LISTENED IN OX PRIVATE WIRE OF FORMER KAISER ElertricliiiiM Claims to Have Heard Charles, of Austria, Talking To Berlin About Peace. Vienna. April 24. The story of an eavesdropper who says he "listen ed in" on a telephone wire and over heard conversations between the for mer Emperor Charles of Austria and persons In Berlin Just before the host Uittes ended is published by the Nar odnl Polltiken. The eavesdropper was an electrician named Oceanlk, who claims to .have tapped private tele phone wire between Vienna and Ber lln. Oceanik declares that the conver sations between the former Emperor Charles and Berlin were of a purport contrary to that given out to the pub lie. The emperor, he said, always ana wered the telephone call as "Captain Kraus" but sometimes, when he for got, caiiea ntmseir "Kan." He was often heard to deliver a severe verbal castlgatlon to some high staff officers The private wire was at the dlspo sit Ion of others than royalty and the eavesdropper states that a woman's voice from Berlin was frequently heard calling for the emperor. On another occasion somebody in Vienna called up Berlin asking for a picture of s well known German film actress The author of the disclosures as serts thnt he was listening on the se cret wire on October 28 and over heard Berlin asking Vienna for news "We are poncludlnc; peace on the basis of the note Just received In view of the hopeless situation." was Vienna's reply. Soon afterward Vien na called up Berlin and informed some one of the contents of the Aus trian answer accepting President Wll son's points as a basis for peace. This was the last conversation reported over the wire as soon afterward It was cut by a telephone official in Prague.

GERMANY MAY BE ALLOWED JOIN LEAGUE OF NATIONS Wallace Reid Is a Sxeil Demon Wallace Reld has always been speed demon, within limitations. The Paramount star has trouble In keep Ing within the speed laws even In his car, such is the Impulse to crowd on the juice and hit only the high spots. He admits however,, that when he got up to 90 miles an hour the other day at Santa Monica, Calif., while making scenes for "The Roaring Koad," his new Paramount picture, which will be displayed, at the Strand theatre next Friday, he went as rapid ly as he cared to go. He had not even a mechanician with him, but only Guy Oliver, of the stock company. At one time going 90 miles an hour, they barely escaped a pill that would probably have been fatal. I simply held my breath," re marked Oliver, "and waited for the smash." Wallace Reld doesn't say how he felt about It. At the famous Santa Monica death curve, they made higher speed than ever before in the history of auto rac- ng at that particular spot. Mr. Reld's car skidded taking the turn and the driver of another speed car skidding wide to avoid a collision, grazed the curb for a block. From all accounts this is the most exciting picture In which the athletic star has ever appeared. Ann Little is leading woman and there is an ex cellent cast supporting them.

It is said that five days after the presentation of the reply of the allies the Germans must give notice as to whether they propose to sign the peace treaty. Bumtown and Goorttown. The following comparison of two towns which may be found in any state in the Union, appeared on pages 10 and 11 of the June Health Bulle tin, published by our State Board of Health in Raleigh. It would be well for us to read and digest this article which says in part: Bumtown was Inhabited by some of the best people In the State, kindly, accommodating and easy-going. They had excellent sanitary regulations ail printed in plain English on paper and most of them could read. They would not have hurt a fly, and, in fact, they seldom did. It was the business of the town government and the health officers, armed with these nice laws, to bring health to Bum town. The citizens felt no responsl bility, individually or collectively, But the city government was com posed of good, kindly, fairly tntelll rent, average citizens, who were elected to give a nice, quiet, neigh borly government to Bumtown, and who honestly tried to do so. "Laws were not to be taken too seriously; to enforce these sanitary laws strictly might offend some of our best citi zens. We are getting on very well." So said they all. No citizen, meanwhile, complained of the lack of law enforcement, or saw in it a cause of the high death rate. If any one was shot, the shooter was promptly punished. The shootee knew he was hurt and who hurt him, and Immediately got busy. The gov eminent and the citizens were oppos ed to open crimes of violence that en danger the lives of Innocent people. But, when it came to sanitary mat ters, nobody made any fuss. It would not be nice or popular. As to the death rate, they were sure there was some mistake about It. Thev said they liked a quiet life. But, as hey continued to die. It rather look d as though many of them preferred death and an early one. Still, If one looked carefully, he would have ob served that the very best cltizena spit on the sidewalks, that food waa sold under most unsanitary conditions, that the sections in which the serv ants lived who served the food were refused proper water and sewerage facilities, that flies were bred in sta bles permitted to be run under con ditions contrary to law, that for the servants a vile surface privy on the lot was considered good enough, and above and beyond all, that press and pulpit were silent on the moral re- ponsibillty of each man for the health of his neighbor. The city government of Goodtown had no easy time. They had to fight some of the oldest citizens, but they well knew that that was .what they ere elected for. and that failure to enforce the law strictly on every one ould surely prevent their re-elec tion. The press fearlessly told the hole truth about health .conditions and violations ot law. The pulpit Joined with the press In preaching that any one was a fool who did not look out for the health of others for his own sake, and no christian If he did not so for the sake of others. Hence, every one felt a conscientious responsibility for the life and health of every one else, everybody loved ev erybody, and the life insurance com panies Just loved the town. Which town would you prefer to live in? Like which town are you trying to make your town? Tri-bunus. TEXAS GOVERNOR WANTS MORE MEX SENT TO BORDER Wire War Department That Soldiers - are Required to Protect Live and Property of State's Citizen Southern Commander Will Advise. Declaring that the Mexican situa tion is so critical that a larger force of troops on the border Is necessary to protect lives and property of citi zens. Governor Hobby of Texas, has requested Secretary Baker to call In to the federal service ..he first and second brigades of Texas cavalry and to mobilize them at a convenient point. The war department immediately telegraphed the commanding eeueral of the southern department, who has charge of the border guard, asking his views on the request and for any information bearing upon the situa tion described by Governor Hobby. oovernor Hobby's telegram to Sec retary Baker follows: "The Mexican situation appears to be so critical that an emergency mar arise at the most unexoected moment requiring a larger force of trooua on the border to protect lives and prop erty or citizens than are at present available. I appreciate that for bor der duty cavalry is the most effective arm of the service and I also appre ciate that the regular army is short of cavalry. Therefore, I respectfully urge and recommend that the first and second brigades cavalry, national guard of Texas, be called into the federal service. I urge that the call include brigade commanders and bri gade headquarters detachments so that the cavalry organization may go intact under command of two brigade commanders. I also suggest mobiliza tion be fixed for definite date not less than 20 days from date of call in ord er that officers and men can arrange personal affairs and such officers and men have dependents and for other satisfactory reasons may be discharg ed and their places filled with others who will be available to go Into active service. This 20 days period will also provide time to arrange details for transportation and camp. I suggest Camp Maybry at Austin as mobiliza tion camp. My anxiety that lives and property of citizens be amply protect ed and my knowledge of conservatism and efflcency of officers and men of Texas cavalry brigades prompts this suggestion." 3,000 PEASANTS IX WESTERN HUNGARY HAVE BEEN SHOT Entire Village of Kolnhof Burned When Inhabitant Refused Bolshe vism und Wished to Join Austria. Three thousand peasants including women and children have been shot or hanged by the red army as a con sequence of revolts In western Hun gary around Oerdenburg. according to news considered trustworthy and sent out by the Associated Press. The entire village of Kolnhof was burned. The massacre took place after 32 villages surrounding Oerdenburg had refused to go over to bolshevlsm. They desired to Join Austria. Bela Run, communist leader and minister of foreign affairs, and Jo seph Pogany, bolshevik minister of war, visited the districts, then sent orders to Commissioner Semely. to whom such class of work Is usually deputed because of his blood thirsty character, to conduct requisitions of clothing, food and Imperial paper crowns, now called "blue" money, to distinguish it from "red," or Soviet money. The peasants, according to the ad vices, gathered a small army, num bering a few thousand, armed with rifles, axes, scythes and similar weap ons, against which a red division was sent. The peasants were surrounded. Kolnhof was shelled; then machin guns were turned against it on Thursday and Friday nights. A ma jority of those fleeing from the burn ing village were shot. Those who were captured were hanged. For School Children. Fifteen million hand grenades will become coin savings banks for American school children under a plan announced by the Savings Division of the Treasury Department. The former weapons were manu factured for eventual delivery to ine American army, but the armistice was signed and the. War Department decided to sell them. The treasury, however, thought the souvenir value" of the weapons should be preserved nd took them over. Each grenade ill be provided with a slot, Into hich either pennies or dimes may be dro'ined, and will be lettered "Buy W. S. S." Each child, under the age of 10 ears, who earns sufficient money urlng the summer vacation to buy war savings sMmp and who sub mits to his teacher when school be gins a story relating the manner In which he or she earned the money, will be entitled to receive a bank. Children nhnvp the age of 10 years ill be required to buy two war sav ing stamps. e s'rtus of the entire contingent the peace treaty has been formally land that they had never appreciated igneu. i America until mis day.
