PARIS. May 5.-While the actual ne
gotta tions with the Germans are
awaiting the return of the Italians,
and the Italians seem to be awaiting
an invitation from the conference, an
event of very great importance has
taken place in eastern Europe The
occupation of Budapest by Rumanian
troops will probably constitute one Of
the decisive chapters in the history of
bolshevism.
Following the panic in the confer
ence of Paris six weeks ago when
Budapest went" bolshevist, and the
feeble and dangerous efforts made
thereafter by the Smuts mission to
compromise with bolshevism. this is a
result more fortunate than could have
been expected.
1t wtuld be difficult to exaggerate
the far-reachinE effect of what must
be regarded as the first really intelli-
gent step in the east. At the moment
when Rumanian troops have entered
the Hungarian capital and put an end
absolutely to hungarian bolshevism.
Polish troops have taken Grodno and
Wilma and are advancing to Minsk.
Everywhere. except in the south of
Russia. bolshevism is collapsing, and
Poland and Rumania, allies of the
west alike against bolshevism and
Germanism, are fulfilling the mission
which wise craftsmanship would long
ago have assigned to them.
The fall of bolshevism in Hungary
at one time foreshadowed similar
collapse in Russia and deprived the
Germans of one of their best black
mailing arguments in the conference
of Paris. For many months the Ger
mans have threatened to surrender
their country to bolshevism II the
allies did not give them q soft peace.
and 1t is possible now to say with
absolute frankness that these threats
profoundly impressed the allied
statesmen and, for the time being
greatly weakened the allied resolu-
ton.

Hungary Affords Clear Case.

But now we have clear example.
Hungary turned itself over to boil
shevism when it discovered that the
allied terms of peace included the
transfer from Hungary to Rumania.
Jugoslavia and Czechpslovakia Of
those territories inhabited by people
belonging to races to which they
were to be assigned. A dramatic
appeal to Lenin and Trotsky accom-
panied the maneuver. What Hun
gary obviously hoped and expected
was that, in the presence of this new
menace Of bolshevism, the western
powers would change their terms.
Instead. after long hesitations and
took the sound course. and permitted
the Rumanian and Serbian armies
to advance into Hungary as repre-
sentatives of the western allies. After
the briefest of all conceivable cam
paigns. the red army OF Hungary
fed the field and the whole bolshevist
structure collapsed Hungary has now
agreed to accept all the terms fixed
by the Paris conference, and. under
the supervision of the armies of oc-
cupa ton. to purge herself Of boil
shevfst elements. Thus the breach
IN the famous Gordon between Rus
sian .bolshevism and the German
middle Europe has been closed. Rus
sian bolshevism is again isolated and
is naHifestly on its last legs.

II this now serge gown. which is
intended for formal afternoon wear,
Bulloz puts pair of black lace
sleeves, which is surely the maGdest
caprice o. all. They are a distinct
change from the baby sleeves. which
evidently the French intend to have
us adopt in all gowns. regardless of
the occasion for which they are in
tended or the hours in which they are
worn.
When they do not use short sleeves.
it is true. they put in transparent ones,
but so far they have limited the us,.
of this KIND of arm covering to
gowns which are made of taffeta,
ratin.> Georgette and heavy chiffon.
No one as vet put the lace sleeve in
blue serge, aItno the fashion has often
cafied for chiffon sleeves into broad
cloth frocks.
The significant thing: in relation to
those lace sleeves and the other lace
adCrnments on the serge Gown IS
whether or r.. we are to be ! sked to
elevate blue serge into q formal fabric
IL So We VIII have to create Il new
viewpoint toward ii.
There may he some commercial re-
son behind tho intended usage of a
commonplace material as n formal
ore. or the whole thing may be found
ed on the caprice of few designers in
Paris. One thing IS quite true: the
average woman VIII not wear trans
parent black lace-sleeve.s in the street,
and if she has a dark blue serge fash
toned in this manner she will he com
pollcd to keep it for house affairs Of
more or less importance in the after
noon. which lifts the gown into society.
Lace Embroidered on Cloth.
The gown which Bulloz has sent to
this country is shown in the sketch.
and enc can see that the black lace
is everywhere embroidered into the
blue serge. 1t is not stitched on; it is
put into the cloth with a fancy stitch
cry. This work makes it more a part
of the material than it would be if the
lace was merely run on by SILK
thread.
BulloZ has fashioned it in so clever
a manner that the lace seems to be a
part of the serge which has resolved
itself into thinness ard an ornamental
design. 1t is probably this skill in
handiwork that makes the gown APP
pear artistic.
The skirt of the frock is narrow and
plain. and these are words which win
be repeated for several months to
come whenever a skirt is described
The decided feature Of the frock lies
IN the Vciuminous tunic which reaches
to the Knees. 1t drops in a straigh
line from the shoulder: has cirdle at
the waist, and a flat yoke, sleeves and
flounce of the black lace The EN-
broidery is done in fine black thread
surely you realize it's oddly.

Remember that one fly may infect any
food he can touch.
Perfect cleanliness is one enemy of
flies. 1t there are no crumbs. no,
scraps of food lying about the kitchen
and pantry, flies will not find much
to attract, them. They have a keen
sense of smell, and it is said that they
will fly down chimneys to get to food
which they smell.
il is said that flies do not like
onions, and that TIE. wGter in which
onions ere boiled. spread on any sur
face, VIII repel flies. Such remedy
for keeping them-away IS not very
goodSeven if it is a remedy. 1t is
som ething like covering up a ysoiled
frock with a clean apron. Good
screens. neat kitchen yard, and
clean pantry and kitchen do more to
keep them away than anything else.

Money Back on Land Deal.
A. Hartman and .3me-
FoItz Defendants m Suit.

Two Topeka men-L. \. Hartman,
1880 Central Park avenue and Homer
-Foltz, 1900 Kansas avenue-are made
defendants in a SIS, geo suit bought
by Fred Gerber, of Meriden, against
the w. e. Stewart Land company and
others, of Kansas City, in an effort to
recover 100 acres of land in jackson
county. $1,000 in liberty bonds and
5000 exemplary damages.
Gerber charges that Foltz and Hart
man. about January "A, 1919, induced
him to go to Hidalgo county, Tex. to
look at some land; that they showed
him lots II and 12,-block >. thru the
middle of which ran an irrigation ditch
With the banks SO high that man
standing on one side could not see the
land on the other. He says they told
him that in 1918 crops to the value of
$1,000 had been raised on the land;
that it was all smooth and level and
that lateral trenches had been dug for
irrigation purposes.
He says that while on the train re-
turning to Meriden. FoItz' and Hart
man. together with G.. S. Lukens and
A. F. Parker of Kansas City, two other
agents OF the company, made these
representations and induced him to
buy the land. He says it was agreed
that he should deed them his quarter
section in Jackson county. which they
would accept as part payment, and
that they would rent the eighty acres
from him for 1919 at $4,000. The bal
ance was to be paid in liberty bonds
worth S1.723 and five yearly INSTALL
ments. He says he decided his so
acres to them, paid them 81. 500 in lib
erty bonds and closed the 6eai. The
deed is held in escrow by the Peoples
State bank of Meriden, and he asks a
restraining order to enjoin them from
turning it over to the defendants

The combination of the two was not
