The Csrlists in Hungary.

The Council OF Ambassadors, ac-
cording to an announcement from
Paris, has at last decided to mediate
the differences between Austria and
Hungary over the troublesome little
strip Of frontier territory known as
Burgenland. Information received a
few days ago from Prague was to
the effect that the Czecho-Slovak

who had been striving for settle
ment of the controversy from the
time Of the first Hungarian invasion
OF Austria, had succeeded in bring
ing about an understanding between
the two disputants and had received
a promise from Admiral HoRTHY's
Government OF the withdrawal of the
Hungarians under stated conditions.
The action of the Council is I'M
doubtedly due largely to this prelim-
mary work OF DR.. BENEs.
The Council, IL 1t Is to hold to the
terms of the Treaty OF Trianon, has
scarcely any other course open than
to demand that Hungary disperse the
warlike bands which have occupied
the country and leave the Austrians
to set up a peaceful administration.
The suggestion is offered by DR..
BENEs that Austria cede to Hungary
the border town OF Oedenburg, and
this 1t is believed will be done In OK
change for economic concessions.
The reason that so much stress Is
placed upon this settlement is be.

is unsurpassed and probably is "the
best disciplined and equipped army
in the world"
But the technical perfection Of
this well balanced and highly eff
cient machine is not the only thing
which makes it OF extraordinary i'm
portance in world affairs. The Japa-
nese army is the overshadowing in
fluence in home matters, not merely
military but political, social and
even economic. And the control Of

Perhaps, by reason of their precise
information as to the war power and
financial resources Of other nations,
these military leaders, one might
say dictators, of Japan are sincerely
no less than zealously bent upon a
model home defence army. But home
defence with Japan, as with the
other world Powers of the first rank,
now includes millions of square
miles Of territory distant from the
home land by many leagues.
| Under these circumstances there
is no statesman whose country's rela-
lions and interests are not confined
to one side of the globe who does
not give close consideration to the
already developed Japanese army as
to the rapidly advancing Japanese
navy.

Where Dante Sleeps.
Secret Of His Empty Tomb Kept
for 300 Years.
FROM the Saturday Reuic,c.

From the Saturday .Reutctc.
Dante Alighieri died on the fourteenth
day OF September In the year OF Christ
one thousand three hundred and twenty
one: on the day whereon the exatation
OF the holy cross Is celebrated by the
church, as Boccaccio tells. And he adds
that the great hearted knight, Guido
NoveIlo da Polenta, placed the body OF
Dante. adorned with the insignia OF a
poet, upon a funeral bier and caused 1t
to be borne upon the shoulders OF the
chief citizens Of Ravenna to the house
OF the friars of St Francis. Had for
tune been willing, Guido would have
honored his friend with tomb so splcn-
did that. n no other merit kept Dantc's
name alive. this memorial would have
done so.
Boccaccio wrote his life Of Dante
about I34s. Already there was a de-
sire among the more enlightened Flor
entines that Justice should be done to
the memory OF the poet whom they had
exiled in life. In 1896. scventy-fvc
years after Dantes death. the Floren-
tines made a formal request to Ravenna
for the return of all that remained OF

Policemen in Wal Street.

The evidence given before the
Meyer investigating committee indi-
Gates that a policeman does better in
Wall Street after he has left the de-
partment.
We see Police Commissioners En-
RIGHT making profit Of only $4,000
In Morton Pete: piffling, though it
was bought for him at 81 share
on a day when ordinary customers
had to pay S4.25 share.
We see Inspector DoMINIcK HENRY
taking down only $3.50 in one trans
action which involved the purchase
of stocks costing $4,000. We SEQ
him asking "gratuity" Of $500 at a
time when he was obliged 20 send
$4,000 to Wall Street to cover his
accounts.
Compare with these cases the brill
liant financial career Of former In
spector EDWARD P. HUGHES.
Before Mr.. HUGHES retired from
the Police Department in 1918 his
account with Allan A. Ryan & Co.
(the brokerage house which bought
Morton Pete at 50 for Commissioner
ESRIGHT) was only $1,000.
In 1919 Mr.. HUGHEs's account with
the same brokers had rolled up to
S115,O0o. His business as private
detective reached such prosperity
that Stevedore AUprToRE paid him
$105,000 in three years.
Is It any wonder that Mr.. HUGHES
was able to buy fine house in the
country and to fling aside, as out
landish," the overcoat which Steve
dore AUDrroRE had sent to him as
a present?
All these facts go to show that a
policeman-whether he be the Com
missioner or a patrolman--ought to
do better in Wall Street If he retires
from the department. He may quit
on a neat pension, as Mr.. HUGHES
did, or he may just walk out and
take chance.
And wouldn't it be much better for
the Police Department and the city
of New York if they could be rid OF
these specializing geniuses and have
their jobs taken over by some fel.
lows who are interested in doing po-
lice work and not bent upon rolling
up Wall Street fortunes?

No Draft of Fishes.

Between IL A. M. and 1870 P. M.
on September IL members of the
Paris Fishing Club ranged them.
selves along the banks Of the Seine
to compete for the cash prizes offered
annually by that club for the best
catch Of the day. The largest fish
caught weighed half pound and the
whole catch of the $40 fishermen
weighed only twelve pounds. If any
considerable number of devotees of
the art of angling had to content
themselves with the philosophy of
the old adage ut is not all of fishing
to catch fish" it surely was the mem
bers Of the Paris Fishing Club on
that unrewarded day in September.
The fishermen of the Seine may
not be great for the records of their
catches. But they have adorned
many fair pages in books. STEVEN
SON waxed lyrical over them in "An
Inland Voyage" On the Willebroek
Canal he noted.
But even more conservative we're

floats. who let us go by without a
glance. They were Indifferent, like
pieces OF dead nature. They did not
move any more than If they had been
fishing in an old Dutch print You
might have trepanned every one of
their innocent heads and found no
more than so much colled fishing line
below their skulls. do
dearly love the class of man who
plies his unfruitful art forever and
a day by still and depopulated
waters"
And again he observes Of these
French fishermen.
They seemed stupehed with con-
tentment; and when we induced them
to exchange few words with us
about the weather their voices
sounded quiet and far away"
He declares.
AN angler Is an important piece
OF river scenery and his quiet pres
ence serves to acccntuate the solitude
and stiffness and remind you OF the
glittering citizens below your boat"
To Rob Roy" MAcGREGoR these
Seine fishermen were a puzzle until
he came to this conclusion about
them.
1T Is not to catch fish these men
sit there; and the only reasonable
explanation ] can find of the phc-
nomenon is that all these meek and
lone fishermen are husbands unhappy
at home"
