Bn Associated Press.
Paris, Aug. 16. —Dignitaries of

iterated their requests that former
Emperor Charles assume an active
part in Austrian affairs, according
to a dispatch received here from

monarch was sounded on the sub

control at Budapest.
The last discussion is reported to
have been quite long, emissaries at

assumption of power in Hungaty

At this Ozmn, who had been listen

to Dorothy from her chariot, asking:
"Why did the Princess lock you up,

"Because," exclaimed Dorothy, "I

RUMANIA MAY
NOT STRIP HUNS
Supreme Council Declares
Common Administration of
Allies Will Fix Reparation
By Associated Preen.
| Pails, Friday, Aug:. 15. —Rumania
will not be permitted to strip Hun
gary, according to the draft of the
I Supreme Council's reply to the last
note from Bucharest, which was
completed at to-day's meeting* of the
council. The Bucharest government
is informed that the fixing of the
amount of reparation to he made by
Hungary, as well as its distribution,
is a matter under control of the Al
lied and Associated Powers, and
1 that until final decision is reached,
! all war, railway and agricultural
| material now in Hungary and sub
ject to distribution will be under the
common administration of the Al
j lied Powers. The text of the reply
I follows:
I "The Peace Conference, withbut
| reverting to a ce tain number of
i points which call for corrections on
1 KS par , notes with satisfaction the
j Rumanian declaration th t it m
-1 tends to work in agreement with
! the policy which the conference
j adopts in Hungary. it interprets
| this declaration as an indication
j that Rumania, as a state partici-
I pating in the Peace Conference, m
i tends to conform to the decisions of
1 the conference communicated
I through the military mission dele
] gated to Budapest by the Supreme
| Council.
Explain Policies
"Directions sent three times by
| the conference to the mission of
j Allied generals and communicated
! to Bucharest have defined explicitly
i and in detail the present policies of
the Allied Powers toward Hungary,
| the disarmament of Hungarian
j troops, the maintenance of order
j with the smallest possible number
; of foreign troops, the revictualing
!of Hungary and the abstention
! from all interference of the internal
politics of Hungary, preserving for
that country a free expression of
the national will.
"The Supreme Council insists on
the fact that final recovery of war,
railway or agricultural ntaterial, o r
of cattle, etc., cannot occur at pres
ent. According to the principles of
i the Peace Conference, accepted i>y
all the Allies and applied in par
ticular in the Treaty of Peace with
Germany, it is the right of the as
sembly of the Allied and Associated
Powers alone to fix the reparation
to be made by Hungary and deter
mine upon its distribution among
interested states. Neither the Ru
manian Army nor the Rumanian
government has the right itself to
fix Rumania's share, assets of all
kinds belonging to Hungary being
a pledge held by the Allied Powers
in common."
Delivery of the Rumanian note.
In which the Bucharest government
claimed that the Rumanians in con
fiscating property in Hungary were
"merely getting back their own
property" and insisted that the
armistice of November, 1918, "no
longer exists," was delayed, accord
ing to a statement made by the Ru
i manian delegation to-day because
I of its great length and the difficulty
I experienced in decoding it. The
j Rumanian delegates declared that
| they wished it to be understood that
ino amendments to the note were
| added following its arrival here.

rioting also occurred at Coal Island,

_The trouble at Lisburn took place
I after the National'sts had attended

ily. "I had forgotten all about her.
I That was yesterday, you know, and a
I Princess cannot be expected to remem
ber to-day what she did yesterday.
Come with me, and I will release the
prisoner at once."
So Ozma followed her, and they
passed up the stairs that led to the
room in the tower.
While they were gone Ozma's fol- .
lowers remained in the drawing-room. I

a form that he had mistaken for a cop- 1

I said suddenly in his ear:
"Get off my foot .please. You are
scratching my polish."
"Oh, excuse me!" he replied, hastily ;
drawing back. "Are you alive?"
No, ' said Tiktok, "I am only a ma
chine. But I can think and speak and
act, when I am pro-per-ly wound up. 1 ,
Just now my ac-tion is run down, and j
Dor-o-thy has the key to it."
"That's all right," replied the Scare
crow. "Dorothy will spon be free, and
then she'll attend to your works. But
it must be a great misfortune not to
be alive. I'm sorry for you."
"Why?" asked Tiktok.

"Oh yes, I have, " returned Tiktok. I
"I 'am fit-ted with Smith & Tin-ker's ;

They are what make me think. What
sort of branis are you fitted with?"
"I don't know," admitted the Scare

Have you a conscience?"
"No," said Tiktok.
"And no heart, I suppose?" added
the Tin Woodman, who had been listen
ing with interest to this conversation.
"No," said Tiktok.
"Then," continued the Tin Woodman,
. "I regret to say that you are gr.eatly
inferior to my friend the Scarecrow,
and to myself. For we are both alive,
and he l.as brains which do not need
to be wound up, while I have an ex
cellent heart that is continually beat
ing in my bosom."
"I con-grat-u-late you," replied Tik
tok. "I cannot help being your in-fer
i-or for I am a mere ma-chine. When
I am wound up I do my du-ty by going
just as my ma-chin-er-y is made to go.
You have no i-dea how full of ma
chin-er-y I am."
"I can guess," said the Scarecrow,
looking at the machine man curiously.
"Some day I'd like to take you apart 4
and see just how you are made."
"Bo not do that. I beg of you," said
Tiktok; "for you could not put me to
gcth-er again, and my use-ful-ness
would be destroyed."
"Oh! are you useful " asked the
Scarecrow, surprised.
"Ve-ry," said Tiktok.
"In that case." the Scarecrow kindly
promised, "I won't fool with your in
i terior at all. For I an a poor me
chanic, and might mix you up."
"Thank you," said Tiktok.
Just then Ozma re-entered the room,
leading Dorothy by the hand and fol
lowed closely by the Princess I-ang
widere.

thias Erzberger, vice-premier and
minister of finance, in a sharp reply

to-day he intended to remain in
office as long as ho had the confi

any ministers of the new regime
who have retired have received pen
sions, saying that, on the contrary, •
they have been obliged to refund
part of their salaries. Herr Erzber
ger declared that a forced loan was
an economic impossibility and add- .
ed that if the Entente should try to .
take possession of Germany's Indus- ■
