gorica|Iy Asked For.

| Paris, Aug. 7.-Herbert Hoover,
head of the irter-allied relief com

cisions of the entente and not to EN-

sent there. 1t was added that the
only Americans in the Hungarian
capital are officers, and possibly a
few soldiers engaged in relief work.

vised today that the Hungarian
cabinet, headed by Jules Peidil,

Roumanian forces are reported to
have crossed into the business sec
ton of Budapest, seizing supplies

Berlin, August 7.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-It is expected that
the entente powers will demand the

Hungarian soviet leaders by the
Austrian government, according to
dispatches from Vienna. 1t is said
that it is probable Austria will be
asked to hand them over to the new
Hungarian government when it is
finally constituted.
There has been a number of ar
rests in Vienna in connection with
plot to murder DR.. Karl Renner,
Austrian chancellor and head of the
Austrian peace delegation, and
other ministers, and Doctor Seitz,
president of German-Austria, &C
cording to a dispatch received here
from Vienna.
The United States, through its
representatives in Budapest, has
taken issue with the Roumanian COM
mand for its actions in the Hungar-
ian capital, according to advices re-
ceived from Budapest.
The advices say the American
shthorities have threatened to cut
off all supplies to Roumania if the
armistice conditions imposed on
Hungary by the Roumanians are
not rescinded.

BILL WOULD MAKE THE CLOSED SHOP'
 ILLEGAL IN ALABAMA

It became known yesterday that bill against the closed shop had been introduced into the legislature of Ala bama and had been reported favorably for passage. The introduction of such a measure, according to comment pro- mulgated by the league for industrial rights, is considered an excellent way to debate the Americanism of the closed shop.
 The bill would prohibit and punish employer and employe for discrimin- ation against each other and against laborers not members of a union or labor organization and against the state of Alabama and the products of the state of Alabama. It continues thus:
 Any person, firm or corporation occupying the position of employer of labor to discharge. suspend or trans : | fer or reduce the wages of any em- ploye or other person in the service 1 thereof because such employe or other l person is member of a labor union

End of Five Glorious Days.
On July 80 the orders from the army
required the division to organize and
hold the ground gained. That night
the division was relieved by the Fiji
teenth Scottish Division. The First
Division had remained in line longer
than the other divisions of the corps.
During five days 1t had fought desper-
ately and had gained eleven kilometers.
1t had captured 125 officers. 1876 men,
seventy-fve n millimeter and 1876

$500 rifles, fifty mortars and large
quantities of small arm and artillery
ammunition. 1t had taken the towns
Of Missy, Ploissy and Berry le-Sec,
and in conjunction with the First

outskirts of Buzancy, sIt had effectual-
ly cut the railroad and the high road
running south from Scissors. -
The casualties of the division
amounted to 2S5 officers and 1856 men
killed. wounded and missing. They
included rs per cent of the infantry
field officers, 60 per cont, OF the infan-
try officers and 80 per cent. of the en-
listed strength OF the troops engaged.
The division here gave proof OF the
high morale, the excellent training and
fortitude OF the officers and soldiers
that had been acquired in the sectors
OF Ansauville and Cantigny. None but
the best disciplined and most seasoned
troops could have preserved their CO.

cessful assaults under the losses sus-
tanned by the division and under the
bitter opposition continually interposed
by successive fresh enemy divisions.

place earlier, at Chateau Thierry and

But the check was temporary, not de-
