HUNGARIANS SEEK TO

PARIS, June 10. (By the Associated
iress.)-Buoyed up by their recent vic
tories against the Czechs, the Hun
garians apparently are determined to

Czechs' chief river port. The Czech
armies are being r~eorganized under
French Officers, the Italian officers pre-

placed.
Peace conference circles, however, are
much worried over the situation, as
reports indicate that the Hungarians
have practically all the old Austrian
army's artillery and consequently are
much better equipped than the Czechs.
The president of Czecho-Slovakia,
Thomas Masaryk, Is appealing to the
conference daily for assistance.
Bella kun's troops are parading Ru-

ing their own guards patrolling the
city along with the red guards.
Reports to the conference show that
Bella Kun's position has been strength
ened by the prospect that his govern
ment may receive limited recognition
through possible negotiations with the
peace conference. Official reports have
been received declaring That the Gzechs
have crossed the temporary boundary
fixed by the conference. Consequently
the Czechs are not considered blame-
less.
