Bella KUN DIRECTS
DRIVE ON RUMANIA

VIENNA, July 26.-The Hungarian
reds continuing their offensive
against the Rumanians, were ad-
vancing today along the entire bank
Of the TisZa river.
Reports received here stated the
red offensive was being directed by
Bella Kun. tThis apparently refutes
the report that Bella Kun had been
ousted as dictator of the Hungarian
communist government, or indicates
that he has returned to power).
The red forces, in their drive
toward Grosswardein, had captured
the important towns of SZentes and
Torok -SzentmiklOs, east of the Tisza,
between Budapest and their objec-
tive. They also had seized large
Quantities of war material.
In their defeat of the Rumanians,
the reds crossed the Tisza at numer-
Gus places between Tokaj and Cson-
grad. They were under command Of
Commissary LANDER and former
Lieutenant Colonel Julier, chief Of
the general staff.
II is Learned the reds also intend
to attack the Hungarian white army,
employing three divisions of infan-
try and thirty batteries of artillery.
