toned on Eastern Front.

CoBLENz. May 2 (delayed) On May
I, which officially marked the end OF the
generalization of the old German army
and the functioning of the new army, or
Reichswehr, Germany had 325, 900 men
OF various classes under arms. according
10 estimates made by American intelli-
gence officers based upon information
from many sources. Included in this
estimate are 100000 soldiers listed as
remnants OF old army units and who are
in garrlsons in different parts of Ger
many awaiting their discharge.
The present strength of troops avail
able for service is approximately 225.-
900, distributed as follows: on the east
crn front. most OF them volunteers. l4O.-
900; Luetwitz corps in and near Berlin,
10000; Frelwilliger. or volunteer units.
elsewhere, 10000.
The foregoing figures do not include
the home guard. policing companies or
soldiers Of the old army who are in hos
pitfalls and not yet discharged. The
present situation in Berlin may resul,
in some changes in the figures, but the
Americans have not yet reached a con-

BUDAPEST. May (delayed) May
Day has been an orgy or red. Thousands
of Red troops marched to Red music
through Red hammered streets. The side
walks were crowded with men women and
girls Haunting red ribbons. Street cars
were red. automobiles were red, rail-
way stations and lampposts we're red

huge red wooden stands on which we're

There also were numerous immense

some of them twenty feet high.
The red celebration continued all day
and all night ana red electric lights
added to the crimson hue after darkness
fell. There were fiery speeches in differ
ent parts OF the city by Bella Kun and
other leaders of the Soviets.
The total cost Of this effort to make
red letter day for Hungarian Com
munism was 100000. taken from the
banks of the country.
Bella Kun declared that the people
could at least Remember forever what had
been tried and he said privately that
no matter II Communism failed it could
be said that It went out In blaze OF
glory. The Imagination Of Hungary's
best artists and artisans was employed
10 make the celebration a success, and
from this viewpoint 1t did not fail.
The most remarkable feature of the
situation now prevailing is the fact that
there IS absolutely no disorder. There
have been relatively few executions al
though the jails are almost bursting
with prisoners.
Joseph Pogany, president OF the SOL
diers' Council. is held responsible for the
Generalization Of army discipline under
the Karolyi regime. The cashiering of
efficient officers was partly responsible
for the lack OF public order. which re-
suited IN the establishment OF commun-

Hungarians. Defeats are now making
the communists regret their mistakes

Special Gable Despatch to The suS.
Copyright. 1919; all rights reserved.


LONDON, May 4.-The lifting of re-
strictions against civilian use OF air
planes did not cause any sensational
rush to the airdromes owing, perhaps,
to the rainy weather. The Air Ministry
has put ban on cross-Channel flying
until after the signing Of the peace
treaty and until the International air
routes and regulations are defined.
Those who will be first to take advan-
tagc of tho remvoal OF restrictions will
mostly be 10Y riders with money to
spend. The big aircraft firms appar-
emily are awaiting events before an
nouncing final plans although some of
them have made 1t known that they will
inaugurate passenger carrying service
soon. A company headed by Grahame
White already has started London
Manchester service. the first passenger
being a woman sales agent. This route
is known as Route No. 10" 1t probably
will be used more than any of the other
air pathways now being mapped by the
Government.
With the Inauguration Of aircraft
service England's most obscure places
will DO brought into prominence. The
new air maps pay scant attention to the
populous places, because of the scarcity
of landing places. Due to this strange
turn the little village of Lympne has
boen authorized as the landing place for
cross Channel flying 1t was formerly
a British port. but that was in the time
of the Romans The sea long since has
receded, leaving It high and dry, and
once more IL promises to become a great
port OF entry and exit.
Tho Air once Is working in close CO.
operation with the civilian flying ma
chine companies with view to the or
derby establishment OF new air routes.
Under the arrangements being worked
out all branches Of the civil Government
will be required to prevent smuggling,
to prevent dangerous exploits, or flying
in improperly constructed machines.
