CLERKS TAKE OVER BANKS
Eank Presidents in Budapest Have Be-

Vienna.-FollOwing the practice put
into effect by the Russian soviet gov
eminent at Moscow, bank presidents
in Budapest have become mere figure
heads, while soviet clerks administer
the business. Rents no longer are paid
to landlords, but to the government,
which is represented by the janitors
The stores have been nationalized and
the heads of factories have been re-
placed by those elected by the work
men.
The banking business is being hand
icapped under the new regulations. No
one is allowed to draw out more than
S10O, except in the payment of sala-
ries. A check must be signed by all
the trustees before it is submitted to a
bank, where it is honored on the con
dition that the trustees of the institu-
ton are shown to be employees.
During the period in which invento.
ries are being taken all stores are
closed except for the sale of food and
drugs.
Thousands of refugees are travelling
toward Vienna. All are deprived of
their belongings at the frontier if they
attempt to pass the border without be-
ing searched.
Members OF the wealthy class have
resolved to tarry in Budapest and

NEWT NORTHUMBERLAND
Air Flight as Figured by Noted Expert.
Claim Trip Can Be Made in
Twenty Hours.

London-From Newfoundland 10
Ireland in twenty hours, making use OF
the prevailing wind, is now figured as
a very sane problem by Maj. c. c.
Turner. one OF England's foremost avl-
Rtors.
This is calculated possible with the
R-33, the gigantic new rigid airship
which the British government has just
started out under experiments. Maj
Turner believes that the airship is to
play a great part in transatlantic vOy-
ages for reasons that have not yet
been fully explained. II is not a ques-
ton of rivaling the airplane.
So far as duration OF voyage without
refuelling is concerned. the airship
threatens TO rival the steamship. says
Mai. Turner.
The RIB. which is only prelude
to greater vessels. will besable to keep
her engines going for about six days.
But whenever the wind is favorable,
which will usually be the case one way
or the other across the Atlantic, il
can stop some or all OF its engines
and drift toward its port.
THE fastest steamship is unable to
derive much profit from a favorable
wind"

TENSE SITUATION.

Paris.-Despite embarrassments. the
Americans are proceeding on the the
DRY that the peace treaty will be ready
by May 1, and that the redraft of the
covenant of the league of nations will
be ready.
1t cannot be foretold at this time,
however, how much the Monroe doc
trine and the Japanese demands OF
equality of nations will delay matters.
Although there is an absence OF au-
tehentic information, the delegates ad-
nit that the situation in the near east
is so tense that they would not be
surprised at anything which might
happen there"
One question that was uppermost
was what attitude will Great Britain
and America take if Serbia is attacked
by a country with which the entente
is still officially at war?
In addition to the Bolshevik prob
lem, which it IS admitted is getting
worse hourly, other obstacles are CON
tinually cropping up. Food supplies is
another problem.

KAROLYI CHARGED WITH PLOT
French and Roumanian Documents
Prove Hungarian Revolt Was In
tended To Test Allies Policy

Paris-Reports TO the French for
eign office indicate the Hungarian rev
olutton was staged largely with the
purpose of testing the strength of the
will of the entente powers with the
idea that Germany also might rapidly
disintegrate.
Documents in possession Of the Rou-
manian and French governments, the
newspapers say, prove the advent OF
the communist regime in Hungary was
due in great part to a maneuver OF
Count Karolyi in conjunction with the
German government. The movement
was aimed directly at the allied pow
ers, it is said.
Reports received from Budapest by
the American peace delegation indi-
cate that the new rulers of hungary
are giving assurances that they are
anxious for peace on all fronts and
that the new army they are creating is
directed toward the maintenance of
order and not for purposes of aggres-
sion
The new Hungarian officials are at
tempting to draw a distinction be-
tween communism, which they say
they are trying to practice, and Boil
shevism. They declare they are not
copying the Russian programme, but
are forming dictinctly different pol
