was naturally one OF the first of the
modern nations of Europe TO gain a
foothold in that country. Melillu, n
seacoast town near the northeastern
corner of Morocco, came into the pos
session of Spain in 1897. and other
Mediterranean coast towns have been
captured at various times since
Though a definite zone OF Spanish in
fiuence has been recognized since an
agreement between France and Spain
in 1912, Spain has done little more at
any time than to hold the ports and a
small area OF the hinterland about
each. Spanish authority farther in
land has been more or less nominal
and has never been exercised ut all in
TIE more remote sections of the zone.
Bandits, Of whom the chief was the
notorious Raisuli. have operated in
the Spanish territory in recent years
with little molestatiOn. One of their
fayorite activities has been the kid
mapping of Europeans and Americans
for ransom.
The Spanish Moroccan zone is a rel
atiyely narrow strip Of territory with
on area about equal to that of Bel
GUM, or slightly greater than that of
Vermont, extending across the entire
northern part OF MOrot co. II has n
frontage Of about 200 miles on the
Mediterranean sea and of about 30
miles on the Atlantic. 1t does not in
clude the city of Tangier on the north
westernmoSt point of Africa, that city
with surrounding territory Of 40
square miles having been under inter
national control since 1919. The coun-
try is mountainous but contains con-
siderable agricultural land. This pOr-
ton Of Africa is free from desert con
ditions. The Spanish zone, like the
portion of Morocco under French
prOteetorate 10 the south, probably
contains valuable mineral deposits.
but the disorders prevailing heretofore
prevented adequate prospecting. In
recent years Spain has spent much
more on the zone than has been re-
ceived from It In revenues.

TSARlBROD: A REGION OF
RUMORS AND AROMAS

Serbian forces We're reported few
weeks ago TO have entered Tsaribrod,
hitherto on the Bulgarian side of the
border, preparatory TO occupation or
a strip of territory detached from Bull
garia by the treaty of Neuilly which
followed the World war.
One traveller has described the road
bed along this segment over which the
luxurious Orient Express used to
make its semi-weekly trip from Paris
10 ConstantinOple, as the worst in the
world and the mountain scenery as
the finest. Probably both statements
were exaggerated. But the ravines,
bouders and torrential streams of the
Nishava River region, just before the
railway crosses the Bulgarian from
tier are comparable with the Alps and
sometimes suggest our own Grand
Canyon region In miniature.
Tsarlbrod is inconspicuous. 1t shell
tiers a population of only n few thou

The COWS of Periguex. France. which
serve not only as milk givers. but a.
draft animals. are highly priced by
their peasant owners. and nothing that
can add TO the comfort Of the valu-
able animals is neglected. They are
protected from the annoyance Of
swarms of flies which infest that part
of France by quaint hand-crocheted
wells which cover the entire head and
hang down almost 10 the ground. The
wells themselves are works OF art, with
long silky fringes of varying hues, or
borders of crocheted lace. In schools
which are aided by the Junior Red
Cross Of America, French children are
taught 10 crochet, and so can make
these useful wells.

Europe. But the rest Of the world will now alter
its opinion Of the Magyars.
They have proved In two crises their right tc
lself-govemment, right that is not likely to be
again challenged for at least another hundred
years; and, if the present progress Of the world
continues, the shadow of monarchy has passed
from the plains of Hungary for all time.
Now is the way cleared for the Disarmament
Conference at Washington. It's deliberations will
not be interrupted by the clash of arms. The
necessity for balances Of power to preserve in
ternatonal equilibriums has plainly ceased to
exist AS long as people are self-governing they
will not be impelled to make unprovoked attacks
on their neighbors. When force ceases to rule
nations il ceases to be a national menace.
By their stubborn and successful resistance,
alike to anarchy and military despotism, the peo-
pie of Hungary have earned the right to the con-
fdence of other nations There is no reason why
the friendship which attached our people to the
Hungarian patriots when they were fighting for
their liberty eighty years ago should not be re-
newed. They have given an earnest of their
absolute rejection of the influences that impelIed
them to follow their King into the World War.
And it should be remembered that Austria took
the lead in that movement and that rigid conscrip-
ton alone brought majority of the Hungariars
into the service. That chapter is closed. A new
Hungary has arisen in which the will of the peo-
pie is the supreme law of the nation For them
the liberty-loving millions of the United States
have only good wishes and words of encourage
ment for more thoroughly than any other peo-
pie who fought with the Central Powers, they
have accomplished their own redemption.
AS to the ultimate fate of the eX-Emperor and
his consort, that is matter of small Importance.
They have ceased to figure in the destnies of peo-
pies and nations. They are only broken remnants
Of a regime that has passed from the worlds
stage.

aWHEN Is A RRcORD7

Congressman Blanton has done
something that our most substantial
statesmen have been unable to &C.
complish. He has created demand
for the Congressional Record. This
venerable sheet appears to have scor.
cd scoop or something. At any
rate, the issue of October 22nd is in
great demand. Everybody wants to
know what it was Representative
Blanton put into the paper to make
it too naughty to be mailable. Like
wise, it brought out a resolution call
ing for the expulsion Of the irate
Texan from the halls of Congress.
The incident may have one helpful
effect. II may result in placing a
limitation on what a Congressman
may insert in the Record under the
"leave-to-print" prerogatiye. 1t would
be we'll if this were wholly forbidden,
The Congressional Record is nothing
but dull masquerade at best. I'll
purports to be an official record Of
the proceedings of Congress, but the
bulk of it is made up Of speeches and
communications that are never made
or delivered in Congress. 1t is al
fraud on the face Of it. Some Con-
gresham who cannot talk coherently
about the weather viii be given leave
to print and in the next issue of the
Record will appear a powerful and
well-ordered argument for some great
reform. 1t will be written
by some literary secretary, but will
appear as the spontaneous outburst
of the dull Representative from Osh-
kosh. Frequently the congressman
have the audacity to insert brack-
eted applause" at occasional inter-
walls in the speech that was never de-
Iivcred. The whole system is so silly
and ridiculous that none but the
American people would calmly endure
it. If the blatant offense of Congress-
nan Blanton could result in either the
abolition or reformation of the Rec
ord it would be one of the finest |
Kings that ever happened.

FUR AND STOCKINGS

The fur-tipped stocking is said to
be quite the fashion for the fall and
winter season. The rolled stocking,
with its band of mink or moleskin, is
declared to be very fetching. In fact,
it will fetch almost anybody. Some
seasons back Virginia Rape made
something of stir with the fur gar
ters she brought from Paris. The
fur-topped stocking is said to be in
direct line. The fox, the lynx, the
squirrel and the skunk are all being
shorn to adorn our ladies. The bare
skin we have with us always. The
danes Of Boston and Providence may
wear sealskin socks on the strength of
their wintry seasons. The girls in
Mississippi do not have the same eX-
cusc, but who ever saw a Mississippi
girl who needed an excuse? When
stockings are rolled down the ques-
ton is not how far, but what fur?

TRUTH IN A NUT SHELL

Some folks say that prohibition is
failure because the law is constant
ly being violated. BY the same token,
the laws against murder, arson, bur-
glary, etc, is also a failure. Nobody
expected to accomplish the absolute
adjustment of the rum traffic within
the short time that National prohibit
ton has been in effect All the same
the quantity of liquors manufactured
and consumed has already been ma
terially reduced, and in like measure
the sum total Of misery, poverty,
wretchedness and drunken depravity
have been reduced. Old booze heads,
like opium addcts, are not going to
quit as long as alcoholic drinks can
be had; but prohibition is having the
effect of saving the young generation
from the temptation of the legalized
traffic.

Il 1T 0 RI AL
WELL DONE, HUNGARY!

Royalty's sun has set in Hungary Democracy
has scored what appears to be final triumph
over monarchical despotism. The last reignng
Hapsburg and his Queen failed miseraby in their
attempt to regain the throne from which they
were hurled when the Central Powers collapsed
before the onrush Of the armies of the free peo-
plies of the world They are now prisoners Of
war at the mercy of the republican government
which they sought to overthrow.
The hope reposed by other nations in the people
Of Hungary has not been deceived few, still
blinded by the dazzle of royalty, sought to re-
turn to their chains but when the test came they
proved to be but slender minority. Hungary
is free. Her new government passed through its
blood baptism and emerged in triumph, Her PEG
pie now know that there is a force behind rep
resentative government superior to that of des-
potc dominion. The unified will of the many is
stronger than that of any individual.
Hungary has proved its right to place in the
sun. Two years ago her people sustained the
shock of Bolshevism Bella Kun, with his man
date from Petrograd, Secured a momentary
trump and Communism seemed to be in the as
tendency. But, before the stern resistance of the
Hungarian people, the forces of the Reds were
soon scattered. Hungary stood for freedom, but
not for license.
Then came the final assault of royalty Former
Emperor Charles rallied to his standard the mill
tary power that for two centuries had supported
the Hapsburgs. Many officers of the old army
betrayed the republic and led their troops under
the old standard of the Hapsburgs For a brief
period it looked from a distance as though they
might be successful But the collapse came with
a startling suddenness. At the first reverse the
morale of the royal troops was broken. Traitors
are only fair-weather fighters. They may be rash,
but they are lacking in valor. Confronted by the
stern battling of the patriot army, their enthus-
asm eyaporated and they took to their heels.
History has recorded another triumph for self
government. 1t becomes daily more evident that
the world has advanced to a stage where people
can no longer be governed against their will The
Hungarian people were looked upon as being more
inclined TO monarchical forms than any others in
