Paris, July IA final armed strug-
gle between the allies and the Hun
garian Reds, with Vienna a. the su-
preme objective, was foreseen today.
The allies have reached the definite
conclusion that Central and Southeast
ern Europe is menaced by wave of
Bolshevism. It was declared that un-
less Vienna can be saved from the
Bolshevists and permitted to become
the capital Of a stable government the
peace outlook in Europe will be du-
bious for years to come.
The Bolshevlkl apparently realize
as fully as the peace commissioners
the supreme strategic importance OF
Vienna. Consequently the Hungarian
soviets were reported to be stalking
everything upon II final effort II es-
tnblish soviet republic In Vienna
similar to their own before the pres
ent government succeeds In signing
peace with the allies and placing itself
on Il solid basis.
Should the soviets realize their OBJ
Jcctivc, II was asserted In allied quar-
ters, they would possess In Vienna "a
geographical and political radIating
point from which II would be possible
to extend their Influence In to SlO-
vakin, Italy. Switzerland. Bavaria,
Bohemia and Poland.
According to dispatches from Vienna
and Budapest, allied commissions have
sent special couriers to Paris, asking
the peace conference To adopt immedi-
ately the most drastic measures. Tint
Marshal Foch has begun to collect mil
itary Information already Is known.
Budapest dispatches also Indicated
today that u combined allied offensive
under General d'Esperay was expected
daily.
The Rumanlnn, Czecho- o-Sloyak and
Polish armies. with French and Italian
contIngents, are ready for action. 1t Is
said. Meanwhile. Swiss dispatches
announced the Hungarian Reds were
being reinforced by Russian soviet
troops.
Beln Kun, Hungarian soviet LEADER.
has been warned by the allies that for
eign securities In Budapest must he
respected. The warning was the re-
suit OF nn order confiscating foreign
bonds In Hungary.
Bella Kun sent n note To the allies
denying thnt he WIS violating tho
terms Of the SrmIstlcc. He charged
ihnt the Czecho.Slovaks and the Ru.
mnnlans were the offenders and asked
what action the allies intended to
take.

TAKE OATH ON SACRED BOOKS
Practice In Vogue Today Has Come
Down Through Centuries With
Very Few Changes.

The Christian oath on a copy Of the
Gospel seems derived from the late
Jewish oath taken holding In the hand
the scrool Of the law (or the phylac-
teries). ceremony itself possibly
adapted from the Roman custom. The
usual mode was TO lay the hand on
the Gospel, and II was kept up to
modern date In the oath of the UNI
versity Of Oxford. The practice Of
kissing the book. which became so
well established In England. appears
In the Middle Ages. The book was
often laid on the altar. or (after the
manner Of ancient Rome) the swear
er lnld his hand on the altar Itself or
looked toward It. above all. 1t became
customary to touch the relics of saints
on the altar. Other objects. as the
cross, the bishops croxier. ETC.. were
sworn by. An oath ratified BY con-
tact or inspection Of n sacred object
was called a corporal or bodily oath.
as distinguished from merely spo-
ken or written oath. The English
word signifying the sacred object" on
which the oath Is taken Is ''hnlidome"
The "halidome" on which oaths are
sworn In England Is n copy Of the
New Testament. Jews are sworn on
the Old Testament: the sacred books
Of other religions are used In like
manner. Mohammednn swearing on
the Koran. Hindu on the vedns.
