PAMs, Aug. 4.-Hungary Is agitat-
ing the council again. At the meet
ing to-day II was decided to send i'm
mediately an interallied military
mission to Budapest to look into the
status of the new Government. The
chief function of the mission, how
ever, will be to act ns check against
the victorious Rumanians, whose pres
ence and virtual possession Of the
Magyar capital have been confirmed.
The need for SONG such check ap-
peared to be the outstanding factor
of the Hungarian discussion. Ameri-
can insistency on this point was en-
phatic, the contention being that the
presence Of the Rumanians in Buda-
pest should not only be a guarantee
for order, but that their occupancy
of the city should not give rise to
new complications.
I With the arrival Of the allied mis-
sion the Rumanians probably will be
obliged TO withdraw to the other side
Of the frontier. The mission WIN
also supervise and control the
plebiseite which the new Hungarian
Government was invited to proceed
with in the note adressed to 1t yes
terday by the Council.
The immediate partial relaxation
of the Hungarian blockade was de-
cided upon at to-day's meeting and
1t is expected that this will mean
the gradual restoration of order and
stabilize the present Government.
Await HunEarians' Answer.
Upon the answer which the Peace
Conference Is expecting momentarlly
from the new Hungarian Government
Will depend whether the negotiations Of
an actual peace treaty with Hungary
will begin at once In Paris. With the
Austrian treaty rapidly nearing com.
pletiOn, the Council of Five is anxious
to settle the future state of Hungary
and is not disposed to wait before
entering into negotiations IL 1t sees
any semblance of q desire for order
and sincerity on the part of the new
Peidll Government, the best proof Of
which, according to members of the
Council Of Five, would be immediate
steps toward the disarmament and de-
mobilization Of the Hungarian army.
1t Is apparent from statements
made in American circles, first, that
the Allies have decided to accept the
overthrow of Bella Kun as an indica
| tion of genuine desire to bring
about a new order Of things in Hun
gary, and, second, to give this new
movement every encouragement. Al
the suggestion of the Americans the
Allies note Saturday was couched In
the most moderate and conclliatory
language, greatest stress being laid on
the desire Of the conference to extend
aid to Hungary and to cooperate witt
any Government that was disposed te
observe the armistice and to establish
peace.
! Allied Note Friendly.
This note, which has not been mad,
public yet, was described to-day n,
being of even q more friendly tenol
than the note of the conference which
preceded the downfall Of Bella KuI
and which appears now to have beeI
responsible largely for that develop
ment. In American circles the great
est optimism prevailed to-day, IL
marked contrast with the comment IL
the leading French newspapers, whiel
take a sceptical view of the change II
the Hungarian Government, many o.
them describing It as camouhage
Also they attack the council for halt
ing the Rumanians
Two notes emanated from the Su
preme Council Saturday, one ad
dressed to the new Hungarian Gov
ernment in reply to the letter sent t
the conference by 1t and the other Il
the Rumanlan Government requesting
il to command the Rumanian army Il
stop where 1t was, thirty miles from
Budapest.
There are uncertainty In American
and other circles to-day as to tn
