WILL HOLD FORTS
Hungarian Revolt Makes Occu-
patton by Allies Necessary.
Strategic Points in Central
Europe Must Be Taken Over.

Paris, March e4.-Hungary' al
lance with the Bolsheviki and declar-
alton of war against the allies renders
necessary the occupation of strategic
centers in central Europe, unless
peace is speedily signed.
This belief prevailed here today
when leaders of the associated powers
met to discuss the new crisis.
Spread of Bolshevism into Austria
will mean the severance of allied COM
munications with Poland and Czecho-
Slovakia, both of which are regarded
as certain to join the Bolsheviki if
the steady flow of food is interrupted.
Officials here expressed no surprise
at the Hungarian revolution. Count
Karolyi recently told representatives
of the food administration that con-
t1nuance of his government depended
solely upon the peoples confidence in
FOOD relief He said if the blockade
was not lifted, an uprising would oc-
cur and he would make no effort to
resist, as he had nothing but promises

TO HELP COAL TRADE
Government Cooperation Will Con-
tinue for Some Time

Washington, March 24.-Continued
governmental cooperation with the
coal trade has been proposed by the
fuel administration to members of the
National Coal association for referen-
dunn.
If adopted, the ultimate consumer at
last is to get a voice in the matter of
price regulations. The plan proposes:
/. Government to ascertain all facts
related to the industry, such as living
costs, production costs. labor cond1-
tions. transportation, etc.
2. Public, capital and labor all to
be heard before any action taken on
any findings.
3. Separate government agencies to
determine facts and formulate ad-
ministrative policy.
4. Findings of facts, thus proposed,
be submitted to permanent govern
ment commission.
5. President to designate some cab
met or other official to represent the
public in considering any proposed
policy. Operators and miners to have
three representatives each to act as
advisers to commission considering
any proposed policy. The commission
to be purely an advisory board.
6. Commission to make recommen-
dations to the president.
THE president it was explained,
would thus be placed in close rela-
ton with the industry and all factors
entering into it. making for its pros
perity and retarding its development"

HAvE~THREE WAYS
Recognize Better Russ Soviets
Armed Ring Around Reds.
Or Band Allies Together To
Wage War on BOlsheviki.

Washington, March 24-With most
of continental Europe now either UNI
der Bolsheviki control or threatened
with it. disquieting reports-both
press and official-have thrown new
and serious light over the entire in
ternational situation during the last
twenty-four hours.
The situation would seem to pre-
sent three alternatives if the chaos is
to be checked before it spreads fur
Their in Europe. All were being dis
cussed when the peace conference
| first took up the Russian problem All
were discarded at that time for the
plan to invite all Russian factions to
| Prinkipo to talk it over.
That plan has fiZzIed out The
| three alternatives again present them
selves:
/. Recognize the better Russian So
yiets as de facto governments in their
| respective districts or,
| 2. Place an allied armed ring about
| the Bolsheviki-ridden parts of Europe
and try to stop the spread of the
movement while attempting to talk
sense" to the Reds" or,
8. In an effort to stamp out tho
| whole Bolsheviki movement the allies
band together to actually war on those
| threatening world peace.
Observers see a growing possibility
of Germany refusing to sign the peace
and under the influece of the Sparta
cans joining the Bolshevik ranks
against the allies.
State department officials said
| American troops are not likely to be
held abroad as a result of the Bolshe
Wiki outbreak in Hungary.
The situation, they admitted, is seri
Gus. Food is being sent by the inter
allied relief. but officials do not be
lieye that the food situation alone il
responsible for the outbreak of TIL
Bolsheviki. Lack of raw material
and failure to resume industrial &C
tivity are considered important fac
tors

chaos. 1t seems as tho the delegates
had nothing to show for their many
wee,ts of hard work except an in
creased accumulation of unsolVed
problems.
If the situation is half as bad as its
surface indications, it seems certain
the conference will not wind up its
work on the treaty this week or for
several weeks. But members of the
American delegation pointed out that
the situation is similar to that of the
closing days of congress, a state legis-
lature OF a national cOnVention-when
it appears impossible that the work
will be completed, yet it is always fin
, ished.
There is a tendency to feel, too, that
hereafter the British and Americans
will cut the Gordiap knots in the
peace settlement by the direct meth
Cd of laying down program for solu-
ton and enforcing it by their eco
nomic, financial and political Domino
ton.
Rhine Question InsoIubIe.
For instance, the Rhine question
| appeared insoluble today. The French
were still holding out for territorial
security on the left bank Various
compromises have been suggested, re-
| jected and renewed. The most nota-
| BILE of these is the creation of a buffer
| state by establishing independence of
| the Rhenish provinces. If no scheme
consistent with the principle of self de-
| termination and no annexations is
achieved the problem is expected to be
| determined by flat American and
| British declaration somewhat to this
| effect:
You have tried and we have helped
you to work out a plan of territorial
guarantees which will not violate the
| principles underlying the armistice
! Our attempts have ended in failure
/ Therefore, you must accept simply the
guarantee offered under the league OF
nations"
Few here doubt the ability of Great
| Britain and the United States to en-
| force the solution above suggested. The
Anglo-American delegates are expect
| ed to take the same attitude toward
| Italy and Japan. As a result, while
| there appears to be no solution tc
these and many other questions in
| sight it is always possible to fasten the
! lid on international chickering's and
/ sign treaty covering all necessary
points in line with armistice provisions

Negro Who Killed George Moore Ex-
onerated by Coroncr's Jury.

Mack" McGinnis. the negro who
shot and killed George Moore, another
negro, during a quarrel in the Dick
Justice pool hall, 123 West Railroad
street last Friday. was exonerated
from blame by a corOner's jury in the
court of Topeka this morning. 1t was
found that McGinnis took the life of
Moore in self defense and he was re-
leased.

brought out the fact thru the witnesses
for the state as well as for the defense,
that Moore was vicious and dangerous

threats against McGinnis for years,
and had often threatened to stick his
knife in Mack's neck"
1t was shown that McGinnis, who ran
the pool hall for Justice, was in fear
of his life and that that morning he
had put the revolver in his pocket.
After Moore came in, an argument
arose relating to the rules of the
house in regard to card games AT
cording to testimony. The argument
waxed hotter and finally Moore
backed off, in rage. and reached in
his hip pocket, it was shown. Nc
