Kumquat
a tree about six feet high, of the orange genus, growing in China and Japan. The fruit, which is oval, is about the size of a gooseberry. It has a sweet rind and an acid taste. The Chinese use it as a preserve. KUN (or KUEHN), BELA, a Hungarian Communist leader, was before the European War a university instructor and the author of a work on socialism. After the downfall of the Central Empires, in 1918, he devoted himself entirely to the organization of the Socialist movement in Hungary, being the mouthpiece of the extreme left nonpolitical radicals, corresponding to the Bolsheviki of Russia. On March 22, March 22 , 1919, Count Karolyi, the Liberal Hungarian premier, having abandoned his effort to effect a compromise with the victorious Allies, voluntarily resigned and handed the reins of government over success.
BELA KUN was carried on, at first with considerable success. The disorganized economic conditions of the country, however, proved too great an obstacle to the establishment of a firm government, and after a short five months of power, the Communist Government was overthrown by the labor organizations. Bela Kun fled to Austria, where he was imprisoned by the Austrian authorities, and there held until 1920, when it was reported that he was liberated and allowed to proceed to Russia.
