BOLSHEVIKI WORKING
AMONG THE NEGROES
But Attorney-General Sees No
Connection With Rioting.
Special Desputch 10 TuE sux.

WAsHINaroN, July 30.--Bolshevism Is
not behind the race rioting that has
terrorized Washington and Chicago. In
the opinion OF Attorney-General Palmer.
The Attorney-General said to-day.
however that Bolshevik propaganda was
being spread among the negroes of the
South and that efforts had been made
to agitate and incite them against the
Government and law and order These
efforts. the Attorney-General believes,
have failed, because the negroes as a
race have shown no great susceptibility
to the Establishments OF the propRgan-
dists who sought TO plunge them into
terror and suffering.
Propaganda work among the negroes
has not been confined to the South but
the Attorney-General is convinced from
reports that no has received from
trained investigators that the race
riots have been due in every instance
purely to local Incidents
The Department OF Justice has been
watching the situation in this regard
throughout the country. and at present
the Attorney-General sees no need for
Federal action, though negro agitators
who would add fuel to the flames Of
race war and race hatred are being
closely watched.
The propaganda that has been put
out is regarded as more dangerous in
the Northern cities than It Is in the
South. In Washington and Chicago the
agitators came upon the heels and not
at the forefront of race disturbance.
Officials regard the situation as with
out danger from a national standpoint.

DISRUPTS HIS ARMY
Men Are in Mutiny and Most
of Guns Lost.

BERLIN. July so.--The Taoeblatfs
Budapest correspondent has smugsled
through the censorship OF Bella Kun
what he says are the details of the
defeat and ignominious flight Of the
Hungarian red army--a defeat which
no said lied Bella Kun to hasten to
Vienna to treat with the Entente re-
gardlng a retirement"
The Red offensive against Rumania.
the correspondent writes, was inspired
by Bella Kun. He hoped to detract the
attention Of the troops from the miser-
able food conditions In Budapest and Its
vicinity by sending them against
Rumania inta last vague hope that they
would succeed and by victory find them
selves in a more prosperous country.
There had been countless desertions.

The commander Of the army had gone
over to the Karolyi forces and command
was placed in the hands of the General
Stan, Col Juliec, who declared that he
>cas no Bolshevist, out was taking
command because ne was forced to do
so. The situation therefore was I'M
favorable.
At the start the Rumanians were
caught by surprise and forced back over
the Thelss River, but they soon recov-
cred and came back with such strength
that the Red army simply melted away
and fed back over the Thesis. hundreds
of its men being drowned in the river
by Rumanian cavalry patrols.
The fifth day of the offensive, says
the correspondent, saw the entire Red
army in Wild flight, having suffered
enormous losses.
bella Kun" the correspondent adds,
sent the army against the Rumanians
to avoid a crisis which is now the worse
because in their defeat the troops have
mutinied and deserted to such an ex-
tent that the army consists only of four
divisions and fourteen batteries, most OF
the guns having been lost in the re-
treat"

PARIS, July S0.--while the Peace
Conference still 10 discussing and de-
libersting over the terms OF the treaty
with Bulgaria and the ENJOYS from
Soma are at st. Ger1nain waiting to see
the document. conditions in Bulgaria, ac-
cording to advices reaching here. have
become very serious. Bolshevlsm is
said to be spreading in Bulgaria, several

In the larger towns accompanied by dis
orders and considerable bloodshed, and
a general revolution is expected momen-
tarily A widespread movement to es-
tablish Soviet republic is reported and
many strikes already have begun, in
GLIDING one on the Bulgarian railway.
The Bulgarian treaty was taken up
again to-day by the Peace Conference,
and the terms are said to be virtually
complete now. except as to the delim-
itation Of the boundaries of Bulgaria,
as the economic clauses have been ap-
proved. 1t Is the boundary question,
however, which Ia most likely to cause
trouble. A note was sent this afternoon
by the Bulgarian delegation to the
Peace. Conference: It was volumlnous
document claiming Macedonia, the Do
brudja and Thrace as Bulgarian terri
tory. insisting that these districts must
be given TO her.
In Sofia there Is much uncertainty
and uneasiness in regard to tho outcome
of the mission to Paris. There is a
belief that the United States and Great
Britain are friendly to Bulgaria, but
this is expressed with less certainty than
formerly. Dislike OF the French Is
shown very clearly, possibly on account
Of the presence OF French colonial
troops in Sofia.
The Bulgarian peasants are reaping
what will probably be the largest grain
harvest in years. Sofia Itself seems
quite alive. the presence of many OFF,
GERS OF the allied armies adding to the
effect Of liveliness. Food Is available in
plenty at prices which are high. but not
to a greater degree than in Belgrade or
Bucharest. The Bulgarian lev (of nor
NAL value about 20 cents) is taken in
exchange at the rate of four for one
French franc. The streets Of the city
are clean at present, the parks are well
kept and the various public institutions

In addition to the two bills now pend

certain Republican Senators regard as

been made In the House looking to the
repeal Of the luxury taxes. as well as
certain OF the excise taxes, especially
those relating to imposts on candy,
sporting goods and furs. Senate leaders,
II Is understood, feel that the question
as to how far Congress is TO go In this
matter should be determined at once.
Many Senators feel that II one section
of the bill Is reopened there Is nothing
that would prevent notifications of
other provisions being taken UP. which.
as one Senator said to-day. would bring

Owing to the House recess Saturday
for more than a month members of the
Senate committee said tonight the COM
mittee would take no final action upon
the soda water ard fruit Juice tax bills
before September ut least
The committee Is expected also to dis
cuss tomorrow the question of tariff
legislation to some extent. although
Senate Republican leaders believe 1t
would be unwise to take any action along
those lines at this time owing to abb
normal business conditions. They also
doubt whether any such legislation could
be enacted at the present extraordinary
