There is not money enough IN tho

ways alone there has been an increase
of i10,415 employees under Federal
operation, The larger number have
less work to do and work shorter
hours to do 1t. The difference in
wages paid Is an increase for one
month Of $77760,601. Taking the en-
largement Ct working force and the
increase of wages together, there is an
increase of costs CT something less

DENY ALLIES AID
RUMkNIAN DRIVE

PARIS, Thursday, May Sit Is
learned on high authority that there
is no foundation for reports that the
entente powers either instigated or
are supporting the Rumanian advance
against Hungary, which was under
taken solely on the initiative of Ru-
mania to forestall projected combined
operations by the Hungarians and
Russians against that country.
1t is understood that the govern
ment Of Bella Kun, in Budapest, en-
tered into intimate relations with
Nikolai Lenine, Bolshevik premier of
Russia, and that the projected Russo
Hungarian attack was delayed only
by the necessity of organizing the
Hungarian red army. Rumania de-
cided to take the offensive against
Hungary the nearest an dleast formid-
able of her enemies, with the object of
securing good defensive line on that
front and occupying lines of commu-
nication between Russia and Hungary
across the Dniester River and in the
eastern Carpathian mountains. The
Rumanian advance was facilitated by
the disorganization of the Hungarian
army, one whole division of five thous-
and men with thirteen guns, surren-
dering in a body to the Rumanians on
April 20.
