HUNGARIAN REVOLT
A TEST FOR ALLIES

Boundary Disputes Grow.
President Wilson has been relying on
the promise Of a League OF Nations to
the oppressed people Of Central Europe,
but instead Of preventing these radical
disputes from breaking out into war the
conference seems to Do provoking then,
by discussions over boundaries.
With only eight articles gone over. the
league committee still has an enormous
work before II. but Col. House hopes II
will be finished by Wednesday. Among
the many changes that are being made IL
one reconsttuting the Executive Coun-
ell 80 as TO give II more members and
enabling the neutrals by combining In
groups TO have a membership.
The President has also given great
consideration TO Senator Knox's point
Of differentiation in the covenant pc
tween the high contracting Powers and
the league members. IT Is intimated
now he wants all such differentiation
removed, making 1t solely an agreement
OF members. leaving out the high con-
tracing Powers entirely.
The Presidents attempt TO meet Re-
publican objections has excited comment
in view OF authoritative statements two
weeks ago that there would be no I'm
portant changes In the document.

there must be some sort OF military
unity and they also hold to their con-
tention that American troops must par

against the Bolshev!sts.
