VIENNA (Correspondence of the
Associated Press.) The menace of
Bolshevism has created a critical sit
nation in Hungary whose general
outlook Is considered Infinitely worse
than In German-Austria. Under the
present government the condition of
the country Is described as chaotic
and a serious Bolshevik outbreak is
expected. . With, its army disbanded
the government is unable to offer
resistance even it it had the courage
and energy to do so.
Public moneys, it is asserted, are
being "squandered" at an "appalling
rate" and leading financiers express
fear of bankruptcy of the state. The
whole situation in the country is re
ported to be "inconceivably worse
than at any time during the four
years of war."
' The government is preparing to
hold general elections but under the
present conditions this appears to be
a physical impossibility. There are
no lists of voters, and the franchise
has been extended from 1,500,000 to
7,000,000 including women who have
been granted suffrage. With part of
the country occupied by enemies,
elections in these districts will be
Impossible,, it Is declared. ; .
The fear, of Bolshevism Is growing
dally and everywhere the people are
urging that the allies intervene. They
express the fear, that the conditions
now existing in Russia will , be re
peated iii Hungary. Hungarian pris
oners of war" have returned from
Bussia imbued with Bolshevik ideas
and are spreading the propaganda.
It is the general opinion of the peo
ple that the Karolyl cabinet made a
mistake in disbanding the army leav
ing the country at the mercy of the
invaders. .'-,.-,-'
,i While the greatest dissatisfaction
is expressed in political circles and
among the people generally, and min
isterial crises are daily occurences,
no political party seems',- willing to
assume the reins of government.
Count. Karolyi appears to be the only
'leader available.
BUTTE. Mont.. Feb. 18. The coun
ty clerk's office here was again be
sieged today by a lonz line of foreisn
ern seeking naturalization miners. The
omvemenfc began yesterday when
the mining companies had reached a
decision to employ onlv Americans
or those who had declared their inten
tions of becoming citizens of the Uni
ted States. Eighty foreign born men
applied for first nnpers yesterday and
it was estimated thut at least that
many would make application today
liHlgine from the line at the clerk's
office this morning. , . , ,.:
The report that the mining compa
nies would employ onlv citizens or
those who had applied for citizenship,
lacks verification, but from all
sources during the last few davs has
come the report that it would be done
and it seems that it. had caused the
rush lor first papers. r

turned soldiers lias resulted iii mi ol iieuu inycstigii
tion by JMrei'tov General Mott, in which he frankly admits
minor mistakes, both in methods and selection of pcr-
sonnal, but eojisidei-inj the
ed in, gives the " a clean toll, ot health.
'According to its own officials, the "Y" has been ad
mirably conducted. However the "proof of the puddiii' it.
the eatin' of it," and the fact remains that the soldiers, for
whose benefit it was conducted, and for .whose welfare the
American people gave the "Y" hundreds of millions of
dollars, are not as well satisfied. ' ' N
Most of the complaints, sinuneved down are due to
mitaetful agents or to alleged overcharges in the salo ol
supplies in, the canteens really a side issue and forced on
the "Y" by the government. As all other war organiza
tions made no charge to the soldiers for service, but left
payment optional, tiie "Y" charges or as the Yanks term
ed, overcharges, aroused resentment. The complaints
forced intervention by the army, ; -which established a
schedule of prices.
In contrast to the "Y" canteens, there have been nr
complaints of overcharges in the canteens operated by the
Red Cross. , -
The complaining soldiers overlook the veaily threat
work done by the "Y," the establishment of club houses
and recreation centers, the lectures, movie entertainments
and free amusement provided, the baseball paraphernalia
furnished and the welfare work among the soldiers. All
these really' fine things are taken for granted and forgot
ten, but a five cent overcharge on a package of tobacco
lingers long iu the mind of tho soldier and makes the " Y"
a svnonym of graft.
In this connection it would be well to have an impar
tial investigation of the overseas work of the "YM vou
dueted by those not affiliated with the organization, so
that the people may be assured of. the facts iu the matter
for where there is so much smoke there may be some
fire.
OPPOSING THE LEAGUE.
R
EFUSAL by Senator Borah to attend the conference
called with senate leaders bv the president indi
cates that a stubborn fight will be made in the senate
against the proposed league of nations by the senators who
uphold the old traditional policy of national isolation
which was shattered when the United States became a
participant in the European war.
The opposition to the league has not been made a par
tisan matter. The proposal of a league when embraced iu
the president's 14 points enunciated over a year ago, met
with universal favor until those points had actually been
accepted by all the belligerants as a foundation for peace.
Then opposition, largely partisan in its character, was
first evoked. '
Ex-President Taft has voiced the sentiments of a ma
jority of republicans iu favor of the league, as President
Wilson has voiced that of the majority, of democrats.
Senators of both parties, however, oppose the 'league.
Most of the opposition seems centered in the ranks of the
ex-progressives now seeking the limelight as presidential
possibilities Borah, Poindexter and Johnson..
The war altered the face of the world it is impossible
td go back to our old provincial aloofness. The nation
has become a dominating factor in the affaire of the world
and league or no league must hcreatter play its role as the
chief exponent of democracy. This it can best do in the
league of nations, which it is fondly hoped, will become
a supreme court of the world to arbitrate the disputes of
nations a real mile stone in
Banat Sought by
Rumania and Serbia
WASHrXGTON1, Feb. 18. "Banat,
in southeast Hungary, where Ruma
nian and Serbian claims conflict, is
rich in agriculture, minerals and
history," states a bulletin issued
from Washington headquarters of
the national Georeraphlc society.
"Political football of continental
powers for centuries, battleground
for armies that turned the course of
European history, experiment station
for early reclamation projects and
scene of a pioneer 'back to the farm'
movement, Banat never has cut a
large political figure on its own ac
count. "The district derives its name from
a form of government it never had.
A territory governed by a 'ban,' who
corresponds to- tho German 'mark
graf, or the early polish 'pan,' mean
ing master or lord, was known as a
banat under former Hungarian desig
nation. Banats of Dalmatia, Bosnia,
and Croatia disappeared during the
Turkish wars but, curiously, the
name clung to the counties of Toron
tal, TemeB and Krasso-Szoreny, tho
this group never was ruled by a
'ban.'..' '.''.-' '
"Long referred to as 'The Banat,'
the region today commonly is called
'Banat.' Sometimes It is described
more exactly as 'Banat of Temesvar,'
thus identifying it by its principal
city, less than 200 miles southeast of
Budapest. .
."Temesvar, picturesque and buiy
before tho world war, bears both
scars and monuments of its eventful
history. Its springs were known to
the Romans. The Tartars destroyed
it. Its diet was the foundation for
the Hungarian representative sys
tem. ,
"Xear Temevar were defeated tin
peasant forces headed by 8:eph.in
Dosza, in their encounter with Jnjp
Szanolyal, of Transylvania four cen
turies ago. Desza was captured, a
throne of fire was built In mock hon
or of the 'king of peasants,' and as
ho was placed nmld the flames a red
hot crown was aot upon (lis head.
A.'S WAR WORK.
0, A. work in France hyw-
magnitude of the work engag
the path of human progress.
Thus Dosza's name became a Hun
garian by-word for heroism, and, ac
cording to popular bollof, Szapolai
was smitten with blindness for his
cruelty.
"Today the crumbling walls of the
inner city of Temesvar, from which
radiate avenues, like wheel spokes.
to four suburbs, bear testimony ot
tbe strong fortifications built by
King Charles Robert, of Aniou, one
or tbe most powerful monarchs of his
da)-.
"Rich agricultural lands about the
city, and thruout Banat, recall the
drainage of marshes, swamps and
thick forests, Instituted by Maria
Theresa, tbe 'Good Queen Bess' of
Austrian history, who. Incidentally,
almost accomplished the overthrow
of Frederick the Great. She failed,
partly because Russia abandoned the
allies of tbe Seven Years' War.
"An arsenal stands where Hunyadl
.7 an os built a castle fifty years before
Columbus set sail for America. That
famous Hungarian general is credit
ed with being one of the first military
leaders to substitute strategy and
organization for personal courage. So
successful was his theory that he all
but drove the Turks out ot Europe.
"Conspiuous In Tcmesvar's princi
pal square is a Gothic shaft, ordered
there by Emperor Francis Joseph, In
recognition of the city's defenders
during a 107-day siege against Hun
garian revolutionists of 1813.
"llanat covers an arna a little
smaller, and liar, a ovulation clfchtly
greater, than the state of Maryland.
Tf nnsvar today has a population
about equal to that of Waterbury,
Conn., Elizabeth, S. V., or Fort
Worth, Texas." . t '
