Washington, April 16.-The specta-
cular failure of Charles to reestablish
himself and the House of Hapsburgs
ON the Hungarian throne brings into
sharp relief two divergent groups in
present day Hungary, according TO
Maynard owen Williams, representa-
tive of the National Geographic Society,
who recently visited Hungary during a
trans-European and Asiatic tour made
especially to study new countries ana
collect picture material for the society.
The bulletin issued from the Wash
ington. headquarters Of the National
Geographic Society summarizes COM
munications from Mr.. Williams as fol-
lows:
Hungary encloses the largest plain
in Europe and although there is some
marshy land and barren territory with
in the confines of the new kingdom,
which has survived the diplomatic ma
chinery of Neuilly, Admiral Horthy has
had under his regency one Of the rich
est and most productive agricultural
areas in Europe.
"A year ago, during the economic
boycott which closed the Austro-Hun-
garian frontier, the geographical diff
ference between industrial Austria and
agricultural Hungary was especially
accentuated In Vienna, food was
scare and dear. Well dressed people
were living on utterly inadequate food
and even the foreigner, whose buying
power was vastly increased by the eX-
change rate, could not secure milk or
sugar in his tea nor butter for his
bread.
Women Forced to Simple Fashions
Although Budapest is only n day S
run down the Danube, conditions there
were reversed White bread conld be
bought throughout the city nj reason
able rates. Vegetables, fruits and meats
were cheap. But Of manufactured ar
ticles there was 4 great dearth. The
Budapest women, who have n taste and
skin in dress which surpasses that of
Parlsiennes, were forced to wear the
planest Of white cotton dresses,
though these detIacted little from their
fresh type Of dark beauty.
Since the war, Budapest has been
the tail which has wagged the Hun
garian dog. The peasants have been
little interested in the politics of the
capital and the Horthy regime had
smooth sailing while cheap food last
ed. Hungary has had full share OF
political disturbances and revolutions
in her history and although the ter
rible Peasant Rising Of 1914 was stern
ly repressed, the Hungarian peasant
has shown his power and liberalism on
many an occasion. At n recent meet
ing Of the National Agricultural Fed
Grafton Of Hungary. the audience greet
ed q reference TO monarchical sue
cession with the cries Of Down with
the Hapsburgsl' and Give us re-
public againn
Reason for Migration TO America
Less than one-fourth of the Hun
garian people live in cities Of more
than ten thousand and a strong cur
rent in the flood of American immigra-
ton has been caused by the unwilling
ness Of the poverty stricken peasants TO
till rich soil and in turn be oppressed
by city dwellers.
Although the Hungarian capital is
hest known as Budapest, the Pesth
quarter of the city is by far the most
important and Old Buda is only small
section across the Danube, on the right
hank. The castle is also situated on
the same side Of the river and from the
palace grounds one has a fine birds
eye view of the handsome city, with
the fine Gothic Parliament Building
