PROTEST AGAINST
 HUNGARIAN GOVT. Large Demonstration Occurs
 Against ArChduke Joseph FEAR REACTI0NARY ELEMENT
Social Democrats Inclined to Support An Invasion of Hungary-Czccho- SloVaks Chccrcd by Note From Peaco Conference.

Prague, Aug. Il, (By Associated Press. .)-Large but orderly demon stratlons occurred here today, being led generally by the social democratic element, in protest against the coup d'etat by which Archduke Joseph be- came the head of the Hungarian gov ernment.
 At the beginning of the Rumanian invasion of Hungary, the more con- serVative elements of Czecho- -Sloyakia were insistent that Czech army ad- vance immediately into Hungary to protect Czecho- -Slovakian interests there. Prof Masaryk, president of Czecho-Slovakia and mem bers of his ministry opposed such a movement. declaring they desired to act entirely in coordination with the great DOW CTS and did not wish to embarrass them further in the situation which had arisen because of the Rumanian invasion which was in violation of the armistice.
 Fear Rcactionary Element.
 Fears are expressed that the reac- tionary element in Vienna will join forces with those back of the ascend ancy of Archduke Joseph and will amalgamate the Austrian and Hun garian states into an intensely au- tocrat government which will become the center of autocratic propaganda in Central Europe. As Archduke Jos eph is a Hapsburg. Czecho- -Slovakian officials hope the United States will use It's Influence in preventing the new regime from succeeding. They base their hope on the fact that & government by any Hapsburg was one nf tEon fot oF nounced by President Wilson before he would agree to the conclusion of an armistice. No Czecho-Slova kian officials believe Archduke Joseph represents the true sentiment of the Hungarian common people any more than did Bella Kun They say both governm ents were based on "ter rorlsm and in opposition to the aspir- ations of the common people throueh- out Central Europe"
 Ministry Reticent.
 Up to this time the Czecho- -Slovak- ian ministry has been reticent in giy- Ing expression to it's views respecting developments in Hungary but to- days demonstrations make it neces- sary for the government to make some declaration and the sentiments of large majority of officials are epltom1zed here. The Czecho- -Slovaks are cheered by the note from the peace conference to the Rumanians on August ' inquiring whether the Rumanians had "decided to disasso- ciate themselves from the Allies" This note was published here today A strong feeling exists here that the close relationship between the Hohen- zollerns and the Hapsburg is some way connected with the present Hoh- enzollern occupant of the Rumanian throne, King Ferdinand, and the lat

MADE OCCASION FOR FESTIVAL
Travellers in Northern Russia Fittingly Celebrate the Crossing of the
 Arctic Circle.

On the trains running northward across north Russia. the crossing of the arctic circle is made the occasion for a festival similar to that which tourists used to enjoy on shiphoard when crossing the equator The train makes stop of several hours in the midst of snow-coyered waste on the shores of the White sea. The passen- gers stretch their legs and take q con stitutonal out over the frozen surface of the White sea, while d picnic din ner is being prepared.
 The exact spot where the railroad crosses the circle is probably not de- termined with scientific accuracy. but the men who built the railroad appar- entity agreed on an approximate loca- ton, and this is marked with a suit able inscription. At this point also the railroad builders have left q slight gap, probably not more than quarter of an inch between the rails, so that, as passengers often notice, when the train passes over the circle there is Il distinct jolt and jar"
