RUMANIANS TO END
FOOD REOUISITIONS
Allied Administrator Threat.
ems to Quit Budapest.
BY the Associated Press.

BUDAPEST, via Vienna. Aug. 13 (de-
layed) As a result OF the first days
conference between the Interallied Com
mission, Constantine Dlamendy and
Gen. Marghason. commander OF the Ru-
manian troops here, a promise was made
by the Rumanians that they would cease
requisitioning food in Budapest and GER
tain other localities. What guarantees
were given for the carrying out of this
promise Is not known at present. nor Is
II clear when the Rumanians will leave
the city
Capt. Thomas c. Gregory. chief al
lied food administrators in central Eu-
rope appeared before the conference and
said he would not assist In sending food
TO Hungary II the Rumanians were going
to requisition It.
IF the Rumanians will not leave ] am
going home" he said.
Many roads leading from Budapest to
the frontier are lined with families fee
ing from this city. The Rumanians are
charging 5000 crowns for issuing passes
to leave Budapest.
The Socialists became conciliated and
agreed to Join the new Cabinet when Arch
duke Joseph, the Governor of State, re-
iterated to-day his intention to retire
from points when the Cabinet definitely
was formed. The Socialists had feared
that loyalist influences would be used in
the coming elections for the proposed
Constituent Assembly.

HUNGARIAN CABINET FALLS.
Conservative Body Succeeds. Ii
Report by Way of Berlin.

LONDON, Aug. 15.-Despatches received
in London by way OF Berlin say that
the new Hungarian Cabinet, headed by
Herr Lovassy. has failed. One despatch.
credited to the Budapest correspondent
of the Berlin VoSsische Zeitun1. declares
that another Cabinet which is ultra con-
sentative has been formed.
The Vossische Zettun0's list of the
latest Cabinet embraces Herr Friedrich
as Premier and Herr Lovassy as For
eign Minister.
An incomplete despatch coming from
the correspondent OF the Associated
Press in Budapest says the failure of
the Lovassy Government was con-
sidered to be due mainly to the So
cialists insisting at the last moment
that insufficient guarantees OF a demo-
cratic government had been given. This
despatch adds that the Archduke Joseph
regime was credited with having made
a mistake. because while proclaiming
that 1t desired to cooperate with the
Socialists II made war on everything
communistic with which a certain ele-
ment of the Socialists was In sympathy.
Several thousand Communists. the de-
spatch says. were arrested, including
the former Soviet President Garbai,
which also angered the Socialists, be-
cause Garbai was always considered to
be a moderate.

RUMANIA SATISFIED
WITH ALLIES REPLY


does not ask the Rumanlans TO leave
Budapest Immediately.
The council advises Rumania that the
interallied military commission at Brda-
pest will discuss mooted points with
Rumanian officials there. The reply OF
the council is looked upon as having
been designed to facilitate negotiations
without causing a breach.
The Rumanian army arrived In Blu
dapest before the Bucharest Govern
ment had received the note from the
Supreme Council asking that Rumanian
troops be not allowed to enter the Hun
garian capital. the Rumanian communi-
cation said.
The Rumanian Government added that
IL still regards itself AZ an ally OF the
Entente and as a member Of the Peace
Conference, The Rumanian commune
cation came from the Foreign Office at
Bucharest, but did not bear the sigma
ture of Premier Bratiano. II was looked
upon as conciliatory In tone
1t was contended by the Rumanian
Government that the Rumanians In their
considerations In Hungary were merely
getting back their own property. II was
insisted also that the armistice OF No
vember 1918, no longer exists.
The Supreme Council In its reply said
II differed from many Of the points raised
by Rumania, but that the Interallied
Commission in Budapest would discuss
them.
NJ. Pachitch OF the Jugo-slav peace
delegation, according to the newspapers.
told Frank Polk, head Of the American
delegation. that the Jugo-Slav Govern
ment and people were firmly opposed TO
the restoration OF the Hapsburgs In Hun
gary. Mr.. Polk is said to have an
swered that the American delegation
was Of the same opinion.
The Czecho- Slovak Government also
has protested against the danger OF a
Hapsburg restoration through the ele-
walton of Archduke Joseph TO the head

TONS. and some astonf>hment was
caused when MT. IsAse this evening de-
cisred vige.sS~w that no such docu-
ment existed.
II have listened TO other peoples
suggestions for reservations but have
written none OF my own" he said. 81
have no pride Of authorship and haven't
attempted to make myself author Of
| reservations. There have been no nego-
tiations with the Democrats as TO the
possibility Of agreeing on a form OF
reservations. Name one Republican
Senator who has done any such nego-
tiating7 It can't be done. The Demo-
Gratis may talk Of It; that Is true. We
are being asked what we are willing to
do, but we have not said. When we are
ready to do 1t we will: we have the
majority"
II developed that the reservations
which had come to be labelled as the
Lodge reservations were sent to Mr..
Lodge by q widely known international
lawyer, a gentleman whose name has
never appeared in the list OF doctors Of
/ the treaty. He wrote out form Of
resolution with reservations and sent H.
to Mr.. Lodge, who has shown II TO a
number OF Senators. some OF whom seem
to have gained the impression that II
was the personal production of Senator
Lodge. 1t was In fact nothing OF the
sort
Will Take Care OF ireland.
II was learned to-day that an amend-
ment will positively be presented intended
to deal with the case OF Ireland II will not
mention Ireland by name as at present
framed, but will be readily recognized
as the one which Ireland's friends will
want passed. 1t will provide that
nothing IN the treaty shall be construed
to make the league an instrument by
which to SUPPRESS the efforts Of any peo-
pie to attain their independence.
Senator Lodge has proposed reserva-
ton requiring all American officials
serving in connection with the treaty's
administration shall be appointed subject
to ratification by the Senate. There
probably will be no opposition, as sena-
tor Swanson (Va.) declared that 1t was
obviously correct.
Some rather casual inquiry into Sena-
| torial opinion has ended suggestions
| about having the Senate discharge the
Foreign Relations Committee from fur
| Their consideration OF the treaty. The
reason Is that II has become apparent
that there would not be a chance for
such n motion to carry. Even the least
| enthusiastic Republicans would oppose,
and some Democrats. One Republican
looked on by Democrats as rather hope
full material for them to work on told
Senator Hitchcock 1t was impossible for
the treaty to be ratified without really
effective reservations, adding, You
might as we'll get that out of your head"
The Republicans have no fancy for
meaningless and innocuous interpreta-
| tons. Senator Lodge for example de-
clared to-day that II a majority Of the
Senate should prove willing to accept
that sort of programme of reservations
he would vote TO reject the entire treaty.
Tonight the Administration forces
face this situation:
1t is beaten in the effort to ratify
without modification. While seeking to
compromise on the most harmless reser-
vations possible, and still claiming a
chance to muster the necessary majority
to do this. IL faces the increasing and
really imminent danger that the treaty
as whole will be rejected.
