REIGN TERROR
IN HUNGARY
BY SOVIETS
BUDAPEST, May 16 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—What
may be the last days of the “Red”
Soviet^republic here are fraught with
such terror, hunger, mental misery, up
Tooting of family ties, heartbreaking
partings, fights, arrests and legal loot
ings that the majority of Hungarians
are praying that such days may never
come again. They live like people
caught in a burning house with the
firemen spirting benzine on the only
escape ladder.
One way out may possibly be pro
vided by the Czech >and Rumanian
armies, who, though national enemies
of the Magyars, are now hailed as
saviors. The atmosphere is charged
with fears and alarms, worse than
those felt on any battle front. A con
tagious fear like that which prevails
when an army is in rout is spreading
even to foreigners whose persons are
comparatively safe from arrest owing
to the wishes of Bela Kun, the Com
munist leader, and other ministers to
save themselves from the gallows
when the grand collapse comes.
When fathers and sons flee the
country to evade arrest or to join the
counter-revolutionists, their wives and
mothers whisper at the parting: Let
us hope we may meet in happier
times.”
When the correspondent of The As
sociated Press has had occasion to
explain his nationality the listener,
whether Red guard, peasant, or civil
ian, has remarked with envy: “What
a fortunate man you are, to be an
American.” •
He would mvariauiy ass. vyuciuci n
would be possible to reach America
and whether foreigners, former ene
mies, would be permitted to land on
her shores. Peasants, who ^refuse to
furnish food to Budapest or other
cities because they are hostile to com
munism and want shoes and clothes
more than paper money, of which they
have plenty, gladly enough sold meals
and supplies to the correspondent on
the strength of his nationality.
The city of Budapest which a few
weeks ago had a plentiful supply of
eggs—people almost lived upon them
^nd potatoes—is now without eggs,
because of the obstinacy of the peas
ants. A great many of the stores have
been closed for lack of goods to sell,
or because they have been requisition
ed by the Soviet.
The most saddening impression the
visitor receives is that of a country
in dissolution, being stripped day by
day, mercilessly and inexorably, of its
riches, to benefit nobody. The rela
tively pleasant, orderly and bountiful
life that existed in Hungary a few
months ago, when its neighbor Austria
was starving, is gone for many*years
to come.
“If anyone wants to be convinced
of the futility of re making the world
in a single day with pet theories, he
should now visit Hungary,” was the
remark made by an American naval
officer. It is estimated that half a
million of Hungary’s best citizens have
been obliged to flee from their homes
and wander across the frontiers to
strange lands.
There are many stories of their at
tempts to save their lives and prop
erty some of which read like Arabian
Nights tales. It is calculated that
some 3,000,000,000 kronen worth of
bonds, gold coin, jewelry, plate, paint
ings and work of art have been saved
from the clutches of the Red guards
and smuggled across the frontiers by
blockade runners, afoot, on bicycles,
autos or peasant carts. Within a few
weeks, there has grown up a system
by which large percentages of the
value of such property, often amount
ing to 50 per1 cent have been given
for its safe transportation to Vienna
or Agram. Not a few communists
took advantage of such methods of
getting valuables out of the country.
Many jewelers, however, stored their
stocks under sidewalks or hid them in
holes dug In their cellars in prefer
ence to trusting them to blockade
runners.
BRITISHEOiSCOVERS
SECRET OF ARTIFICIAL
MOTHER-OF-PEARL
LONDON, June 17 (by Associated
Press).—The secret of another German
key industry has been discovered, the
manufacture of artificial mother-of
pearl. J. W. H. Dew, a Fellow of the
Royal Society of Arts, found the pro
cess after much patient experimenting.
Dr. Dew was engaged during the
whole period of the war in reconstruct
ing, step by step, the method of manu
facture.
Artificial mother-of-pearl" is used for
making fancy buttons, dress trimmings
and many other articles. Before the
war most of it came from Germany.
BOYCOTT INAUGURATED
BY GERMAN FIRMS
BERLIN, June 17 (by Associated
Press).—Certain Berlin firms have
sometime carried on a secret boycott
against men of the imperial defense
forces and at last one concern openly
stated that it discharged two men
because they had served with these
troops. Herr Noske, minister of na
tional defense has branded this as
treason. After this statement had been
made public the men were reinstated.
JAPS NAVAL PROGRAM
FOR NEXT TWO YEARS
TOKIO, June 17 (by Associated
I Press).—The warship*) to be built for
the Japanese navy in the current fi
nancial year 1919-1920, are the battle
ships Kaga and Tosa, two battle
cruisers whose names have not been
chosen, two cruisers, eight destroyers
and seven submarines.
The two battle cruisers are to be
of the latest type. The designs have
already been drafted and it is expected
that the minister of navy will shortly
issue formal instructions for under
taking their construction.
HOOVER IS HONORED
BY BELGIAN NATION
BRUSSELS, June 17 (by Associated
Press).—The Belgian Order of St. John
of Jerusalem, created to aid victims
of the war, has opened a subscription
to present Herbert Hoover, the food
administrator, with an address and a
work of art symbolizing ,the energy
he has displayed in succoring Belgium
since the war began.
The Belgian government recently
nominated Mr. Hoover “Friend of the
Belgian Nation.”

Camps for Physical Tr lining Are Just as
Necessary for Gir s as for Boys
Br JOSEPHINE DASKAM BACON
_I
Camps to teach citizenship and give physical training are just as
necessary for girl3 as for boys; all classes of girls need the outdoor life
and the training. The daughters of the wealthy families like the camp
life and need some of the things it offers, just as much as the girls from
poor districts. The needs of one group of girls may not be those of
another group, but all can find work to do that will make them happier
and more useful citizens. The Girl Scout camps supply something that
the home and the church and the school have failed to give.
I believe that the state should recognize the benefits that can be
derived from the training camps for girls. But the camps should be rec
reational and should provide the "things that the girls themselves want.
As a parent I find that having my daughter a member of the scouts
is a means of teaching her many things that she would not care to learn
i.f I tried to give them to her as part of the routine of home life. In the
scout work we have been able to get young girls to do housework, dish
washing and the drudgery that every woman should learn, and without
a whimper from the girls. We try to supply every Activity which they
desire and give them the training to make themselves efficient. When you
••an make girls do dishwashing you can teach them anything they ought
to learn and not make them unhappy.
