Warm Support Was

By the Legislature
" " (By Associated Press.)
AUSTIN Tex March 24 Relations
between -the Governor and the Legis-
lature during the 36th session were
most harmonious. In fact while ad-
dressing the House upon the last day
of the session. Governor Hobby said
that the Legislature had made it pos-
sible for him to fulfill a of his oam-
paign promises.
The constitutional amendment pro-
posing that the state extend its credit
for the buying of homesteads was sub-
mitted to the voters upon request by
the governor as was the amendment
proposing a division with inmates of
profits arising from the operation of
the prison system. Governor Hobby is
also in accord with all the legislation
for better roads and schools and ex-
pressed himself as being well pleased
with measures along these lines.
Many of the members of the 36th
Legislature actively supported Gover-
nor Hobby during the last campaign
and tbe result of the election was that
very few of those who opposed the elc-
tion of Governor Hobby came to the
legislature.
Woman suffrage and prohibition to
which the Governor was pledged were
also pledges of a majority of the mem-
bers. THE CHEERFUL CHERUB

! OP HUNGARY.
1 LONDON. March j 21. The 1 rjjvolu-
iion in Hungary caused great excite-
ment in Vienna but did not stirnriso
those who were awate of the true con
ditions says the Vienna correspondent
of the Telegraph Tie said the com-
munists of Hungary have long been
t;he real masters of. the country and
have been only awaiting an opportun-
ity to .get rid xf Count Karolyi who
was considered to have never been
more that a figurehead.
The situation is attributed by the
correspondent to the failure of the
peace conference to recognize the se-
riousness of the situation andioccupy
Budapest with entente troops.
""Where a -battalion would have suf-
ficed formerly a brigade would be
necessary now" he says.
Peace 'Conference Blamed.
'The Hungarian revolution and the
reported alliance of: the new govern-
ment with the Russian soviet which
i$ considered here as a menace Ho Eu
rope has given rise to new criticisms
of the delays in the peace conference
proceedings. Referring to the situa
tion in Hungary the Globe says; "It
is! the natural consequence of the de-
lay of the peace conference in mak-
ing peace and if it continues we may
have worse consequences still. All
this discussion of thq. covenant of the
League of Nations before a prelimi
nary peace has been reached simply
encourages the speed of the Bolshevik
dispase and gives our chief enemy an
opportunity for intrigue."

ID BY LVEST1 GATOR.
(By Associated Press)
PARIS March 24. Count von
Biockorff-Rar.tzau the German for
eign minister has sent a rep'rescnta-1
j tive to Moscow to see the soviet chiefs j
(and furnish an accurate report' on the
J situation which .will allow the foreign I
i ministers to. study a means of bring- j
ing about closer political. aiKf econom-
jic relations with the Russian bolshe- j
viki says r. dispatch fro:n Zurich
j Drift Toward Bolshevism.
Oswald Garrison Villard of New
York editor of The Nation has just
returned to Paris from a week's . ob-
servation of conditions in Germany
and made a report to the American-
t peace commissioners and the British
J prime minister David Lloyd George
j by which they are said to have been
profoundly Impressed.
"The drift toward bolshevism is
(rapid in Germany' said Mr Villard
I "and it can be stayed only by prompt
food relief and the lifting of the block-
ade sothat trade may begin again and
the -idle German factories may receive
raw materials as fast as arrangements
can be made to pay for them."
Food - alone Mr. Villard declared
would not save the situation though
many Germans thought so.
Profound Reaction Produced.
' The brutalities of the Noske troops
have nut. down the uprising for the
Ebert government" he continued "but
have produced a profound reaction. I
did not find any responsible person
who did jiot expect another general
strike with more fighting this mouth.
"The Ebert government owes its
continued existence in part to the lack
of strong leaders on the other side "for
the people to turn out. Politically con-
ditions are worse In Bavaria where
the food conditions are better. Ev-
erything is quiet in Saxony though the
lack of food is greatest there. In
Wurtenburg hitherto the least dis
turbed state there is moat disquiet-
ing peasant uneasiness duo to the bol
tho bn1 -
shevist doctrines.
Few. Trains Jlloving.
"It is positively stated in Berlin that
there will be few trains moving in six
weeks -because of the total exhaustion
of the stock of lubricants. -The peo-
ple are worn down and helpless and
the masses are very bitter against the
old regime and the officers who dare
not show themselves in the stroets
of Munich and who carry .revolvers
in Berlin for self-protection.
"Many people are still ignorant of
the atrocites of the German troop in
France Belgium and Rumania but
soldiers returning from these coun-
tries are telling the truth and openly
accusing their officers of wholesale
thefts and deliberate cruelties. These
statements are heard every day on
the railway trains and. on the street
corners"
