Amsterdam, Wednesday, Sept II.—
Count Michael Karolyi, the Hungar-
ian opposition leader, has reiterated
his declaration that the central pow-
ers should accept President Wilson's
fourteen peace points as the basis for
peace negotiations, according to a
Budapest dispatch to the Frankfort
Gazette. Another essential, he rays,
Is for "serious deiuocrat.c govern-
ments" In Austria-Hungary and Ger-
many to take the helm. The reaction-
aries, he insists, must be sent to the
rear. The situation, he adds, also calls
for the abrogation of the Brest-Lito-
vsk and Bucharest peace treaties.
"Thus only can peace come," the
count declared.
HARD PRESSED BY THE ENEMY
IN EUROPEAN RUSSIA AND
TOWNS ARE LOOT.
IVace Not Ttikcu KcrlouMy.
London, Sept. 19.—The Belgian for-
eign minister, in discussing Germany's
"peace approach" to Belgium, dis-
closes that the conditions cannot be
taken as a basis for any serious dis-
cussion. From the details furnished
by the foreign minister it appears that
Belgium received no formal proposi-
tion directly from the German govern-
ment but that communications came
by an indirect channel.
London, Sept. II.—The Czecho-
slovak forces in European Russia
are being hard pressed by the enemy,
largely owing to lack of munitiona
and stores. The bo'sUcvlkl, assisted
by considerable numbeta of German!,
have succeedcd in occupying Yolsk,
Simbirsk and Kazan.
The full of Kazan appears to have
been due to lack of ammunition by
the Czecho-Slovaks.
The Germans are reported to b«
concentrating considerable suppliea
at Kharbov and Bielogorod with a
view to an advance on the Volga and
to prevetfl General Alexlffs forces in
the Don Valley from Joining hand*

THE Ducal 1'niaee, better known pos-
sibly as the Palace of the Doges, is
a marvelous work begun in the Middle
| Ages and finished in the XV century.
It was not only the residence of the
Doges, but was also the meeting place
| of the Great Council of the Republic oi
Venice, It gives the impress! of im-
posing immense weight on siight sup-
| port. The porticos, and the loggias
above, arc sunn emted by high, br.re
| v.ills occupying n space equal to the
wpports and tut by very few windows,
j Inside, the -walls were covered with
! oil paintings by the Rre«t Venetian wai-
ters, The hr.ll of the Great Council is
marvelous; it measures 210 feet in
length, in width, and 30 in height-^
j all the painting* of the rails and eeil-
j ing have been taken away, along with
j the painting oa the walls of the other
halls. Decorating the hall of the great
council was the marvelous "Judgment"
by Tintoretto, the largest caavat in the
world
Wandering one day through the empty
hall* with their barren bricks and the
bare beams of the roof, in the company
of an old Venetian historian, I was sur-
prised to hear him describe to me the
paintings and the history they depicted
of naval battles, sieges of cities, or the
Apotheose of Venice by Veronese, just
as if the canvasses were still there 1
The pictures were so a part of his life
that he had not noted their absence.
When all the canvasses had been
taken from the walls, the stairway of
the Giants, the statues nr.d bronze walls
of the courtyard and the celebrated
"Porta della Carta" covercd with sacks
of sand, the marble groups of the fa-
cade protected, the authorities tried to
study out how to strengthen the Palace
in view of the danger that the shock* jf
an explosion might crumble those old
arches and columns, supporting as they
do such an enormous mass.
The arches, therefore, were filled with
pillars oi reactac to within «
sixteenth of an inch of the arch, so a*
to fortify without displacing the mass.
To prevent the new masonry from spoil-
ing the beautiful old "patine" of th«i
marble, oil paper was placed in the space,
between. Such a work could not havej
been better done. The stairway oi the
Giants is a wonderful worlt by l.on-:
bardo crcated in the XV ccnturv. It,
gets its name from two statues: "Mars"
and "Neptune" by Sansovino, placed at,
the head of the stairway. j
There is a poor painting, the prints of-
which are Vtry common, which repre-;
sents the Doge Marino Falicr in the act]
of being beheaded for his notorious j
crime of treason against the Republic.'
The fact is that the Doge Marino Falie^
lived and died one century and a half
before the stairway was built. Therfl
was another stairway of wood, but ltj
was on a different part of the courtya
