Progress Toward Peace
Optimistic Message Received at
White House From Paris

Washington, March ga message
70 the White House today from the
American delegation in Paris SAID
that greater progress toward peace is
being made than appeared on the
surface. No details were given and
White House officials decline to spec
ulate on what developments might
have furnished the basis for the lis
patch
In some quarters it is assumed that
the American delegates are optimistic
over the important amendments to
the league of nations constitution
agreed upon yesterday. including che
specifically declaring the exemption
Of domestic questions from the ju.'is-
tiction Of the league and over the
apparent certainty that associated
powers will accept President Will
sons provis designed to preserve
the Monroe Doctrine.

Time Has Come for Allied Ma
tions to Meet The Issue
Raised by Bolshevism
THE FATE OF CIVILIZATIONS
Is IN THE BALANCE
Germany Seems More Inclined to
Surrender to the Anarchy Of
Bolsheviki Rule Then to Ac-
cept the Terms of Entente.

Washington, March 25.-Reports
Of an increasing seriousness OF the
situation in Hungary led to an opinion
expressed today by an official OF the
state department that the time he'd
come for the allied nations :tprc-
sented at Paris TO take q definite and
firm stand against Bo!shev;sn. Lit
tie news Of an official nature was re-
ceived at the state department during
the day but dispatches from Paris in
dicated that grave apprehension was
felt there as we'll as III Washington
over the situation.
Representative of the United
States in Vienna reported today that
the food administration had one or
two agents in Budapest and it was
stated that there might be other
Americans there These advices sad
there was no i'll feeling towards
Americans or British in Budapest but
a strong feeling Of hostility was being
manifested against the French. This.
it is believed here, is due to the oc-
cupation by French troops Of the
neutral zones between CZechoSlovakia
and Hungary, and Rou'nania anG
Hungary It is believed here that
probably the French members ot the
:ntera!hed mission IL Budapest nave
been interned as has been reported IN
news dispatches from Vienna. but
doubt was expressed as to the lnc!u-
sion OF Americans or British IN the
internment order.
1T was said by officials that if the
Hungarians actually have declared
war upon the entente powers, as was
threatened in statement made pub
lie yesterday it would be a natura!
move for the Hungarians to attempt
to reach the -Adriatic and recover a
portion OF the Austrian navy now III
the hands Of the Jugo-Slavs. Hun
garian leaders. it was said, undoubt-
edly would recognize the advantage
70 be gained by striking Immediately
towards the 1Adriatic before the au-
thorities in Paris had time to act.
The question as 70 whether Hun
gary's acceptance OF Golshevisn? had
its inspiration from German sources
IS considered doubtful by state de-
partnent officials although it was
said that ii would be an eXpcrIaen,
OF great interest TO Germany as il
would at once put the alliance TO the
test as to their attitude towards Boil
shevisnl.
Advices to the department indicat-
ed that the peasantry OF Hungary thus
far mad not accepted the new regime
TO any great extent but it was point
ed out that in no case has Bolshe-
visnl got its start by a general rising
of the proletariat. Rather it has
been started by small clique Of Of
fcials and gradually has spread and
been instilled into the minds OF the
proletariat. Such was the case II
Russia it was said. and undoubtedly
is the way which the disease" as il
was called by one official today:
spread throughout Hungary.

GOlD-CoIM SCALES A RELIC
in Daily Use in That State
Many Years Ago.

A gold-coln scales of the type so
useful to merchants In the middle OF
the nineteenth century Is one of the
relics kept by JEFF Davis Of Boonville.
Modern methods of exchange nave
rendered the scales useless but 1t Is
In as good condition as 1t was when
his grandfather used 1t at Cole Neck
sixty years ago.
At the time b. b. Brereton set up
his little store ut Cole Neck, just n
half mile north Of what Is now Clif-
ton City, the pioneers were crossing
the plains in search for gold. Gold
Sweating" was common. Particles OF
gold dust were removed from the coin
so that its value rather than its APP
pearance suffered. The merchant had
to be constantly pn the lookout for
underweight eoins~when dealing with
such a class or trade.
A pair of scales was bought by Mr..
Brereton for this purpose. A brass
weight was used In balancing the
scales to get the exact weight OF the
COIN But the weight test was not the
only one applied. A slot of varying
size Is in each receptacle on the scales.
The slots were for the 81. $3.50, So. 50,
$40 and $40 coins. Coins failing to at
exactly In their respective slots were
rejected.-Boonville (Mo.) Republican.

In that 1t Is cheaper, simpler and more
