The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1922-01-05

OF life a peculiarly bitter form Of exile.
Madeira, compared with st. Helena, is an earthly
paradise. Madeira, the Portuguese word for 'for-
est" is directly in the Atlantic ocean trade routes
and thus is kept in daily touch with the outside
world. The island, 400 miles west of Morocco, has
a temperate climate. 1t is II miles wide and IS
miles long and elliptical In shape. Three other
islands nearby complete the Madeira group. There
is a population of 17O,O0o. Funchal, the chief city,
has a population Of more than, 10000, and the is
land produces famous wine, as we'll as an album
dance of fruits, grains and sugar. Oxen are MAIN
ly used for agriculture, instead Of draft horses
and other farming methods are primitive 1t is
nearly always summer there. The island is
volcanic and it's scenery is on a magnificent
scale. So the island is famous as a health
resort. Visitors remember the sleds drawn by
oxen, runners being used instead of wheels be-
cause of the PERCEPTIONS streets, and the novel
experience of coasting down a street paved with
stone.
What of Hungary's future? Though the Haps-
burg dynasty has been Ousted and Charles Is in
exile. there are other Hapsburgs. General Lehar,
who was Charles Hungarian supporter in the Octo-
her fasco, has disappeared; his brother Franz, Vien-
nese composer OF the merry Widow is searching
for him. Admiral Nicholas Horthy is regent of
Hungary and Hungary apparently wants a mon
archy and may make him emperor.
Ferenc Vecsey, the Hungarian violinist now in
this country, is a cousin of Regent Horthy. He
says:
Hungary desires a monarchy, but not a Haps-
burg monarchy. To understand the way my peo-
pie feel, you must remember that government and
religions In their country 60 hand in hand. Ours
was an apostolic monarchy. The ruler wore the
crown Of st. Stephen. -'-
"But the Hapsburg family Is thoroughly hated.
It is decadent house. What Hungary needs is new
blood. Admiral Horthy represents the people. He
has their interests at heart. He lis clean, ener-
getic, patriotic and endowed with d strong charac-
ter. lie has completely reorganized the army.
1.-The carving up Of Hungary only can result in
discomfort. We have lost 10 100000 of our popula-
ton, although many have drifted back to the little
Hungary and are living in wagons, In railroad sta
tons, everywhere. The present arrangement can
not be permanent We must be given back our
territory, and II necessary, for the maintenance of
peace, an autonomy could be created of a part Of
Hungary, where each of the many nations living
there could speak Its own language. Then Hun
gary, her integrity restored, should join the little
entente. Az It is now, she is isolated"
Does Regent Horthy want to be emperor? APP
parently not. anyway, he has a position without
precedent-al the functions and authority Of a
king without the title. As everyone knows, he was
a leading figure In the war. With the outbreak Of
the revolution which resulted lin the Hungarian
republic under Kar0lyi, he retired to his estates.
Bnt he came back from private life to oppose the
Bolshevists. Parliament made him regent In 1920
and since then has been holding fhe reins OF gov
ernment, never knowing what the morrow may
bring forth. 4
