preme council of the peace confer
cnce sent to Roumanian August {
relative to the armistice the Rou-

Following the fall of the Bella
Kun government and its displace-
ment by a socialistic government,
the supreme council on August
sent to Budapest commission of
four allied generals to enforce the
armistce of November, 1918, and
also to meet the heads of the Rou-
rnanian and Serbian armies in order
to protect the occupied territory
and regulate the conditions of occu-
patton.
Refused Right.
"On August 6 the supreme coun-
Gil, having heard that the Roumanian
authorities at Budapest proposed to
impose on the Hungarian govern
ment an armistice contrary to the
armistice concluded in November
with Hungary in the name of the al
lied powers, and in violation of the
general allies insorfar as reparations
are concerned, advised the Rou-
manian government that it refused
to recognize the right of the Rou-
manian generals to conclude an
armistice without the authorization
of the allied powers.
AT the same time the Roumanian
government was placed on its guard
against taking any action contrary
to humanity or to its authority
which might be committed by Rou-
manian troops the council also de-
manding that the Roumanian gen.
eral-in-chief be given orders to con-
form to the directions of the COM
mission of generals representing the
conference and acting by delegated
',thority.
No Direct Reply.
'The peace conference has not
yet received a direct reply from the
Roumanian governmet 1t learns
that the Roumanian generals refuse
to comply with the instructions of
the allied generals and have pre-
vented publication of the telegram
addressed by the president of the
peace conference to the Hungarian
government. They also are per-
hitting their soldiers to pilfer pri-
vate property and requistioned and
are sending into Roumania live stock
and rolling stock, submitting Buda-
pest to an unnecessary blockade
which is starving the city. They
are destroying the railway lines. In
fact, they are committing a series of
actions which are as much in viola
ton of the decision of the confer
unce as of the rights of the allied
and associated powers and. likewise,
>-imarily of humanity.
DER Issued.
THE supreme council learns at
the same time that the socialistic
Hungarian government was over
Thrown by a coup d'etat its men,
bers arrested and the government
replaced by one having Archduke
Joseph at its head. In view of these
facts the conference is compelled to
believe the Roumanian government
determined to defy the conference
and to separate herself from the
allied and associated powers.
''In event that the conference errs
in this belief. ii requests the Rou-
inaflian government to deny these
statements at once, not by words
but by actions which can publicly
prove that Roumania accepts and is
ready to execute in good faith the
policy decided upon by the confer
ence.
The delegates stated the confer
ence was still without a direct re-
ply from the Roumanian govern
.nent.
