But Hungary Approves Unlim-

America Should Have Stopped
British Violations.

Amsterdam, Feb. 7. - Hungary
strongly approves Germany's unlimit-
ed subma rine warfare. Count Stephen
Tisza and Count Apponyi with other
leaders. were quoted in Budapest dis
patches received here today as strong
ly endorsed the policy In speeches to
the Hungarian parliament
The only opposition came from
Count Karolyi, who asserted that he
could not approve of unrestricted sub
marine warfare because it was mimi
cal to world peace.
Count Apponyi expressed the hope
that the new submarine warfare
would accelerate peace. He justified
its operation on the same ground as
did the Hungarian premier and add
ed as an additional motive, the failure
of America to restrict Great Britain's
encroachments on international law.
