Hospital Rummage Sale
Promises to Be Biggest
of Kind Held in Years
With the annual rummage sale
only two weeks ahead, Harrisburg
people who are interested in the Har
risburg Hospital, for the benefit of
which the sale is to be held, are com
pleting plans for what promises to
be the greatest sale of them all. An
other class interested is that which
hopes to secure some of the bargains
always found at this big feature.
Mrs. Marlin E. Olmsted to-day an
nounced a number of additions to
the list of committees made public
last week. Mrs. E. P. Dunlap is add
ed to the committee on house fur
nishings, Miss Mildred Astrich to the
notions committee.
The committeemen named last
week have been very busy for several
days. Their job right now is to con
vince Harrisburg that the rummage
sale is the best place in the world to
send articles of clothing or house
hold use. These articles are to be re
ceived in the old post office building,
April T, 8 and 9. The sale proper be
gins the morning of April 10. It will
continue for three days.
A suggestion received to-day was
that the rummage sale be advanced
each year to the forepart of Janu
ary.
"I think." said the suggestor.
"that the sale should lie held as soon
as possible after Clitistmas, so that
we could send the majority of our
Christmas presents to it. That's the
best possible solution to the age-long
query, 'What shall we do with our
Christmas presents?' "
This suggestion—a most flippant
one. of coursel May be followed by
those who still have on hand the
Christmas presents they don't want.

adds that certain precautions have
already been taken in such an even
tuality.
French Soldiers at Budapest
Two French divisions ure at
Budapest and several Serbian divi
sions are at Belgrade, ready to take
the Held, and it is believed that, with
the Rumanians, they are capable of
meeting the situation.
Raymond ltecouty, writing in the
Figaro, states on the other hand,
that the divisions in question are
of reduced strength, the Rumanians
being absolutely without equip
ment. Such forces as are scattered
over hundreds of kilometers from
Hanat to Odessa, he says, are quite
insufficient to <-ope with the threat,
which "everything shows is about to
take definite shape."
Germany Sends Courier
Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau,

sent Carl Kautsky, one of the under
secretaries of the foreign ministry,
to Moscow to see the chiefs of the
Soviet government and to furnish

which will allow the Foreign Min
ister to study methods as to the
bringing about of closer political
and economic relations with the
Russian Bolshevik government, says
a Zurich dispatch to the Matin.
Loudon, March 24.—The revolu
tion in Hungary caused great ex
citement in Vienna, but did not sur
prise those who were aware of the
true condition of affairs, says the
Vienna correspondent of the Tele
graph. He says the communists of
Hungary have long been the real
masters of the country and have
been only awaiting an opportunity
to get rid of Count liarolyi, who
is considered to have been never
more than a figurehead.
| The correspondent declares there
I are no elements in Hungary capable
! of making a stand against the cx
| tremista and that even in Czecho
j Slovakia there are strong Bolshevik
■ influences. He pointed out that ex
! ports agree there is very grave dan
i gcr of Bohemia following the ex
j ample of Hungary. The situation is
! attributed by the correspondent to
I the failure of the Peace Conference
i in Paris to recognize the serious
ness of the situation and occupy
Budapest with Entente-troops. He
j says the only way to save the sit
j nation is to send American or Brit-
I ish forces there, hut adds:
' "Where a battalion would have
sufficed formerly, a brigade would
I be necessary now."

Copenhagen. March 24.—Reports
' of wireless exchanges between Niko-
I lai Lenine, the Bolshevik Premier of
; Russia, and the foreign representa
l ti\es of the new Hungarian eom
| n.unistic government are received in
| advices from Budapest. Lenine was
! told that Hungarian proletariat had
| seized power and had introduced a
I proletariat distatorsliip. Greetings
j were sent to Lenine as "leader of the
I international proletariat." Jn greet
, ing the Russian proletariat the new
j Hungarian government expressed
solidarity with the revolutionary
I movement.
, In his reply Lenine stated that he
had submitted tlie Hungarian greet
ing to the Bolshevist congress at
Moscow, which had received it with
great enthusiasm. He added: "In
order to communicate between Mos
cow and Budapest and report on the
military situation, it is necessary to
maintain permanent wireless com
munication between the two cities.'*
He concluded by extending "com
munist greetings and a handshake."
Basle, March 24.—Budapest was
calm Saturday, according to advices
reaching here from that city. Busi- '
ness was virtually suspended but the
streets were animated and posters
were displayed everywhere, appeal-
to the people to continue work.
The l'ood commissioner has issued
n proclamation, saying:
As n result of the manner In
which the Entente acted, wo ,
have allied ourselves to .the
Soviet republic and have placed
ourselves under the protection
of the Soviet's troops. We have
advised them of our decision by
airplane."
The revolutionary government has
appointed commissioners for Buda
pest, it is said. Officers of the mu
nicipality have tendered their resig
nations. but have been asked to re
main at their posts. Financial Com
missioner Varga has notified bank
directors that, reliable bank em
ployes would take up the direction
of affairs.
Amsterdam, March 24.—A demon
stration "against the violation of
German territory under the peace
treaty" was held in Berlin Sunday

most of the Entente Commissioners

American officers, they mistook them
for British and shouted:
"Down ivitii England!"
Amsterdam, March 24.—The Aus
trian Central Workmen's Council has
decided not to join the Hungarian
movement in introducing a soviet
government in Austria, a dispatch
from Vienna says. .The council, it is
declared, pointed out that such a
course was impossible for Austria
because it is dependent on the En
j tente for food.
j llnslc, March 24.—1n concluding its
I proclamation announcing the prole
lariat dictatorship there, the new
| Hungarian government said:
! "The Czecho-Slovak, bourgeous,
| Humanians and annexationist classes
i wisli to overthrow the Hungarian
workers' revolution by force of arms.
We are determined, however, to do
i fend ourselves to the lust drop of

Vienna, March 24.—Asked what ef
fect Hungarian events would have
on the political situation in German
Austria, Here Deutsche, secretary for
military affairs, said to-day:
"If the Entente treats us at It
treats Hungary, no one can guaran
tee what will happen. A people driv
en to despair loses self-control. The
Entente by thoughtless decision,
might lose a bulwark against Bol
shevism which German Austria really
constitutes, if no harm is done it
economically and politically.
