london, March 24.-The Chronicles
Copenhagen correspondent says that.
according to a Berlin message to the
Poiitiken, the Hungarian crisis may
affect the whole of Europe. The new
government is said to have admitted
the Russian Red army into Tarnopof,
nea the Galician frontier.
The Berlin correspondent Of the Co
penhagen Osketidende says the deci-

day afternoon, when the Hungarian
government learned the French, Rou.
manian and Czech troops were to oc-
cupy parts of Hungary in order to
stem ~bolsheyism.
According to one story the plans
were completed by Russian agents,
who were in Budapest ostensibly as
members of the Russian Red Cross,
bu- who were acting under orders from
Moscow.
Lenine the Real Ruler.
The new socialist and communist
rulers find the machinery of the soviet
SOFOihAiChl lCduy, DuI luSy only
nominally will run the machine, the
director being Lenine.
According to the correspondent
quoted, 1t is rumored a number of
Czech regiments in the north of Hun
gary mutined and it is feared the
news of what happened in Hungary
will have an inf1ammatory effect in
the Czech state, where bolshevism has
raised its head more boldly than in any
other country outside of Russia.
The correspondent concludes the
message rather %eminously. In Vienna,
he says, these events are followed
with extreme tension. The populace
there has shown great patience under
great sufferings, but ven the greatest
patience can give way.
