Budapest, April 11.-(A. P.)-Thc
elections in Hungary for the creation
of the soviet councils passed off with
out reported incidents, soviet organi-
cations being formed in the country
districts by means of this balloting.
The whole process was carried out
under the coercion of the red army,
with the majority of the voters in
many places not appearing to know
why they were voting.
Notwithstanding the desperate
earnestness of the communists, out
siders now in Hungary are still in
clined to take the economic view of
the experiment, which they feel will
not develop into a lasting success. al
though whether conditions will be-
come worse before they grow better
is debatable question.
3D., Curious Tales Told.
Curious tales are told concerning
the new government ministers. who
are SO unaccustomed to performing
official duties that they are ready to
accede to almost any kind of q re-
quest to oblige foreigners and show
good will. Notwithstanding the dras-
tic regulations forbidding the cross
ing OF existing frontiers, q minor Of
hcial of the western Ukraine govern
ment, by simple request 10 the for
elgn office, obtained a pass to cross
the frontiers when and wherever he
pleased without examination of his
baggage.
The work of organizing the country
is being feverishly continued. The
central feature of the plan is to ap-
ply the trust idea To all industries,
each group of factories-tex-
tiles, glassware, hardware, etc.-un-
der one expert, who Is made respon-
slble for its operation.

elusive resorts have been socialized, |

S5,000,000 to make, is being plowed
lp for potatoes.

There is an organization of women
ed guards functioning now, but its
90 members are occupying them
elves for the most part with propa-
anda work. Many of the aristo-

erger, once having property worth
million dollars or more, now is
laying harp in a cheap restaurant
Or her food.

erted into resorts for workingmen's
