I ought to go the separation of this pro-Hungarian city from Hungary, and its accession by Austria as soon as the peace is| bile mechan ratified, appear in nearly every house and shop window. Two Austrian commissioners, sent here to make preliminary arrange- ments for taking over the administra- tion of the town, upon their arrival were hooted and jeered by a great crowd, vegetables were thrown at their carriage and black flags hung from most of the public and other buildings. is said, and are now virtually volun- tarily interned in their offices here, This little city, which the Hungari- ans ‘call Sopron, is the metropolis of that strip of territory which the peace conference took from Hungary and gave to Austria on economic, eth- nologic and stragetic grounds. # * |” Its loss has caused the Budapest government to make various pro- posals to Austria in an effort to re tain it, all of which have been-refused. Meanwhile the men here very gene- rally wear the Hungarian colors in their coat lapels and the women on their hats or as hair ribbons, The Austrians charge that the demonstra- tion against their mission was a goy- ernmentally organized affair. The Hungarian government has en deavored, it charged, to create the impression that this region is prepon- derantly Hungarian in race, tongue and by predeliction. The Vienna gov. ernment, on the other hand, has re- sisted this with ‘counter claims that the people ‘are dominently Germanic by blood, language and desire, Of late’ weeks there has been con siderable publicity given semi-officiai Austrian statements that, pending their withdrawal, the Hungarians were oppressing the Austrian popula- tion, requisitioning material of all kinds and generally wreaking their revenge ‘in much the same way the Rumanians did to them. It was even stated in high Vienna quarters that! farmers’ horses were being taken away. These reports were so persistent as to lead the correspondent for The As- sociated Press to attempt a first-hand investigation. This has covered ten typical villages, exclusive of this lit- tle capital, with talks here and there with peasants in the fields or along the roads. It is fair to say that in the region visited no evidence in support of the alleged Hungarian oppression or re- quisitioning was to be had. The net {impression gained was that the ma- jority of the ‘population in the ‘locali- ties covered are in favor of union with Austria. ‘One reason assigned by the peasants was’ because ‘the Magyars, they said, had never given them proper schools. Their children were poorly taught, if’ taught at all, and they at least knew thé Austrians had good schools. Then, Vienna was their market. Budapest was a long way off. The ‘Hungarian official classes were “unsympathetic with the farmer” and so on. This was echoed in other towns. ‘Naturally, there was dissent. Here and there men talked of the Vienna Communist government with which they wanted nothing to do, Here in Odenburg at present an Allied commission is sitting, compos- ed of British, French and Italian of- ficers, watching over affairs until the Austrians take hold! This is a vine country. It has al- ways looked to Hungary for its grain supply and fear exists that this may be cut off. Thus the economic prob- lem assumes a very vital phase for Austria which must supply ‘at least as much grain as this region has re- ceived heretofore. While the territory involved is small and the- population only about 300,- 000, the strategic aspect of this area porbably is its most important one. Austria’s present frontier is regarded as ‘dangerous in that Vienna and ‘Wiener-Neustadt, as well as many other industrial centers lying along the main line of the railway, are but a little distance from Hungary, easily | open to attack from the more power- | ful neighbor. The acquisition of Ger- | man West Hungary is thus a defens- ive terrain for Austria.

The young prisener who, after kill- ing the girl, washed his hands in a little brook and returned promptly to/ the scene where he’ talked with the police, is a study in criminal psychol- ogy. It is believed a mania for vio- lence seized him after Miss Schneider resisted his attempts at love-making. n appearance he is by no means abnormal. His first, explanation was dad him to kill her. KANSAS FARIS RAISE RECORD WHEAT GROPS Topeka, May 3%.-Kansas farmers) raised the record wheat crop of 1919) —approximately 150,000,000 bushels, | which was marketed for $290,000,000 -—at a loss of 43 cents an acre, state average. This conclusion was reach- ed by Secretary J. C. Mohler of the. State Board of Agricultuure, based on an-analysis of the crop, from question- aires of 2040 wheat growers in all counties in the state. Of the total acreage, 76 per cent show a loss; 24 per cent a gain. Only in the western third of the state was the grain raised at a profit. The sec- retary summarized his report as fol- lows: Entire State Cost per acre Return per acre Loss per acre ..

The going wage of a farm hand for his labor; for the greater part of his time devoted to wheat, $55 a month and ‘board. A compensation of $2.50 a day for his services as a manager for the time devoted to wheat, an average of ninety-seven days a year. Sufficient allowances to cover nec- essary repairs and replacements. One-third his house rent. ‘Some protection against crop fail- ures, through charging to the acres harvested the cost of seed and seed-j ing the acres that are on the average | abondoned : annually. Secretary (Mohler said: “A con- siderable cash balance in the wheat grower's hands at the end of the sea- son does not necessarily mean a profit. The large gross returns from the crop and the fact that it left a balance temporarily large in the ac- counts of many farmers should not be allowed to hide the loss sustained.” REFUSE HEARING Washington, May 3.—The supreme court today refused to grant the gov- ernment’s request for a rehearing of the antitrust suit against the ‘United States Steel corporation. { back without question if HUNT'S Salve feile in the treatment of ITCH, Ei ¥ RINGWORM, TETTER o¢ other itching skin diseases.

The only motive in making this gen- eral reduction, said the advertisement,‘ is “a consciencious sense of duty’ made necessary by the reports of government investigators that prices are still on the upward turn.

MILITARY HONOR Youth Who Died in Siberia Has, Big Funeral at Al- py. hes mont Almont, N. “a.

If he can be’ persuaded to call a special session of the Jegislature, ‘ft is believed ‘Solons from Stamford, Bridgeport, | Danbruy, New Haven-and other parts will gladly inscribe names upon that roll of fame which will make them immortal as the men who “took the suffer out of woman suffrage.” They were all ready to honor the legislature of Delaware as legislators had never been honored before. They even had a photograph made of some of the leaders of the cause raising the banner of triumph over their headquarters—said photograph not to be used until that triumph had been accomplished—but something slipped in Dover, From one state to another a flying squadron has been sounding out in turn legislature and governors of the tardy or recaleftrant thirteen who have not yet ratified the amendment and now they have decided to issue~a call for concentration of all “efforts upon Connecticut. cet Orders are said to have been sent forth from suffrage grand headquar- ters for each of the forty-seven other states in the Union to send their most eloquent speaker to Connecticut to talk to Governor Holcomb.

A “wéek of concentrated and con- solidated protest” is scheduled for Connecticut beginning 'May 3, and the Nutmeg state may never again have such a chance fo attain lasting glory. The suffrage hosts apparently are not a whit discouraged by their prev- ious failure, but only more deter- mined to press their campaign to a victorious conclusion. The. call ‘for the new attack follows close upon the fauure of the campaign in Vermont, ° where women from every county in the state, with some outside advice in ‘the way of general staff, besieged the governor for a hearing April 21. The victory of the woman suffrage movement is no longer in doubt, The women are sure of ratification for their amendment. But the delay in their celebration is what seems to be worrying them. If we are sure to have it, why not now, seems to be their watchword.
