in FIGHT FOR
VIENNA RULE
Fail in Attempt to Over

ernment.

Vienna, Saturday, April 19.-By
the Associated Press.)-The COM
munists. it appeared late tonight,
had failed in their attempt to seize
control of the government. Most of
the Hungarian agitators in Vienna
have been arrested and the arrest of
Austrian agitators has been begun.
Vienna, Friday, April 1S-Control
of Vienna has been reported taken
over by the soldiers council Quiet

1t is possible there will be no
change in the name of the govern

purpose.
Soviet Has 5000 Troops.
The situation is much the same
as it was at Budapest few hours
after the radicals had taken con-
troll. The policing of the city has
been taken over by the Volkswehr
The parliament building was oc-
cupied this morning by two bat
talions of soldiers after represent
atives of the soldiers council had
placed 5000 men at the govern

standing that the police would be
dispersed.
The soldiers are commanded by

Food Supply Threatened.
Colonel Cunningham. in the name
of the allies, has issued a procla-
nation declaring that if there is
further disturbance the food sup
ply will lbe cut off. For that rea-
son serious trouble is unlikely.
While it is possible there will be
no change in the name of the gov
ernment, it will be none the less
boIshevistic in purpose
Men familiar with the situation
still contend it would be easy to
handle the situation through linn
tied occupation by allied troops,
and also through the guarding of
the frontiers of Poland and the
Ukraine. They assert that with the
help of General Petlura's forces,
the hordes from Moscow could thus
be kept out

to transfer certain imperial bu

Paris, April 21.-Premiers Lloyd
George. CIemenceau and Orlando
met again this morning in VI. Glenn
enceaU's office and resumed consld-
Grafton of the Italian question.
President Wilson again absented
I himself from the conference.
The council of four will meet this
afternoon, President Wilson and
Premiers Lloyd George, Clemen-
ceau and Orlando attending.
The Italian parliament, which
was to have met on Wednesday of
this week, will not convene until
Tuesday, May 8, according to dis
patches from Rome. This postpone
ment has evidently been caused by
the failure of the council of four of
the peace conference in Paris to
reach as yet any solution of the
problem raised by Italy's claims 10
Fiume and the Dalmatian coast.
Issue at Acute Stage.
Dispatches from Paris indicate
that the situation caused by ItaIy's
unyielding attitude has reached
critical phase. News from the peace
conference on Sunday showed that
representative of Great Britain
and Italy, the three nations togther
with Russia. signatory of the treaty
f of London, framed at London IN

i dent Wilson was not present. 1t also
a11sunCed that he would not be

reopened today.
Mr.. Wilson has stood out against
recognition of the treaty of London,
upon which Italy's maximum terri
i torial claims are based, and his ap-
sence from the meeting yesterday
B might have been caused by the fact
4 that the Italians were invoking that
& convention in support of their ter
+. ritorial claims.
The issue has reached a stage
! where a decision one way or the
other cannot longer be deferred and
decision either way is fraught
with serious consequences.
Baron Sonnino continued to oc-
cupy the exereme position. insisting
upon the integral fulfilment of the
secret treaty of London giving to
Italy the entire Dalmatian coast and
4 islands and also claiming the city of

Premier Orlando was rather more
sconciliating, though telegram
which he had received from the
heads of the Italian army declared
h that the entire army was behind

Capt. Tozzi of Premier Orlando's
staff said the telegram was in effect
an ultimatum and disclosed how
universal and deep rooted was the
Y Italian determination to secure ade-
quate protection on the eastern Ad-
riatic coast. He added that if these
rights were not recognized Italy

MAKE PLANS TO
FLASH TREATY
AROUND WORLD
Newspaper Men Urge
Making Document
Public at Once.

Paris, April 21.-(By the AS
sociated Press.) = The council OF
four of the peace conference, in the
interval before the peace treaty is
handed to the German delegates,
will take up the question of making
the document public. Ray Stannard
Baker, representing the American
delegation, in agreement with the
press advisors to the delegations of
other countries, has recommended
to the council the publication of the
treaty Immediately after it's deliv-
cry to the Germans. Otherwise, it is
pointed out the first version of the
important provisions of the treaty
would be issued by the Germans
and might be loaded up with Ger
man propaganda.
The plan proposed on behalf of
the United States is for the Amer
lean delegates to cable for Amer
taneous distribution on the Amer
lean continent, first a $50 word Of
fetal summary of the treaty; sec
ond, a 5000 word official summary,
and third, the text of the treaty. The

was received.
Washington Has Text.
The text of the covenant of. the
league of nations has already been
telegraphed to the state department
at Washington for release when
authorized by President Wilson.
Other parts of the treaty are likely
to be cabled during the present
week. The final dispatch. which may
count up to nearly 100000 words,
can be cabled in four or five hours
if all the cables are cleared for
the purpose. The capacity of the
cables is 100000 words a day. and
the associated governments could
order the text of the peace treaty

the enormous task of transmission
could be accomplished with less de-
