STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE ALLIES
AND REDS NOW PENDING
MAKING PLANS TO CRUSH
THE HUNGARIAN SOVIET
Portions Of Europe Are Menaced by
Wave Of 6oishevism With Vienna
as the City Of Greatest Strategic
Importance to the Enemy-Reds
confiscate Foreign Securities.

Parls.-A final armed struggle be-
tween the allies and the Hungarian
reds, with Vienna as the supreme OBJ
jective, is forseen
The allies have reached definite
conclusion that central and southeast
ern Europe is menaced by q wave of
bolsheyism. 1t is declared that unless
Vienna can be saved from the boil
shevik and permitted to become the
capital OF a stable government, the
peace outlook in Europe will be dubi-
GUS for years to come.
The bolsheviki apparently realize
as fully as the peace commissioners
the supreme startegic Importance OF
Vienna. Consequently the Hungarian
soviets were reported to be stalking
everything upon the final effort to es-
tablish soviet republic in Vienna
similar to their own before the present
government succeeds in signing peace
with the allies and placing itself on
a solid basis.
According to dispatches from Vienna
and Budapest allied commissioners
have sent special couriers to Paris,
asking the peace conference to adopt
Immediately the most drastic meas
ures. That Marshal Foch has begun
to collect military information already
is known. Budapest dispatches also

Polish armies, with French and Italian
contingents are ready for action.
Meanwhile, Swiss dispatches an
nounced the Hungarian reds were be-
ing reinforced by Russian soviet
troops.
Bella Kun, Hungarian soviet leader,
has been warned by the allies that
foreign securities in Budapest must
be respected. The warning was the
result of an order confiscating foreign
bonds in Hungary. Bella Kun sent a
note to the allies denying that he
was violating the terms of the armis-
tice. He charged that the Czecho-
Sloyaks and the Rumanians were the
offenders and asked what action the
allies intended to take.

He did not read the entire revised

The French, despite rumors of
agreement introduced amendments
designed to strengthen the military
provisions.
They submitted an addition to Ar

substitute for Article TX, providing

LODGE FINDS FAULT
Senator Declares Presidents
Attitude Inconsistent.
Massachusetts Solon Compares VII.
sons Position in Fiume and
Danzig Incidents.

Boston, April 29.-That President
Wilson's stand in regard to Fiume was
inconsistent with his attitude concern
ing Danzig, was the declaration of
United States Senator Lodge.
Senator Lodge said the president s
attitude toward Danzig was betrayal
of the Poles, while it was incredible
that an outlet to the Adriatic could
not have been found for the Jugo-Slav,
except through Fiume. He spoke at
a meeting of the Middlesex club.
'It seems utterly incredible" said
Senator Lodge, that it would not
have been possible to give the Jugo-
Slavs access to the Adriatic and also
protect the rights of Italy.
'Danzig is at the mouth of the
Vistula and the building up of Poland
is one of the necessities of the times
Poland must have access to the sea.
The paragraph relating to Poland was
the only one of the fourteen command.
ments that was specific. If Poland
does not get Danzig 1t will be shut
up and will have to carry on its com.
merce through a German-managed
port.
1T appears to me an absolute be-
trayal of Poland not to return Dan
zig to her. Our representatives atti
tude relative to Danzig does not square
with his attitude in relation to Fiume
cannot see why the arguments per
tanning IN Eiuma do nor anpIv IN Nan

Japan Gains by Low Wage.

Glasgow, April 29.-Japanese manu-
facturers are able to undersell their
British and American competitors by
as much as 33h per cent and still
gain profit, according to the Journal
of the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
The trade paper attributes Japan's
advantage to lower wages and facili-
ties for transportation. In 1917, the
Journal adds, Japan made very
marked advance in importation of raw
materials and the conversion of them
into finished goods for export.

The hopes of Harry G. Hawker and
of Frederick F. Raynham, the British
fiiers, are centered on engines, which
it was learned in neither case had
been tested continuously for more than
eight hours. With favorable condi
tions, the trip will require a minimum

American Warships Taking Care
of Supplies Being Sent to
German People.
MANY VESSELS IN USE
Thus Far Eishty-seven Ships Are
Carrying Necessaries of Life to
Those Who Could Not Live
Without Outside Aid.

London, April %. - Transportation
of food to Germany is largely under
the direction of the United States
navy but this work will entail only an
addition to the vast system of food
distribution maintained by the navy
since the armistice The system util-
lied successfully in providing for hun
dreds of thousands in the near East,
Balkans, Poland, Finland and Belgium
will be applied to Germany.
The navy's job is to get the food to
the place desired by Herbert C. Hoov-
er and to protect it until it is taken
over by responsible authorities. The
navy will see that the supplies are
transported to Hamburg and Bremen
and guard it with warships and men
until 1t is delivered to persons who
assume responsibility for its distribu-
ton.
Thus far the navy has used 81 ships
for food and supplies for people who
could not live without outside assist
ance. OF these So we're manned en-
tlrely by navy men and their activi.
ties covered a wide territory.
Food Task Is Big.
Until the task of feeding Germany
was taken over the most extensive
work was centered in Constantinople
whence it was attempted to I'D food
to the Roumanians, Armenia s and
Serbians. Food ships also weI, sent
from Constantinople to Beirut, 6aku
and Constanza always with enough
fighting ships to insure their protec-,
ton.
From American Headquarters at
Fiume thousands of Czechs and Jugo-
Slavs have been fed. 1t has been sug-
gested that the navy should attempt
to deliver food and supplies to the To-
calities for which they were intended
but conditions near Fiume made that
impracticable. Transportation inland
is extremely difficult and fraught with
danger of international complications.
1t was decided that the food should
be delivered at port, placed in ware
houses If necessary and protected by
the United States until the hungry
people could arrange to take it inland
themselves. 1t has been shown that
under the pressure of necessity the
people have arranged for inland trans
portation quickly and were willing to
assume the responsibility for proper
delivery.
Distribution System.
The staff at Rotterdam is charged
| with seeing that food for the Poles is
safely delivered at Danzig. The in
! habitants of Danzig were not aware
| that the United States would protect
its food as long as it was in port and
viewed with alarm the entrance of a
gunboat into the harbor along with
the Westward Ho, the first food ship
to arrive. The alarm was SO great that
rumor was spread over Europe on
the basis of Danzig reports that the
Americans had captured the town.
| The gunboat still is there and will re-
main as long as the shipments con
| tinue.
The Belgian relief ships go to Ant.
werp and what supplies it has been
possible to send to the Firms have

Revised Covenant Goes Before
PIenary Session of Paris
Peace Conference.
FATE IS IN BALANCE
Latest Negotiations Have Been With
View to Adjusting Reservations
Made by French, Japanese
and Belgians.

Paris, April 29.-The revised COW
enant of the league of nations goes be-
fore a plenary session of the Peace
conference for final action. What is
in store for it there is not yet clear, as
negotiations have been conducted the
past few days with a view to adjust
ing the reservations made by the
French, Japanese and Belgians when
the committee adopted the revised
text.
The French amendments are design
ed to reinforce French military secur-
ity, but these may not be pressed ow-
Ing to the military security which
France obtains under the settlement
of the Rhine frontier.
Japanese Silent.
The Japanese delegates have not yet
indicated whether they will renew
their amendment on racial equality,
as that depends somewhat on the set
tlement they are able to secure con-
cerning Kiao Chau.
The Belgian amendment relates to
the choice of Geneva as the seat Of
the league and this also is in the way
Of adjustment.
Monroe Doctrine Unmolsted.
The Monroe Doctrine amendment is
not expected to encounter opposition
il the question of French security is
adjusted.
Premier Hughes, of Australia, has
previously indicated his purpose of dis
cussing the covenant as a whole, and
he also will be the chief opponent of
the Japanese amendment IL it Is re-
newed
A semi-official analysis of the re-
vised covenant says that the re-draft
was made after consultation with 13
neutral nations and examination, the
criticisms coming from both sides of
the Atlantic. The resulting document,
1t Is declared, does not create super
state, the league must depend upon the
free consent of it's component states.
Concerning the Monroe Doctrine,
Article 21 makes II clear that the
covenant does not intend to arrogate
or weaken other agreements, so long
as they are consistent with it's own
terms for the assurance of peace.
Insofar as the Monroe Doctrine
tends to the same end" II is stated
whatever validity 1t possesses can.
not be affected by the covenant"
Not Like Holy Alliance.
The word external" in Article 10
according to the analysis, shows that
the leageu cannot be used like the
holy alliance to suppress national OF
other movements within the boun
daries of member states, but only to
prevent forcible annexation from with
out.
Articles 10, IL and 19 are cited as
making plain that the covenant is not
intended to make the new territorial
settlement in Europe unalterable for
all time, but, on the contrary, to pro
vide the machinery for the progressive
regulation of international affairs.
Many of the quarrels of the past,
the statement adds, "arose from the
absence of this machinery. SO that the
covenant may be said to inaugurate q
new international order and thereby
eliminate, so far as possible, one OF
the principal causes of war"
