Hoover Urges
Allies to Gust
Joseph at Once

Peace Council After Visit
toCentral EurcpeanLands

PARIS, Aug. Il (By The Associated
Press) Herbert Hoover, head Of the
international relief organization, who
has just returned from two weeks
trip through Central Europe, told
American correspondents to-day that it
is imperative that decisive diplomatic
action be taken Immediately to dis
place Archduke Joseph as head of the
hungarian government and to give
Hungary a chance to establish a popu-
lar government.
The new countries Of Central Europe,
Mr.. Hoover said, are terrorized by the
tolerance shown toward the setting up
of the Hapsburg government In Hun
gary.
Mr.. Hoover, who left Vienna Mon
day night, appeared to-day before the
Supreme Council and made his COM
ments on the Hungarian situation to
American newspaper men after he left
the council meeting.
In discussing the Hungarian situa-
ton Mr.. Hoover asserted that Arch
duke Joseph's resignation can be
forced within five days If the Supreme
Council takes a firm stand, but that
bloodshed will result if such action is
postponed.
The United States can prevent the
restoration of the Hapsburgs, Mr.
Hoover said, by refusing to recognize
or to deal with such a government. 1t
is beyond the endurance of any red
blooded American, he said, to see his
government tolerate the restoration of
the Hapsburgs, as the United States
entered the war to Danish from the
world that for which the Hapsburgs
and the Hohenzollerns stood.
The Ruhanians, Mr.. Hoover added
still are requisitioning Hungarian
food. Only yesterday, he said, the
Rumanians, under the eyes of Amer-
can officers, seized eight truckloads of
medical supplies and food destined for
the children's hospitals of Budapest,
paying no attention to the warnings of
the Sunreme Council

Germans Agree TO End
Upper Silesia Executions

BERLIN, Aug. 21-The following
resolutions have been adopted at the
conference of representatives. of the
German government and the Polish
Mission, attended by Minister of De-
fence Noskc and General Dupont:
First, the Germans will refrain from
further executions; second, the In
ter-Allied Mission shall start for Up

llsh Mission now in Berlin viii go to
Warsaw and remain there until the
lntcr-Allied Commission has made a
report on the situation in Upper
Silesia.
A mysterious distribution of arms
among Pomeranian peasants is re
ported by the "zwoelf Uhr Blatt."

delivered load Of arms Saturday.
Another automobile was seized when
about to deliver 400 rifles and ouan-
tlty of ammunition to the Pomeranian
Agricultural League
PARIS, Aug. 21.-The Supreme
Council will probably send an Allied
military mission to Silesia in an effort
to settle the three-cornered fight be-
tween the Spartacans, Poles and Ger
mans, which involves the mining dis
trcts and is making more acute the
coal shortage in Central Europe. Her
bert Hoover has brought the matter
to the attention Of the council.
The report that inter-Allied t~oops
may be sent is not true, as the council
IS OF the oNinion that probably such ac-
ton might complicate the situation.
The Influence of the Spartacans appar-
emily IS considerable, but the anti
Spartacan miners are offering opposi
tion.
