Representative of Hungarian
Government Predicts Ger
many Will Sign Peace
Terms.
- Vienna. May 18. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Bolshevism is wan

treaty and delegates . from the Hun
garian 'communist government
should be permitted to go to Paris,
Alexis Bolgar, the representative
here of the Hungarian communist
government, declared m a statement
to . the Associated Press.
"AH we ask," he said, "is for the
allies to find some solution for our
unfortunate country. When Gen
eral Smuts was irt BudapesHas reo
resentative of the peace conference)

' out, but we would not be responsi
ble for disorders and bloodshed,
unless the allies occupied the city.
"If such a thing as self-govern
ment is permitted, then the red re
public represents ! Hungary. I do
not see why the allies cannot treat
with the soviet unofficially at least.
The allies should not take seriously
the view that the new government
is a self-constituted affair and ,is
made up of men unrepresentative of
Hungary. ,
Soviet Keeping Order.
"Speaking in my official capacity,
I ask only that delegates of the so
viet . in Budapest be requested -to
come to Paris.. It can be said for
the soviet that it is doing the best
it can and also is keeping order. It
is not true that there have been any

Bolgar, like many others connect
ed with the " Budapest soviet, is
friendly to America. He said he
felt that it was in the United States
that the most sane solutions qf the
problems of poverty would be
worked out. He expressed the opin
ion that President Wilson was not
being treated fairly by the allies nor
with proper consideration.
He said he understood that it had
been suggested in American quar
ters that all Hungarian parties, in
cluding the soviet, send representa
tives for a meeting in Switzerland
to form a new government for Hun
gary. ,
Luella Anderson's Pupils
Give a Violin Recital.
Miss Luella Anderson presented
her pupils Kathryn Bavinger, Mar
garet Donahue and David Gray in
violin recital at the Blackstpne ho
tel Sunday afternoon. These three
young people were assisted by Miss
Ruth Farlow, pianist, and pupil of
Miss Soohie Nostitz-Naimska. The
mne -violinists are agea o, y, ana in
years, respectively, and they seemed
unusually small as they stood before
the audience playing their violins.
The program was opened by Miss
kuth Farlow, who played "Feu Fol
ic" by Schutt, and who played later
four numbers from the "Scenes of
Childhood;' by Schumann. Kathryn
Bavinger played a "Concerto in G,"
by Seitt, which seemed quite a pro
digious undertaking for so' tiny a
miss. Margaret Donahue played
the "Swan," by Saint Saens, and the
"Golden Wedding," by Gareil Marie.-
David Gray contributed a bril
liant walta from "Faust." In addi
tion to the solos, each little lady
played a duet with David Gray; and
a trio by Dancla and the "Largo"
by Handel, in which Miss Anderson
assisted hef pupils, completed the
entertainment. The audience was

HAWKER STARTS
IN ATTEMPT TO
BEAT AMERICAN

tie, though not as favorable as they
would have demanded had not the
Americans been well started on
their passage, they went direct to
the Mount Pearl plateau, where the
.sopwitn was waiting in tne, air
drome, and began preparations for
the flight.
Challenge to Raynham.
Hawker followed his announced
intention when he dropped the un
dercarriage of his plane. Some per
sons thought the act was intended
as a challenge to his rival, Rayn
ham, and quoted almost the last
word of Hawker before he started:
"How about old 'Tinsides?' Tell
Raynham I'll greet him at Brook
lands, England.
At the start the sun was only a
little over two hours beyond the
meridien. The flyers had its aid in
navigating for four or five hours as
they sped eastward. After thatr they
plunged into darkness "over the
ocean, with the prospect of starlight
and moonlight to break the
monotony of sky and sea at night
and to serve as navigation guides.
Barring untoward events the
plane should meet the sun again
just short of mid-Atlantic and race
against its westward swing to reach
the Irish coast before darkness falls
again. ; Mackenzie Grieve declared
before the start that the Sopwith
would head straight for Ireland.
May Change Course.
Indications tonight were ; that
westerly winds would favor the fly
ers for the first 1,000 miles of their
course. The remainder of the way
will be, "ticklish" sailing and it is
thought possible Grieve will have to
"bend" his course somewhat south
to avoid wind and weather dangers
in the last half of the flight.

Held for Dee Moines Authorities
C. E. Brown, 3304 Franklin street,
was arrested last night by Detectives
Toland and Brlnkham and held as a
fugitive from Justice. He was appre
hended at the request of Des Moines
authorities, who say they hold a
warrant for him charging forgery.
Grieve are without landing devices
other than light "skids," which
must do the work of the undercar
riage, which he dropped at the
start. The possibility of accident to
Hawker's plane is considered great.
Unless he drops down gently, under
the most favorable conditions, with
a very short "run," he will smash
his propeller and wreck the little
craft at the conclusion of the flight.
If the Sopwith is forced into the
sea, the flyers have little hope of
rescue.- Both men are wearing
"watertight" suits, which are de
signed to keep them floating for
many hours, but as their course is
outside the lanes of shipping the
chances of their being picked up are
virtually nil.
Limit of 250 Miles.
Hawser's wireless set will allow
him to receive wireless messages
from ships a long distance off, and
the radio calls he will be able to in
tercept will aid his navigator great
ly in keeping on his course. But
the sending' apparatus cannot trans
mit over 250 miles, it is said, and
once beyond the trans-Atlantic ship
ping lanes, it is doubtful whether
an S. O. S. would be picked up by
a steamer.
What was probably the last mes-r
sage to the Sopwith from shore was
a wireless tonight telling of a fresh
atmospheric depression developing
over Ireland. It was radiographed
from St. Johns, on receipt of me
teorological advices from the open
sea. v '
Both aviators .said before the
start that while they anticipated
some physical and mental strain
through the long hours in their
cramped positions, unbroken by any
prospect of being able to "spell'
each other by changing seats, they
expected to find some relief. Con
centrated rations are being carried
pn the Sopwith for food. The fuel
supply was 340 gallons of gasoline.
Felt Carriage Go.
' Raynham, after he had recovered
from the temporary collapse he
suffered when his craft broke down,
made this statement:
"I was just beginning ,to get a
lift., I felt the undercarriage weak
en, and pulled back on the control
stick in an attempt to assist the
machine clear of the ground. But
the propeller struck and we spilled.
Another 25 yards and we would have
been away." '
Hawker had provided against such
a mishap by installing an all-steel
undercarriage on the Sopwith and a
device for dropping it when well off
the ground. ?

Mineral Jpurnal," and in the pro
motion of oil companies. The young
woman also testified that she warned
Chrisman on December 18 that
Harris was "framing on him."
Started at Billings.
The story started at Billings, on
November 6, when Green introduced
Chrisman to Peggy as a prospett;
and, according to the evidence,
Green represented that Peggy was a
daughter of Patrick Gilchrist of
Casper, Wyo., and that Gilchrist
controlled several thousand acres of
oil lands in Kentucky.
Peggy, on the witness1 stand, ad
mitted that Harris inspired several
telegrams sent from Casper, Wyo.,
to Chrisman, and which referred to
the mythical "Patrick Gilchrist."
Chrisman testified that yhen he
reached Barberville, Knox county,
Kentucky, he suspected that there
was a scheme. He said he was in
troduced to a "Mtr. Bywater," and
a "Mr. Carroll," at (Barberville, and
he added that he stopped a payment
Of a $1,000 check he had deposited
before leaving Billings. The check
had been issued in anticipation of
Chrisman's investment in some of
the lands said to have been held by
Patrick Gilchrist. Peggy admitted
that "Patrick Gilchrist," was a fic
ticious person. .
The - young woman further
claimed that when she returned to
Omaha to warn Chrisman of the al
leged scheme, Chrisman told her
that he owned 500,000 shares in the
Success Refining company of Bil
lings, and that she and Chrisman
then went into business together to
"freeze Harris out."
Knows Harris for Years.
Chrisman stated on the witness
stand that he had known Harris
and Green for several years and
that he believed Harris was his
friend until recent developments up
set that belief.
Notwithstanding Chrisman's sus
picions over the situation An Ken
tucky in November, he was led a
merry chase by 19-year-old Peggy
over a period of months. The af
fair got into the courts when Chris
man attached Peggy's clothes and
ofher personal effects to satisfy an
alleged claim of $816.44.

U.S. ACE OF ACES
TO BE GUEST OF
THE CITY TODAY
Capt. Etfdie Rickenbacher to
Be Entertained by Automo

Big Parade Arranged.
(Continued From Fair One.)
Palma, De Resta and their like and
beat them. He demonstrated he was
not afraid to, taKe a chance in the
auto racinar eame and when - the
United States got into the war Rick-
enbacker wanted to get in also.
Picked Air as His Field. :
He picked the air game as his
field, but the military powers over
ruled him and so he went to t ranee
as an auto driver. He did not stay
in' the ground-driving pastime very
long, however, as his persistence
won him the long sought opportu
nity of sitting at the wheel of- an
air-going machine. t
From the very beginning of his
air service Rickenbacker made good
and in time became one of the most
famous, if not the leading of tqe
American flyers on the western
front'
He flew, and fought as he had
driven on the auto race track. Ap
parently reckless, yet he" always
managed to come through alive and
generally victorious. -
Many a Boche went to earth in a
fight with Eddie Rickenbacker be
cause the latter had learned to take
a chance on the motor racing tracks
of the United Spates. , .
Handled Plane Like Racer.
To him running an airplane 150
miles an hour several, thousand feet
in the air in France was not much
different front running a racing car
half as fast around a race track back
in the old United States.
Not very long ago Eddie returned
home with decorations and honors
in plenty and still all wrapped up in
the air game.
He said he did not believe he
would ever go back to the auto rac
ing game because it was too tame
after his air races with the fighting,
flying Boche, 3,000 miles away.
And so it is not improbable that
Eddie Rickenbacker will be seen,
perhaps by his Omaha friends, run
ning a mail plane carrying letters
to and fro above the earth.
It would be the only peace job
that would not seem too prosaic to
the American ace.
Will Visit Old Track.
When Captain Rickenbacker ar
rives in Omaha this morning at 7:15
o'clock he will be met by Dick Stew
art and others. During the day he
will be taken out to this old track
where he made his start as an auto
mobile racer. Nebraska City claims
that Rickenbacker entered his first
automobile race in that city on July
4, 1908. '
Captain Rickenbacker will wear
the Croix de Guerre, aDistinguished
Service Cross and a badge of the
Legion of Honor when ne greets
his Omaha friends today. While in
command of the 94th aero pursuit
squadron he received personal credit
for bringing down 26 Hun planes
and the squadron scored a total of
69. '
Dick Stewart is chairman of a
committee which is arranging for a
parade from Tenth to Twenty-sixth
on Farnam street at 3:30 o'clock
this afternoon. Motorists who will
participate are requested to meet in
the vicinity of Eleventh and Jack
son streets at 3 o'clock.
Motorists Urged to Parade.

GMC construction consider the WORM
DRIVE AXLE.
It is the result of the combined efforts of
GMC and Timken-Detroit Axle Co. Engineers.
The entire construction is simple and practi
calcan readily be understood and cared for
when attention is needed, which (with the
exception of oiling) should not be during the
first year.
Timken bearings are used throughout.
The shafts . are chrome nickel steel, heat
treated and are of the full floating type. They ,
are free from load or strain of any descrip
tion and remain free to transmit the power
to turn the wheels.
The gears run in oil the worm gear acts as -.
a pump, circulating the oil qver the worm and '
thru all bearings. This system is simple and
positive, and requires no attention for a long
time. . ,
When you buy a GMC Truck you buy it with
the assurance that the axle construction, and,
as well as 'all other parts, are the best that
can be made.
