OF course "the woman did It," That
Is to say, former Empress Zlta Is
blamed as the moving spirit IN her
husbands second futile attempt to re-
gain the throne Of Hungary. 1t was
spectacular, and interesting while 1t
lasted, and for short time there was
some chance for its success. Karl
and Zita flew across Austria In an air.
plane, landed In Burgenland and sum-
moned the faithful. The royalists,
headed by Count AndrasSy and Rakov-
sky. who abandoned his office as
premier. flocked to Karl's support and
proclaimed him king. and he and Iita
declared their venture must terminate
In victory or death. Well, 1t was not
victory, and 1t was, as usual, death
only for the poor misguided soldiers
who fought In their behalf. Regent
Horthy sent all available troops out
to meet the royallsts as they advanced
on Budapest, and after n battle Mt
Tota Tovaros, In which several hun
dreds were killed, Karl and Zlta, to-
gether with Rakovsky, Andrnssy,
Prince Wlndlsch- Graetz and the other
leaders. We're taken prisoners near
Komorn. The ey-royal couple were
informed In an ancient Benedlctine
abbey at TIFFANY and the others were
locked up to await trial and punish
ment.
As soon as Karl landed In Hungary
the members Of the little entente, es-
peclally CZechosl0vakia. began mobil-
izing to Illustrate his plan, and the
greater allied powers also were ac-
tive in other ways But Horthy at
tended to the attempted coup without
their aid. The little entente, however,
has demanded that Hungary pay the
cost of mobilization and give guaran-
tees of the disarmament of Hungary,
and also II reC'lres that Karl be sur
rendered to II or TO the allies. What
disposal to make Of the troublesome
couple is worrying the powers. A
suggestion that they be exiled on
some remote island has been rejected
rs giving them too much importance.
Switzerland says they cannot return
there, and Spain has not offered TO
take care of them.
Regent Horthy announced he would
soon convoke the assembly for the
purpose Of electlng king of Hun
gary, and 1t was believed that he him
self stood n good chance of being
chosen for the position.

Representative Thomas L. Blanton
Of Texas, who at various times has
made himself most Objectionable to
other members Of congress, narrowly
escaped expulsion last week because,
under permission to print an undeliv-
cred speech, he had inserted In the
Congressional Record an affidavit con-
tanning vile and obscene language.
Congressman Mondell presented the
resolution Of expulsion and II fell only
eight votes short Of the requisite two
thirds. Then, on motion Of Representa-
tive Garrett Of Tennessee. the Texan
was publicly reprimanded by Speaker
Gillett. Those who have had the dubi-
GUS privilege Of reading the document
which Blanton had printed In the Rec
ord win think that he was let of with
less punishment than he deserved.

Strike Of Railway BrotherhoodS
Called Off Because Of Ger

BY EDWARD W. PlcKARD
"RaIIway strlke called oft.'

halfway SlTlht Cultu vi.
The entire country heayed sigh
of relief Friday morning when it
read that headline in the papers.
Confronted with certain failure for
the walkout, and with arrest and pros
ecution by the government for them
selves on charges Of conspiracy. the
heads of the five brotherhoods and the
railway telegraphers got together late
Thursday night and wisely concluded TO
decide that the satisfactory agree
ment" which they required had been
reached. Almost unanimously, they
voted to call the strike off, and the
resembling order was wired to head
quarters in Cleveland and thence
throughout the country.
1--WE couldn't strike against the gov
ernment," said l.. Z. Sheppard, head
Of the conductors. 'As the situation
developed, we found that in striking
we would not be hitting the people we
wanted to hit, the railroads, but would
be fighting the government. 1t was
never our purpose TO combat the gov
ernment."
The fact Is that, without the sup
port Of the standard unions, refused
by ten of the eleven, and with the
government determined to maintain
transportation and 10 prosecute the
leaders of strike, the movement was
doomed to ultimate collapse. More
over. the big five were not wholly in
favor Of striking, for the trainmen's
brotherhood preferred peace. The sat
isfactory agreement" consisted in the
statement Of the railway labor board
that II had decided some time ago, that
"the submissions of carriers and EN-
ployees on rules and working condi-
tons shall be completely disposed Of
as to any particular class of employ
ees before Il hearing is had on any
question Of wages affecting said class
OF employees on any carrier covered
by Decision No. l4h
1.-THE rules governing any class of
employees will be deemed to have been
completely disposed of when the board
has passed upon all the submissions
affecting said class, either by decision
of disputed rules or by referring them
back to a conference of the carrier
and employees"
Principal credit for averting strike
which would have been disastrous
even though not successful for the
workers is given to three men. These
are Ben w. Hooper and W. L. Nc
Menimen Of the labor board the
former Of the public group and the
latter of the labor group, and w. G.
Lee. chief Of the tralnmen. The two
board members worked like nailers
day and night TO bring about peace,
and the public statements and private
arguments of Mr.. Lee did much to lead
his confreres TO the stand they final
ly adopted.

Nap for 35.
What mother could dream CT put
ting 55 children to sleep Tor nap
after luncheon? Yet that is done
successfully every day at the nur-
sery. From to O'Clock the place
is perfectly still while the sand man
holds sway. No child will be taken
into the nursery during the day, He
must have been entered before 9
a. IN.
Visitors are welcomed at any time
any day except during this nap
period.
These children belong to widows
who must work, or TO wiIowers who
are not able to employ housekeepers
in their own homes while they go
out to earn living. Whenever a
child comes from home where
beth parents are working special
investigation is made and extenu-
ating circumstances must be proven
before the Day nursery will accept
him.
Small Charge.
The charge made the parent or
parents varies according to the in
come and ranges from 10 to 20 cents
a day, which by no means covers the
actual cost. The deficit must be
supplied in some other way. The
National League for Women's Serv-
ice, which sponsors the nursery, is
planning a white elephant sale in the
fall to help raise funds fer the cause.
Friends of Nursery.
I'VE could not possibly have car
ried on this work." said Mrs. Smith,
"had it not been for donations re-
ceived. The ]. Burns Bread COM
pany supplies the nursery with
bread without charge, and the Etch-
ison Ice company donates all the ice
needed. DIR. Kathleen Sullivan gives
gratuitous medical service. The
building occupied is the offering of
the T. R. Kimballs.
A visit to the nursery is convinc-
ing CT the high standards and fine
ness of the work and suggests the
great possibility OF a day nursery in
Omaha if adequate funds can be
secured.

There has been some cessation OF
Midsummer social festivities during
the unprecedented heat in spite of the
visits and arrivals of many important
new officials. Even the diplomats
who usually remain here as long as
congress is sitting, have many OF
them succumbed to the call OF the
sea and mountains, and gone hither
for respite.
The president and Mrs. Harding
remain true to the word of the pres
ident some weeks ago that he would
remain here while there was business
to transact. They have their daily
visitors and guests and take their
outings on the Mayfower, where
Mrs. Harding has her tea parties
now in preference to the south porti-
co of the White House. On Tues

tol to hear the president make his
speech to congress and on Thursday
afternoon she had as her guests at
tea and for a sail on the Mayfower
the women newspaper writers of
Washington, whom she had enter
tanned before, first at tea in her own
home just after the presidents nomi-
nation, and then shortly after the in
auguration, at a tea in the White
House. Tuesday, before she went to
the capitol, Mrs. Harding had as her
guests at luncheon Miss Lands of
Cleveland and Miss Laura Harlan,
both of whom accompanied her to
the capitol. Wednesday DR.. ]. F.
Stephan. Mr.. Michael Gallagher and
Carmi Thompson, all of Cleveland,
had luncheon with the president and
Mrs. Harding.
The advent of the new chief JUS
tice this week occasioned little rip
pie of festivity for those few days.
On Monday evening he dined with
the president and Mrs. Harding at
the White House Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty and one or two per-
sonal friends were the other guests.
Mrs. Hitchcock. wife of the sena-
tor from Omaha, is in Atlantic City

OF eastern resorts, where she will
make visits.

of Representative M. 0. McLaugh-
lin of York, Neb, was a delegate to
the Christian Endeavor convention
