SOME TERMS IMPOSSIBLE.
Declares Count Apponyi, Who Is Writ
ing Hungary's Answer to Peace Terms.

Budapest. Tuesday, Jan. 27.-Count
Albert Apponyi is engaged in writing
Hungary's answer to the terms of
peace submitted at Neuilly by the
peace conference. He said to-day there
were many clauses which were impos-
sible of fulfllment.
There are 60 absurdities in the pro-
posed treaty. One of these takes away
all our wood and iron ore, while an
other demands that we give wood and
I.)re TO the Austrians. What affect our
people most is the loss of territory. A
for the economic conditions, we know
we can never fulfill them. so they can
not matter so much II man asks me
70 pay thousand dollars. I may do 50.
but if he demands a billion, | know
l can't comply, and so should not
worry"
The depressing effects Of the treaty
are evident in Budapest. Wines are
not served AZ hotels. flags are half
masted and ST. Stephens crown on the
roysl>palace has been drsped in black.

CONGRESS HAS
THE FACTS TO
BACK UP HIS PLEA

Rendered by Making
Available on Credit a
Small Portion of Our Ex-
portable SurplusOf Food"
Shouldn't Hoard in the
Face of Catastrophe.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 2S.--Presi'
dent Wilson to-day asked Secretary
Glass to make another appeal to Con
gress for authority to loan Sl50,O00,O00
to Poland, Austria and Armenia to re-
lieve their desperate food situation.
The president wrote the secretary
that 1t was ''unthinkable" to him that
the United States should withhold from
the stricken people of those countries
the assistance which could be rendered
by making available on credit small
portion of our exportable surplus Of
food
The presidents letter follows:

ticed from the press that Congress is

relief to the stricken portion of Eu

we should withhold from those people
who are in such mental and physical
distress the assistance which can be
rendered by making available on cred

''While I am sure that you must have

tion. This prosperous republic ought
