SLAV PEASANTS HATE RED GUARDS
 OF NEW REGIME

VLADIVOSTOCK.-The Russian peasants hate the Red Guard hundred times more than they ever hated the agents of the former Russian emperor, according to traveller from Moscow, as quoted in the Omsk newspaper Slovo. Per haps the traveller says, this may account for some of the feirceness and ruthlessness of the Bolshevik rule.
 Under the emperor's regime, he says. the murderer of village con stable would have been shot and the executions would have stopped there but the Bolsheviki will shoot scores of peasants for the murder of Red Guard.
 All the way from Moscow to Tambov could be seen people called
 sack carriers men and women who had left their towns and viii lages in the hope of finding else where bread and wheat. The Bol- sheviki had orders to shoot all sack carriers, women. children or old men whether they were in quest of bread for themselves and their starving families or to sell at higher prices. And they were shot. The traveller claims to have seen some of these people running along the tops of railroad cars. jumping from one to another. with the Red Guards shooting at them from the platform. The meanings of those struck down were heard far into the night
 The train passed Tambov. Atakar, Balashev, all situated in fertile corn country. But nowhere was there bread even for the Russians who had raised the corn. It had been exported, nobody could say where.
 4 student member of the Com mittee of Fight Counter-Revolution, who was on the same train, ad mittedthat he and his friends knew that the Social Revolutionaries as well as the Mensheviki were not counter-reyolutionists, but the com mittee he said was obliged to view them as such if they wanted to continue to rule. If communism" he said. will not fit the Russian people. we shall have to abandon the power, but in that case we shall act !n fashion to be remembered for long time"
 The train passed military trains going to the front. The soldiers appeared gloomy and sleepy, prin- cipally sleepy. T he traveller saw some looking for a place to lie down. but an officer. carrying a whip motioned them out Their grum- blings were silenced by the whip or by the sight of bayonet glist- ening in the hands of sailor who accompanied the officer.

 COPENHAGEN, March 3t Iae Vienna Voks Zeitung's Budapest cor respondent says the Hungarian govern ment has offered to ally itself against the entente, according to dispatch re- ceived here.
 A telegram of the Wolff bureau says, however nothing IS known in official quarters in Berlin concerning such an offer.
 VIENNA, Saturday. March 29.-By The Associated Press)-Following the practice put into effect by the Russian soviet government at Moscow, bank presidents in Budapest have become mere figureheads while soviet clerks administer the business. Rents no longer are paid to landlords, but to the government which is represented by the janitors. The stores have been na- tionalized and the heads of factories have been replaced by those elected by the workmen. The banking business is being handicapped under the new reg ulations.

All are deprived of their belongings at the frontier if they attempt to pass the border without be- ing searched.

 The statement quoted an official dispatch from Belgrade, which said the following information was received from Spalato under date of March 10:
 Italian marines, following a plan arranged beforehand with sympa thizers of Italy in Spalato, provoked great disorder, in this manner pre- venting the departure of the inter allied patrols (American, French, Brit ish and Italian). It had been decided previously by the allied admirals that these patrols should depart tomorrow, because order had been preserved in Spalato.
 The population was perfectly or derly and quiet. The Jugo-Slav did not give the slightest cause for a provocation or quarrel. The Jugo- Slavs were glad the Italians were to leave the city tomorrow and let them pass their last day in Spalato as they liked it.
 Italian Soldiers Caused Riot

The mans friends tried to defend him, but the Italians took out their knives and began to strike around them.
