HUNGARY IS THANKED. ‘\Ambassadors Commend '~ Action Which Averts Menace of War. BY A. R. DECKER. By Cable fo The Star and Chicago Dally News. Copyright, 1921. VIENNA, Austria, Nov Count Banfty, the Hungarian minister of foreign affairs, has been handed a Tote emanating from the council of j:ambassaders, thanking the Hungari- an government for its energetic ac- on in averting for the second time the menace of war from central ZlyEHFODO and demanding that the per- fitzon of ex-King Charles shall be de- ivered to the commander of the Brit- ish gunboat flotilla now lying in the Danube off Galatz, The demand reads that this is'“for the protection of the king.” The plan seems to be to em- i'bark Charles on a British gunboat, fiwhich will take him to the lower [Danube. where he will be put on the icruiser Chatham and held until the iplace of his final internment is de- ded upon. The big entente and the ittle _entente both further demand iithat the Hungarian parliament shall ’l;{nrce the abdication of the Hapsburg itiline, probably through the passage of ia law annulling all the rights of the {{Hapsburgs to the throne. ‘War Again Averted. Thus the menace of war at this time seems to have been avoided. However, Hungary is still surrounded by the bayonets of the little entente. "The Czechs have nearly 300,000 men under arms and the Serbs have called to the colors the classes of 1917, 1918 ftand 1919, while the Rumanians have Himobilized partially. The demands of the little entente have been tempered ifby the action of the hig entente in flidemanding that Europe shall not be plunged into another war. The nations in the little entente now Dlete the fulfilling of the treaty of {iTrianon without involving Hungarian ‘internal affairs. This is quite differ- from the original demands for itary sanctions with the Serbs oc- little entente has more than 700,000 #imen under arms. The Hungarians Zhave about 180.000 and are surround- fi‘ d. The treaty of Trianon allows ungary only 35000 men, Wwhich ‘would place her at the mercy of any peighbor except Austria. Burgenland Source of Trouble. The scene of trouble is apt to shift o Burgenland, in which centers all he .complications of the central Eu- Hi¥opeon questions, namely, the trans- er to Austria of specified zones, over- soming the guerrillas and the opposi- ion of Italy to a corridor between ugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. All he legations are maintaining silence nd the negotiations are being con- jucted in secrecy. Nearly every capi- al has a private wire, which is kept hot with messages between the diplo- mats. The most that the legations admit is that the little entente is orking in hapmeay with the big en- ente. {By the Associated Press. BUDAPEST, November 3.—Former mperor Charles would be deprived £ royal prerogatives by the terms of bill prepared by the ministry of | -e for introduction in national ~mbly of Hungary today.

Work on the part of Headquarters Detectives Pratt and Laurier resulted in the arrest Monday morning of Charles Moore, who was brought into Police Court today, charged with housebreaking. The defendant plead- ed not guilty and was held by Judge Mattingly under bonds of $5,000 to await action of the grand jury. The plaintiff, Fred A. Shuitz, of 1613 14tk street, stated that upon return- ing home Sunday night he found a window had been pried loose and a camera and lenses valued at $500 had been stolen. He notified headquar- ters, and Detectives Pratt and Lau- rier were sent to the scene of the robbery. The detectives, .after in- specting the premises, decided that there was a chance that the man who had taken them might be found at Union station. The detectives and Mr. Shultz im- mediately went there, and after look- ing through the parcel and checking room identified Mr. Shultz's property. A watch was placed there, and the next morning Moore presented the check and clalmed the camera outfit. He was arrested and taken to hea quarters, where the detectives stated that he said he and a friend took the outfit and were going to dispose of it in New York_city. Search is now being made for Moore's friend. $6,000 MORTGAGE PAID. Grace Episcopal Church to Burn Document on November 30.

Workers in this city showed that only six of the soft coal mines were work- ing in Indiana. These mines in opera- tion were scattered throughout the district and none of them are large producers. President John Hessler of the dis- trict union was holding in abeyance the issuance of a formal strike order and it was stated at union headquar- ters that such steps likely would not be necessary at the mines. Officials assert that witbin another day all mines in the district will be closed. Reports received here also said that most of the mines in the Brazil block coal fleld, adjacent to Terre Haute, also were closed. No Plans Complete. PITTSBURGH, November 3.—Presi- dent Robert R. Gibbons of Distriot No. 5, United Mine Workers of Amer- ica, who yesterday was notified by the Pittsburgh Coal Producers’ As- socfation that it would discontinue the “check-off,” said today that no plans :lixve yet been made to meet the situa- on. Commissioner R. W. Gardiner of the association explained that the letter sent to the union dealt only wtih the collection of the union dues and had nothing whatever to do with the col- lection of money for the pay of check weighmen. The association, he said, took the position that the men had a right to have a. representative on every tipple when their coal was weighed, and, as the scale provided for the collection of money to pay the check weighman the plan would be continued. ATHENS, Ohio, November 3.—At least two thousand miners employed on operations in the Hocking coal flelds today joined in the protests against abolition of the “check-off’ system, failing to report for work. This makes the total number of miners who have walked out in this fleld . approximately three thousand. According to reports received here, more were expected to discontinue work during the day. —_— ALBANIA BEING INVADED. Greeks Strike From South and Jugoslavs From North.

Samuel Woodfill of Madison, Ind., “the foremost American hero of the world war,” heads the list of five Army heroes selected to serve in the honorable capacity as a body- bearer at the funeral of the unknown American soldier whose body is now on its way to this couatry on the Olympia. He is the representative of the infantry and four other honor men are to represent other fighting arms of the service. Restrictions were placed on the selection of the bodybearers repre- senting the Army. First, it was im- perative that they have a good record in the world war and have been ac- tually engaged in battle. Second, they must be within one inch of six feet, their weight must be close to the average for their helght, and the sol- dier must be a warrant officer or non- commissioned officer, presenting a good appearance. Sergt. Woodfill met all these requirements and his extraor- dinary service in putting three ma- chine gun nests out of commission and killing the officers and men— nineteen in all—in charge, placed him at the head of the list. Sergt. Taylor Chosen. First Sergt. Harry Taylor, Head- quarters Troop, 1st Cavalry Brigade, was chosen to represent the mounted arm. He has been in the cavalry since 1900 and has seen service in the Philippine Islands and in France.

He took part in the battle of St. Mihiel, the Meuse- Argonne and along the Scheldt, in Belgium. Sergt. Thomas D. Saunders, Com- pany A, 2d Engineers, was chosen by the chief of engineers to represent that branch. He served with the 2d Division in France, and took part in all of the actions of that command. He has been In the Army since May 12, 1917, _when he enlisted at Cheyenne, Wyo. Saunders Captured 63 Men. Sergt. Saunders was awarded the distinguished service cross November 22, 1918, for entering the village of Jaulny, in_the Argonne, ahead of the troops and cleaning up the dugouts in the town. With one other man, Sergt. Saunders took sixty-three pris- oners from these dugouts.

China’s condition today is worse than at any other time in the repub- lic's history. Besides the division be- tween the north and the south the southerners and northerners are di- vided among themselves. The Peking government's financial position is hopeless. The judges, un- paid for many mofiths, threaten to close the courts. The police, teachers and minor officials threaten to strike utinies are fearcd in the un paid army, and 1 No_real gov- ernment has existed in Peking for months. The oflicials are un: exert authority in the prov side the capital. The provinces can- not collect revenues on account of the local militarists commandecring the same to meet their military expendi- tures. Much of this enue is pledged to pay foreign ns which the government cannot meet. Soldiers Surround Peking. Thirty thousand disappointed sol- diers have surrounded Peking and are threatening to take the law into their own hands unless back pay is given them. Ten thousand more are march- ing on Pcking from Jehol for the ex- purpose of demanding_ their These soldiers include China's cSt fighters, and grave fears are en- tertained that it means trouble in Peking. Every night the native bank- ers bring in gold, silver and securi- ties to the legation quarter for safe- keepin Robbery and brigandage are ram- pant in nearly every province, espe- cially on the Yangisze river, where foreign ships are continually being fired on. The allied w i Chinese waters have for ron for joint protection of for- eizne eral parts of China i foreigne re held prisoners by tbandits for ransom. The government is unable to stop the opium cultiv tion becau the militarisis want the opium profits for their own purpose. Would Stave Off Bankruptey. What little unity there is in the government is prompted by a desire to stave off bankruptey until the Washington conferen ended. Tn- doubtedly Sun Yat Sen’s threatened campaign against the north is due to his desire to emba the Chinese delegation in Washington by show- ing “the disorganized condition of China today.
