About confiscatsd Estate.

society folk passed busy day. specu-
latins as to whether they have come
on business connected with the
countess estate. valued at some
ss.s75.ooo. @
This estate was seized by the Alien
Property Custodian when the United
States entered the war. the countess
being in tho position OF several Amer
lean women who were married TO
alien enemies. =
While is is quite possible that they
have such business in view, Count and
Countess Szechenyi are primarily here
In the suite Of Count Pan Telel<i,
sometime Premier OF Hungary. and
Countess Teieixi. who came TO wash
tngtono to pays their respects to the
President and MRS. Harding.
Count Teieki visited this country to
address the Institute Of Politics al
Williams College. ~
The Szechenyis seem to, be serving
as unofficial chaperones for Count and
Countess TeIeisi. for they were with
them at wlliamstown for several
weeks. ,a,.
Before coming to Washington they
also Accomplished them to Newport.

statesman and his wife were enter.
tanned by members OF the Vanderbilt
clan.
Count and Countess" Teleki, accom-.
panied by Countess Szechenyi, called
upon the President and Mrs. Harding
Friday afternoon.
The persistent rumor that Count
and Countess Szechenyi had agreed to
disagree and were contemplating a
divorce will doubtless be set at rest
by the fact that they have been to-
eether for the last several weeks. The
countess returned to this country
nearly a year ago, bringing her four
children with her. and Count ssechenyi
did not come until some months later.

B, JAMES J. DAVIS,
sretary Of Labor,

,sssiAis year Labor Day win find o
great number Of our people who
would be glad to find labor. IL is not
this year day for celebr2tion. but
q day for solemn self-searching for
us all. The question before every one
Of us IS. What can be done 10 im--
prove the present situation Of slack
business and unemploymentf
Every One Should An.
No one man, no group Of men. no
agency. governmental or private. can,
singie-handed. change this situation
overnight. It calls for the best
thought and the hardest endeavors'of
every citizen in the country. -
Every other consideration must give
way to this emergency. This Labor
Day no one. should give a thought TO
his private concerns except as they
may contribute to the general re-
covery.
There happen to be some general
contributions that all can make to
start things going. With all due
respect for prudence, people should
buy all they can to satisfy immediate
needs.
Employers should stop trying to
crush labor organizations, and labor
ORGANIZATIONS should buckle down to
sensible wages and postpone conten.
tions oyer wages and working condi-
tions to a better time.
II we are TO get out Of this bog. II
will be only by giving up private sriev.
ances. working together. and working
hard.
Hard Winter Ahead.
This winter large numbers Of hon
est toilers will be out Of work. Every
community in the country will be
recreant to good Americanism II II
does not provide every bit Of work;
public or private, that can be created
for the jobless. The American worker
hates the bread line, but In some
cases charity will be needed to tide
over those whose savings have been
consumed. That charity must be CIV
en- freely by all who have any means.
Above all, we need faith. This rich
country OF ours Is simply sick from
oyer-indulgence. But II has won.
derful constitution, ana all II needs
Is time to recover, Natural forces
must and will attend to that.
Next spring should bring improve
ment, and not far ahead OF us lies
an era OF prosperity. perhaps the
greatest we ever had.
The patient has probably only this
last crisis to pass in order to reach
the beginning OF swift recovery.
But the country must have. a viii
to recover. We must give up silly
fears and timidities. Everybody can
contribute to that. I,
Labor Day is q good day TO begin
cuitivating that spirit OF optimism
and helpfulness toward the other fel-
low, 49,. ~. ,ty.t
Everybody can put some thought
or effort into the national pool Of
thought and effort that Ia going to
pull us through. On our business lead
ers rests a responsibility greater than
they ever bore before. But II every

In spite OF the fact OF declining

ever had, exceeds that of many pre-

was much greater. This reveals that

are averting the threatened evil OF
loss OF farm labor, and that We may
