Hungary a Monarchy
But Lacks a Ruler

Are some Hungarian elements plan
ming to bring the Hapsburgs back?
Hungary is now a monarchy without
king. Admiral Nicholas Horthy is
regent, but the presence of a regent
logically means A temporary condi-
ton while awaiting an opportune time
to place a king on the throne.
There are rumors that behind the
formation of a house of peers EN-.
powered to elect a regent is the in.
tention to pick a Hapsburg living in
Hungary to succeed Horthy, prelim-
mary to placing another HapsburR on
the, throne. Count Albert Apponyi
supports Prince Otto, son of the late
King Charles, for the throne and OPP
poses the creation of house of peers.
The legitimists are not quite so OPP
timistic since Admiral Horthy is
showing no inclination to place Otto
at least on the throne. However,
most Hungarians are for standing pat
while there is much reconstruction
work To be done.

cago of China'0 and various interior
points, the American communities are
largely made up of missionaries and
their families.
The Coolidge administra tons con.
Germ at this hour is aroused to large
extent by the danger that the Can
tonese nationalist Drive may reach
Shanghai, with direct menace to the
vast American life and property inter
ests centered there. The Cantonese
military forces long have marked that
great international port, metropolis
of 1000, 900 with extensive foreign
settlements as their prize objective.
Communists Active.
Russian Communist activities are
VIGOROUSLY responsible for much OF
the new antiforeign fury In emma.
The Canton government employs
Soviet advisers. while innumeraole
young Chinese Nationalist lead
ers have become inoculated with
the virus of bolshevisnl. Part of
the Nationalist plan of campaign is
to send professional agitators along
with the advancing Cantonese troops.
These soap;box artists preach in in
flammatory language the gospel that
the root cause of all China's trials and
tribulations is the exploiting for
eigner.
There are other agitators whose
task it is to unionize the hordes of
Chinese coolie labor of all kinds
There is a special effort to incite and
organize house servants, upon whom
China's thousands of foreign residents
so largely depend in their homes and
businesses. Servants in British EN-
ploy have been singled out for at
tention. A British resident, for in
stance. finds it impossible to get
Chinese to build his fires, do his cook
ing, or even sell him the necessities
of life in shop. No Chinese rick
shaw man will transport a Britisher.
Gradually this sort of thing has spread
to other foreigners. and, on account
of similarity of language. Americans
have come to suffer almost as griev
ously as British.
Picking Rule Weak.
The grand central objective of the
Cantonese Nationalist, of course, is
the achievement of power at Peking
and the establishment of their sway
over all that the world today knows
as China. At Picking, at the moment,
only the vestige of a Chinese govern.
ment" exists. If the Cantonese forces
were to advance deeply into the north,
Picking eventually might fall easy prey
to them. The ancient capital is ruled
by whichever tu-chun war lord) hap
pens to command in the Province of
Chih-li, but its authority is very cir
cumscribed.
The United States continues to deal
with no other Chinese government
than the shadow regime which pre-.
tends to be in power at Peking Our
lie to
that makes for the disintegration of
China. But how long this attitude
can be maintained, in the presence of
Kaleidoscope events now transpiring,
remains to be seen.

President Of the U. s. Chamber of Commerce.
The time has come to remove the
obstacles that prevent further prog
ress in railroad consolidation. It Is
now seven years since Congress, in
the transportation act said to the In
terstate Commerce Commission, in
substance:
1--WE authorize you to permit all of
the railroads in the country to con-
solidate into a few large systems.
Plan this work in the public interest.
Preserve competition. Maintain ex-
listing routes and channels of trade
and commerce. Develop consolidated
systems that will be as nearly as pos
sible equal in strength and in earn
ing power
congress adopted this policy In
1920. Since then the commission has
made a persistent effort 10 prepare
the comprehensive plan called for by
the act. 1t first mapped out tenta-
tive. plan for railroad consultations
and then held public hearings on this
Man in all parts of the country, at
which representatives OF the rail-
roads. the shippers and the general
public had full opportunity to express
their views.
These hearings have built up on
cornpara BILE basis a record of facts that

Too many Of US have a dis
torted notion Of great men; we

fact, the great man is precisely
like ourselves, a mixture Of sue
cess and failure, Of Joy and deep
depression. And very often II
we would study him upon the
side Of his failure, we might
learn more useful lessons than
those that his successes teach.
No greater genius existed in
his generation than Michelanaelo.
With such magnificent abilities
he should have been q happy

himself even the ordinary COM

temperament inherited from his
father, but chiefly in this fatal
weakness--he never had the
spiritual courage to say mol"

piled.
Newton might have served on
a hundred committees; he might
have invented a patent churn;
he might have made some
money in the stock market in
those years when he was "con-
stantly thinking" about gravita-
ton. But he held himself firm
to his single purpose, and did

diversions.
It's a curious fact that most
children learning to talk can say

find it so easy to say yes and
almost impossible to say no.
In that fact lies the secret Of
