KIC IS HEAR
VIENNA—Living conditions n
Hungary have reached the stage
where the only hope of the aris
tocracy is that the Entente powers
will send troops to Budapest and to
other parts of the country to save
! them from the dreaded menace of
Bolshevism. Many of the former
aristocrats have gone to their coun
try homes and many others would
like to go to Switzerland but are
unable to obtain permission to leave
the country. The streets of Buda
pest are considered unsafe after
dark and wealthy persons employ
soldiers to guard their homes.
Thousands of unemployed in
Budapest and other towns are re
ceiving from the state 40 to 50
crowns a day, t'nree-fourths of
which is contributed by manufac
turers, who are fast losing all the
money they made during the war.
One of the largest munition firms,
whch recently employed 30.000 per
sons, is paying them 5,000,000
crowns a week It is asserted this
is tending toward the demoralization
of the workmen who prefer to live
upon state pay rather than to re
turn to work.
Many factories have been brought
to a standstill owing to the lack of
coal and it is feared that flour mills
may also be forced to shut down.
The train service has been reduced
to one train a day between Buda
pest and Vienna, the journey occu
pying sixteen hours instead of
four.
The cabinet ministers, who before
the revolution received salaries of
25.000 crowns, are now making
100.000 crowns. The number of
under-secretaries of state has been
increased from 12 to 77, each being
paid 40,000 crowns a year. Im
mense sums have been expended in
payment of invalided soldiers. A
plan was suggested by which the
sum of 25,000,000,000 crowns would
have covered all annual pensions,
but instead of adopting such a plan,
the ministry has spent 70,000,000
crowns in few weeks in temp >rary
relief, with- the result that the re
cipients are now clamoring for fur
ther help.

FRANCE MAKING
RAILWAY RIANS;
PARIS—l ranee, as a result of
the war, finds itself short of 3.000 I
locomotives and 100,000 cars, while
the transportation material that is
still nominally on the active list is
badly out of repair. The shortage
of rolling stock has become very
acute lately, for the number of loco
motives and cars out of commission
for various defects has increased
since July last by 10 and 30 per
cent respectively.
To meet the growing difficulties
in the matter of repairs, the state
munition factories at Lyons. Toul
ouse and Roanne have, since the
armistice, been turned with all speed
into railway repairing shops.
The French government has long
hesitated to place orders in the
United States, where alone new,
rolling stock could be procured, for
fear of depressing the French rate
of exchange unduly; but the coun
try's needs became so pressing that
orders have now been given, it is
understood, for purchasing 800 loco
motives and 32.000 cars, while 27.
000 American cars that were to have
been shipped to France for the use
of the American Expeditionary
Force have also been acquired.
Perhaps the biggest task before
the French transportation experts
the restoration of the destroyed
tracks in the invaded part of France.
An army of 75,000 workers will be
engaged on this great work for
months. It includes the reconstruc
tion of fourteen tunnels and 16.000
bridges, for which 50.000 tons of
metal are required.
In addition, hundreds of miles of
main and branch lines have been
temporarily "borrowed" for military
purposes from elsewhere, and must
now be relaid
The departments affected have
been divided up into sections, for
each of which a “chief reorganizer”
has been appointed. Each of them
has been required to give an under
taking that he will have his section n
proper working order as regards
transportation, in the course of the
present year.

An appropriation of 120,000,000!
franc? has been made by the gov-'
ernment to enable the railway com
panies to purchase rolling stock for1
urgent public needs. The minister
of public works has declared that,
in his view, the restoration of
France's Northern and Eastern rail
way systems should be made a first
charge upon the war indemnity to
be paid by the enemy.
