Vienna, April 25.-The BoIzswehr (People's MiHua) are getting more and more out of hand, and the mum CT of thefts and so-called domIciliary visits grows day by day. These armed bands enter private houses and ho- tels to carry away food, or have to be bought off at a high price. The situation is, in fact becoming intol- erable, It must be clearly under stood that there are no elements here capable of making a stand against the Spartacus groups, such as exist in Germany. In Austria and Hungary there Is not a single dt- vision of the old army, and the pop ulace is at the mercy of armed bands who have now In Hungary become Eolshevil1s, and who may shortly follow the same example in Vienna Neither must we eliminate CZech0- S1ovakia from calculation. There are strong Bolshevik clements in that State, and all experts are agreed that there is the gravest danger of Bo- hemia following the example of Hun gary.
 Ii Is no use the Entente relying on moderate opinion in Hungary, Aus tl.ia, and Czecho-SIovakia to make
  such as we have seen in Germany. There are no organized elements who can possibly raise a finger in defence of society and civilization in any or these countries at the present time There is only one way of saving the situation, and that Is to send Britlsn or American troops. A strong force would be required. Formerly a single battalion in each city would nave been sufficient, but now that the eN- tremists have been allowed to get completely out of hand a brigade would be required in Budapest. The withdrawal of the Fiuranian, Czecho- Slovakian, and Jugo-Slav troops ana their substitution by the Allies would have a good effect. It would be folly to send any but British, American, CT French troops to the capital Ihe centre of tho entire revolutionary movement lies In Budapest, and once this Is got under control 1t will be comparatively easy to quiet the rest of the country pending the dehDera- lions of the Conference. Then the moderate and same elements will be given chance of rallying, and a de- termined front could be opposed to tho extremists, who wish to produce exactly the same state of chaos as existed in Russia
 Grim Shadow from North
 The grim shadow from the north Is creeping slowly but surely towards the west The tentacles of BoI- shevism are stretching out into all the old sections of the Habsburg Elm pire. and then they will press on to Italy and join hands with the Spar tacus groups in Germany At present the BolshevIks of Hungary are sepa- rated from I4enin and his cOmpatriots bv the Ukraine. Within that district are strong elements bitterly opposed to the revolutiOnaries of the north, but they are embittered by the atti- tude of the Entente towards their claims for recognition as an inde- pendent State. They have exhausted their resources in their disputes with the Poles over the possession of Lem burg Thus the entire fighting strength of the Ukraine which num- bers nearly 300 900 men, but lacks arms and equipment, has been brought down to the Polish iron tier when 1t should have been re- sisting the Bolshevik movement from Greater Russia. If only the disputes between Poland and the Ukraine could be settled or temporarily tided over, then something definite would have been achieved, because the Uk- raine is the real battle-ground where Bolshevism must stand or fall.
 That immensely rich district has 10 lack of supplies; it is capable of
