A WORTHY WORK.
Buffalo's Four Minute men, who!
organized during the great war to1
promote the sale of Liberty bonds, j
have undertaken a new task. They1
are preaching patriotism and love!
of country at the street comers.
The soapbox has been the ros- >
trum of those who preached class!
hatred and revolution, it was said I
!
in annnouncing the campaign, and
the Four Minute men believed that;
this class of speakers should be met
on their own ground.
Accordingly, they reorganized as
the Minute Men and one of their
number speaks each night. The
first meetings have been well at
tended and the Minute Men say they
have been encouraged by sympa- j
thetic response from their audi- j
ences. It is planned to continue
the “soapbox" campaign as long as,
there is apparent need for it.

HELPING HUNGARY.

Hungary is the first of the latu 1
Central Powers to receive an offi- ;
vial commission of the American ‘
Red Cross for civilian work. To \
meet the urgent need for medical'
and surgical supplies in the hos
pitals of Budapest, a train of 30
cars in charge of a unit of 12 .
American officers has been sent
from Paris. The supplies carried
are valued at $350,000
The unit is in charge of Major
S. A. Moffatt, of Brooklyn, and

GERMAN POTTERS
INVADE ENGLAND
LONGTON. Eng. — The British
pottery trade has taken alarm at
the appearance of German china in
the stores of the pottery district at
prices which manufacturing potters
declare they cannot approach. Even
in this city, with its important pbt
ery industry, German ware is being
offered below the cost of manufac
ture.
These German goods, it is stated,
are being represented as of Dutch
maitufacture. but a member of the
English China Manufacturers’ asso
ciation said that no such china was
manufactured in China.
The price of the German goods
is fully 50 percent under the cost
. of local production, and this in
Longton. the real home of English
china.
“If it is true, as has often been
said,” said a pottery manufacturer, i
“that Germany has been accumulat
ing vast stocks of manufactured
goods during the war. it is possible
she has been passing them over the I
Dutch border in exchange' for but
■
ter and cheese. In that case, the
prospect of wholesale ‘dumping’
from that quarter, added to the cer
tainty of severe direct German com
petition in home and overseas mar
kets, will create a serious situation
for the English china manufactur
er."

The commission was sent to
Budapest at the request of th:
Inter-Allied commission in Paris.
Hospitals in Budapest were report
ed as crowded to overflowing, but
without the barest necessities. A
report on the situation in Buda- j
pest, sent to Paris by one of the
idvance agents of the American Red
Cross, says:
“Hungary today seem? the least :
i
ible of any of the defeated nations 1
:o right itself and resume its place ,
imong the people of the world.
Budapest, the capital, finds itself ]
’ace to face with famine, its eit- j
zens lacking not only food, coal. |,
md clothing, but its sick dying for||
vant of medicines and the means j;
’or surgeons to operate. ;|
“The hospitals still have hundred?!]
>f wounded men, but most of the j'
jatients are civilian sick — men, ;<
vomen, and children—whose const!- !
utions have been undermined by !,
var. Sugar, milk, cocoa, chocolate. !]
ind other delicacies so necessary
’or the upbuilding of the sick are j
practically unobtainable."

MAXILA.—The recent administra- j

CARNEGIE GIVES
FAT ANNUITY TO
CAPITAL HATER
LONDON. — John Burns' many
friends have been almost as much
surprised as gratified that Andrew
Carnegie should have left him £1.
OOO a year, for Burns once refused
to shake hands with Mr. Carnegie.
Moreover. Burns was very proud
of having done so and fond of tell
ing about it. It happened in the
precincts of the house of com
mons in the days before “Honest
John” had accepted the responsi
bilities of a ministerial office and
was still an untamed Socialist.
Mr. Carnegie was being shown
through the house of commons by ]
some distinguished English friends, i
In the lobby John Burns was en- j
countered and Carnegie’s attention
was directed to him. As Bums
used to tell the story of their meet
ing, Carnegie stepped up to him
smiling and with outstretched hand
and said, “Andrew Carnegie offers
his hand to John Bums.” To which
Bums replied, “John Bums refuses
to take the hand of Andrew Car
negie,’’ and turned his back on the
multi-millionaire.
Bums had said many violent
things against capitalists. There is
no doubt that Carnegie had a sin
:ere admiration for Bums as a
>elf-educated and self-made man.
Knd possibly in later years Bums
•hanged his opinions regarding An
Irew Carnegie.
JONESTY ON DECLINE
AT GERMAN CAPITAL
BERLIN.—As an indication of the
lecline of the general honesty of
Jerlin, the figures of the Lost and
’ound bureau are of considerable
nterest. Before the war, the av
erage number of articles returned
>y finders was annually between
welve and fourteen thousand, while
lardly five thousand were brought
vack during the last fiscal year,
rhe number has fallen noticeably
ince November 9. 1918.
All honesty has not vanished, how
ever, for very valuable “finds” have
>een returned, mostly pocketbooks,
nth contents of notes and valuables
rom 300 up to 200,000 marks.
