PRAGUE, Monday, Aug. 1.-Large,
but orderly, demonstrations occurred
here today, being led genes'ally by the
Social Democratic element in protest
against the coup d'stat by which Arch
duke Joseph became the head OF the
Hungarian government.
At the beginning of the Rumanian
invasion of Hungary the more conserv-
ative elements Of Czecho-Slovakia
we're insistent that Czech army ad-
vance Immediately into Hungary to
protect Czecho-Slovakian interests
there. Prof T. G. Masaryk president
of CZecho-Slovagia and members or
his ministry opposed such a move
ment, declaring that they desired to
act entirely in coordination with the
great powers and did not wish to en-
barrass them further in the situation
which had arisen because of the Ru-
manian invasion which was In viola
tion of the armistice.
Fears are expressed that he reac-
tionary element in Vienna will soon
join forces with those back Of the
ascendency of Archduke Joseph and
will amalgamate the Austrian and
Hungarian states into an intensely au-
tocratic government which will be-
come the center of autocratic propa-
ganda in central Europe. AS Arch
duke Joseph is a Hapsburg it is hoped
by Czecho-Slovakian officials that the
United States will use it's influence in
preventing the new regime from sue
ceeding. They base their hope on the
fact that a government by any Haps-
burg was one Of the forms of govern
ment denounced by President Wilson
before he would agree to the conclus-
ion Of an armistice. No Czecho Slov-
akian officials believe for a moment
| that Archduke Joseph any more repre-
sents the true sentiment Of the Hun
garian common people than did Bella
Kun. They say that both governments
were based on terrorism and in oppo
sition to the aspirations Of the com
mon people through central Europe
COUNCIL AWAITS REPORT.
PARIS, Monday, Aug. 11.-There is
no indication here that any member
Of the supreme council of the peace
conference desires to have relations
with the Hungarian government set UP
by Archduke Joseph before a report
on the facts relative to its establish
ment has been received from allied
generals. The opinion seems general
in conference circles, however that
Rumania must be required to live uI
to the armistice agreement. Other
wise allied states and worse still. on

disregard the terms Of the peace
treaty.
Nicholas Miau Of the Rumaniar
peace delegation, conferred with M
Benes, one Of the Czecho-Slovakiar
delegates, today, and assured him Ru
mania was taking only such supple:
81 are necessary for her army and ex
poets to account fully to the allies TO-
everything so that reparation claims
may be equitably settled
Little Progress Made
The supreme council has not ye
received a response to the notes sen
to Rumania concerning the occupation
of Budapest and consequently 1t mad
little progress today on the Hungarian
situation.
The members of the council are gen
orally convinced now that the council
note did not reach the Bucharest for
eign office until Saturday and tha
the inferior service speedy reply t.
Paris is unlikely.
The American delegation expressed
the belief today that Brigadier Genera
Harry B. Bandheltz, the American
representative on the Inter-allied mis-
sion to Budapest reached Budapest
Sunday. but as yet no message ha
been received from him.
The Czecho-Slovak note protesting
against Rumania's seizure of supple
belonging to all the allies was cor
sidered by the council today Similia
notes are expected from other small
Balkan allies.
OLD OFFICIALS WORK

decisions of the national assembly, vii
