A local tobacco salesman stopped
in at a combination grocery cnd to-
bacco store kept by colored woman.
He spent some time trying to con-
vince her of the merits of brand of
chewing tobacco. She was undecided
whether to lay in a supply. He was
very anxious to get her on his Gus
toners list. They argued back and
forth until she was almost convinced
It would be good policy to carry his
line. Finally she said with an air Of
f1nality: Let the oui1a board tell me
what to do" The little three-legged
pointer was put ipto commission and
whether propelled by her fingers or
going of its own volition, it made
speedy tracks to NO And the to-
bacco salesman left without the order.

Builders of modern flats might well
take hint from a unique feature in
Buckland's hotel in Brook street, now
undergoing transformation to accom-
modate the new Guards club. This
was a suite of "sound-proof" rooms
called the Handel suite" after the
composer, who lived and died IN BROOK
street, for the use of unsteady in
clined visitors. This admirable ar
rangement enabled amateurs Of such
distressing instruments in the hands

DISPLAY POSTERS IN GERMANY
PROTESTING AGAINST Separation j

[By Associated Press to The Bannerl
ODENBURG, German West Hun
gary, May Cred, white and green
posters with legends of protest
against the separation of this pro-
Hungarian city from Hungary, and
its accession by Austria as soon as
the peace is ratified, appear In nearly
every house and shop window.
Two Austrian commissioners. sent
here to make preliminary arrange
ments for taking over the administra-
tion of the town, upon their arrival
were hooted and jeered by a great
crowd, vegetables were thrown at
their carriage and black flags hung
from most of the public and other
buildings. They seem powerless, it
is said, and are now virtually volun-
tarily interned in their offices here.
This little city, which the Hungar-
ians call, Sopron. Is the metropolis of
that strip of territory which the Peace
Conference took from Hungary and
gave to Austria on economic, ethnolo-
gic and strategic grounds.
It's loss. has caused the Budapest
government to make various propos-
ais to Austria in an effort to retain it,
all of which have been refused. Mean.
while the men here very generally
wear the Hungarian colors in their
coat lapels and the women on their
hats or as hair ribbons. The Austri-
ans charge that the demonstration
against their mission was a govern
mentally organized affair.
The Hungarian government has en-
deavored, it is charged to create the
impression that this region is prepon-
derantly Hungarian in race, tongue
and by prediction. The Vienna gov.
ernment, on the other hand, has re-
sisted this with counter claims that
the people are dominantly Germanic
by blood, language and desire.
OF late weeks there has been con-
siderable publicity given semi-official
Austrian statements that, pending
their withdrawal the Hungarians
were depressing, the Austrian popu-
lation, requisitioning material of all
kinds and generally wreaking their
revenge in much the same way the
Rumanians did to them. 1t was even
stated in high Vienna quarters that
farmers horses were being taken
away.

sociated Press to attempt first.hand
investigation. This has covered ten
typical villages, exclusive of this lit
tie capital, with talks here and there
with peasants in the fields or along
the roads.
It is fair to say that in the region
visited no evidence in support of the
alleged Hungarian oppression or re-
questioning was to be had. The net
impression gained was that the ma
ority of the population in the locali.
ties covered are in favor of union
with Austria. One reason assigned
by the peasants was because the Mag
yars, they said, had never given
them proper schools. Their children
were poorly taught, il taught at all,
and they at least knew the Austrians
had good schools. Then, Vienna was
their market. Budapest was q long
way off. The Hungarian official class
es were 'unsympathetic with the far
mer" and so on. This was echoed in
other towns. Naturally, there was dis
sent. Here and there men talked of
the Vienna Communist government,
with which they wanted nothing to do.
| Here in Odenburg at present an AL
lied Commission is sitting, composed
of British, French and Italian officers,
watching over affairs until the Aus
trians take hold.
This is vine country. 1t has al
ways looked to Hungary for its grain
suppy and fear exists that this may
be cut off. Thus the economic prob.
lem assumes very vital phase for
Austria which must supply at least as
much grain as this region has receiv.
ed heretofore.
While the territory involved is
small and the population only about
100000, the strategic aspect of this
area probably is it's most important
one. Austria's present frontier is
regarded as dangerous in that Vienna
and Wiener-Neustadt, as we'll as
many other industrial centers lying
along the main line Of the railway,
are but little distance from Hun
gary, easily open to attack from that
more powerful neighbor. The acquisi.
tion of German West Hungary is thus
defensive terrain for Austria
