death. They are mostly the names
OF those who were injured beyond
recognition when they gave their
lives for their country.

new REGIME IN.
HUNGARY Al ARMS
ALLIED P0 " ERS
Time Has Come to Take Stand
Against Belshevism Is 0pin-
ion Expressed at U. S.
State Department.

Washington, March -25.-Repofts
of increasing seriousness of the sit
uation in Hungary led to all opinion
expressed today by an official of the
State department. that "the time had
come for the allied nations repre-
sented at Paris to take definite and
firm stand against bolshevism.'
Little .sws of an official nature was
received at the State department
during the day, but dispatches from
Paris indicated that grave appre-
hension was felt there as we'll as in
Washington over the situation.
Representatives of the United
States in Vienna, reported today that
tile food administration had one or
two agents in Budapest and it was
stated that there might be other
Americans there.
Hostile to French.
Fhese advices said there was no
i4-feeling toward Americans or
British in Budapest but a strong
feeling of hostility was being mani
tested against the French. This, it
is believed, is due to the occupation
by French troops of the~neutral
zone between Czecho-S -Slovakia and
Hungary and Roumania and Hun
gary. .-s
1t is believed here that probably
the French members of the inter-
allied mission in Budapest have been
iaterned, as has been reported in
news dispatches from Vienna, but
doubt was expressed as to the ii1-
clusion of Americans or British in
| the interment order.
1t was said by officials that if the
Hungarians actually have declared
war upon the entente powers as was
threatened in State department ad-
vices made public yesterday, it would
be natural move for the Hungarians
to attempt to reach the Adriatic and
recover a portion of the Austrian
navy now in the hands of the Jugo-
Slavs. Hungarian leaders, it was
said, undoubtedly would recognize
the advantage to be gained by strik-
ing imne diately toward the Adriatic
| before the authorities in Paris had
time to act.
Tests Allies Attitude.
The question as to whether Hun
gafy's acceptance of bolshevism had
its inspiration from German sources
is considered doubtful by State de-
partment officials, although it was
said that it would be an experiment
| of great interest to Germany as it
would at once put the allies to the
test as to their attitude toward boil
| shevism.
Advices to the department indi-
Gated that the peasantry of Hungary
thus far had not accepted the new
regime to any great extent but it
was pointed out that in no case has
bolshevism got its start by a gen.
eral rising of the proletariat. Rather
it has been started by a small clique
of officials and gradually has spread
and been instilled into the minds of
the proletariat. Such was the case
in Russia, it was, said. and undoubt-
edly is the way in which the dis
ease" as it was called by one official
today, may spread throughout Hun

ALL OF EGYPT IN "
INSUR RECTlON,
SAYS CHURCHILL
Government Appeals to Men
Being Demobilized to y
Save Their Comrades.

London, March 25.-Defending
the military service bill in the house
of commons today Winston Spencer
Churchill, secretary for war, de-
clared that the whole of Egypt was
in a virtual state of insurrection. The
position was so dangerous, he
added, that the government had to
appeal to men on the point of de-
mobilization to return and save
their comrades from being MUIR
dered.
This declaration by the war Sec
retary was brought about by the re-
marks of Sir Donald MacLean, who
had said that Great Britain was
grossly over-insured with respect to
the strength of the army.
Would Keep 100000 Men.
Mr.. Churchill asked if he followed
what was taking place in almost
every country at the present time
and, if so, how could he say that
there was over-insurance in keeping
100000 men for every purpose, pl-
Guiding 10 divisions on the Rhiiie
and four divisions in the home coun-
try, less than the number kept here
in the peaceful days before the war.
>Had Sir Donald read of what was
taking place on the Black sea, in
Hungary and on the whole frontier
of those small states which were
guaranteed protection by the league
of nations? Sir Donald had said,
continued the secretary, that the
German army was to be reduced to
100000 men and that the Germans
were to have no boy scouts.
That, the speaker asserted, was
what the allies were going to de-
mand. But had the Germans agreed
to it,>was there any chance of their
agreeing to it, if the allies divested
themselves of all their forces at the
present time?
Fruits of Victory at Stake.
THE government" said the sec
retary, has to face the real facts.
If we squandered our forces at the
present time before our terms are
secured, with European conditions
of increasing gravity and perplexity
then we should throw away with
both hands all the results gained by
the sacrifices of millions of Our men
during four years"
