BUDAPEST. Hungary, August 9
(via Paris. August 1D.-The Hun
garian situation seems almost hope
less. The Rumanians who have oc-
cupied the city are ruling with a high
hand and all life within the city has
stopped. The food situation is all
but unbearable. The Rumanians have
stopped the trains by blowing up the
tracks and have taken the food from
the markets. Fourteen trainloads of
American food are awaiting shipment
from Vienna for the relief of the
children. The British are ready to
send in food for the hospitals. but the
Rumanians are maintaining the
blockade. They have promised to per-
people are unable to live on promises
Civilians Robbed and Killed.
The Rumanians are likable peo-
pie. but seem to have assimilated too
much from the German occupation of
Bucharest, for the Rumanian methods
here are strikingly like the German
methods. 1t is felt that halt should
be called on such practices. Civilians
have been robbed and killed. Even
their clothes were stolen from the
roads and in the fields. Eleven such
murders have been acknowledged by
the Rumanian officers, who naturally
do not sanction such acts. The old
hatred existing between the Hun
garians and Rumanians must be con-
sidered, but the Hungarians could at
least enforce better discipline.
There was a tremor of excitement
today when number of young
rowdies pretending to be members of
a certain Christian society suddenly
began to beat pedestrians, and par
ticularly Jews. The police, aided by
Rumanian mounted hussars, kept the
fight from spreading.
They have been also arresting COM
munists. or rather certain thieves OF
the communist government They
crowns ($700.000) in blue or old
money. Some newspaper men have
also been arrested.
Try to Maintain Order.
The Rumanians apparently try to
keep order, but, not knowing the
Hungarian language, often arrest the
wrong persons. Infantry. cavalry

licemen with clubs.
Traffic with the suburbs is expected
soon to become normal. as trains are

brothers of THOR Szamuelly. who
committed suicide, have been arrest
ed. One had been blinded by beat
ing received at the hands of peasants.
The returned soldiers are furious
against the communists, because they
were pressed into the service and
made to fight against their will. They
threaten to make trouble unless those
responsible are punished.

THE HARD DIR. JOHNSON

To the Editor of the New York Times
One of the burning questions of the
day is, What is intoxicating liquor?
Legislators, lawyers, and judges have
lately been unable to agree upon the
answer
1t occurs to me that learned counsel
who argue for 275 per cent beer as
Notwithstanding mi ght offer the test
mony to DR.. Samuel Johnson, who could
qualify as an expert. Boswell in his
Life OF Johnson in the chapter covering
the year 1879, writes:
On Wednesday, April 7. I dined with
him at Sir Joshua Reynolds I have
not marked what company was there.
Johnson harangued upon the qualities
of different liquors, and spoke with
great contempt of claret as SO weak,
that "a man would be drowned by it
before it made him drunk He was
persuaded to drink one glass of it,
that he might Judge, not from recollec-
ton, which might be dim, but from i'm
mediate sensation. He shook his head,
and said: Poor stuff No, sir; ella
ret is the liquor for boys; port for
men; but he who appears to be hero
(smilirg) must drink brandy"
Again, in the chapter covering the
year 1881, Boswell returns to the sub
ject. He says:
1 mentioned his scale of liquors:
Claret for boys; port for men; brandy
for heroes. Then" said Mr. Burke.
"let me have claret; love to be a boy;
to have the careless gaiety of boyish
days" Johnson: II should drink cla-
ret, too; il it would give me that; bat
it does not; it neither makes boys men,
nor men boys You'll be drowned by
it before it has any effect upon you"
If an Englishman would be drowned
by claret. what would be the fate of
an American who drank 275 per cent
beer before it had any effect ulon
him? l. v

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
IN FRESHMAN at Yale once asked DR..
~ Hadley, the president, question
q q which was promptly answered.
Whereupon the young man said: My
mother was right. She said My son, you
can learn something from anybody"
A great deal of wisdom is with plain
and lowly folk. Philosophers who have
stuffed huge segments of libraries within
their bulging skulls might go to the woods
and meet a lumbernan who could tell
them more than they knew Of some grave
mystery. Or they might have boatman
to paddle them along stream who was
more deeply versed in many things that
matter.
Somewhere down the village road there
lives a wise and kind old woman who
has spent her days between her Bible
and her household, very nearly. Yet
girlhood memories and womanhood dis
coveries have made her a thoughtful,
feeling counselor. whom you would rather
seek than a shrewd lawyer Try any
veteran you please upon his knowledge of
his trade; it is fresh delight to see his
face glow with it and to hear his tongue
wax eloquent. Give him your attentive
silence, and no matter how much of a
person you think yourself to be, you will
be schooled in matters commonplace to
him but strange to you, which are singu-
larly filled with fascination.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

Even when woman is so old that she
can't deny her age she wants you to I'M
derstand that there was a time when
she was as young as anybody.
Another reason why a girl likes to have
good figure is because she is going to
get married and lose it.
An Irishman sure must hate prohibition
When he dies there will be no fun at his
wake at all, at all.
If princess can get two couples to
dance to a photograph in the front room
of her home she can tell her friends next
day about the ball she had at her resi-
dence last evening.
If a dictionary had mirrors between the
covers you could get a girl to refer
to it oftener than she does.
A good old-fashioned woman tells us
that she can't imagine what women's
clothes are coming to. But why worry
Women-s clothes are not supposed to
leave anything to the Imagination.
And If you did get friend wife every
thing she wants she would want every
thing the other women want.
A man can afford to be a good fellow
once in a while But 1t is a mighty ex-
pensive experiment for a girl.
Many a man Is so busy hunting for
vice in others that he doesn't see the
snake tracks under his own apple tree.
The quickest way for a woman to find
out what mans real disposition is, is
to marry him. And II is also the worst
way.
About half of the matrimonial battles
are caused by the fact that it is easier
to get man home before supper than II
is to keep him at home after supper.

Reported Solution
of Fiume Problem

THE Fiume question was about to
= be forgotten in the press of
other matters, but Paris newspaper,
the Petit Journal, states that an "ami-
cable solution" has been found. For
eign Minister Tittoni of Italy is said
to have agreed to a compromise and
will work out the details in London
with Lloyd George.
According to the French newspa-
pers, Fiume, which was claimed By
Italy and Jugo-Slavia, will be "sub-
ject to a special statute, appeasing
the desires of the Italian residents,
but the Jugo-Slavs will be allowed to
use the port as sea window This,
it is claimed, follows the proposals Of
President Wilson.
Even if the Paris report is true, and
the Italians of Fiume will be appeased
: by the Tttoni plan, what about Jugo-
Slavia? A window" NAV not
satisfy the Jugo-Slavs who wanted a
verandah to go along with the swim

luton of the Fiume question is apt to
be temporary and sow seed of future
strife.

Bella Kun Deposed as
Hungarian Dictator

'1NHE downfall of Bella Kun was in
q evitable- Had not the demorali-
cation followed the close of the war
given him an opportunity to profit by
the misfortunes of Hungary, he never
would have been spewed to the sur
face, grotesque figure, to strut his
brief hour and descend to the obliv-
ion from which he sprang.
Kun may have been sincere in his
beliefs, but that did not make his the
cries any less dangerous. He proved
himself shrewd and showed personal
courage, but these qualities alone do
not make a statesman. Bella Kun fell
because he promised what he could not
perform and undertook to do what no
man of his type could have done. Sta
bic governments are not built on ra-
pine and pillage and class discrimina-
ton, even if the class which suffers
most is the bourgeoisie.
The ideas Kun imbibed by sitting at
the feet of Lenine and Trotzky will
never make considerable Roadway in
this world, since they have no basis
of right or justice and cannot be en-
forced except as they are enforced in
bolshevik Russia, by oppression and
violence.
