BUDAPEST IS
HUNGRY CITY
Only Light Ration of Beef,
Mutton or Veal on
:, Meat Days

Budapest, Sept. 26.-This probably
cities of Europe. From France
eastward there is a gradual tight
ening of the belt and an increasing
absence of nutritious food until here
there is a dearth of fats of any
kind.
On meat days one light ration Of
beef, mutton or veal of poor quality
is to be had at the midday meal
in the largest restaurants that re-
main open, but on SUCH days supper
is meager. At night at the largest
and most fashionable hotel in the
city, supper consists of a green pep
per stuffed with rice and tomatoes,
boiled spinach and a fragment OF
poor pastry.
The Rumanian. occupation made
harder an already serious situation.
The Rumanians scour the surround
ing country for supplies Interrupt
tion of railway traffic, due to the
coal shortage, is another factor. AS
this is written Hungary is passing
through the governmental crisis that
followed the resignation of Arch
duke Joseph as Chief of State, and
this, with it's uncertainty as to fu-
ture developments, heightens the
general depression of this once gay
est of cities.
Windows Shattered
The magnificent streets present
blocks of great shops with shuttered
windows. Only here and there is a
store open and usually its poorly
filled windows represent about its
stock in trade and at exorbitant
prices despite the low value of the
kronen. Few of the restaurants and
cafes that once made Budapest ia
nous for food and music and splen-
didly dressed people are open, and
idle and poorly dressed crowds fill
the popular streets.
The factories are closed for lack
of coal and raw materials. More
than 100000 persons have fiocked to
the city from the surrounding re-
gions. The streets are filled with
soldiery, both Hungarian and Ru-
manian, and detachments of the lat
ter march continuously through the
city.
One custom still survives in spite
of want and general dreariness of
the city. That is the afternoon
prom enade on the splendid terrace
overlooking the Danube, but the
poorly dressed throng is a ghost of
old Budapest and there is a strik-
ing apathy and sadness on the faces
of the promenaders.
From its terraced height across
the Danube the magnificent palace
looks down on it's changed city, it's
spacious apartments now occupied by
government officials. In one, splen-
did suite of rose brocaded satin and
gilt the Inter-Allied Military Mis-
sion sits, and General Bandholz, the
American member writes on rose
wood desk that once was used by
Emperor Franz Joseph.
