VIENNA. Wednesday. April 16. ( By
the Associated Press) Reports of the

others 'are untrue. The city continues
outwardly quiet with progress being
made toward the nationalization of

Count Karolyi find-- Socialism a dif

caused partly because he was being
restricted in his expenditures. In for

spending a million crowns annually.
Count Karolyi'.s frame of mind is
characteristic of all person- in Hun-!

weeks as to what -would happen next.
'It is a common thing to sec a part)
of men and women walking along the

Foreigners, especially Americans,
are receiving attractive marriage pro

save something from the wreck of
'heir fortunes because of tho fact that,
foreign property will be exempted
from nationalization. Women who
niarry foreigners will be enabled to
travel freely over the frontiers with

on the part of the Government, how

The condition of many Hungarians

CONSPIRACY CHARGE
Governor Claims Plot Will

to People.
DES MOINES. Ia, April IT. Gover
nor W. L. Harding was censured for
his action in the Raihbun pnrdon case
in a resolution adopted by the Iowa
house of representatives earlv tod:" ,
marking tho defeat of efforts to im
peach him.
With the case of the chief executive
disposed of. the house turned its at
tention tO the DhlLRfl rolMflnfT tn Attr v. !
ney-General H. M. Havner and before
'its forenoon session convened at 9:30
o'clock, it was judicated prompt ac
tion was likely in his case.
Two reports ot the judiciary com
mlttee were before the house regard
Ing Havner, the majority recommend
ing his exoneration and the minority
recommending his censure. There was
'no Indication which would be ac-l
I cepted.
The dividing vote on the Harding'
case came a few minutes before li
a m. The majority report for sen
sure of ihe governor was substituted!
for the majority report urging im -j
peachment seventy voting for and
thirty-four against the substitution,
with four members absent or not vot

resolution had been adopted, the min

the verdict of the house within i w
minutes and almost immediately gave

has had to submit to more seven.' po
litical persecution than have I. My
enemies are well known Their hand ;
is not covered and sooner or later
their conspiracy will be laid bare to

When the record in this alleged

SPEECH
London Press Agrees
Lloyd George Won
j Great Triumph.
,
TWO EXCEPTIONS
None Wholly Condemn
and Majority Applaud
Premier.
LONDON, April 17 While opinions .
are divided regarding the substance j
;of the address of Premier Lloyd!
! Gcorge. betpre the house of commons
'yesterday, ihere is a general agree
ment by the London press that It was
a great parliamentary triumph as, in
deed, wai shown by the rousing cheers
of his audience and the expressions of
individual members in the .lobbi'.-.
With the exception of Labor! te yid
. Northcliffe newspapers, none or the
morning journals condemns the prem
ier's statement wholly, while several
warmly applaud it. These admit that I
Mr. Lloyd George revealed nothing of
the peace terms, but they do not com
j plain.
' The telegraph, for instance, says
that his general account of tho terms
will "give deep satisfaction." and adds
that he "demolished the whole struc
ture hi? ritjes built on his supposed
departure from hi.1 pre-election
pledges."
Premier Retains Confidence.
The Express declares that he re
tains the complete confidence of the
nation.
The Graphic is equallv favorable
and says incidentally that" Mr Lloyd
George's statement "justifies the as
sumption that President Wilson has
abandoned his opposition, or alleged
opposition, to the sterner views ot
those powers which suffered most in
the war."
The Dally News admits there may
have been serious reasons for with
holding the terms of peace, but in the
absence of evidence "mere declarations
that all pledges will be kept are idle.
It is a faci that some of them have
not been kept."
All Pledges Cannot Be Kept.
Making a similar point, the Herald,
the Labor organ, says:
"All the premier's pledcea cannot be
kept, for they are as contradictory as
his Speeches." The newspaper de
clares that Mr. Lloyd George "left the
international situation where he found
It and completely missed his oppor
tunity." The premier's rejection of any Idea
of military action in Russia "meets
with considerable approval. The Tele
graph and Express say it frill be re
ceived with general relief.
The Post is skeptical of the Russian
policy and says:
"The allies win be lucky indeed if
they are not compelled to reverse it"

Bolshevik Propaganda Spreading
VTEEN . w ednesdaj iprl 16. (By
the Associated Press) The spread of
Bolshevik propaganda westward is be
ing greatly favored by (he laxity of
frontier regulations, the least guarded
being those of Poland. Trains are ar
riving at Budapest and Vienna from
the east carrying numbers of agents
supplied with all sorts of false pa-sports
and false money.
The observations of the correspon
dent --how that the best guarded fron
tier apparently is ihat of East Prus
sia, where the Bolshevik are made
to understand they are not w. lcome.
Trains from Cracow Into German Si
lesia and Bohemia, however, are filled
with nondescript persons lrom Rus
sia whose papers are either not ex
amined at all or are looked over most
casually. Conditions are much the
same as regards the trains entering
Hungary by way of the Ukraine and
East Galicia. It is even asserted that
notwithstanding the Italian restric
tions, entrance to Italy is not diffi
cult. Falsifying American Passports
The falsification Of American pass
ports is declared to be so common that
the representatives of tho American
diplomatic service here attached to!
the Spanish-embassy, states that ill
w.Miid be advisable to increase the
difficulties ol fraud b requiring the
application of thumb prints to all or
iglnal United States passports as it Is
easy, il le claimed, to substitute new
photographs and imitate the signatures.

United States May Take

Germany will be forced either to ac
cept or reject the Allied peace terms
I by May 15, according to reports print
ed in Pans and it is indicated that no
, reply ia expected before May 6.
The refusal of Stephen Pichon, the
1 French foreign minister, to divulge the
details of the provisions of the pro
posed treaty while speaking in the
chamber of deputies yesterday, and the
failure of Premier Lloyd George to
speak in more than general terms be
fore the house of commons, indicates
, that no intimation of the terms will be
made public at present.
Drafting Committee Busy
' It was announced at a meeting of
the council of ten in Paris yesterday
'-lfternoon that various articles of the
pact now are In the hands of the draft
ing committee and that the remaining
articles would be disposed of today.
Norway and Switzerland will act as
agents of the Allied and associated
governments In feeding Russia, it has
been agreed at Paris. Representatives
of France hnve made reservations on
the subject and these will be consider
ed today. The plan Is opposed by Rus
sian elements opposed to the Bolshe
viki, but it Is said to be probable they
will ultimately acquiesce in the Allied
decision.
The question of the United States
becoming mandatory for Armenia and
the ancient province of Cecilia, to tho
southwest, is again being considered
at the peace conference. There seems
i to be a disposition on the part of sev
leral of the Entente powers also to
ask this country to take over control
of Constantinople, a suggestion which
is said to appeal to some members
of the American commission. j
Albania has appealed to Premier
Clemenceau, as president of the peace1
conference, asking for confirmation of;
the complete independence of that'
country. Here, too, there is a willing
ness that the United States should
assume control of governmental af- '
fairs, at least until the little country;
has organized its political system.
The communists are still In control
of Munich, but heavy forces of Bavar
ian troops have begun an advance on
the Bavarian capital, according to Ber
lin advices. It Is not known, however,1
whether a decisive battle has as yet
been fought.

Saving 'Em From I
nemselves J
The Standard in exposing die terrible condition of the Examiner's circulation has done so not j
with any malice or ill feeling against the Examiner, but only as a means to make them correct them- I
selves for the future. 1
From October, 1913, to April, 1919. the Examiner has gained only 579 paid subscribers while
their advertising rate? have been raised 14 cents an inch. No merchant can afford to pay 14 cents
an inch for 579 circulation. When a merchant pays that price for that amount of circulation his ad- j
vertising appropriation becomes a donation and the institution accepting 14 cents an inch for 579 cir
culation becomes charitable.
Now the merchant charges up the appropriation for both paper? to advertising. But 40 per t
cent of his appropriation for the morning paper goes for only 579 circulation. That 579 circulation 1
does not and cannot produce results worthy of the price charged. J
If a merchant using two papers does not get satisfactory results he will generally quit both 1
of them. If the merchants insisted on the same guarantees of paid circulation or pro rata discount v
from the Examiner as The Standard voluntarily gives advertising results would be vastly improved. 1
In the United States evening papers get paid much more per thousand of circulation than morn- 1
ing papers do. Therefore, it is no injustice to the Examiner to make them guarantee their circula- 1
tion claims or money back. 1
Every advertiser in Ogden has had a written guarantee from The Standard since June I, I
1 9 1 8. of 6000 paid average daily A. B. C. audit or pro rata refund for every dollar spent. I.
If the Examiner had given the same guarantee itvould have had to refund thousands of dol- I
lars to the Ogden merchants for the past year. j M
