NUMBER 4I
DISTURBING NEWS FROM HUNGARY,

mere Is no minimizing the alarm
which Is felt in Washington over the
possibility that the surrender of Hun
gary to Bolshevik madness NAV be
the beginning Of general proletariat
upneaval throughout Central Europe.
an upheaval which not ONLY means
a renewal of hostilities on large
scale but which would threaten the
tranquility Of France and Great Rri-
tain themselves.
II IS Just such an eventuality which
has disturbed the minds of American
ana entente statesmen for months.
Iney nave realized that revolution
might sweep over Hungary, Austria
ana Germany at any hour and that if
these countries were seized by the
Soviet, there would be an Immediate
move toward a union with the Boil
shevist regime in Russia. This would
mean that the new nations OF Poland.
Czecho-Slovakia and Ukraine would
be caught between the two forces ana
nave to fight for their lives, whnt-
ever pe1eh the powers Of Southern
Europe.
moreover, Germans have been
warning the Allied government al
most from the signing of the armis-
Ice that tais danger threatened.
They have contended day in and day
CUT that their own Government was
beset by Bolshevist Influences: that
fhe Spartacan uprising was Intimately
akin to that which overthrew Ker-
ensky In Russia; that they must have
tood at once If they were to hold the
cut-throat element in control and that
II peace which would destroy Ger
many were imposed upon her, there
would be no means Of resisting the
German proletariat.
Bolshevik army Of 10000 men
has crossed the Riven Dniester south
OF Lemberg. according to Zurick
dispatch received in Paris and for
warded by the Exchange Telegraph
Company. The army is said to be
commanded by Major Georgy and is
composed mainly of Hungarians and
Bulgarians, who were prisoners of
war in Russia.
Hungary's adoption of Bolshevism
Is regarded most seriously by the
Anglo-French press, chiefly as endan-
gering the efforts Of the Entente to-
build up the Roumanian. Polish and
Czecho-Slovak States as bulwarks of
central Europe. All these three
states are menaced by advancing Boil
shevik armies.

Mr.. er:soRY's view.

Thomas w. Gregory, former At
torny General of the United Stats.
VINO is advising the Peace Confer
ence Commission on the League of
Nations with reference to legal phas-
es OF amendments which have been
proposed to the covenant, takes the
view that it is not necessary to in
lrouuce specific amendment affirm
ing the Monroe Doctrine.
He holds that the doctrine is suffi-
clently protected by the instrument
as 1t stands, but as a matter of ex-
pedlency he sees no objection to in
Producing a general proviso which
would safeguard the doctrine without
specially mentioning it, as a speci-
nc mention would cause controversy
over the specific wants OF various
states.
Such proviso has been drawn, but
1t is not yet known whether its in
corporation in the covenant will be
urged. It affirms in substance that
coercive measures Of the united DOW
ers as,provided by the covenant shall
not operate against nations Of the
Western Hemisphere unless the Uni
ted States and other western coun-
tries shall approve. It is held this
would give the United States and
the western republics the final word
on applying collective force against
nations on that hemisphere, and this,
In effect, reaffirms the Monroe Doc
trine.
Going beyond this general declara-
tlon' in the view Of Mr.. Gregory and
otners legal experts. would introduce
VIDE controversy on an interpreta-
tlon Of the meaning of the Monroe
Doctrine. 1t is expected that consid-
Grafton Of this and other amend
ments will be continued several DAYS
before final decision is reached.

DIRISIBLE SETS RECORD.

The first account now Is officially
published of remarkable long dis
tance flight over the North Sea, which

few days. The voyage took the form
of circuit, embracing the coast Of
Denmark, Schleswig-Holstein, Helgo-
land, North Germany and Holland.
The trip was characterized by OK

The total length Of the round trip
was 1885 air miles, and the time
taken was about 40k hours.
