ARMISTICE TERMS

fBy Leased Wire 70 New MexIcan.l
Paris, Aug. 6.@The Rumanians
have served an ultimatum on the Hun
garian government, according to mes
sages reaching the peace conference.
The ultimatum, it is stated, makes de
mands far in excess OF the armistice
terms and gave the Hungarians until
S a. m. August 5 to comply with them.
1t is greatly feared that the Ruma-
MAN action will result in the over
throw OF the new Hungarian govern
ment. French circles state that the
Rumanian army is not under the COM
mand of Marshal Foch, the allied com
mander in chief, the Rumanian gen
eral refusing to accept orders from
from the French. The Rumanians
have not been actively participating
III the peace conference since Premier
Bratino some time ago took exception
to the decision OF the conference upon
the principle guaranteeing the rights
OF minorities within national borders
In their ultimatum, the Rumanians
demand the reduction Of the Hun
garian army to $4,000 men and the sur
render Of 80 per cent Of the harvest
animals and farm machinery and 80
per cent Of the railway supplies.
The ultimntum also demands a large
proportion OF the Danube shipping and
equipment and supplies for an army
OF 300. 900 men, together with r~ations
for the Rumanian forces pending a
peace settlement.

The commissions report covers the

To show that the packers have
made unwarranted increases in the
price Of packer hides, the report
pointed out that the price ~differential
between their hides and country
hides-hides Of a lower grade-has in
creased 'far beyond the usual proper
ton"
