AMERICANS HOPE
PEACE PACT MAY |
PROCEED ON THAT THEORY, DE.
SPITE ALL EMBARRASSMENT
TENSE SITUATION.

Paris.--Despite embarrassments, the
Americans are proceeding on the the
ory that the peace treaty will be ready
by May |, 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 CAe 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 ia
another problem.

SOVIET CLERKS
TAKE OVER BANKS
RENTS COLLECTED BY JANiToRS.
STORES CLOSED EXCEPT FOR
SALE OF FOODS AND DRUGS.

Vienna.-Following the practice put
into effect by the Russian soviet gov
ernment 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
$100, except in the payment OF sala-
ries. A check must be signed by all
the trustees before it is submitted to
bank, where it is honored on the con,
dition that the trustees of the institu-
tion 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 or
their belongings at the frontier IL they
attempt to pass the border without be-

Members of the wealthy class have

a cousin of Count KarolyL who recent
ly resigned as provisional president OF
Hungary, is quoted as saying:

homeless. We have got to live some

debarked in Sc minutes, and after a
rousing welcome here, left in trains

says. Kalnzem is about 20 miles

A frank avowal that the position oI
the Bolsheviki government had be
come absolutely intolerable was made
at the recent international BolsheviR
conference by M. Lunacharsky, minis
ter of education In the soviet govern
ment, according to a Petrograd dis
patch. The minister is said to have
confessed that 1.-The socialist con
science of the very circles on which
Bolshevism is based is shaken al
present"
Lunacharsky also admitted that tho
worst enemy OF Bolshevism was the
allied economic blockade and he even
went so far as to predict the end OF
the Bolshevik regime If the blockade
continued. He said that owing 10
physical privations from lack of bread,
fuel and raw materials 1t was natural
that wrath should be provoked against
the government and that it should also
be accused Of inefficiency."
