The following amusing episode was related by. Sir William Sutherland at the dinner of the London Gaelic Society: In Paris he met an Englishman who had just come from Budapest, which was then in the possession of Bsla Kun and tho Bolsheviks. Tho Britisher was anxious to quit Budapest, but was unable to obtain a passport, so he went to the station, sat in a train, and trusted to luck. Tho Bolsheviks came along and questioned him, but he made signs that he could not understand. Thereupon some higher officials took up the interrogation. What was his name, business, etc.?, " Oh, buzz off, buzz off," exclaimed the Britisher heatedly. The officials seemed greatly impressed, and presently a notice was pasted on the window of the compartment, the door was locked, and the train, moved off. The notice read : " This com-, partment reserved for Count Buzz Off."
