 Rumanians Arrogant.
 "As for Hungary, few people here believe it will survive as an inde- pendent country. Eventual union with Rumania seems now inevitable, either with it's own king as vassai, or simply as part of the empire.
 "The Rumanians were quick to see the powerlessness of the allies and simply disregarded the communica- tions from Paris. The so-called h. ter-allied military mission, unbacked by anything real is a farce. The other day a letter was sent to the Rumanian commander by this mis- sion, written in English, and he hand ed it back with the remark to com municate with him in language un- derstood by civilized people," Another Rumanian parsonage re- marked that the Paris Conference had sent them a very impolite note to which they were forced to reply in kind. There are merely illustra- tive of the conditions there. Hungary will starve this winter. It is beginning to starve now. The Rumanians have stripped it utterly, from seed wheat to the printing presses. They control and censor the mails and wires and are in fact and deed conquerors.
 Among men with whom I talked in Budapest. there is a conviction that if Hungary survives it will be only under monarchy. The peas antry want a king and the old re- actlonary crowd is powerful, acute ana busy. The great landowners are '5lll the great power and with the church. form a powerful organiza- non.

In fact, mere are any number of royal can- ildates in the offing waiting to see what will happen.
 Want Monarchy.
 AS for Austria, every province ma every district is separate gov ;;rnment by itself. acting indepen- l',e:ntly and often in defiance of the vienna government, which is actual y controlled, as far as any control goes, by these workmen and soldiers councils. Neither the Christian So- 'lallsts nor the Social Democrats ave majority in the assembly, so nat the alderman party with it's membership of about 39 has the bal ance of power and throws it's vote to 'ults its own ends. There must be ,errlble suffering this winter. The ::ountry will be practically without .uei' and it is rigorous winter cli- nate. Food already is scarce and 'oor and daily increases in price.
