and for
that reason our farmers are not as
wild over the one crop proposition as
in other parts of the state. There
has for a number Of years been quite
4 lot of cotton planted in the South
Plains, but never an over acreage, so
that the meeting held in Dallas may
not have much bearing on the farm
ers of this section, but they will of
course abide by the suggestions Of
the organization and departments in
planting their crops of cotton this
year.
The Avalanche suggests that our
farmers devote at least part of their
acreage this year to raising Of broom
corn, as this is good money crop,
and has always brought good price.
Parties are already in communication
with the Chamber Of Commerce for
the establishment Of broom factory
in Lubbock should the crop acreage
justify, and we would be glad if there
is enough acreage here that this fac
tory De located at Lubbock.

was held at the Court House Wed

trying to secure a cotton marketing
