The American view that submarine
cables are not prizes of war was up-
hold by the council. The question was
presented in a report by a committee
covering three main points. First, the
committee was unanimous that cables
could be cut as an act of military
necessity; second, the committee was
divided on the question as to whether
cables were prizes of war like war
ships, the British, French and japanese
holding them to be prizes, and the United
states and Italy taking the opposite
view; third, the committee was unani-
nous that the United States or other
third parties should be consulted on the
final disposition OF German cables land
ing on their shores. The council finally
approved the view that cables are not
prizes, but are subject to the same dis
position as other private property.
The decision affects thirteen German
cables. including those to America and
several in the Pacific connecting. former
German colonies.

in Hungary.
We fear" said one delegate, that in
view OF the geographic situation of
these countries their resistance to the
spread of Bolshcvism may be broken
and that the Bolshevikl may overrun
central Europe. The Hungarian revolu-
ton signifies not onIy an extension oil
the Bolsheviki movement to the doors of
Vienna. Bucharest and Belgrade, but
an alliance between the Russian and
Hungarian Soviet. Perhaps the Aus
tran and German Socialists may be
involved.
"A political and military offensive will
probably be directed first against Poland
and Rumania and then against CZecho-
%,ovaka. The turn IF the Jugo- SLAVIC
nation will come next. In that event the
armies of Lenne and his allies would
have only to cross Jugo- Slav territory to
invade western Europe"
The delegates derive from this situa-
ton an argument in favor Of the recog-
milton of the Jugo-Slav nation as a
means of strengthening the authority
and prestige of that government.

Hungarian Move Mere
Mask, TieU at Prague

Prague, March 25.--(By A. P.)-
In political circles here It is de.
clared that the recent happenings
in Budapest had long since been ar.
ranged by Count Karolyi. who sur.
rendered his office of provisional
president in favor of the proletariat
government. The change of govern.
ment, it is declared in these circles,
was a political maneuver.
Masquerading under the name of
a soviet regime, the Hungarian
Government, it is contended, is
really standing for nationalism,
chauvinism and the Hungarian idea
which has always inspired all the
Hungarian governments, whether
they were headed by the late Count
Tisza, Count Karolyi or others.
In the view Of this capital these
governments have only one object.
the domination of the Hungarian
races over all the others.
