SOCIALISTIC ELEMENT IN PEACE AS ONLY SAFEGUARD FROM WAR IS FIFTEENTH PblNT WILSON'S LAST PRINCIPLE 1$ ; YET UN STATED, MUST BE DEVELOPED GRADU ALLY IN COUNCIL; AUSTRIA PLACES ONLY HOPE IN NATIONS LEAGUE. "' BY FRANK J. TAYLOR (United Press Staff Correspondent- Copyright by the United Press. BUDAPEST, Jan. 11. "No peace which is not partially social istic wl!l safeguard the world from future wars. President Wilson has, this In mind. IX- constitutes his "fifteenth point" as yet un stated which must be developed before the treaty Is signed. At'STRIA'H HOPE IX WIIjWOY "Count Karolyl, Hungarian premier, thus described to tlie United press what he believes should be accomplished by the peace con gressi He emphasized the fact that he Is not a socialist himselt and that he Intends to continue to fight against bolshevlsm, but ho dciared that he Is absolutely convinced that peace must be social and economic as well as political. He strongly advocated a' league of nations, saying tho world must stick to. Wilson's 14 principles or there wHl be another war within a few years. Karoiyl. a man of noble birth. Is easily the outstanding figure In Hungarian affairs. Practica'ly alone, he accomplished Hungarian Independence and he Is regarded as the one man who can weld the millions of his people Into a sol'd nation. HUNGARY A TOOL "Hungary was dragged Into this war by Austria and Germany, he declared. . "Our policy was near made In Vienna or Budapest, but in Berlin- We were Berlin's sub-agent, never walking on our own feet. Now that we have lost the war. absolutely our only hope la that Wilson's principles will win at the peace conference. The en tente cannot let Hungary be'ciushed. There must be a society df nations with the "fifteenth point." "Hungary's policy In everything will be Wilson. Wilsoner VIl sonest. Public opinion Is beginning to have the impression here that the entente wants us to become victims of bolshevism. . There will be no help for ais unless the entente concludes peace. The present government cannot hold out much longer. It was I who led the peo ple to trust Wilson's policies until the peace congress should put them into effect. We cannot do anything unless recognized by the entente. GENERAL REVOLT THREATENED The people are desperate and certainly will revert to action, which may develop into anarchy unless something is done quickly. People say Wilson cannot prevail at the peace conference. This agitatIonis very dangerous. Budapest is on the verge of a great catastrophe of bolshevism. NV, let us call It by the correct name anarchy. - This bj not developing from Russian . propaganda,, but from the needs of the people. I advocate the formation of a .com mission, headed by Americans, to fix our boundaries- The Americans entered the war to crush Prussianlsm, militarism and Mittel Europea. If Mittel Kuropea Is succeeded by a group of small na tions, I reiterate, there will always be trouble." ROAD CRISIS CAUSES COUNTY COURT TO SEND S. O. S. CALL; BENSON CAST MONKEY WRENCH Members of tho oourt this aftcr lfoon decided to call a representa tive meetinir for the middle of next week, the exa date not be ing determined at 3 o'clock. It Is lelunncd to ask each farmers and husincsH men's orjranlzaUon "d eaii community to send two dele (rates to a meet I to be held Iter to see what; steps can be taken to secure funds for rood bulldinar purpofies. When a Benson, chairman of ( the state highway commission, refused to stand for the hill route on the road between Pendleton and Kcho he threw a monkey wrench Into the Rood roads camp hi Umatilla county. Tho afore said wrench is just now causing tho county JudKe and commission ers to worry and they aro on the point oT sending out an S. O. s. signal to the people asking: them to kindly Inform them bow to meet the new situation. The available funds of tho county are not .sufficient tu gradrV the road to Echo along tho river route as the construction on that road will bo considerably more ex pensive than over tho hill.

The Christian Scientists' will hold their forenoon services in1 the Areade theater under the terms ot the ordinance- The mayor's proclamation was as follows: To the Recorder of the City of Pen dleton: You will cause churches, lodges, so- cfeties. associations or organizations mentioned in Section S of the a manda tory ordinance No. l41 to be notified, that they will be permitted to hold sen-ices and assemble for worship and " ' with the provision therein not to per, mlt persons to sit or stand within four ! feet of each other, and the one hun- ' dred square foot floor space,, men- tioned in said ordinance, is hereby ' suspended for said purposes from and after January 11, 11. IHted at Pendleton, . Oregon, this1 ever, it appears the river route must be taken if we expect the state to gravel the road and later on to pave it with hard surface material. Mr. Benson Is flatly against putting- the state to the expense of paving any road that does not follow proper lines. Other Itoadf Also. However the road to the west end is not the only one worrying the county court. Kast end folk want their macadam road paved be tween Milton and the state line. There is alao a qlamor for the Paving of the Wild Horse high way to Athena and south end people are Insisting that the road to Pilot Rock be modernized.. It la said that all these roads, as well as the road to .the mountains, are part of the high way commission's thorough road system and aro subject to paving If the county ; gets them into . shape. Rut how to do this with tho ordinary road funds is a prop osition no man has yet been able to .solve. There is. therefore, danger of losing state aid that may run into huge figures unless something can be done 11th day of January. 1919. J. I V AUG I IAN.
