? : \ "RIRGENCAND FIGHT [ SCONPLGATED Itajians, Czechs and Serbs hvolved, While Hungary ‘_ Spars for Time. BY A. R. DECKER. > By Cable to The Star aud Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 192 VIENNA, Austria, September 28.— The situation created by Hungary's procrastination in transterring Burg- enland or West Hungary to Austria. « as provided by the peace treaty. be- comes more complicated daily. The Austrians accuse the Hungarians of sparring for time, and their conten- tion seems to be correct, because both the official and unofficial acts of Hungary tend toward everything ex- cept giving up the territory. Hungary iIs still actuated by the old slogans, “Hungary has ~been ? within the same frontiers 1,000 years and “Nem, nem, soha’™ or “No, no. never,” meaning that the country will never submit to territorial amputa- tions. Already Delayed a Month. West Hungary was to have been transterred a month ago, but it is still held in part by Hungarian regu- lars and In part by Hungarian guer- rillas. Italy is annoyed at the Hungarians because, after sending a note through Minister Toretta agreeing to yield the territory, provided plebiscite followed, they approached the Czechs. Then, too, Italy is afraid that the Czechoslovak diplomats will _either settle the dispute, thus winning pres- tige for the “litile entente” or the Czechs and Serbs will enter the de- sired corridor across Burgenland. The Czecns are worried lest they be asked to enforce the treaty by fighting or are attacked in Slovakia by the closing to them of the Hun- garian markets and the route to the Balkans, for the Hungarians control an_important stretch of the Danube. The Austrians are sorely troubled because they do not want a dispute with any one. They are afraid to ac- cept offers of mediation for fear that all will produce enmities. Meanwhile the Hungarians are sitting tight in west Hungary and making occasional } raids, which cause few casualties, but Y stop all traffic except by the Danube. Budapest in Uproar. Budapest itself is in somewhat of an uproar. There is the regent, Ad- miral Horthy, who wishes to hoid a good job as & near-king. There are satellics, such as Fredrich, Pronay and_ Ostenburg, and there are the small farmers, who are afraid that the legitimists will bring back the Austrian King Charles. The socialistic neighbors of Hun- gary, who have a deep-seated grudge against that country for overthrow- ing Bela Kun, are flercely attacking the Hungarian royalists. The Vienna Arbiter Zeitung ran a caption read- ing “The Hapsburg’s Drink Blood in West Hungary in Order to Regain the Throne Lost in the War.” Meanwhile the Pan Germans are working to bring west Hungary in- tact into Austria, in order eventually to make Germany larger and to gain monarchist_supporters, namely, offi- cers, churchmen and iandlords, who are dreaming of a new southern em- vpire of monarchical confederation and the return of a king or kings. ACTION AFFECTS PRESS. Munich-Berlin Agreement Approv- ed Gives Authority to States. MUNICH, Bavaria, September 28.— An agreement reached at Berlin on September 24 between representatives of the Bavarian and central German governments has been adopted by the constitutional committee of the Ba- varian diet. _This®agregment is inc tended, to effect an adjustment of the comtroversy which has been rag- ing pelween Munich and Berlin for somevitme, and the diet committee’s vote showed only five adverse ballots, these being cast by members of the Bavarian middle party. One of the provisions of the agree- ment makes the authorities of indi- vidual German states responsible for the suspension or suppression of newspapers. This was one of the principal causes of contention be- tween the two governments. PERMITS NEGOTIATIONS. Council of Ambassadors Replies to Hungarian Note. ssociated Press. i RIS, September 28.—Hungary agsent a note to the council of am- adors here declaring it is ready nd Willing to carry out the instruc- tions of the council with regard to Burgenland, the strip of territory along the frontier. between Austria and Hungary. awarded to the former country by the Trianon treaty. Hun- gary asked approval of the council for direct negotiations with Austria #or a settlement of the question. i The council has drafted a reply saying there is no objection to direct negotiations or mediation by a third party if the order of the council for evacuation of Burgenland by Hun- gary is first observed. —_— PICK LEGION DELEGATES.

NEW YORK, September 28.—Evi- dence that bobbed hair and rclled stockings were reaching tha epi- demic stage was seen yesterday with the opening of” several more ex- clusive New York schools for girls. Statisticians estimated that in one fashionable Brooklyn school the longs were tied with the shorts and the rolled-downs with the rolled- ups. While not daring actually to dock their locks a la Greenwich Village, several young teachers were found simulating the fashion of New York’s Latin quarter by puffing the hair over the ears and rolling it under all around the head. IFRE REVENTION DAY, OCTOBER 10 President Asks Governors to Fix Date of Chicago Fire Anniversary. State governors were requested by President Harding in a proclamation isgued yesterday to designate October 10, anniversary of the Chicago fire, as | Fire Prevention day. The proclpmation set forth that fire causes an annual loss of life estimated at 15,000, in addition to many mililons of property damage, including valu- able timber. It follows: “Whereas the United States suffers through destruction by fire an annual loss of life estimated at 15,000 human beings, most of them women and chil- dren: and “Whereas, in the face of the world's dire need for American products, our fire losses increased during 1920 to over $500,000,000, and during the pre- vious five-year period totaled over $1.416,875,000—buildings, foodstufts and other created wealth needlessly wiped out of existence; and “Whereas, in addition to the above, forest fires during the five years end- ed with 1920 further reduced our diminishing timber resources by a to- tal of over $85,000,000, also threaten- ing with aridity over 56,000,000 acres of hitherto productive woodland: and “Whereas most of our fire losses are due to carelessness and ignoranee and may be easily prevented by increased care and education' on the part of citizens: “Therefore, I. Warren G. Harding, President of the United States, do urge upon the governors of = the various_states to designate and set avart October 10, 1921—anniversary of the Chicago fire—as Fire Preven- tion day, with these principal objects in view, to wit: “To request the citizens of their states to plan for that day and period, through pulpit, through open forum and through the schools, such in- structive and educational exercises as shall impress the pubilc mind with the calamitous effects and threat- ened economic disaster of such un- necessary fire waste; “To urge, as an everyday duty of citizenship, individual and collective efforts in conserving our country's natural and created resources, and “To promote systematic instruction in fire prevention in our schools, con- stant observance of the ordinary pre- cautions that safeguard us from fires and an orderliness in home and com- munity that we may overcome this lurking peril “Fire is a danger that never sleeps.” _— ASSIGNED TO U.

Right of the District of Columbia to have representation in Congress and to vote for its administrative heads was upheld by speakers at a meeting of the Iowa Circle Citizens’ Asaociation last night at the North- minister Presbyterian Church. William H. De Lacy, former judge of the Juvenile Court, said residents of the District shouid have repre- sentation in Congress and should be entitled to vote for their Commis- sioners, their school officials and their judges. He added, however, that he believed there should be no attempt to set up a state form of government here or to establish the District as a state, as in that case he feared the seat of government might be moved away from the District. Traces City’s History. Judge De Lacy traced ghe history of the city from the time Jefferson and Adams compromised on its location. to the present. He -characterized Theodore Roosevelt as the greatest world figure of his time, and con- gratulated the people of the District on living in a city where great men made their homes. Isaac Gans, the other speaker, said the people of the District should have a representative in Congress to voice their opinions on legislation before its’ enactment. He urged the people of this city to get acquainted with members of Congress. “They are human beings, just as all of us,” he added. Opportunity Offered. Mr. Gans sald Washington is facing a great opportunity in entertaining the delegates to the conference on limitation of armament. He said prob- ably 20,000 visitors would be in this city for about six months. “We should brush up our District for these visitors.” Mr. Gans said. “Our gardens should be made a little cleaner and our property made a lit- tle neater, that these distinguished visitors may go away with the im- pression of Washington as beautiful city in the world. The regular order of business was suspended on mation of Dr. H. M. Fulton. and all business was carried over until the next meeting. A musi- feal program was presented by A. W. Homier, tenor, and Edgar Perkins, bass, accompanied by Mrs. H. M. Ful- ton. President H. K. Fulton presided. [ —— NIGHT SCHOOLS TO OPEN. Organization Program to Be Com- pleted This Afternoon.

Questionnaires Sent Out. Copies of a questionnaire prepared by the Department of Commerce, COV- ering housing information desired in connection with the program outlined by the .federal officlals, have been distributed by President Hiett among the various real estate organizations comprising membership of the Na- tional Association of Real Estate Boards. One of these questionnaires has been received by the local real- tors’ body. with the request that a special committee of three members be immediately appointed to collect the data necessary to answer the queries presented by Secretary Hoover. Problems for Local Board. Among_questions which the local board will ‘endeavor to answer for the government are: Is there a shortage of second trust money, and at what rate of discount? ‘What relation does the value of a lot bear to the value of a house and lot? ‘What percentage of houses in your city are brick, frame, stucco and tile. Has your city a zoning ordinance? A building ordinance? KING ALEXANDER IMPROVES. VERSAILLES, September 27.—King Alexander of Jugoslavia, who has been ill here, was much improved today.

Members of Washington's light- fingered colony netted several hun- dred dollars as the result of yester- day's activities: From the residence of 524 3d street, 18340 was taken by sneak thieves. Ernest J. Wylie reported to the police that between 1 and 2 o'clock yester- day afternoon some one entered his room and stole a $30 suit, a $50 over- coat, a watch valued at $25 and other articles valued at $5. At the same time, John W. Quidema reported en- try had been forced into his room at the above address and clothes, valued at $70, taken, in addition to a small alarm clock. The third victim at the same address. and presumably of the same thief, is Wade Weeks, who lost two suits of clothes valued at $105, an overcoat valued at $50 and a suit- case worth $2. Ernest Studer, the fourth to make a report from that address, was lucky. He lost only a safety razor valued at $3. A “jimmy” was used to open the door of apartment 32, at 1869 Mint- wood place, where jewelry valued at $15 was stolen from Miss E. W. Cross. Two gentlemen walked up to the home of Mrs. A. B. Garrett, at 1v4 4th street southeast late yesterday afternoon and inquired about the possibilities of getting a room. While they were in the house a diamond ring valued at $50, a pearl ring val- ued at $15, a wedding ring and other articles of jewelry valued at $15 dis- appeared. J Another House Entered. Again the telltale mark of the “jimmy” was in evidence yesterday at the apartment of Miss Elizabeth Roe, 1432 R street northwest. The front door was jimmied during the absence of residents of the house and jewelry valued at $22 was stolen from Miss Roe. Miss Estelle An- thony of the same address lost $12 in jewelry; Miss Bertha son and Mrs. S. S. Sparks had articles stolen from them valued at $15. | wait another day before making the PREVIERHOLDS P DE VALERA RELY Anxious for All Members of Cabinet to See Draft. No Hitch in Plans.

It was declared the note would make it clear that the confer- ence had been called to discuss Irish self-government within the empire, but that nothing contained in the message would make impossible its jacceptance by the Sinn Fein, or de- mand explicit concurrence with the British standpoint as a condition to the conference. There was general confidence that the meeting would be held. Few Changes Made. Members of the cabinet have re- turned to Mr. Lloyd George their memoranda upon draft of the note, and it was understood today they had suggested nothing more than minor alterations.
