HUNGARIAN PEACE
TREATY COMPLETED
Conference Awaits Establish
ment Of Stable Government
Before Presenting It.

PARIS. Oct 15.-The Hungarian
treaty is now completed. The peace
conference is waiting, however. until
q stable government is established At
Budapest before presenting it.
Efforts to hurry up Hungarian
affairs were opposed by the American
peace delegates. II was suggested
that a new note be sent to Budapest
inquiring after the stability OF the
present government. but the Ameri-
cans also opposed this. The proposal,
1t was understood, emanated from the
British.
The supreme council met today and
considered matters arising from the
German treaty. Many details are
being passed upon by the permanent
commissions, thus saving the peace
conference that time.
The conference has been marking
time, in reference to the Won der.
GOItz incident in the Baltic provinces
of Russia, but II the German troops
are not removed in the next few days
drastic steps will be taken, 1t was de-
clared today.

a success a skin grating operation

however, her parents have promised
her a wig as pretty as her natural
