Paris, Oct. 23. A war menace
overshadows all south and central
Europe tonight, as a result of former
Emperor Charles' 'appearance in
Ausria-Hungary. The little entente
Czccho - Slovakia, Roumama and
Jugo-Slavia is reported to be mobil
liing to resist the Hapsburg attempt
to capture Budapest as a first step
toward reconstituting the old Aus-tro-Hungarian
empire.
The first incident in a series of
dramatic moves which may precipi
tate at lesst a part of Europe into
another war was the arrival of the
former emperor at Odenburg in an
airplane. As he stepped from the
machine .he was accorded an en
thusiastic reception by the town gar
rison, which evidently had received
news of his coming. The soldiers
srowded around him and pledged
fealty to his cause, addressing him
as "emperor." . .
Charles is, reported to have an
nounced his immediate intention of
marching on uuaapesi. vttuiuws
to the litest information, he will take
' command of the troops in the Bur
genland district who are loyal to him
and with Commandant Ostenburg
wiU begin an' immediate advance to
ward the Hungarian capital. ' ;
Hat Large Force. ,.
' It Is stated that Charles has 6,000
infantry and 3,000 mounted troops
under hit command already and that
, when he begins the march his force
will number at least 15,000.' It is not
that ttu Hungarian srovern
ment can oppose this, force success

Reports received in Berlin from
Budapest state that Admiral Horthy,
,v the Htingariao regent, has fled and
. that the cabinet has resigned. , It is
stated that' Count Andrassy has
been asked to form a new cabinet.
However, the authorities are taking
measures to prevent Charles from
.;irts thr rnm of the eovernment.
: The governments of. both -Vienna
- and Budapest have announced a
state of siege in their respective cap

of prohibition to the social structure,
according to Mitchell Kenneney,
publisher. The author is Charles
Tabor Stout, and he takes the-position
that prohibition can not endure,
not only because it is in contraven

guaranteed by the constitution, but
because it is harmful to the public

4,000 Men Hear
Gipsy Smith at
Special Service
Envangeliat Urges Head of
Families Not to Let Wives
Carry AH of Religious
Burden.
Four thousand men wer urged to
lead a man's life, a Chrittlike life,
for the take of themselves and their
loved ones, by Gipsy Smith, evangc.
list, who conducted services for men
only at the Auditorium Sunday aft
ernoon. - He declared that the men
should stand by the women of their
households ip religious things. "Don''
let the women carry all the burden.
It it your duty to take as much in
terest in religious affairs as your wife
does," he said.
The evangelist did not preach. It
was rather a man to man talk, in
terspersed with applicable incidents
of his own family life and those of
men he knew. He didn't "rake them
over the coals" for their shortcom
ing, as is the wont of some revival
ists, when they get an opportunity
to preach to a male audience.
Talk Coet Home.
That his talk went home was evi
dent when, at its close, he asked alt
who "would take Jesus with them
from now on to arise," the entire
assemblage arose. More than 300
pledge cards were handed in to
Gipsy Smith. Young and old men.
crowded down to shake his hands
when he had finished speaking.
"O, it wa a splendid meeting," he
said.
"Men," he said, "God is re:dy to
do great things for us if we but let
Him."
It has always been said the men
control their emotions much better
than women. . This was refuted at
the afternoon service as the speaker
swayed his male audience as power
fully as he did at any of his previous
meetings made up of. mixed
audiences.
Handkerchiefs Used.
As the evangelist recounted his
anecdotes, with their pathetic
touches, the men applied their hand
kerchiefs 'just as vigorously as the
women do.
Yet the talk was not all made up
of sobs. The Gipsy gave evidences
of having a fund of humor that is
inexhaustible. Many of his little
stories 'were of a humorous nature
which rocked the audience with
laughter. , For instance, when he
described a callow youth caressing his
first-infant mustache as feeling "of
the substance for things hopcfuL"
Are you making the most of your
life for God and your families?" he
asked. '"Are you living the life that
will bring a smile to the face of
God :' which, ,-when JMa;.eRddd, your
children will rise up and call you
blessed because ; of . your right liv
ing? t ; -f .' " -v
Consider Children.
"Are you enriching the lives of
your children, your neighbors and
the city?" he asked. '
If not. some day you will wake
up and realize just how foolish and
stupid you have been. You men,
God has- given you wonderful, op
portunities. There are influences and
interests all about you that you can
turn , to good. You will find out
then that a good life is after afl, the
only one to have lived.
"Some of you are paying dearly
for your wrong-doing. It pays to
live right and keep clean, so when
you look back your conscience will
not rebuke you but will congratu
late you on a record of which you
nted not be. ashamed. - ,
Christian Life rtot Easy.
"It is not easy to lead a Chris
tian life. You must fight and play
the game. The man I like to see
puts his feet squarely on the ground,
looks the whole world in the tace
and says, 'Christ for me.'
- "It means forsaking world plea
sures and living for Christ."
He then praised the bravery and
perseverance pf the old prophets,
who, in spite of persecutions and
tribulations, kept their faith in God.
The speaker urged that the men
be praying examples to their chil
dren. "Many children do not pray
or take the Christian life serious
ly because their fathers have never
set them the example. Do not bring
your children into a life of. sin be
cause you have been negligent," he
warned them::";
Turn on Old Life.
In closing, he pleaded: ."Turn on
the old life, live the man's life, the
Christian life for the sake of your
loved ones." , ' ' . . ,
The big choir, under the leader
ship of "Wee Willie" McEwan, sang
many of the old-time hymns which
were appropriate to the' occasion.
"The Little Brown Church in the
Vale," particularly arranged to show
off the beauty of male voices, "was
sung splendidly by the audience and
the choir. "Where Is My Wander
ing Boy Tonight?" was another old
song which was sung excellently.
Alleged Gamblers Warned '
By Buzzer of Police Raid
An electric buzzer system was
used to warn alleged gamblers in
the Grotto pool hall, Sixteenth and
Dodge streets, Saturday night that
the raiding squad was about to
make an entrance to the place, ac
cording to Sergeant Frank Murphy,
head of the squad. . -
An electric 'press button was
found secreted under a telephone
stand on the first floor by Detective
Buford. The button and wires were
destroyed. When Murphy and De
tectives Killian and Treglia rushed
into the pool hall they found a
group of men in a room. On the
table they found some money and a
deck of cards.
John Greer, who police said was a
"lookout." was arrested and held
without bond until police court con

Harding May Ask
People to Uphold
Rail Labor Board
President Confident Public
Will Rally to Support of
.Government Body
If Men Strike.
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
CtalcmCo Tribune-Omaha Bm Lmm4 WIiw.
Washington, Oct. 23. President
Harding is confident the American
people will rally to the support of
the railway labor board if the rail
road brotherhoods persist in strik
ing in defiance of that body.
It is not nnlikely, it transpires,
that the president will address an
appeal to the people to uphold the
authority of the new (agcncy de
signed to put an end to the derange
ment of transportation by strikes.
The railroad labor board lacks
authority under the transportation
act to enforce its decisions, but con
gress entertained the hope that the
force of public opinion would be suf
ficient to deter a union from strik
ing in defiance of a settlement pro
claimed by the board after a full and
fair investigation of the merits of the
dispute, if the impending strike
should prove a failure because of
public condemnation, the result
vrould go far toward establishing
the authority of the board and pie
venting future strikes against its
decisions.
Situation Unchanged.
Senator Cummins discussed the
situation with the president last
night.
"I do not see that th- situation
is changed in any important respect,"
said the senator tonight, "but I still
think there will be no strike. If the
men do go out, the government, of
course, will deal vigorously with the
situation in the Interest of the whole
people." . '
That . President Harding and the
Interstate Commerce commission are
not in accord on the question of
rate reductions is the significant con
clusion drawn from the decision of
the commission in declaring rates on
grain, . grain products and hay be
tween points in the western fcnd
mountain-Pacific groups to be un
reasonable. The importance of the grain rate
decision,- which, it is officially esti
mated, may reduce the revenues of
the railroads $35,000,000 to $50,000,
000 annually, lies in the fact that
the commission therein subscribes
wholeheartedly to the Harding view
on railway rates and operating costs.
. In his address to congress April
12, 1921, President Harding declared:
"No improvement will be perma
nent' until the railways are operated
efficiently at a cost within that which
the traffic can bear.
"If we can have it understood that
congress has ' no sanction for gov
ernment ownership, that congress
does not levy taxes upon the people
to cover deficits in a service which
should be self-sustaining, there will
be an avowed foundation on which
to rebuild.: ' :
"Freight carrying charges have
mounted higher and higher until
commerce is halted and production
discouraged. Railway rates - and
costs of operation must be reduced."
The decision in the grain rate
cases establishes beyond any doubt
that there will be general reduction
in rates, particularly on the so
called heavy moving commodities.
' Within a few hours after the de
cision was announced, the American
Wholesale Coal association filed a
formal petition for a reduction of all
rates on coal and coke and of charges
for reconsignment and diversion of
coal cars and for their detention.
Would Stimulate Trade. .
The complaint ' of the wholesale
coal dealers is also based on the the
ory that rates should be reduced as
a step toward "perwar prices and
conditions." It shows that the com
mission has already used restrictions
in " the transportation charges " on
grain and meat and emphasizes the
necessity of like reductions' in the
charges for transportating the na
tion's fuel. The ,, association con
tends that a reduction in the coal
rates will do more to immediately
and directly stimulate industry than,
a reduction in rates on any other
commodity. - .--
The commission found in the grain
case that the present rates on wheat
and hay involved will be unjust and
unreasonable to the-extent that they
may individually include more than
one-half of the increases authorized
in July, 1920, when rates were in
creased from 25 to 40 per cent; that
the ' present rates on coase grams
will be, for the future, unjust and
unreasonable to the extent that they
may exceed - rates 10 per cent less
than those prescribed as just and
reasonable on wheat.
On the western group, the increase
made in 1920 amounted to 35 per
cent and in the mountain-Pacific
group, 25 per cent The commission
entered no order but indicated that
the recommendation . had been com
plied with not later than November
20. This is equivalent to an order
and without doubt will be carried
out by the western railroads.

Over Decision
Of Judge Mayer
Less Moist Conditions in For
eign Embassies Predicted as
"Result of Ruling on
1 Transportation.
' . ' t ' '
Chicago Trlbnoe-Omaha Bee leand Wire.
Washington, Oct. 23. The de
cision of Judge Mayer of New
York, declaring illegal the transpor
tation of liquor from one foreign
country throngh the United States
to another foreign country, : was
hailed by the Anti-Saloon league to
day as a guarantee of a practically
bone-dry arms confeence and of
less . moist conditions in the for
eign embassies and legations here.
An embassy or legation has the
status of foreign soil and therefore
any liquor' it imports becomes sub
ject to the prohibition of transporta
tion of liquor through the United
States from one foreign country to
another, according to Wayne E.
Wheeler, general counsel for the
league.' '
"Judge Mayer's decision' upholds
the. ruling of the Justice - depart
ment," he said. "There is some
reason for permitting occupants of
embassies to onng with them as part
of their baggage, liquors to be used
solely within " the embassy, but no
good reason 'can be given for per
mitting greater, amounts than that
which can be used in this way,
"It has been heralded 'all over the
country that there will be a flood of
liquor in Washington during the dis
armament conference. Guests and
attaches of the conference are not in
the same position as the ' occupants
of. embassies, and even if they were,
they cannot transport liquor into the
United States without a permit.
Americans .are required to obey the
laws of foreign countries which they
visit, and there is no reason why
the same -rule'" should not apply

tion Employes, with a membership
of 350,000, tonight joined the unions
which have voted not to go on strike
by adopting a resolution in which
their men are refused authorization
to walkout for the present. The
matter will be reconsidered after the
labor board renders its rules and
working conditions decision. The
action brought the number of rail
workers who will not strike to more
than three-fourths of the nation's
total.

.any move the company might make
t resume service. -.

Armed guards patrolled the prot
erties of the company, but not. ona
instance of violence marked the sec- '
ond day oi the walkout
Movement of freight traffic In the
yards here was at a standstill.
"The strike so far has been en
tirely successful to our cause,"
union officials declared. "We did not
expect to tie up passenger service.
We took into account at the ousct
that, with so few men called out
working on passenger trains, that
they would be able to recruit enough
men from among officials to fill out
a crew. But we have demonstrated
what a few men out means and we
are satisfied."
Mr. Goforth stated that outside of
the reports to him that a few freight .
trains were operating -: there had
been no change in the general situa
tion. ' "We are feeling . our way
cautiously," he said, "and expect
soon to have service resumed."

line of the stand the labor leaders,,

Text of Statement r
The statement said:
"With regard to the position of
the employes of the railroads, we
can only say that their representa
tives are patiently awaiting for any
development that would appear to
offer a solution of the problem con
fronting them.
"We are not now nor have we .
ever been desirous of being a party
to precipitating a strike, but when
it is quite apparent that the railroads
propose not only to reduce wages
but to take from those employes
practically alt conditions of service
maintained for many years and the
railroad labor - board is unable, or
fails to give us any assurance that
the interests of the employes will
be protected, nothing is left for the
employes but to stand on their con
stitutional rights to retire from tne
service. - -
