HUNGARY SOVIET
STARTS new WAR
--ALLIES ITS FOES
DEVELOPMENTS OF A DAY
Hungarian Bolsheyik Move More
Serious Than Hun Drive.

Hungary, forming a soviet republic i'll al
lance with the Russian Bolsheviki has de-
clared war the allies. according to dis
patches from Budapest today.
A Bolsheviki army of 10000 under Cen
eraI Georgey is reported to have crossed
the Russian frontier into Hungarian
Galicia and to be marching on Lemberg,
now held by the Poles.
Other Bolshevik detachments are said to
be moving toward Budapest to aid the

guard of a huge Bolsheviki army which
Premier Lenine will send into Hungary
within a few weeks.
The allies have sent fleet of monitors
up the Danube from Belgrade in an eff
fort to reach Budapest, capital of Hungary.
While there has been some disorder In
ceiyed in Paris stated that allied and
American representatives are safe.
President karolyi, resigning in favor of
soviet-communist coalition government,
declared he was turning Hungary over to
the radicals because the allies are concen /
trating their forces in Hungary to attack
the Russian soviet republic and because
the Hungarians are dissatisfied with the
peace conferences attitude toward fixing
the Hungarian boundaries
The new ministry Immediately wirelessed
Lenine for aid in opposing the allies. He
promised them, 1t was said, to keep in
touch with the military situation.
The question of the barrier which the
the spread of BoIshevism into the former
central powers has come sharply to the
front result of the situation in Hun
gary. where the Bolsheyik elements have
seized power and declared that a state of
war exists between Hungary and the
entente powers.
Premiers of the allied states were called
to meet in special session in Paris at 8
o'clock this afternoon, and it was reported
that important military decisions might be
taken at the meeting of the supreme council
at o'clock regarding the situation in Hun
gary and Poland.
A report thru Switzerland to Paris says
that Karl Kautsky. an independent Social
ist has been sent to Moscow by Count
Won Brockdorff RantZau, the German for
eign minister, to inquire into the question
of closer relations between German and
soviet government. Rioting is reported to
have occurred in Budapest.

within the commission, especially by
the British and French, who have ex-
tensive interests in the Americas. It
could not be learned whether the
president will attempt to force thru
the amendment despite the opposition,
but it was believed he will strongly
advocate its adoption, inasmuch as
it would remove much of the ground
for opposition in the United States.
The Monroe doctrine proposal is held
by some to mark a considerable recess
/ that the covenant would not be al
tered, except in a minor way.
The proposal for changes in the
covenant submitted by Senator King
of Utah has not yet been officially
commented on

amendment providing racial equality

1t may be reserved until the con-
stitution is debated by the plenary
session. Many of the delegates are
understood to favor equality of ma
tons, but not of nationalities.
