Grave robbing in military cemeteries has become more or less frequent of late. The thefts of bodies are generally committed by persons hired by families anxious to have their dead brought to a particular cemetery or in the burial grounds of their home cities. Requests to remove the bodies have been refused by the authorities and the result is that these persons take the law into their own hands. Parents or relatives of soldiers have been frequently encountered near military cemeteries at night seeking to recover and to bury elsewhere their loved ones.

FLUX AND SWAY IN ST OF EUROPE,

(By Associate' Press) 1 PARIS. Oct. 27 An intimate view of conditions In Eastern Europe is given by an American official just back from a tour through Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Austria and later a visit to the Hungarian capital at Budapest. He says: "It seems inevitable that changes 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 and discontent 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. "In Czecho-Slovakia 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 subordinated and resent the arrogant attitude of the Bohemians proper. Again, the drastic anti-German policy of the government Is a source of danger. Czecho-Slovakia, in a physical sense

Hungary is Tottering "As for Hungary, few people here believe it will survive, as an independent country. Eventual union with Rumania seems now inevitable, either with its own king :is vassal, or simply as part of the empire. "The Rumanians were quick to see the powerlessness of the Allies and simply disregarded the communications from Paris. The so-called InterAllied military mission, unbacked by anything real, is a farce. The other day a letter was sent to the Rumanian commander in English, by this mission, written and he handed it buck

"Hungary will starve this winter, j It is beginning to starve now. The : Rumanians have stripped it utterly. irom 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 if Hungary survives, it will be only under a monarchy.

Recently one of the great dignataries of the church approached the Inter-allied mission with a proposal to place the duke of on the throne of Hungary. In fact, there are any number of royal candidates in the offing waiting to see what will happen. Austria Split to Piece.

The country will be practically without fuel, and it is a vigorous winter climate. Food already is scarce and poor, and daily increases in price. Buyers of Country at II , cv T f A tiaiVeS DOle Ot Antiques FAIRHAVEN, O.. Oct. 27. Miss Laura Hawe's auction sale of antiques which was held here Oct. 22, was Vc-ry succesful. Crowds from surrounding cities made the house and grounds look like a county fair. People were present from Richmond. Cincinnati, Dayton, Cleveland, Lexington end New York, to see and purchase the old furniture and coverlets. The 50 rare old coverlets were of patterns which are found only once or twice in a decade. The fancy of the buyers seemed to be centered in many cases on the same coverlets. Boston Town was a favorite, an indigo blue and white coverlet with a beautiful bird center, and a double row of the famous Boston Town border. The weaver of this was an Englishman, who wove into the coverlet some of the fine old resigns to be found nowhere else but in the rare old tapestries of mediaeval castles. Evidently, too. the lure of the southland was in his blood, else why should he have Boston Town nestling under the cocoa-nut-palms of the equator? Another favorite di-sign with the buyers was the True Lovers' Knot. This was the pattern which the weaver, Sam Curry, used most of all. DISABLED SOLDIERS ARE BEING TAUGHT TRADES (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 27. Disabled soldiers are being taught various traces in Chicago schools to enable them tq support themselves.

The hospitals are still without supplies, the death rate la high, and the streets literally filled with begging men, women and children. Highway robbc-ry is prevalent, smuggling rampant and there are sign Bof revolution unless conditions quickly mend. "There, too, the body of the people seem to want a monarchy. They have had enough of republicanism. Well lnformel people say a coup d'etat is not impossible. It would not take much to place a king back if he were a strong man with quality of leadership. In any event the reactionary element is strong and growing stronger in the absence of leadership, in the present government. "The Austrians are hopeless regarding their future and eee only a imion with Italy of Czecho-Slovakia, if they are to survive. The country is bankrupt, stripped of its resources by the peace settlement, and the people are too worn out to fight. In spite of the treaty there is a feeling that some way will be tried to bring about a union with Germany. AFTER 40 YEARS, ! ELECTRIC LIGHT SHOWS BIG GROWTH CHICAGO, Oct. 27. The fortieth birthday of the incandescent electric that the announcement by Thomas J. Edison, Oct. 21. 1S79, that he had perlected an incandescent lamp that would really "light", was received with good-natured ridicule. But 60 rapid was the development of the invention and recognition of the accomplishment that on the following Christmas Eve an excersion train was run from New York to West Orange, N. J., carrying a throng to view the wonders of the first community lighted by electricity. Declaring that the use of electricity for lighting is yet only in the first stages of development, the speakers pointed out that genwoUi use of the Edison invention has not come until i the last ten or fifteen years and that 1 un to that time kdrnsene and easoline But now even small communities have electric lighting plants and farm homes are lighted in a similar way while the application of electric powerp to practical uses has been widely extended.

Sir Valentine j Chirol, the well-known authority on In- . dia and Persia, who accompanied Visj count Curzon when he was Viceroy of : India on his tour of Persia, is out in i an article strongly upholding the Ang- ! lo-Persian treaty recently negotiated, j and declaring that it will be submitted j to the council of the League of Nai tions, where he confidently believes it will be approved as the "first mile1 stone in international reiauonsnip based not upon might but upon right." Sir alentine says m part: "The agreement signed on August 9 between the British and Persian governments is the first important international treaty ontside those concludprl hptweon ociual belligerents since the armistice of November last held I out the promise of returning peace to J a shattered and exhausted world. The promise remains still very largelv unfulfilled, but the Treaty of Versailles

has at least laid down in the covenant of the League of Nations the lines upon which, it may be reasonably hoped, its fulfillment may ultimately be completed and made as permanently secure as can be expected from the inherent frailty of all human combinations. "The first question therefore-to be asked by those who study the terms of the new Anglo-Persian agreement, and especially by such as are not directly interested in the concrete questions which it has endeavored to solve must necessarily be whether the spirit and substance of this compact is in harmony with the new dispensation fore-shadowed by the League oj Nations. Its authors are confident that it is, and have given the strongest proof possible of their sincerity by undertaking to submit it to the council of the League of Nations nd to defend it jointly before that body as soon as the council comes into effective existence after the ratification of the Versailles Treaty. "If the Angli-Persian agreement can stand that decisive test, it will be the first and a very conspicuous milestone on the road along which the world may hope to travel towards the establishment of a system of International relationships based not upon might but upon right."
