Hungarian Crisis Due
To Vague Boundaries
Washington Believes People
Thought They Were 10 Lose
Neufral Zone

W WASHINGTON, March 24.-Advices
to the State Department received to-
day from European sources gave no in
dlcation Of the extent of the control Of
the new regime beyond the confines of
Budapest. 1t appeared from the ad =
vices, however, that the crisis resulted
from the lines of demarcation estab-
hshcd by the peace conference in cir
cumscribing the territory of hungary
and the general economic situation in
Budapest.
The recognition of the extreme
claims Of the Rumanians and Czecho-
Siovaks and the establishment Of "A neu-
tral zone between these lines and the
limits allowed to Hungary. which zone
was to be held by the French until the
final peace treaty was completed, was
said to have been more than the old
Hungarian government was able to ac-
cept and remain in power.
1t was suggested that the fact that
these lines were not to be the final
limitations of the new Hungarian state
was not appreciated by the Hunga
rians, who apparently proceeded upon
the theory that they we're to lose even
the neutral zone occupied by the
French.
New-York tribune., 1919-03-25

that Rumanians, Czechs and Serbs
started rumors in Entente countries
that Bolshevism is developing in
Hungary and claimed that by these
rumors the Rumanians, Czechs and
Serbs hoped they might be allowed
to occupy disputed districts OF Hun
gary on the preteXt of restoring or
der and defending their nationals"
In Entente diplomatic and military
circles it was declared prompt military
action must be taken by the Allies to
arrest the dangerous advance of Boil
shevism from Russia. Troops. it was
asserted are Immediately available to
start this operation. Polish. Czecho-
Sovak, Italian, French, Eumanian and
Greek forces can be rushed to the
western and southern frontiers of Rus
sia. French and Greek expeditions be-
ing already in the Ukraine. 1t was not
anticipated the situation would be diff
ticult to control unless Trotzky should
succeed in pouring his hordcs into
when it would be critical.

Paper Says Desperation
Caused HungnyiGn Crisis

The "Magyar Munkaslap" ("Hun-
garian Workman's Journal") will dis
cuss Bolshevism's invasion of Hungary
in its next issue, asserting that des-
peration drove the nation into the
arms OF the Reds. Only the Hun
garian hopes centring in President
Wilson and the peace conference, the
editorial will say, held Hungary steady
IN her misery and now "these hopes
seem to have been shattered"
only two of twenty hospitals in
Budapest have any coal, according to
the editorial, and the resources of the
two more fortunate institutions are
taxed by patients upon whom i'm
mediate operation is necessary; other
patients are left in the unheated hos
pitals. Still there is hope of a prompt

copyright, 1919 New York Tribune Inc
LONDON, March 24.-Thcrc arc two
dlstlnct views here on the cause If
the hungarian swing to Bolshevism
One group declares that the peace dol
cgates are responsible because of their
delay III reaching an agreement. whi1o
another group considers Hunparian
boishevism attributable to the Allies
tardlness IN raising the blockade and
allowing the entrance of food into
Central Europe.
The policy of President Wilson and
Premier Lloyd George is assailcd bv
tne FORMER group, who take cvnic1l
view or the league of nations and saw
mat the present disuuietinr situation
might have been averted if the Allies
mad concentrated their efforts on the
writing OF. an ordinary peace trcaty.
me second group holds that the de-
Velopments in Hungary are an indict
meht or the policy which would starye
the enemy into submission.
Whatever the cause may be. it ;s tho
unanimous decision Of the British
that the peace conference must hasten
with the settlement or anarchy will
sweep through most of Europe. The
case of Hungary is considered warn :
ing The British are spending less
time in considering the causes Of the
Hungarian developments than in spec-
ulating on future developments and
rem1.edyng the present trouble.
!, Little stock is put in the allegation
that the German government engi-
neered the Hungarian revolt, although it
is is advanced in several quarters. On
the contrary, the best opinion is that
the German government views the
developments in Hungary with mucn
alarm .i because of their possible reac-
tion on the situation in Germany.
Certainly, if Scheidcmann now de-
slres to evade the peace conditions
OF the Allies he can do so. One group
mere feels sure that Germany viii
follow Hungary and Russia. Germany
has sent Karl Kautsky to Moscow TO
negotiate with the Bolsheviki, but this
step is considered an effort of the
government to stabilize itself. rather
than evidence Of desire to COOPER
ate with Leninc and Trotzky.

School buildings are public proper

tax payers, yet many young men
consider them the rendezvoux of ruff
fans and gather at such places for
al sorts of rowdyism. A few nights
ago the Ten Mile school house was
visited by some of these ruffians. Is
windows were shot out or knocked out
with stones, the blackboard was brok-
en, benches broken, books taken from
the library case and Uttered with un-

was probable damage of 500 done
