Paris. March 25.-As to nearly
every question that comes up, the
answer of the French to the new
complication caused by the Hun
garian Government collapse is, Send
troops" France still would put n
barrier between Russia and Hungary
to prevent the cooperation of the
Bolshevlki In the two countries.
This may seem like locking the barn
doof after the horse has been stolen,
In view of the fact that Bella Kuhn
and Lenine are in communication, and
II is reported that several thousand
Russians are already passing through
the Carpathians into Hungary un-
hindcred.
Nevertheless French statesmen do
not admit that the case Is helpless
and say that 100000 troops might be
made quickly available to establish
hat much.talked-of barrier from the
Baltic to the Black Sea by co-opera'
ton between Poland and Rumania,
backed by allied support
But while they conducted that their
military plan would be successful as
he only possible solution, the French
have little hope that England and
American will agree with them as TO
my extension of military operations
| anywhere.
President Wilson has been quoted
Is saving in recent conversation
hat it would be as sensible to try
o prevent the air going through n
ieye as to try to check Bolshevism
With troops. Lloyd George cllngs to
he belief that sooner Of later the
Niles must confer with the Bolshe.

inspired by the government with the
dea OF bringing pressure on the I'm
