The Hamilton coal land is in the
Scottish fields and the written evil
dence showed that it consists Of
$4,000 acres.
The average annual output for
ten years, beginning Whitsunday,

DO you doubt my statement Fl don't.
The Duke Of Hamilton's income from
royalty rents would be small if the
miners on the Hamilton estate were
not working? There would be no roy
alties then Fl should think not.
Consequently, the present duke, and
the other dukes before, never contrib
uted personally anything at all to their
income from royalties ?--It was their
property; they contributed their prop
erty.
Supposing he owned the coal, do you
think it would be unjust that he should
live in Hamilton Palace, and attend the
Riviera and the racccourse, drawing a
shilling ton for every ton produced by
the miners, while the miners, who are
risking their lives, get less than q
shilling a ton for hewing the coal
Would that be manifestly unfair ?-If
the duke did not own the coal it would
be unjust.

The Passing OF Carbai

The correspondent of the "Vos-
sische Zeitung" conceives the
change as personal triumph for
Bella Kun. The canning of the ex-
tremely popular Garbai, who had
been the first president of the Soviet
republic, is explained as the re-
suit of his intimate relations with
Ernest Garami, another moderate
Socialist leader, who had been Mil
lister of Commerce in Count Ka-
rolyl's government, and who, on the
seizure of power by the combined
forces Of the left wing of Social
Democrats and the Communists.
threw in his lot with the anti-Bol-
shevistic efaigres and went west to
Vienna. Recently he was reported

respondent of the "Voasische lei

Do you reserve the right to extract
minerals from under houses, for which
you grant feu, without compromising
for the damage done THAT is so.
Did the late duke and the present
duke grant in hundreds of cases feus

ings into the erection of houses, which
were afterward wrecked by the ex-
traction Of the minerals from under

were granted to different people, but
not to hundreds of workingmen.
But the duke claims the right to re-
move the minerals from under houses,
and so wreck them, without paying
compensation Pit is matter of de-

DO you justify a position of that
kind II do not see any reason why
people should not be left free to use

Besides the dropping out of Presi.

feature Of the reorganization was
the passing of William Boehm. the
former Commissary of War. Boehm.

one of the meteoric personalities of

nally plain worker, electrician bv
trade, Boehm had been one of the
chief organizers Of the military re-
volt which on October 30-3l last
overthrow the Hapsburg regime and
made the proclamation of the Hun

Boehm developed into a sort of Hun

1t seems, however, that even the
favorable outcome of this trial of
strength failed to reestablish that
firm hold which Bella Kun and his
following had gained on the govern
ment in May and June. Disorders
continued, and on July II The Asso-
ciated Press reported from Vienna,
through Paris, the overthrow of the
Kun government "by troops return
ing from the Czech front" The
same dispatch said that Boehm and
LANDER have taken control of the
Communist government. Both men
are Social Democrats, Lander being
member Of the Council of Peoples
Commissaries, while Boehm had re-
tired from the council in June
The same Associated Press dis
patch said that the Bolshevik rule at
Budapest was being broken by
food blockade instituted by the anti
Bolshevik Magyar peasantry them
selves.
The American press at large seems
to accept this latest news of Bella
Kun's overthrow as authentic, but
there is no uniformity whatever as
to the Interpretation of the event
Thus "The New York Sun" writes
"The Hungarian Soviet leader, Bella
Kun, whose overthrow is reported to
the Peace Conference rom Vienna,
seems to have been failure both as
Bolshsvist ana n dictator. At first the
Moscow Soviet acclaimed him the leader
of the advance guard o. Folshevism IN
Western Europe, and then two weeks
afterward declared he was unequal TO
his job. He was unable TO reconcile
the rival factions OF Communists and
Socialist and to force the Soviet rule
upon Hungary further than the terri
tory occupied by his armies. or to win
the much needed support Of the peas
ants"

coal. In an answer to a written
series of questions submitted to
him by the commission as a whole,
the duke said he owned approx
mately 244,500 acres OF coal land,
title to which was acquired by
grants from the crown, regrants
from the crown either with or with
out Parliament's sanction, pur-
chases, settlements on marriage,
escheat and exchange. The aver
age annual coal production from
1913 to 1918, inclusive, was 1885,
O44 tons. His income from his coal
land was derived from royalties and
the gross income for 1913 was
s82,400, which was reduced by
war taxes to E23,890.
After this evidence was read the
miners representatives took the duke
in hand for cross-examination. Mr..
Smile, president Of the Miners
Federation, had the first turn.
"The London Times" gives the fol-
lowing transcript of the questions
and answers:
Mr.. Smillie-I think that this COM

NOMMUNIST Hungary is
passing through the Sc
verest crisis of it's exist


passing through the Sc
verest crisis of it's exist
ence. This one fact stands
out clearly from the maze Of OBJ
scure and contradictory dispatches
The other day Bella Kun was re-
ported ousted from power; but the
same news had been transmitted
several times before, and Bella Kun
seems to have survived unscathed.
Moreover, in the recent instance,
one version stated that Bella Kun
lost his power, not to the forces of
moderation, or Counter revolution"
as his followers would put it, but
to group Of Red leaders who did
not consider even him radical
enough. Another dispatch told of
the formation of a moderate So
cialist Cabinet According to third
source, the capitalization of an anti
Bolshevik government headed by
Count Albert Apponyi, the we'll
known Magyar nationalist states
man, was expected.
Kun Regime Menaced
It would appear that the acute
stage of the Hungarian crisis set
in about the middle Of June. It
was precipitated by factors of both
foreign and domestic politics. I'm
der the former heading the un-
changed hostility of the peace con-
ference, resulting in the strict
maintenance of the blockade, and
the evident impossibility of estab-
fishing a junction with Soviet Rus
sia were predominant. AS to the
developments in the domestic field,
it is wellnigh impossible to form
a clear picture, but it becomes in
creasingly likely that the Kun re-
gime was menaced both from the
right and the left by bourgeois ma
tionalist reaction and by Red ex-
tremisnl.
That there has been a break in
the unity of the Communist Social
ist bloc may be inferred from the
reorganization of the Cabinet OF
peoples commissaries, which took
place about June "a last. This
event was barely touched upon in
the dispatches published in the
American press The "Vossische
Zeitung" of B in, however
printed, in it's issue of June 26, q
Vienna dispatch telling of the up
heaval in detail.
Accordingly, the transformation
of the Cabinet took place in the
sense of Bolshevistic victory at the
expense of the more moderate So
cial-Democratic component Of the
governmental bloc. First of all.
the number of peoples commits
saries was reduced from SO to Il;
for president of the revolutionary
governing council, that is, the Soviet
republic, the Communist, Anton
Dovcsak, one Of the chief Bolshevik
propagandists in the country, was
elected in the stead of the former
president, Alexander Garbai, ar
old-time Social Democrat, one oil
the veterans Of the movement ir
Hungary and leader of the build
ing trade union. Among the re
duced number of peoples commits
saries only three Social Democrats
retained their places, Bokanyi
LANDER and Varga, while the rest

Szabados, failed Of reappointment
their seats being filled with per

other hand, the two representatives

Bella Vago, were not reappointed.
