Give TarnopoI to Reds.
London, March 24-The Chronicles
Copenhagen correspondent says that,
according to a Berlin message to the
Po;itiken, the Hungarian crisis may
affect the whole of Europe. The new
government is said to have admitted
the Russian Red army into Tarnopol,
near the Galician frontier.
The Berlin correspondent of the Co.
ponhagen Osketidende says the deci-
sion for the revolution was taken Fri
day afternoon, wheH the Hungarian
government learned the French, Rou-
manian and Czech troops were to oc-
cupy parts of Hungary in order to
stem bolSheviSm.
According to one story the plans
were completed by Russian agents,
who were in Budapest ostensibly as
members of the Russian Red Cross,
but who were acting under orders from
Moscow.
Lenine the Real Ruler
The new socialist and communist
rulers find the machinery Of the soviet
government ready, but they only
non::nally will run the machine, the
director being Lenine.
According to the correspondent
quoted, it is rumored a number of
Czech regiments in the north of Hun
gary mutined and II is feared the
news of what happened in Hungary
will have an inf1ammatory effect in
the Czech state, where bolshevism has
raised its head more boldly than in any
other country outside of Russia.
The correspondent concludes the
message rather eminously. In Vienna,
he says, these events are followed
with extreme tension. The populace
there has shown great patience under
great sufferings, but even the greatest
patience can give way.
