Of life q peculiarly bitter form OF exile.
Madeira compared with st. Helena, Is an earthly
paradise. Madeira the Portuguese word for for
est" Is directly In the Atlantic ocean trade routes
and thus Is kept in daily touch with the outside
world. The island. 400 miles west of Morocco, has
a temperate climate. 1t Is II miles wide and 30
miles long and elliptical in shape. Three other
islands nearby complete the Madeira group. There
is population Of 10000. Funchal, the chief city,
has population Of more than 10000, and the Is
land produces famous wine, rs well as an abun'
dance Of fruits, grains and sugar. Oxen are main
'y used for agriculture, instead OF draft horses
and other farming methods are primitive. 1t Is
nearly always summer there. The island Is
volcanic and its scenery Is on magnificent
scale. So the island Is famous as a health
resort Visitors remember the sleds drawn by
oxen, runners being used instead of wheels be-
cause Of the precpitious streets, and the novel
experience of coasting down a street paved with
stone
What Of Hungary's future2 Though the Haps-
burg dynasty has been OuSted and Charles Is in
exile there are other Hapsburgs. General Lehar,
who was Charles Hungarian supporter in the Octo-
her iasco has disappeared his brother Franz, Vien
nese composer Of the Merry Widow" is searching
for him. Admiral Nicholas Horthy is regent of
Hungary and Hungary apparently wants mon
archy and may make him emperor.
Ferenc Vecsey the Hungarian violinist now In
this country is cousin Of Regent Horthy. He
says:
Hungary desires monarchy, but not Haps-
burg monarchy. To understand the way my peo-
pie feel, you must remember that government and
religions In their country 60 hand In hand. Ours
was an apostolic monarchy The ruler wore the
crown of ST. Stephen.
"But the Hapsburg family Is thoroughly hated
1t is decadent house. What Hungary needs Is new
blood. Admiral Horthy represents the people. He
has their interests at heart. He Is clean, ener-
getic patriotic and endowed with strong charac-
ter. He has completely reorganized the army.
"The carving up of Hungary only can result In
discomfort We have lost, 10, 100000 of our popua-
tion although many have drifted back to the little
Hungary and living in wagons, In railroad sta
tions, everywhere. The present arrangement can
not be permanent. We must be given back our
territory, and if necessary, for the maintenance of
peace an autonomy could be created Of part of
Hungary where each of the many nations living
there could speak Its own language. Then Hun
gary her integrity restored should join the little
entente. AS 1t Is now, she Is isolated"
Does Regent Horthy want to be emperor? Ap-
parently not. Anyway, he has a position without
precedent-al the functions and authority OF
king without the title. AS everyone knows, he was
a leading figure In the war. With the outbreak OF
the revolution which resulted in the Hungarian
republic under Karoly he retired to his estates
But he came back from private life to oppose the
Bolshevists. Parliament made him regent in 1920
and since then has been holding the relns Of gov
ernment, never knowing what the morrow may
bring forth.
"Within short time Empress Zlta and her hus-
band. Emperor Charles will return to the throne
Of Austria" This prediction was made by the
Prince Rene de Bourbon, brother of the ex-empress
of Austria who is in the United States on bus!-
ness trip. Eighty per cent or more of the people
are anxious to have them return as quickly as
possible"
