AT one table, z, who dealt, incor-
rectly called no-trumps on his cards
and failed to go game, as A led the
club queen and B got in with the
king Of diamonds to return the suit
and clear it. After making his three
diamonds in dummy, z fnessed the
hearts and let in three clubs.
This was bad play, of course. He
should either have stayed off the
second club to exhaust B, or have
refused to fnesse the diamond until
ne had cleared the hearts. This he
could have done by playing ace of
diamonds and leading the hearts
while he still held the command of
the clubs.
The correct bid on rs cards Is the
neart- AT only one table did B plav
oown-and-out on the lead Of the club
queen. When q led the diamond for
the fnessc, A played the 9, and r.
return Of the deuce of clubs com
pleted his echo in that suit. When
4 led the second round Of diamonds
AS dropping the deuce and indicat-
ing that he could ruff third round
practically forced dummy to lead the
trumps. The fnesse let a in to give
B the ruff in clubs, and B to give A
the ruff in diamonds. These four
tricks just saved the game.
Another example Of bad play on
rs part, Of course. As soon as he
saw the situation he should have
played 70 exhaust the trumps in the
hand Of one adversary, no matter
winch, by refusing to fnesse the
trump, putting on the ace and lead |
ing the jack. This prevents the dou-
bic ruff, which is What saves the

accomplishments, and Professor Os-
car Jaszi, a historian and sociolog
ist Of European reputa ton. On the
very eve Of the World War. when
the lntrigues .of the German Mag
var lmperalists became more ard
more apparent, Count Karolyi
opened negotiations with political
circles at Paris and Petrograd
hoping for assistance therefrom
against the common enemy, Prus-
sian militarism and its Magyar lieu

Ferdinand at Sarajevo and the haste
OF Vienna and Berlin to seize that
opportunity upset all calculations.
and Hungary was swept into the
war on the side of Prussia.
Monsignor Torok, at the time
resident of Rome, had been con-
nected with the Hungarian anti
militarist, anti-German circles for
some time, and he decided to use
his position Of vantage in their be-
half. He strove to convince the Ital-

Victim Of BoIshevists

Declining the offer OF a high posi-.
ton in the Foreign Office, Monsignor
Iorok, whose health had suffered
severely in prison, spent a few
months in retirement. There the
Bolshevik upheaval of March q.
1919, found him. Some of the ter
rorist leaders got on his track, had
him arrested and tried as an active
counter revolutionist. He probably
would have been sentenced to death.
but managed to escape abroad and
lived in Vienna until the end of the
Communist regime.
AS soon as Bella Kun's power col.
lapsed Monsignor Torok hurried
back to Budapest. He thought that
in the coming reconstruction and
consolidation of the Hungarian state
the efforts of every patriot and
democrat were needed, and returned
to offer his services to what he be-
lieved would be a new democratic
government.
Imagine his surprise when, on ar
irving at Budapest, he found the re-
dictionary, monarchist and anti
Semitic party led by Stephen Fried
rich fully established in power and
White terror of the worst brand
rampant.
Monsignor Torok received in time
hint from friend, and, not with
out difficulties, escaped to Vienna.
Monslgnor Torok spent the follow
ing months in Vienna, still eager for
an opportunity to go home and work
for his country and people. In JAN
uary, 1920, he was summoned to
Rome, and on his way back, while
in Switzerland, he was called upon
by Prince Rene of Parma, brother
in-law of the exiled King-Emperor
Charles. Prince Rene handed him
an invitation to Prangins Castle, the
ex- Emperor's residence.
Soon afterward Monsignor Torok
went to Budapest to arrange Some
private affairs in the belief that his
clerical position and his acquaintance
with the then Premier, Charles Hus-
Ear, would make brief sojourn there
possible.
Arriving at his hotel, Monsignor
Torok was told that a gentleman was
waiting for him. The gentleman
turned out to be no other than a
police detective-sent by the friendly
Premier Huszar to arrest him.
For two weeks Monsignor Tor0k
was kept in the police prison among
the lowest sort of criminals, under
abominable conditions. Then he was
Informed that an order for his in
ternment at Hajmasker had been is-

Arriving at home. he joined in the

chaplain, he was ordered to the Rus

slgnor Torok was professor Of canon
law in the Papal Greek Catholic
College Of St. Athanasius in Rome.
When at home, In Budapest, he had
been active for some years back in
the Hungarian pacifst movement.
That movement had two aspects
the theoretical, concerned with
propaganda for the abolition of war
IN general and the working out Of
an international order in which all
conflicts between states and peo-
pies may be solved in a peaceable
and rational manner.
Long a PaciGst
This was merely the Hungarian
section of the international peace
movement. But peace propaganda
in Hungary also had specific and
practical phase, determined by the
specific character of Hungarian mil
ltarlsm. The military party in
Hungary headed by Count Stephen
lisa, was the ally and tool of Prus-
sian imperialism. The Vienna court
and the Magyar junkers insisted on
maintaining a huge army, partly by
way of vanguard of Prussian am
bltlons in the European Southeast.
partly as means to keep the non
Magyar races Of Hungary-Slavs
and Rumanians-in subjection.
Hungarian aggression against Ser
bla was the natural policy postu-
lated both by the Prussian scheme
of Berlin-Bagdad and the plans of
the Magyar miIitarist clique. This
being the case, Hungarian anti-mil
itarsm was by necessity anti-Ger-
man. AT the same time the anti
militarist liberals and radicals nat
urally favored just treatment of
the oppressed nationalties, for thew
realized that was better guaranty
of Hungary's safety than an army.

dict Count Karolyi and the other
Magyar pro-Ally leaders for high
treason.
On the afternoon of his Intern
nent Monsignor Torok received a
caller. 1t was Captain Wild, of the
Austro-H Hungarian general staff. He
hedged around for a while and then
blurted out his errand. He was
sent to offer Monsignor Torok a pass
port and safe conduct to a neutral
country and an unlimited drawing
account-if he only turned etate's
evidence against his friends. Mon
signor Torok told the gallant cap
tain to go to-well, priests usually
do not use such strong language,
but it must be admitted that Father
Torok was under unusually strong
temptation.
Burned His Papers
That same evening Monsignor
Torok escaped from prison. He went
to a certain place where he kept his
correspondence-lots of it. The place
was safe enough, but the priest pre-
ferred not to take chances. So he
burned every bit of paper in his pos
session. That being done, next morn
ing Monsignor Torok presented him
self at the main entrance of his
prison. To his surprise, he was told
by tho guard he could not get In.
"Where is your visitors card7~
the sentry inquired, sternly.
"Whaddayamean visitors card?"
smiled the priest. II am a regular,
dues-paying member"
After some difficulty Monsignor
Tor0k was read,nitted. From that
day on, needless to say, he was
watched with especial vigilance. In
the beginning he was treated we'll, in
accordance with his rank of captain:
he had large and comfortable
room, good food; but he could not
see a newspaper, not even a book;
was not allowed to write or to COM
in any way with the out
side world. Most narrowing Of all,
two guards kept their eyes on him
twentyfour hours a day, following
him whenever he moved about. At
the same time, attempts were made
to persuade him to betray his friends
and bribes of substantial character
were offered.

WILL LET CONTRACT FOR
 OATMAN-GOLD ROADS ROAD

The state highway department has issued a call for bids for the con- struction of the state highway be- tween Oatmand and Gold Roads. The section of the highway to be con- structed traverses a very difficult country, and has taken considerable engineering investigation in order to reduce the cost as much as possible.
 This highway is a section of the Old Trails Highway extending across the northern part of Arizona and will be used not only by large number of transcontinental tourists, but will ac- commodate large volume of local traffic. The state highway depart ment has secured federal aid on this project, and will push the work of construction as fast as the necessary regulations will permit. The states share of the cost will be paid for out of Mohave county's 75% portion of the state road tax fund, which is handled jointly by the board of supervisors and the state engineer.
 This is the first of a number of prospects, to be undertaken in Mohave county, the others being the construc- tion of bridge across the Colorado near the mouth of Grand Wash and the construction of a portion of the Arrowhead Trail, which when con- pleted wifi extend from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City, by way of King man. The completion of the Arrow
The Coconino sun., 1920-02-06

head Trail will undoubtedly lead to extensive development of the Arizona strip lying north of the Grand Can- yon.
 The construction of the bridge and of the Arrowhead Trail will be partly paid for out of appropriations made by the legislature in 1919. The other work contemplated will be handled in cooperation with the highway com- mission of Mohave county, using the proceeds of the bond issue recently voted. The board of supervisors of Mohave county, as we'll as the high way commission are cooperating with the state highway department in the construction of these roads. The sur veys are near completion and in a short time construction should start on the other section of the Old Trails Highway as we'll as the Arrowhead Trail and the bridge crossing the Col orado river.
