HAPSBURG OUT

Paris Diplomats.
"ONLY A CLUB WILL DO"
The UItimatum Demanding the Resig-
nation of Arohduke JossPh Fol-
lows at Once.

Paris, Aug. 25.-Herbert Moover's
denunciation of the Hapsburs conspi-
racy to regain rule over AHasria and
Hungary has achieved its o0ysct.
Dispatches from Budapest an
nounce that the Archduke Joseph and
the cabinet of Premier FriesIrich. of
Hungary, have resigned.
Refusal Of the peace conference to
recognize the archduke or afsy other
Hapsburg, dispatches from budapest
say, led to the downfall OF the new
regime.
Hoover appeared before the allied
council in Paris on Thursday and de-
livered a fiery speech demanding ac-
ton to stop the plot of the former
ruling family to again set up q throne.
The council was fully aware OF the
situation, but Hoover's BIAS hasten
ed action. On Friday note vas sent
to the new Hungarian goyefnment
demanding that it step down. The
cabinet resigned Saturday.
Unsettled conditions in Austria, it
is said, had led the Hapsburgs to be-
lieve that they could set up gov
ernment in Austria If they could re-
tain control of Hungary.
The correspondent gives additional
details Of Hoover's remarks as made
to the correspondents and also to the
allied council Of five.
"The time of pussy-footing and
gentle diplomatic notes has PASSED"
ne declared. Nothing but cllb will
accomplish results in this situation.
Neither the Bolshevih nor the Haps-
burgers are necessary, If we haEe any
sense of direct action In crisis. 1t
is just as much against the Bolshe-
Wiki as against the Hapsburgs.
'The Rumanian army had Its guns
trained on the building where the
Peidil ministry was meeting When it
was forced to resign and new gov
ernment was formed. 1t is notiin any
sense a popular government
II consider that the American army
fought in vain if the Hapsbuigs are
permitted to retain power
In passing on RumaniH; 8 assion it
must be borne in mind IL slse suf-
fered more In war, pel1IaII s, fFisssz stiiy
other country, with the exception of
Belgium, and is nerve-rac cked Com
sequently, she is only getting revenge
in taking the material stolen from her.,
But we made an armistice last No
vember to avoid such revenge, and
the signatories must live up to it.
Then it must also be borne in mind
that Rumania needs neither medical
supplies nor food. while Hungary
does, and children are dying in the
Budapest hospitals because they are
deprived of food and medicine"
Air, Hoover said there was no rea
son why 10000 Rumanians should re-
main in Hungary when 1000 could
keep order, as the Hungarians had
been disarmed. He declared that
there are many moderate men, like
Garomi, who can form a popular gov
ernment in Hungary, if given a
chance. The Peidil government, he
went ON, was composed chiefly of ex-
tremists, but was preparing to take
more moderate men into the ministry
when forced out by Rumanian bayo-
nets.
If Archduke Joseph were permitted
to retain his position, Mr.. Hoover
said, it was inevitable that the Haps-
burgs will make a similar movement
in Vienna. He added that Lenine and
Trotsky were already issuing leaflets
throughout Russia, declaring that the
entente powers were behind Archduke
Joseph and would next try to give
Russia czar.
