the death sentences that had been passed and executed

according to law This has been promised but not fulfilled
The verc in question shocking and may compete with
the worst judicial murders known in the criminal history OF

The delegates wanted to see Kecseme of the towns

The White Terror IN Hungary

The prisoners did not dare to talk because last time when

they received so strikes each None of them knew why they
there Of them had yet been tried Food was
abe scarce irregular and disgusting They starving
They regularly ogged by the guards mostly with the
flat of the swords sometimes with sticks with rubber batons
with dogs whips with leather straps with ronbraced pick
cts and sometimes with the palm of the hand They tried
to stake punishment The showed the Italians the
stakes which were fused for this purpose.
The Italians discovered two Scourges studded with lead and
nagaka which had been forgotten there by the guards
in their hurry The other nteed prisoners corbored these
statements Among them there old absolutely
helpless and some pregnant very their tme who
had been nerne take revenge for not being able to find
their husbands brothers other relatives who had managed
to escape o
The Italians lied to comfort all these poor people This
welcome rext for the Hungarian authorities to set
end to this mgreebe visit They had reported to them
by the military orts Of the italian delegates that the latter
had tried to mas communistc propaganda in Hamasker
and forbade them the visit of any public Institutions The
delegates protested through the chief of the italian Diplomat
Mission in Budapest against this stupidity concooed state

word that might have been msntepred and had left direct

This visit has had two seques The first, sad one, hap
pened in Hajmasker. As the Italians gone
review was held One of the officers inquired Who is the
man who spoke to the Italians? The reported hsa and
stepped forth Instantly armed officers and soldiers rushed
him and knocked him down. He died Of his injuries after
thryx hours This incident is warranted by the confession
of soldier who by order had helped to i'll treat this brave

confinement camp Vienna This man. absolutely reliable
eyewitness has told lot of other horrible details about

The British Opium Monopoly

CHICAGO--Ellen La Motto, an A
merican nurse, has just revealed the
horrors Of the opium evil, in a book
titled "The Opium Monopoly. The
book is based upon Miss La Notes
actual investigations in the Far East,
and upon her study Of the British
Blue Books.
The opium monopoly is British
monopoly. Il is spoken of as the
opium monopoly in the British Blue
Books. India is the source and sup.
ply of the British opium trade; and it
is from India opium that the drug
is supplied to the world, according to
Miss La Motto. The revenue derived
from opium directly in India alone
nets the British government over $l5,
100000 Aside from this sum the
opium sold under the Excise Depart.
ment, including opium and liquors,
nets the government $50,OO0,OOo. These
excise duties are collected on spirits,
beer, opium and intoxicating drugs. IN
British pounds the figures were thus:

sterling; opium, S,l6O,OO5 pounds sterl.

PREDATORY FORCES RETARD
CREATIvEs IMPULSE.

NEW-YORK-A significant admis-
sion that the machine process, if taken
out of the control of predatory forces,
could be made to further rather than
retard the creative impulse, is made
by Frederick L. Acker, in The
Architectural Forum, under such con
ditions, he declared, the world would
he made a pleasant place for every
body, instead of the few,
Mr.. Ackerman's admission is in
direct contrast to the oft repeated as
sertion that the poverty of the masses
is due to the fact that machinery has
taken the place of manual work. Says
Mr.. Alderman:
"I believe thoroughly that, if the
machine process could be lifted out of
the control Of predatory forces, or il
we could bring our social and economic
institutions and industrial processes
into an harmonious working, we could
create out of the machine process &
material environment which would be
superior, from the social standpoint,
to anything thus far created by the
architects and builders of the past.
"It might be that an art thus evol.
we'd would be rather more rigid, 1t
might be that II would not conform
to our criterions Of taste which have
grown out Of our handicraft industry
If it did not then satisfy us, we could
debate the question Of what to do with
the machine. For the present the prob
lem appears to be that Of discovering
how to make man the master Of thC
machine"
