sS-DelleS, rFduCe, WHeu JuHkeu dlr-
litical, practically came to an end, and
on Thursday more than 5000 colored
employees Of the packing houses re-
turned to work. AS they walked in, a
large number of white employees laid
down their tools and quit, some of
them because most of the colored
workers are nonunion and others be-
cause they objected to laboring under
police and military protection.
After Bella Kun and his communist
government of Hungary quit and made
way for the Socialists things moved
rapidly in Budapest. The Roumanian
army, which had routed the Hungarian
Red troops, advanced to the city and
occupied it, n Roumania issued an
ultimatum to Hungary which was no
c~ountenanced by the allied peace
ell. Therefore French and American
troops were sen to Budapest and as
sumed control and the Roumanians
were told they must get out. Next the
~ hiiChl was
n its members arrested and Arch
duke Joseph assumed power with the
title of governor of the state. He was
supported by the entente mission in
the city and announced he would form
a coalition cabinet with Stephen
Friedrich as premier. Meanwhile, ac-
cording to a Vienna dispatch, a coun-
ter-revolutionary government at See
gedin offered the Hungarian crown to
King Ferdinand of Roumania and he
was on his way to Budapest. Bella
Kun and his associates took refuge in
Austria and that country may be re-
CURED by the entente powers to hand
them over to the new Hungarian gov
eminent.
The Austrian peace delegates made
their counter-prOposals to the treaty
terms submitted by the allies. These
were unexpectedly mild n the COM
plants of the Austrians are almost
pathetic. They assert hat too much
territory Is taken from their country,
citing especially the Tyrol and south-
ern Bohemia, and say the war debt
loaded on them is so heavy they are

under such conditions.
Japan, through Foreign Minister
Uchida. promises to restore S%hantung
to China on conclusion of arrange
ments with the Picking government to
carry out the pledge given in the
agreement of 1915. President Wilson,
however, now reveals the fact that the
Japanese peace delegates gave SUBJ
stantially the same promise in the in
ter-allied conference of April 80 with
out any reference to the agreement Of
1915. The president believes the JAP
anese statement clears up the doubt
about the Shantung affair. Secretary
of State Lansing told the senate for
eign relations committee that China
a never protested to the president
against the Shantung settlement by
he allied peace council; that the
clause was accepted by the decision of
the president and that he, Mr.. Ian
sing, did not believe 1t was needed to
obtain Japan's adherence to the
League Of Nations.
Among other things, Mr.. Lansing
told the committee that the American
plan for a League of Nations was
never pressed, the present scheme be-
ing better; that the famous fourteen
points were not ever discussed in the
conference; that so far as he. knows
the United States will not accept any
reparation from Germany, and that
the ex-kaiser cannot legally be tried.
The senates of both Spain and Chile
have approved the entry of those ma
lions into the League of Nations, rati-
flying the covenant.
Secretary of War Baker has pre-
scented to the house and senate COM
mittees on military affairs the admin
istration bill for a permanent military
policy. 1t calls for a regular army
with a peace strength Of $4,000 and a
war strength of 1,250,00O, the reserves
to be provided through a modified form
of the selective service act. Included
Is a system of military training of
three months for all eligible youths in
their nineteenth year. This feature
may gain for the bill the support of
the advocates Of universal military
training. though they have been advo-
eating six months training, with voca-
tional and other educational features.
The bill provides that all special SER
vices built up during the war shall be
maintained as separate branches e1-
cept the chemical warfare service,
which shall be merged with the en-
pinears' corDs.
