FORMER EMPRESS
RECEIVES BLAME

OF course "the woman did it," That
is to say, former Empress Zita 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, fiocked to Karl's support and
proclaimed him king, and he and Zita
declared their venture must terminate
in victory or death. Well, it was not
victory, and it 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 a battle at
Tota Tovaros, in which several hun
dreds were killed. Karl and Zita, to-
gether with Rakovsky. Andrassy,
Prince WindiSch- Graetz and the other
leaders, were taken prisoners near
Komorn. The ex-royal couple were
informed in an ancient Benedictine
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-
pecially Czechoslovakia, 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-
fees of the disarmament of Hungary.
and also it requires that Karl be sur
rendered to it-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
as 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 electing "A king of Hun
gary and it was believed that he him
self stood good chance of being
chosen for the position.

France Backs BRAND

Premier BRAND of France success
fully passed through one of the sever
est tests to which he has been put,
withstood q fierce attack by Tardieu
and others of his bitter opponents, and
received from the chamber of deputies
the vote of confidence which he re-
auired as a mandate to represent
France in the conference on limitation
of ornaments. Belief in the sincerity
of President Harding in seeking reduc-
tion of ornaments led the radical So
clalists TO support BRAND, and the
vote stood 1881 for the premier and 1855
against him He intimated that his pol
lev in Washington would be that which
has been predicted in this review,
saying: "If France obtains reliable
guarantees for her territory she Is
willing to approve of the disarmament
arrangements"

RAILWAY strike called on
The entire country heaved 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
eminent" said L. f. 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

BERT THOMAS FOR THE
FARMERS

Mr. Thomas understands and sym
pathizes with the agriculturist. In
one of the largest and
most responsible feed and flour mills
in Hunterdon County Tor years, he
has been in close touch with thous-
ands of farmers, and thru his bust
ness dealings has learned their prob
lens which are really his problems
as we'll
Mr.. Thomas realizes how much
you are suffering under the present
unreasonable tax burdens and knows
that if elected he could help you
because he would be a member of
the majority party, and the passage
of helpful legislation, such as bills
designated to give Hunterdon more
aid for roads and schools, depends
upon favorable action by the major
ity. His opponent is not in harmony
with the Democratic minority led by
Governor Edwards and Jim" NJ
gent, would therefore, be against all
and with none.
The results would be that he could
accomplish little, if anything. You
need action, not words!
Some of the farmers are urged
to support Mr.. Agans because he
has been a lecturer in the State
Grange. Most farmers know as much
about farming as does Mr.. Agans,
and do not need to be told how to
farm by him. What they DO need
is active, productive effort on the
part of their representatives to the
end that their burden may be light
ened. Mr.. Thomas can be depended
upon to help you.

NOT SOUGHT
ON FORGED TEEL BONDS

The Teel Irrigation District has not
been called upon to pay interest on
any of the 500 600 or more in forged
bonds, issued by Milholland * Hough,
defalcating Spokane investment broll-
ers, the books of Miss Grace a. Gil
liam, county treasurer and eX-officio
treasurer for the district, show. Miss
Gillian today checked over her rec
ords and found that the interest pay
ments do not indicate that any inter
est coupons of the worthless dupli-
Gates have come to the office here.
Request was made by her today of
the Spokane county district attorneys
office, however, for list Of the buy
ers of the various bonds of the dis
trict, which were purchased original
ly by the Spokane firm. There We're
$4,000 in bonds sold and probably
100000 more forged, SO the work OF
checking up on genuine and forged
ones will be something of task, Miss
Gillian says.
J. Frank Spinning. Of Echo, secre-
tary OF the district, came to Pendleton
last evening and when shown his sig
nature on bond No 2S6. sent here by
the prosecuting attorney at Spokane
declared it a forgery. AIR. Spinning
expressed the opinion that the district
would not be any the loser as the re-
suit of the bond houses actions. So
far. he believes. the district has not
lost, because John r. NIilholland.
