PAPERS BLAME
PEACE COUNCILS DELAYS

LONDON, March 25.-Morning news
papers unanimously charge the Paris
peace conference with responsibility for
Hungary's embracing Bolshevism and
the general dissatisfaction ove the de-
lay OF peace, but the manner in which
1t has incurred responsibility is various
ly explained.
While treating the Hungarian episode
more lightly than others, because II does
not believe the whole country Will, ini-
tatlng Budapest, become Bolshevik, the
Post accuses the conference OF delaying
peace, while its idealists are following
the will-o'- the-wisp, called the league
OF nations 1t also expresses its beliet
that certain international financial IN
~terests are working against the inde-
pendence of Poland,
The newspapers panacea Is 70 treat
the diplomatic situation as 1t was
treated m~ilitarily when everything was
entrusted to Marshal Foch, and 1t sug-
gests that supreme direction be given
Premier Clemenceau so that probable
failure arising. from divided
may be avoided"
The Chronicle thinks Hungary has
given a healthy shock to public opinion
and that II the council OF ten responds.
1t may prove q blessing in disguise.
II the council Of ten It says, mac
capacity for action, no one need doubt
the result, $50 The allies held al
almost irresistible weapon, namely, food,
but by sheer bungling and by disagree,
ments and procrastinations have bluntec
its edge"
The newspaper maintains the remedy
now Is prompt and combined military
action against the Magyar government
Conferences, delays and a refusal tt
face the Russian problem are directly
responsible for the present dlsquietint
SITUATION says the Mail, While tn
conference talks, the Bolsheviki act
The fruits of immense sacrifices on the
battlefield are being impertled because
the conference cannot attend to tn
business for the dispatch Of which
exists"
The Daily News deduces that thu
league of nations has been an obstacl
to the conclusion Of peace. 1t says.
THE tragic situation Is due to tn
failure OF the allies to provide the cen
trail empires with food and raw ma
terials while the conference has bee
attempting to reconcile the policy o
territorial spoliation with the spirit o
the league OF nations
The newspa also condemns the re
fusal OF the peace conference to recog
nise and make terms with the Russia

DEATHS OF CARS FAMILY

the household.
"A few days following the murder
the bodies were taken under cover or
night by automobiles into nearby VII
lagos, where they were cut into small
pieces and burned separately. The
charred remains were found by officers
Of the forces opposed 10 the B~olshevlki.
Pieces Of the burned clothing also we're
found. Proof that the garments were
those Of the Romanoffs was given by
the fact that the diamonds which the
czarina and her daughters wore In
their waists were picked up.
THE room in which the murder was
committed is now sealed. The plaster
on the walls shows where the rifle
bullets penetrated. The bullets were
removed with bayonet points. Blood
stains have been washed from the
floor. Under the flooring, however,
| little pools Of blood were found. In
|severni places In the death room the
blood seeped through the cracks in the
floor.
Everyone in Russia is now thor,
oughlv convinced the entire Romanofi
household was wiped out by the
Bolshevists. The official reports sent
to France were conclusive.

REVEALS MECHANICAL
CONTROL USED UPON PLANES

according to Mr.. Baker. When the war
ended the invention had been so nearly
perfected that in actual test an air
plane was first sent out under control
OF a pilot without making a landing,
returning to It's point of origin after To-
eating the, distant objective for the test.
Then was sent out under automatic
control another airship to land at the
designated point and it effected the
landing so close to that point that had

sidered a good shot.
