NEW STATES ARE FACING DANGER Conditions in Eastern Europe Are Disturbing. Ml ARE TORN BY INTRIGUE ■United States Official Gives an intimate View of the Situation After Careful Study—Struggle for Power on Part of Cliques and Individuals Sure to Bring Change—Hungary Will Starve This Winter. An intimate view of conditions in eastern Europe is given by an American official just back from a tour through Poland, Czechoslovakia and Austria, and later a visit to the Hun- „ garian capital at Budapest. He says: B “It seems inevitable that changes I must occur in the governments of all these new states of Europe. None of them is stable. Everywhere is the intrigue and struggle for power and place on the part of cliques and individuals, and beneath is the unrest of the masses. National independence has not brought Utopia and constitutions do not furnish bread. “In Poland a strong opposition to Mr. Paderewski has developed. Besides this Poland will suffer from acute hunger this winter. Her people are supporting an army out of all proportion to the population to guard her frontiers, and any incident may bring a clash with the Czechs or Germans. The-Teschen question is acute and both countries are aflame. I doubt if a plebiscite will settle it satisfactorily or permanently. Czechoslovakia in Ferment. “In Czechoslovakia there is strong opposition to the present government, which lacks strength in its personnel. The danger there- lies, however, more in the growing jealousy of the Slavs, They have been very thoroughly spb» ordinated and resent the arrogant attitude of the Bohemians proper. A Kain, the drastic anti German policy, of tjie government is a source of danger. Czechoslovakia, in a physical sense, is better off than any other country over there. She has ample food and fuel and is thus in a commanding position. Her industries can resume with little outside help. With a strong government that country should survive and prosper. Her danger seems to lie in probable racial antagonisms, with resulting political confusion. “As for Hungary, few people here believe it'Will survive as an independI Eventual union with Rou- _ mania seems now inevitable, cinter ■ with its own king as vassal, or simply 1 as part of the empire. « “The Roumanians were quick to see 1 the powerlessness of the allies and ■ simply disregarded the communicaI tions from Paris. The so-called inter- ■ allied military mission, unbacked by J anything real, is a farce. The other day a letter was sent to the Roumanian commander by this mission, written in English, and he handed it back with the remark to communicate with him in a language understood by civilized people.” Slur cn Paris Conference. Another Roumanian personage remarked that the Paris conference had sent them a very impolite note, to which they were forced to reply in kind. These are merely illustrative of the conditions there. “Hungary will starve this winter. It is beginning to starve now. The Roumanians have stripped it utterly, from seed wheat to the printing presses. They control and censor the mails and wires, and are in fact and deed conquerors. “Among men with whom I talked in Budapest there is a conviction that it Hungary survives it will be only under a monarchy. The peasantry want a king, and the old reactionary crowd is powerful, acute and busy. “As for Austria, every province and every district is a separate government by Itself, acting independently - and often in defiance of the Vienna government, which is actually conI trolled, as far as any control goes, by these workmen and soldiers’ councils. “There, too, the body of the people I seem to want a monarchy. They have 1 bad enough of republicanism. Wellinformed people say a coup d’etat is not impossible. j “The Austrians are hopeless regarding their future, and see only a union with Italy or Czechoslovakia if they are to survive. The country is bankrupt, stripped of its resources by the (peace settlement, and the people arc too worn out to fight. In spite of the treaty there is a feeling that some way will be tried to bring about union with Germany.” i Horse Wandered Back. The right man at a local garage at ' Columbus, lud„ was astonished the other night to see a large gray horse saunter in about midnight, make straight for a watering trough ip the garage, drink and then select a secluded corner and prepare to settle down for the rest of the night. After a second glance at the visitor, the garage employee saw it was Fox, a driving horse that had for many years been the property of the garage owner when the building was a livery stable. The animal had been sold several years ago. but had wattdeHd back to its old home and tried lo find lh® PT?’ ' vhero Ita stall stood. w _•!
