FACES RED CHAOS
Budapest Going Thru Crisis
Worse Than April 3.
Violent Swing to Anarchy and
LO0ting Is Unavoidable.
,By the Associated presso

Budapest. Tuesday, April 22.-This
city is going thru a crisis worse than
that of April 3. There is apprehen-
sion that there will be a violent swing
to anarchy. with the socialists losing
control to Bolsheviki leaders like Bella
Kun, and chiefs of the Red Guard.
Looting, which hitherto has been held
in check or legalized as the national
ization of property" and the assassin
alton of the old political leaders and
the aristocrats are feared.
Reports are current that the Eu-
manians and Czechs have received or
ders from the allies to march on
Budapest. This is increasing the un-
easiness here. 1t is felt. however, that
the Rumanians are advancing merely
to occupy the territories set aside for
them by the allied note of March 20.
which resulted in the resignation of
Count Michael Karolyi the former
premier. The fact that the COM
munists are unable to prevent the al
lies occupying the districts involved
is weakening the influence of Kun
and is causing violent hatred against
the allies among the Hungarians.

Victory Loan Workers, How
ever, Continue To Get Results.
Oversubscription by Saturday
Night Now the Goal.
LUNCHEON THURSDAY At NOON
First Official Report To Be
Made Friday Evening.
Half of Quota Is Expected by
Tomorrow.

Lack of supplies seems to be the
biggest obstacle in the path of prompt
oversubscription of the victory loan in
Shawnee county. At least 1t is GER
tain that there is no dearth of inter
est in the loan or any tendency to re-
fuse to subscribe evinced by the peo-
pie of the county or the city.
Canvassers working the business
and residence districts in the sale of
the bonds Tuesday made beaten path
to the office of John T. Morrissey, Sec
retary of the loan committee, each one
of them demanding more supplies.
There were no supplies to be had-but
the campaign is going on just the
same.
In the meantime j. r. Burrow,
chairman of the committee, is in Kan
sas City trying to procure sufficient
supplies to finish up the campaign
this week.
Goal by Saturday?
AS far as the campaign itself is con-
cerned, every effort is being centered
on one objective-the subscription of
the countys $2,147,5 500 quota by Sat
urday night. 1t is entirely within the
realms of possibility that this will be
done a1tho work in the rural districts
has been allowed to drag to some ex-
tent on account of the season of the
year.
1t is expected at general headquar-
ters for the campaign that several of
the big corporation subscriptions will
be reported either today or tomorrow.
No total reports of bank sales of bonds
will be made until Friday evening, it
has been announced, but unofficial
and most incomplete returns indicate
that the victory loan is going even
better than its four predecessors.
Luncheon Report Tomorrow.
Tho no official reports on the prog
ress of the campaign will be available
until Friday evening, the executive
committee has laid plans to get an
unofficial return on the progress of
the drive in the business districts and
| in the shops and offices of the Santa
Fe. A special invitation to all of the
captains and workers of all of the
mems teams working in. the campaign
is issued for a luncheon at the Cham
| ber of Commerce tomorrow noon.
In announcing this complimentary
dinner, the captains and workers are
each one of them urged to be present
prepared to give a full statement of
the work already accomplished by
| them in the drive. 1t is hoped that
the reports tomorrow will show full
half of the city's quota-or more
subscribed.

IN A SUICIDE Def
Woman Challenges World To

Faint Numbers on Eyeglasses
May Solve the Mystery.

Chicago, April 23.-On a seemingly
unlmportant mark on a pair of eye
glasses detectives based their hopes
today of learning the identity of
woman in the county hospital who has
thus far successfully pitte1 her wits
against those of the keenest police,
physicians and newspaper reporters
who have sought to find out who she
is. Before she swallowed poison in
hotel room forty-eight hours ago, she
had carefully removed all means Of
ide 0ification from her effects-all ex-
cepI the registration numbers family
scratched on the gold frames of her
eyeglasses made by New York opti-
clan. Having deciphered the scratches
with the aid of microscope, the op-
tician has been wired in hope of his
being able to tell the woman's identity.

Gated, and with a taste for CLASSICAL

A new set of principles cannot

Wilson pointed out that condi
tions existing at the time the pact
of London was signed C1915) have
been altered by the dissolution of
Austria Hungary and the establish

insisted the peace conference must
apply the principles established I'm

outlet for commerce. not of Italy,
hut of the lands to the northeast

ITO assign Fiume to Italy would
be to create a feeling that we had
deliberately put the port upon
which those countries chiefly de-
pend for access TO the Mediter-
ranean in the hands of power of
which these nations did not form
an integral part. and whose SOW
