' Against Uniting Jugo

REVENGE ON MAGYARS

heme, Dec. 10.
8trontr dissatisfaction exists among
the republicans at Ajrram, with the
decision of the national council to
Unite Jufjo-Slavla under tho Serbian
6naBty,
News has Just been received here In
directly of disturbances nmom? the
Croatian soldiers on this ground and J
the Aftram Government. It states, has
liau 10 impose a preventive censorsmp.
From tho same source It Is reported
that the Rumanians are unable to oc
cupy Petrozseny, a mining town In
southern Transylvania, because the
Rumanian soldiers havo deserted. i
I cannot vouch for the accuracy of
this news, Blnce it was received hero
from Budapest, which naturally Is dis
posed to make the most of the dis
sensions of its opponents, but judging
front recent events there is nothing lm- i
probable In the reports. j
The former subject nationalities of
"Hungary are now taking revenge for
helr cruel oppression by tho old Mag
yar Government. The Jugo-SIavs. Ru
manians, Ruthenians and Czecho-SIo-yacks
claim In all eighty-three Hungar
i'tan provinces and since in all there
jtro only sixty-three provinces the rival
nationalities are obviously claiming
the same territory. Tho Hungarian
r State, under the present conditions, is
I virtually tho city and republic of
Budapest, with the neighboring steppe
to tho Rumanian line.
' The Allied occupation Is proceeding
smoothly and, according to Magyar
papers, the Rumanian national guard
'Js scrupulously protecting life and
property of all the nationalities in
the occupied area. Czech military
movements are opposed by the Mag
yar national guard and there is a good
deal of skirmishing in northern Hun
gary.! Meanwhile the envoy of the Prague
(Government, Milan Hodza. a famous '
Slovak leader who was persecuted by ,
the old regime for his defense of na
tional rights, has been negotiating with '
Uhe Magyar minister of nationalities,
Jaszy, who published in 1912 a book
advocating a federal solution of Hun-.
tgarlan racial problems-
Slovacks Want Independence I
I In an interview, M. Hodza says that
,a general agreement has been reached
(With the Budapest Government, that
iplghX.whole and eight half provinces
'shall be recognised as Slovak. The
Slovak country will form an auton
omous State, united with Bohemia. The
Czechs are organizing a plebiscite
among tho Slovak population, but u. I
council, speaking in the name of the
eastern Slovak provinces, has sud
denly declared that these provinces
desire to rorm an independent Slovak
State, linked with the Hungarian by
j a customs union. Since the present
Hungarian Government desires tne
formation of an economic federation
,o,f Independent nationalities in former
'Hungarian territory, this declaration
of eastern Slovaks has 'slightly com
fprteU them. But I certainly should
mot presume to express Just now any
, opinion on the authentic desires of
. the Slovak peasantry of northern Hun-
( gary, except that they certainly do
' 'not want to be governed by tho Mag
yars. f. In any case the collapse of tho
.Magyar hegemony has created nn in.
tolerable economic situation. The Hun-,
. ummii i;ui iioms ure occupied py jugo-
Slavs and the Czechs will not let
'coal, through from their rich coal
fields. No territorial agreements seem
to diminish the economic pressure. In-
' response to Vienna's appeals for food
t -the Budapest Government says that
lit is uncertain whether It will be able
to feed its own population, since the
.ncnesi pans or the country are oc
. Jcupied by invaders.

regarded as tne strong man of the situ
ation. There are two Socialist mini..-..
- and a young Socialist, Denesz Diner, as
Jt Karolyi in foreign affairs. An elec- i

has. been passed, and a commission Is
siuaying iana rerorm. So far, the Gov
ernment has kept comparative order, but
it it mroaiena to resign If the Entente does
'not secure economic relief.
Magyar nationalism Is certainly In
low water just now, and that wonder
ful Turanian secret society, whose em
blem was seven stars and which aimed
at uniting the seven Turanian nations
finds the present atmosphere rather suf
focating. Magyar kultur has left 63 per
'cent of the population unable to read or
, write, and the universal suffrage law
j has had to be limited acoordlngly. The
. Magyar republic is navlnc- n ,,...

,W But at present the question is how Is
Vienna to ?' coa'' t0 Be"re transport,

twntr cold and the anarchy which will
inevitably arise when all work stops.

Gimbel Subway Store Offers a Day of Special Holiday Values
This Subway Store with complete stocks of all the kinds of goods we
keep was built, you know, to be fair to the goods and to make your shopping
more completely satisfactory. Used to be, for instance, that silken hosiery from
60c to many dollars was shown at the same counter with the plainest cotton
hosiery. The1 fine ones were badly shown and the every-day ones lost out, by
comparison.
So we run two complete stores and every family needs part of its supply
from each division of the business. Same store; same guarantees; same service.
Less expensive but good goods in the Subway.
