RUSSIAN BLOCKADE
UP At PEACE TABLE;
Bella KUN RESPONDS
Lifting of Ban Against Ships
Entering Bolsheviki's Ports
Depends on Americans.

Paris, July 16.-(By the Associated
Press)-The council of five met this
afternoon, its chief topic of discussion
being the Russian blockade.
There have been proposals that the
powers shall allow ships to enter Rus
sian ports, under special permits, the
United States having constantly insist
ed that there has been no blockade
against Russia, except such as is Incl
dental to the embargo on imports to
Germany. Consequently, the American
delegates were not ready to take any
action in the matter until instructions
have been received from Washington.
A note has been received from Bella
Kun, foreign minister of the Hungarian
soviet government, declaring that the
Czechs and Rumanians violated the
terms of the armistice with Hungary
and that, consequently, Hungarian forces
were ordered to cross the boundaries
fixed by the armistice. The note claims
that this order was issued in self de-
fense.
The boundaries fixed by the armistice
are so uncertain that the supreme coun-
Gil has referred the matter to military
commission for decision.
