BUDAPEST, Sept. 21 (by Associated
Press).—Central Europe and Germany
will surely be war and political strife
centers soon, in the opinion of Victor
Dvorcak, who was president of the
Slovakian republic for a period of a
few weeks previous to the annexation
Slovakia bv the Czechs in November
/
1918. Slovaks in the United States in
vited him to visit them this summer.
“I have just completed a tour of all
Europe,” said Mr. Dvorcak, “and these
storms are in the air. Germany will
break up into the small states of a
hundred years ago. The 3,000,009 Ger
mans now held by the Czechs will
join the Saxons, while the Austrians
will join the Bavarians, perhaps.
“There will be a war between the
Poles ar d the Czechs as the latter
have an understanding with the Mos
cow government. In this war Hungary
will help the Poles, in order to get
back Slovakia, once her province.
Should the Rumanians have difficul
ties with the Russian bolshevik! over
the old province of Bessarabia, this
will be the signal for the Hungarians
to get back Transylvania. The Hun
garians know well that the allies can’t
help the Czechs in a military way and
perhaps wouldn’t if they could.
“The point that troubles the Hungar
ians most is the possible attitude of
the Serbs should the Hungarians en
gage in a new war. They hope that
Italy in such case would threaten the
Serbs. Should the Hungarians first
strengthen themselves by helping the
monarchists in Austria to overthrow
that republic, and then both be
*
joined anew under Emperor Charles,
the case with Serbia might be then
helped.
Hungary is m such a condition at
present that she can’t abide by the
frontiers of the peace treaty. Two
thirds of her territory has been taken
by the Czechs. Serbs, and Rumanians,
the latter getting nearly one-third. Her
population has been cut from ^),000,
000, to 8,000,000. These 12,000,000 un
der new domination are being robbed
and mistreated by their new masters
until many flee to Hungary.
“This has made a big, dissatisfied
population which has no money or no
work or any future unless they win
back their homes.
"So a new war will evidently come
out of this homelessness and hatred
and poverty. In Slovakia the Czechs
have tried to rule by arms but the lo
cally enrolled soldiers are fleeing to
the forests. Communism has been de
clared by workmen in the centers
about Kaschu. The peasants who used
each year to go to the plains of Hun
gary to till the soil and gather the har
vests are not allowed to cross the
frontiers. So they must starve this
winter. Already they have but two
pounds of bread per month. Czech
speculators and carpet-baggers are
cutting down the magnificent forests.
“Should disorder break out there, it
is possible that Hungarian soldiers
lately mobilized at Miskolez will cross
the broder and then the Czechs will
be driven out.”
PAPER INDUSTRY BIG
FACTOR IN DELOPMENT
cords. The price agreed upon was $1
a thousand for spruce and 50 cents
a thousand for cedar, hemlock and
Alaskan cypress.
Forest service officials said too
that the recent investigation of the
paper pulp industry indicates that Al
aska offers the only relief to the
present shortage. The only available
pulpwood timber in the east of con
sideral quantity is in the state of
Maine and Canada and there is always
the danger of a Canadian embargo. In
fact all exports of pulpwood are al
ready prohibited from Newfoundland
and the Canadian provinces have pro
hibited the export of pulpwood from
crown lands which form a considerable
part of the timberlands in eastern and
. western Canada.
DEVELOPMENTS ..EXPECTED
Forest service officials therefore ex
pect that many new developments
will take place in Alaska now that
water power has become available
under the leasing act. They believe
the deal just entered into is one of
the many that will be consummated in
the near future. There is no economic
reason they say why the timber of
Alaska and the northwestern states
should not become an important fac
tor in the eastern market.
A rough estimate shows that the
Tongass forest reserve contains about
70 billion board feet of Sitka spruce
and western hemlock well suiited for
paper making.
Advertise in the Daily Times
HATS VERY SMALL OR LARGE
Advance Models of Season Show Well
Marked Tendencies and Some
Novelties.
The advance hats for spring show
many indications of the coining fash
ions, some well-marked tendencies and
some novelties. These novelties, from
the very fact of their entire newness,
are apt to remain novelties and to
lack definite influence on the mode.
Many of the first spring hats of the
season are made up rather to inter
est and attract! the foreign buyer.
Later a more conservative charm
marks the millinery fashion both in
France and America, after they have
been modified by the influence of well
dressed women.
Several general tendencies may be
noted. Hats are either very small or
of quite large proportions. This does
not mean that the enormous “Merry
Widow” headgear is in any danger of
returning. The Frenchwoman does
not look well in a very large hat,
though it is often becoming to her
tall and slender American cousin. If
the hat is small It Is almost sure to
have a tuft of something sticking out
sharply at one side. Swathed effects,
defining the shape of the head, are
shown in Vogue. They are popular,
especially with a bow of stiff ribbon,
or a short broom of aigrettes set at
right angles to the head at the right
side over the ear.
FASHION NOTES OF INTEREST
Overskirts fall below the founda
tion skirt.
Black satin and gold lace Is a good
combination.
Vanity cases are of brocaded velvet,
leather or suede.
Leather is much used for u milli
nery decoration.
Moccasin brown is x new color
among negligees.
Handkerchiefs are of printed lin
ens in vivid colors.
Lace collars finish the collarless
necks of simple serge dresses.
Chestnut brown straw, witn pink
quills is a recent Baris idea for a nat.
A dominant note in color schemes
and designs is of oriental inspiration.
Tailored dimity Dlouses and the
latest tailored nets are also favored.
Tucked and scalloped chemisetces of
white organdie ire used on serge
frocks with jacket opening.
Paris suit skirts are short, with
fullness about the hips, many being
draped with casca le 'ather than pan
nier effects.
NEW DEMAND FOR RIBBONS
Vestees Incorporated in Garments. Ac
counts for Suit Manufacturers
Entering Trade.
Salesmen now on the road with
ribbon lines are sending in good orders
and the trade as a whole is described
as being in a healthy condition. Pro
duction still-fails to come up to what
manufacturers desire, and the record
prices of raw silk are giving a very
firm tone to ribbon values. While the
call from the bag trade is not. as
active as it was, the loss in this di
rection is more than made up by the
business coming from the suit trade.
Vestees are no longer separate arti
cles, but are incorporated in garments,
which accounts for the entrance of ihe
suit manufacturers into the ribbon
trade for the first time in several
years. i*
REAL “KICK” IN THIS WATER
Tank Proved Unsafe Hiding Place for
Whisky Which Thrifty Soul
Had Stored Away.
Mannington, W. Va.—Eighty-seven
five-gallon jugs of liquor rested unmo
lested in the bottom of a water .tank
near the city until one of the jugs
broke. Then the excitement began.
Within a few hours the tank, which
supplied water for the operations of
neighboring oil wells, was drained and
the liquor disappeared. The liquor is
alleged to have been the property of
Charles Miller, who cached it in the
big tank. Miller was later arrested
with one jug of liquor, and the officials
spent several days looking for the oth
ers, until some one tasted the water.
By the time the prohibition officers
reached the scene nothing was left but
a few broken jugs.
Prohibition officials have been trail
ing Miller for months, but never locat
ed his source of supply. But the oil
well drillers who drank the water from
the tank soon located it and lost no
time in removing the whisky.
SOLD 'DEAD CEMETERY’ STOCK
Ghost Followed “Confidence Man"
Through War and Into
Jail.
St. Louis.—The ghost of a dead cem
etery rose up and caused the arrest
of Clarence R. Cronk.
Cronk is wanted in Chicago charged
with operating a confidence game, be
cause he started to put life in a ceme
tery proposition before the war.
“I told a banker'about my scheme,”
Cronk said. “He said people are dy
ing every day that never died before
and it’s a good business.”
Cronk said he put $500 in the dead
cemetery proposition and sold $1,800
worth of stock.
“Then the war came along and the
cemetery died,” according to Cronk.
