Violent Swing to Anarchy is
Feared Hatred Grows tor Allied Powers. (By Associated Press)
BUDAPEST, April 23 This city is
going through a crisis worse man that of April 3. There is apprehension
that there will be a violent swing to
anarchy with the socialists losing control of Bolshevik leaders like Bela
Kun and chiefs of the red guard. Looting which hitherto has been held In check or legalized as the "nation
alization of property" and the assassination of the old political leaders and the aristocrats are feared.
Reports are current that the Ru
manians and Czechs have received orders from the allies to march on
Budapest This is increasing the uneasiness here. It is felt, however, that the Rumanians are advancing
merely to occupy the territories set aside for them by the allied note of
March 20, which resulted in tne resignation of Count Michael Karolyl, the former premier. The fact that the communists are unable to prevent the allies from occu
pying the districts involved is weanRola Kun. and

Situation Obscure It seems to be established that the
soviet government of Hungary nas
crumbled, but the situation is sua quite obscure. The party that has assumed control is not definitely known. The report that a soviet regime had been set up in Turkey, is doubted in London, where It is pointed out that If there was any truth in the mimnr. there would have been reports
forwarded by wireless to the British

Red Cross Cares For U. S. Soldiers on Leave (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 23. Fifty canvas buildings which served last summer as hospital wards for American soldiers wounded in the drive at Chateau-Thierry have been obtained by the American Red Cross and set
up on the site or tne rans exposition where they are being used for sheltering and feeding the 1,600 American fighting men who swarm into Paris daily on leave. This is the sixth hotel the Red Cross has established for the care of American soldiers who visit Paris on sightseeing trips. Word of the opening of the big canvas hotel was received today at Red Cross headquarters here. The tent hotel is modern in every way and with the others fills a big need as sleeping and eating quarters are reported to be scarcer than at any time in the history of Paris. Miss Ethel Burnet of New York and
Miss Mary Tongue of Baltimore are in charge of the tent city. Managers of the other Red Cros3 hotels in Paris are: Miss F. W. Baker, Wildwood, N. J.;. Miss Margery Jenkins, Buffalo; Mrs. L. M. Pickett, Atlanta; Miss Alice Lord O'Brien, Buffalo, and Mrs. Joseph Gusdy, Lagrange, I1L

HEY THERE, KIDS! GLEN'S Goirr TO GET SOME MONKS
Arrival of Springtime Brings
Annual Awakening ot In habitants of Park Zoo.
Get ready, kiddies!
Ed. Hollarn, superintendent of Glen Miller Dark, has a letter from M. R-
Barnett in New York City saying that
a careo of monkies from South Amer
ica is expected to dock in a few days. If these monkies aren't too h?gh priced
four of them are coming straight out to Glen Park Zoo. When the monkies arrive their first business will be to shoo out the raccoons, who have been occupying the monkey cage since all the "funny ones" burned "n the greenhouse fire the tenth of Feoruary, a year ago. Of course another abode will be rented for the raccoon family, and Superintendent Hollarn is undecided whether to secure them an upper apartment or
a bungalow for the summer. There's Rex and Rexall. But monkies aren't all. Rex, Rexall and Nellie, whom you've been admiring for a good many seasons, are setting up housekeeping again this year in the bear pit following their winter
hibernation. Nellie, if you remember, is about seven years old now. Mr. Hollarn raised her from a cub, and she's mighty fond of the kiddies. Nellie came to Richmond from Detroit when so small she could not walk. She is no relation to brother and sister Rex and Rexall, who were trapped in the Rocky Mountains. They were caught by a brother of Howard Tipp of Greenville, O. Mr. Tipp kept them at his drug store In Greenville for some time as an advertisement, and when they got too big to be strictly society mixers and nothing more, he gave them to the Glen Zoo. They are all native black bears of the Rockies. Have you noticed that WTichita coyote who has no tail? There is a traEedv connected with that loss. In
the next cage to "Wichita" for that's
her name, too there are five wild
coyotes. Wichita is not wild, and foreetting that she had "wild neighbors,"
she one dav carelessly allowed her
handsome tail to droop into tne resi
dence next door. Since then ehe nasn t
had any tail.
Baldv Isn't Vicious,.
Old Baldface, the eagle, is screech

as he tries to make everyone believe,
and occasionally he proves it by drop
nine a Eoreeous tail f eatner witnm

tOEether probable that this eagle has
as much Ufa before him as a slightly
belated debutante, for he's only
might past twenty-five, and eagles live to be forty or fifty years old. Baldy
has been In the Glen zoo for fifteen years, coming here when a mere Child
of ten years.
Has anyone some names to suggest
for the Red Foxes captured about
week ago. and which are going to
grace a house in the zoo this year?
They haven't been named yet, but Mr.
Hollarn says they are "just as cute
and tame as kittens." Besides that, he is keeping them up at his home in
the park, where he feeds all four of them warm milk three times a day, and where he will be delighted to show them to any visitors who want
to see "real baby red foxes." Twenty
flye or thirty visitors called on the young family In Mr. Hollarn's home
last Sunday. He keeps them down
in the cellar by the furnace in order
that they may keep warm. No Prairie Dogs Yet.
No prairie dogs have been secured
this year, but over in the cage west

Mr. Wallace said: "Mr. President I have the honor to present to your excellency the letters which accredit me as ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the United States to the French republic. I am Indeed honored, for I come at the end of the world war to salute victorious France in tjie name of the American people. In that struggle Frenchmen and Americans fought side by side until the final victory was won on .French soil, under French command; and Paris, for a time the capital of the world, now Is witnessing the erection of the temple of peace. Requires World Unity. "We hope to dedicate that temple in the name of the league of nations, and make it its home; for the great war which was fought in the defense of civilization should be the last conflict of mankind. When victory came it was complete and the peace which is to follow should be enduring. It
is now the task of the allied nations
to confer that peace upon humanity,

WINCHESTER YOUTH
DIES FROM INJURIES
BREAK IS THREATENED
(By Associated Press) PARIS, April 23. In a statement Is
sued by President Wilson today ex
plaining his position on the Adriatic
Question, he declares that Flume can
not become a part of Italy. -
The president points out that every
condition concerning the Adriatic settlement has changed since Italy enter
ed the war upon the promises ol the pact of London, the Austro-Hungarian
empire having disappeared.
He notes that new states have been
created for which Flume is the nat
ural outlet to the sea.
The president also contends that the
strategic necessity needed in behalf of Italy's claim to the Dalmatian island
no longer prevails as the Austrian naval menace has ceased to exist.
THREATENS TO GO BACK (By Associated Praai PARIS, April 23. Premier Orlando
threatened to return to Italy today unless there Is a satisfactory adjust
ment of the Flume and Dalmatian questions. Premier Lloyd George la trying to persuade the Italian leader to remain in Paris longer while hp continued his. efforts to recancile the opposing views. Premier Lloyd George tried unsuccessfully during the discussion last night to reconcile the view point of President Wilson and Premier Orlando on the Italian situation, it became known today. The Italian delegation to the peace conference reasserted today its determination to stand firm on the question of Flume, Indicating that unless the council changes Its position the delegates would not return to the conference.
Resume Jap Questions. An early settlement of the differ
ences Is consequently thought to be improbable, especially as President Wilson Is understood to be equally as
firm as the Italian representatives.
With Premier Orlando stm absent.
Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd
George and President Wilson resumed
the consideration of questions con
cerning China and Japan.
Although the peace conferences in
Paris have pessed along for future adjustment the Japanese problem, one of the two troublesome questions standing In the way of the final shaping of the peace treaty, the Italian difficulty, was still pressing for solu
tion at today's meetings of the conference leaders.
Rejects Compromise. Italy's delegation at the peace con
ference, however, seems to be show? ing a disposition to recede from the extreme attitude which it had taken
and which has brought about an admittedly grave situation In the work of restoring peace. Reports from
Paris indicate a willingness on the part of the Italians to listen to sugges
tions of a compromise, this leading to hopes that some way should be found
to adjust the conflicting demands of Italy and Jugo-Slavla regarding the city of Flume and the Dalmatloan coast.
Italy, It Is said, has offered to give
up all claims to the Dalmatian hinter
land If given Flume, the Dalmatian coast and the coastal -watershed. On the other hand she has rejected offers of Flume In return for relinquishing
any claims she may have on the Dal-
matlon coast.
Rival claims of China and Japan to
Kiao Chau and the Shantung peninsula have not ben settled and If the Chinese and Japanese home governments consent, it seems probable
these claims will be left to be taken up by the league of nations after
peace has ben declared. After con
ferring on the subject yesterday, the
council of four announced that Germany's rights to the territory involved
in the dispute would be 'terminated, but no final disposition was made of
the peninsula or the former German fortress of Kiao Chau.
WINCHESTER, April 23. Ray Huff
man, who was struck by an interurban four miles west of here at Chapel stop
late Sunday night, died at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning. Hopes for his recovery had been entertained since
he regained consciousness Tuesday
afternoon.
Huffman had been calling in the eastern part of the township Sunday
evening and went to Chapel stop to flag the 10.50 car for Winchester. For some reason he renlained on the track too long after flaging the car, and was struck a glancing blow which hurled
him back against a trolley pole breaking several ribs and inflicting deep cuts on the head and body. It was thought that a rib punctured the left
lung.
He was brought to Winchester on the interurban, and was taken to the
home of his mother, Mrs. Anna Huff
man, on Jackson street, where he
died.
