the owner being unknown. According
10 Roman law, treasure found by a
man 10 his own land belonged to the

Great Britain treasurc-trove belongs

Grown, however, IS in the practice OF
paving 10 the finder the value of the

Prague the Envy
Of Central Europe
By Lloyd Allen.

Prague. ,by Mail.) Beautiful
Prague is the envy of all Central
Europe.
This is because of the strong econ
omic position of Czecho.Slovakia as
compared to the remainder of this
part of the world
The Czechs have great factories;
highly educated population; very
efficient government and great nation.
al wealth in the form of mines, for.
ests and agriculture.
Their sugar crop. for example, will
total 100000 tons this year and there
is a serious sugar shortage over most
of the European continent
Wherefore the starving towns of
Vienna. Warsaw and Budapest think
Prague is a lucky town.
Although the fact that the Czechs
are better OF than the rest OF their
neighbors. everything is not exactly
as It should be. There are plenty
of things to worry about from the
point of view of Prague.
For example, the country must
maintain big army at huge expense,
to curb any sudden warlike move on
the part of Hungary and also guard
the valuable Teschen coal basin from
Polish aggression.
Furthermore there is very trouble
some job here keeping the 10000
hundred per cent Germans from max
ing trouble. The Germans bitterly
resent Czech rule-a viewpoint the
Czechs don't worry about in the least.
remembering the hundreds of years
the Czechs were oppressed by Ger
man-Austrian rule.
President Masaryk. who happens to
be the George Washington of this
sturdy country. lives in huge palace
dominating Prague. using only few
of the 500 rooms while other portions
of the gigantic buildings have been
assigned workers families because
of the housing shortage.
While the food supplies of Czecho-
Sloyakia are almost adequate for the
support of the country, poor distri.
button causes much suffering, mainly
in Sloyakia and Ruthenia
And there is not enough food in
Bohemia, Moravia and SILICA, where
100000 tons Of fats and 10000 tons
Of other foods win have to be bought
outside the country this year
Three years ago this hard work
ing little country was part of the
great Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
while German proprletors owned al.
most one-third of all the cultivated :
land and acted as henchmen of the
Hapsburgs. One OF the first things |
the newly created Czech government
did was to pass legislation that broke |
up these estates, comprising 1900
square miles.
The Czechs are depending on
America for great supplies OF cotton.
Everywhere in the country there
is a lack OF sympathy FOR the plight
Of Vienna. because the people can.
not forget the centuries when viennn
tatteued and grew rich at the expense
Of the czechs, as well as the other
smaller nationalities OF that once
great Austrian empire. However. the
hatred against Vienna is cooling some
what pr. renes. the czeeho-sloyalda
foreign minister, has recommended
neighborly relations with
Vienna IN the not distant future.

Vienna Dying
of Starvation
BY Lloyd Allen.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent }
Vienna. tBy Maill-In Vienna you
never see cat or dog. They disap.
peared more than year ago; eaten
by the starving population.
The cats and dogs would have starv.
ed to death anyway, the viennese will
tell you-elimination of pets was
good economy.
Today there are thousands In this
town that have not eaten meat of
any kind for many months. It's too
expensive; even horse meat is be.
yond the purse OF any except the we'll

Vienna Is city OF about 100000
cut off from the food OF the surround
ing Austrian provinces because the
Autrian money is valueless. Why
should farmer sell his scanty stocks
of eggs and grain for paper currency
that is worthless 1t will not buy
warm clothing, hosiery and so forth,
except for outrageous prices. Today
an outfit of clothing for an ordinary
family costs 10000 kronen. At the
normal value Of the kronen, that
means $4,000 in American money.
Nobody but the ultra-rich can live
in ordinary comfort in Vienna. The
professional people-doctors, lawyers,
musicians, are worse of than the day
laborers, because salaries have not
advanced in keeping with the advance
of wages.
Literally, Vienna is dying rapidly.
Once a florishing Industrial city
largest In the Austro- Hungarian
monarchy-is today n town of smoke.
less chimneys and stunned. starving
people.
The cost of living for a family of
four, as worked out in careful es.
innate, shows 5000 kronen as the re.
quirment for one month. This would
mean from IS to so. according to the
present value OF the kronen.
The income OF most families is
under 5000 kronen per month, so
that it only half meets the cost of
expenses for food and lodging, much
less buying clothing.
The death rate Of 1874 per thousand
is the highest for any city In Europe.
While the birth rate for the same
period was 1917 per thousand, so that
the deaths were more numerous than
births.
On December LIST. the government

was inaugurated. subsl.

Of l-5OO,o0O,000 kronen monthly. But
the system failed miserably. because

ARE too high for the people. One

wide margin to earn its dividends. ac-
cording to the balance sheet made pub
lie yesterday The net profits were s624.-

900 in 1920. against s305. 5.997 900 in 1919.
The company sustained heavy losses in
Europe as a result of the big declines in
foreign exchanges. After the armistice,
e. A. Cudahy. the president said. the
company made large consignments of It's
products to Europe. and. due to the sub

and to price regulation and other re-
strictive measures by foreign govern

losses. These losses he said. have been
absorbed through an adjustment of STIR
