ADIEU BELA.

One of thf chief obstacles to peace In Europe has been Bela Kun a cruel and tyrannical leader who came Into power by the upheaval in Hungary.

Today's dispatches Indicate that the socialistic elements there, which now compose most of the people, have shaken oft the blood-thirsty Bela.

Franchet D'Esperey, commander-in-chief of the allied armies In the near east. It la reported, had notified Bela Kun, Hungarian red leader, that unless the soviet at Budapest resign immediately to permit the election of a popular government, he would proceed to occupy the Hungarian capital, lit the general has Issued such an ultimatum he had the express authority of the allied conference, and has done precisely ns he said.

The allies have followed a policy of extreme leniency toward Hungary ever *since Karolyl Invited the establishment of a Bolshevist regime to frighten his enemies of the entente. They could' friave crushed Bela Kun at any time,! but have refrained In the hope that the people he had enslaved would soon' come to their senses and pack him tack to Russia where he belonged. The' allies' patience Jong abused appears! jnow to have broken, and a new and firmer policy Is reflected In D'Esperey's order.

Little Hungary is the only red spot, On the map of Europe outside of Russia, and there is evidence that even in Russia the sands of Bolshevism are funning out. It may be easily believed '•that at Paris the feeling grows strong that it is time to clean up Hungary, I oust the usurper Bella Ivun and get a! government started with which a permanent peace compact can be negotiated. The army which marches on

Budapest will bg one not of conquest but of liberation for the vast majority ,of the people of Hungary. It is a prosperous day for Hungary and for Eui Top® when Bela Kun steps down,

Whether to death or exile.

I' THE PRESIDENT'S COURSE.

The news that President Wilson is i calling the leading republican senators into conference might be interpreted that he needs the support of this side of the senate to get the endorsement for the league of nations. Or it might .. be interpreted as a broad-gauged dei*.! c.ision of the president, different from

Vhat presidents are wont to do. This V xletail is unimportant considering the j, importance of the project in hand. No one of broad mini will haggle over it. 5 A» the days pass It becomes increasingly apparent that the strength v of the opposition to treaty and covenant is declining. Until the president's {return, rpost of the activity was on the

Bide of those who propose to veto the I'aris conference. Friends of the league i. of nations were largely on the de-

Mr. George W. Heeg Tells How Cuticura Healed His Rash

"I became affected with a rash as therebuii of sw» «i iing in extremely hot weather, and my entire body «vaa covered with red It pimples. The skin was in-

Jr flamed and red, and the pimples caused an intense itching and burning, and also loss of sleep. "After repeated applications of ar.d other remedies without success, I tried Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and after using one cake of Cuticura Soap with the Cuticura Ointment, I was healed." (S^«ed) George W. Heeg, 24 Maxine PI., Akron, Ohio, Feb. 5,1519.

ly considered doubtful are declaring themselves in favor of supporting the treaty as it stands without amendment or reservation. Meanwhile, it becomes more and more certain that opponents of the treaty are unable to agree upon a specific line of action.

The longer the country thinks over the tremendous issues involved in this treaty, the longer the American people study the unnecessary risks involved in the possible rejection of the league covenant the more the nation ponders the rank desertion of its friends and the Irreparable injury which would be done free peoples everywhere by vetoing the effort of statesmen at Paris to rid the earth of the scourge of war— the clearer these considerations decome, the more certain seems the early consummation of the pending compact. The ranks of treaty opponents lose ground because their cause is based on prejudice, partisanship and assumption and nothing else.

The situation at Washington is encouraging to the friends of peace, but there is no occasion for over-confi-dence. Every ounce of determination at th£ command of forward-looking Americans will be needed to achieve the victory.

THE NEXT PROBLEM.

People who hold railroad shares and bonds, and there are six or eight millions of them In the country, are hoping for an early solution of the tangle regarding the transfer back to the original owners of the rail lines.

Expert opinion places much stress on the necessity of a plan that will enhance the credit of the entire railroad system of the country. Virtually none of them approves a direct guarantee to the roads by the government. And there is probably sound logic in arguments that a guarantee would result in a lack of incentive for improved service to the public which competition naturally creates. President Rea, of tlta Pennsylvania, and several other authorities claim a guarantee would eventually mean government ownership, because increased taxes would result, and this would create a demand for the public to take over the roads.

One suggestion made by Judge Lovett, which will doubtless receive wide approval, is that railroad securities should be under exclusive federal regulation. Stocks and bonds of the railroad companies, estimated in value from $17,000,000,000 to $20,000,000,000, are scattered widely throughout the country. Not only are they owned as investments by many individuals, but indirectly, through large holdings of insurance companies, savings institutions and other organizations, it is estimated that at least half of the citizens have a financial interest in the carriers.

The market prices for railroad securities have generally been extremely low during the last two years. Those having such investments are anxious to know what the future has in store for them^. So long as uncertainty exist* the expansion of credits and

financing needed for required growth of business and to improve roadbeds, rolling stock and terminal facilities will be delayed. Accordingly, It is of vital importance to the many Interests concerned that congress shall formulate a program which will be "a business proposition," assuring adequate service at reasonable rates and a substantial financial basis on which the railroads may rely for expanding and improving service as conditions require.

COUNTRY VS. CITY.

In the arguments Tuesday In congress over the daylight saving matter it developed very definitely that the Issue is between the country and the city, the farmer refusing to adapt himself to the new condition and the city dweller well satisfied with the urban benefactions of the new law.

In the cities where day light saving has, as a whole, been a popular innovation there has been some difficulty in getting the viewpoint of the farmer, who, as a general proposition, has been opposed to the change in time. The following are some or the arguments that have been made in Washington against the law:

Farmers waste time Instead of saving. Lose one hour in morning on account of dew.

Hired help wants to quit at o'clock. Forced to carry new and old time. Teams and men must work in hottest part of day.

Can't change habits of farm animals —come up at usual time. Entertainments scheduled on new time are too early for farmer's family.

School children have to .start one hour earlier. Stores and shops in country towns close too early for farmer.

Small-town merchant must work extra hour. Farmers work by sun, not by jk.

Must start one hour earlier to :ch trains. Cows must be milked one hour earlier where milk is shipped.

Chickens won't go to roost until usual time. Increases conveniences and efficiency of city folks at farmer's expense.

There is very little likelihood that the law will be repealed at this session of congress. President Wilson's firm stand in favor of daylight saving is the reason.

Perhaps after it has been tried out a little longer the farmer will get used to the change in time.

John Armstrong Challoner protests against being legally insane in New York when he is legally sane in Virginia. Maybe the theory is that New Tork is enough to drive anybody looney, and is certain to act that way on men like John.

Mrs. Wilson has brought back from Paris a costume with a skirt three yards around the hem. The league of nations isn't the only important result of that trip.

"At the present moment the whole world regards him as a discredited and contemptible coward." If he of the mailed fist and the strong sword

CLOSE PORT TO GERMAN LINERS.

Government Has Acquired Hamburg. American Piers In New York. The United States government in May acquired by purchase the three piers of the Hamburg-American line, thus leaving this German company no landing place in the port of New York. The price paid was announced to be million dollars.

Acquisition of this property by the United States government leaves the great German lines only three piers along the Hoboken water front and in New York, making It certain that it will be many years before the German interests, even with favorable circumstances granted them by the allies, would be able to resume their traffic with this port in the great dimensions of the days before the war.

The three remaining piers are those numbered X, 2 and 3 in the army debarkation station at Hoboken, and formerly* were the property of the North German Lloyd line. It ^vas stated by officers $f the government in Hoboken that negotiations would soon be complc-ied for the acquisition of those piers by this government Rlso.—Current History.

STUDY ACCOUNTING

The cost of doinic business is rising as steadily as an incoming tide. Financiers and business men pay big fee and salaries to have conditions accurately charted in figures. Reliable information Is vital to their profits—even to their business life. Incomes of Accountants range from $3,000 to $10,000 a year or more. And now the government demands accurate inoome reports.

About six months ago We discovered this small cellar, And it looked like a good place For a certain purpose. JVe noticed that we Couldn't keep grass cutters. We had a new one every Two or three days. It seemed that they would Get locked up for intoxication. One after another they disappeared And we never heard of them again. Well, yesterday We had some company for dinner And we hastened down to The little cellar for a bottle Of the stuff we had stored away. There wasn't a drop left. Hereafter we are not Going to own cellars. We are going to be A grass cutter.
