HUNGARY IN GRIP
Of BOLSHEVISM
Declares War ON Allies-Situati0n
Said To Be Serious

Washington. March 25.-Reports OF
an increasing seriousness of the stu
alton in Hungary led to an opinion
expressed today by an official of the
state department that "the time had
come for the allied nations represent
cd at Paris to take a definite and firm
stand against bolshevism." Little
news Of an official nature was receiv-
ed at the state department during the
day. but dispatches from Paris indi-
Gated that grave apprehension was
felt over the situation.
London, March ga dispatch from
Hungary a y there is great excite
ment in Vienna. The report is not
surprising to those who were aware
of the true condition OF affairs, says
the Vienna correspondent of the Tele-
gram. He says the Communists have
long been the real martyrs of the
country and have bean awaiting an
opportunity to get rid of Karolyi, who
is considered in Hungary capable of
making a stand against the Extrem-
lists even in Czecho-Slavakia there are
strong Bolsheviki influences. He says
there is grave danger OF Bohemia fol-
lowing Hungary.
The situation Is attributed to the
failure OF the peace conference to rec
ognize the seriousness of the situation
and occupy Budapest with entente
troops. He says the only way to I'VE
the situation is to send American and
British forces there and adds that
where a battalion would have done
formerly a brigade would have to be
sent now.
Getman Hand Seen I'm Crisis
Hungary's adoption of Bolshevism
is regarded most seriously by the
Anglo-French press, chiefly as en-
dangering the entente efforts to build
up the Rumanians. Polish, end Czecho
SIavak states as bulwarks against
German domination of central Europe.
All these three states are menaced
sy advancing Bolsheviki armies. ac-
cording to a Vienna dispatch. 1t was
the establishment of the neutral zone
on the Hungarian Rumanian frontier
which the peace conference had de-
cided on which precipitated the crisis.
This zone was intended to make the
Hungarians desist from attacking the
Rumanians and to close the gaps be-
deciding this zone was dated March
10, the Vienna advices state. The
zone was fixed as about lao miles
long and forty miles wide, virtually
shutting Hungary behind the rivers
Thiess, Szamosa and Marsos and i'm
Guiding the towns of Grosswardein,
Debreczen, and the entire country be-
hind them.
The note required the withdrawal
by the Hungarian troops, behind the
western boundary with ten days and
authorized the Rumanians to advance
to the eastern boundary. the single
government of the neutral zone was
to be exercised by Hungarians under
allied control but the important ports
would be occupied by allied troops.
Statements issued at Budapest accuse
the entente of forcing q revolution but
the crisis is held here to be more
probably due to the occupation OF
part of Hungary by Czecho-Slavaks
and Rumanians.
Signs are not wanting that Germany
is in cullusion with the Bolsheviki.
DR.. Bernard Dernburg, the former
German colonial minister, writes to
the Berlin Tageblatt something which
evidently has a bearing on the stu
alton when says that Germany
threatened by oppression with dishon-
or instead OF security in the west,
must turn eastward to realize her
future"

Paris, March 24.-"The situation Is
as serious as that which arose when

as a hundred years ago, negotiators

their destiny" writes viscount Bryce
in the Journal.
