Bolshevism a Menace

WASHINGTON. March 25.-Reports Of an increasing seriousness of the situation in Hungary led to an opinion expressed today by an official of the state department, that the time had come for the allied nations, represented at Paris. to take a definite and firm stand against bolshevism."
 Little news of an official nature was received at the state department dur ing the day, but dispatches from Paris indicated that grave apprehension was felt there. as well as in Washington. over the situation.
 Representatives of the United States ln Vienna reported that the food ad- ministration had one or two agents in Budapest and it was stated that there might be other Americans there. These advices said there was no i'll feeling to- ward Americans or British in Buda- pest, but a strong feeling of hostility was being manifested against the French. This it is believed here is due to the occupation by French troops of the neutral zones between Czecho- Slovakia and Hungary and Rumania and Hungary. It is believed here that probably the French members of the | inter-allied mission in Budapest have i been interned, as has been reported in newspaper dispatches from Vienna. but 1 doubt was expressed as to the inclu- Sion of Americans or the British in the | internment order
 Would Take Ships First
 It was said by officials that if the i Hungarians actually have declared war upon the entente powers. as was threatened in state department ad l. vices made public yesterday. it would be a natural move for the Hungarians to attempt to reach the Adriatic and recover a portion of the Austrian navy now in the hands of the Jugo- SlaTf | Hungarian leaders, it was said, [ a- doubtedly would recognize the ad.an- tage to be gained by striking iinme- diately toward the Adriatic before the authorities in Paris had time to act.
 The, question as to whether Hun- garys acceptance of bolshevism had it's inspiration from German sources is considered doubtful by state depart ment officials, although it was said il would be an experiment of great in terest to Germany, as it would at once put the allies to the test as to theil
 attitude toword bolshevism.
 Advices to the department indicated that the peasantry of Hungary thu. far had not accepted the new regim, to any great extent but it was pointed out that in no case has bolshevism go it's start by a general rising of th'
 proletariat Rather, it has been starte,
 by a small clique of officials and grad
 ually has spread and been instflled int
 the minds of the proletariat. Such wa
 the case in Russia, it was said, and un ' doubtedly is the way in which th

NEW YORK, March 25,-Victorious veterans, heroes of Flanders fields, on which Prussian pride was broken, 26,- 900 men of the 27th division came back to Fifth avenue today for their triumphal review To the thousands who offered all they have to give on liberty's altar, the millions who stayed behind poured out the full measure of their pride. The national guardsmen of yesterday and the civilians of to- morrow symbolized today the martial ideals of a red blooded race.

Began Last Saturday

The feature of the oil trouble in volved in the circular order issued in Mexico City last Saturday. is said to date back to January. 1915. when Car ranZa was first chief, and was beset with enemies on every side At that time he decreed that all development work should stop immediately and that no new work should be undertak- en without permission. Representa- tives of the British, French and Ameri- can oil companies protested against this order, but were assured by Car ranZa government officials and the diplomatic representative of the United States in Vera Cruz, that the sole purpose of this decree was to exer- else the proper police power of the state and to prevent unsafe drillins and building operations. Upon this as surance. the oil men of the three countries agreed to seek permission for development work, although it was pointed out here today, they had by 1 this action bound themselves to ask for licenses or permits to do what they had a perfect right to do with out permits, because of their property rights.
 In 1917. whsn the new constitution was put into effect the Mexican gov ernment began to refuse permits for such work, according to authoritative | information. An American company was refused a permit for such work in December 1917, on the ground that it was a foreign corporation and had no right to receive concessions to de- velop oil. This was the first open aI- tempt by the Mexican government tc establish the government ownershir of all mineral deposits as defined bS the new constitution. On the com panys protest that this rulinf abridged its legal rights, the Mexican

]. 5. WILL SOON BE
 FINANCING EXPORT
 TRADE F0R EUROPE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. March 25- The governments billion dollar fund for financing foreign trade soon will be opened to American exporters through loan from the war finance corpora tion. Regulations now being prepared by the corporation to cover advances will provide for the lending of sums to any individual firm. corporation or export association, probably at 5$4 per cent. for a maximum of five years, on adequate collateral.
 Reports indicate that exporters are planning to make extensive use of the governments foreign trade fund as soon as the regulations are completed and the corporation is ready to accept formal applications.
 This is caused by three principal in fluences.
 First, European countries which will need great quantities of American ma terials during the next year or two for reconstruction and to make up for lack of constructive enterprises in the war, have neither the gold nor the credits to pay for their purchases in this country, and their inability will be increased when. at the end of the war, the United States government stops making loans to the allies.
 Must Sell on Credit
 Second, foreign exchange rates, fol- lowing removal of artificial govern mental influences by Great Britain, France. Italy and the United States last week, have produced a situation in which American goods would cost | foreign purchasers more than their ! Va inQ in Hn1lare a fhic if f,14r chasers were forced to pay cash. As a result, American exporters must sell on credit, if they are to sell in the quantities needed abroad. and the war 1 finance corporation's fund will provide | a means of poiing these export credits under government supervision.
 Third, American banks have not 1 been accustomed to financing export l transactions and cannot legally ad- vance as large sums as may be needed to finance large export operations ! Nor can they ordinarily make ad vances for more than 90 days. wherea. for most foreign trade transactions, { year or IS months are needed or credits.
 It is the last condition which ha. driven export organizations to the wa finance corporation, since the law pro vides that the corporation may mak, loans direct to exporters only if loan cannot be obtained through regula banking channels at reasonable terms
 Eighty export organizations. consist ing of groups of manufacturers, hav notified the federal trade commission of their intention to operate unde provisions of the Webb act

HUNGAR|ANSLAY
 CAUSE IF UPSET ON PARIS ACTION
DiSmemberment of Country Claimed Territories On All Sides Taken from Them Wilson Theory of Self Determination Given As Original Reason

PARIS. March 25.-(By the Asso- ciated Press).-The proclamation of the Hungarian revolutionists declares that the action of the peace conference is one of the chief causes of the unrest. Thus far the conference has taken m specific action regarding Hungary, bur the recommendation of the commits sion clearly foreshadow the dismem- berment of old Hungary. with a eircls of small new states surrounding what remains of the old territory.
 This. while not vet approached by the conference. doubtless reached the Hungarian leaders and gave impetus to the overthrow of the Karolyi gov ernment
 One of the officials who is taking d chef part in the readjustment of ter ritory in that quarter of Europe, has explained the situation as follows:
 Bohemia has been detached from the northwest of old Hungary. Tho adjoining country of the Slovaks has also been detached. The Bohemians are Czech and, with the Slovaks, form the new Czecho- Slovak nation. both parts being detached from Hungary The Ruthenians form the wedge next to the Slovaks, and this territory has also been taken from Hungary.
 We'll Divided Up Next to the Ruthenans comes Pennsylvania, which likewise has been detached from old Hungary, and given to Rumania- Next to TransylVani.l 1 comes the Banat region. which has been detached from Austria and given to- Rumania. nearly to the Temes river 1 the remainder of Banat going to Serbia. Further west, the new Juga- Slar state receives that part of old Hun | gary up to the river Drave. Thesa 1 changes form an almost complete cir ] cle, leaving new Hungary only a com pact center occupying the rich Danu l bian plain.
 All the foregoing recommendations, it is pointed out, were justified by the l principle of nationality and self-de- termination as enunciated by President l Wilson. The Bohemians, SIovaks. Ruthenians and Transylvanians. as we'll as the inhabitants of Banat, are racially Slavis or Rumanian. and have
 no ethnoligical connection with the Hungarians, who have held the circle of surrounding territory only through the powerful political influence of the
 Hungarian Magyars."

Terms Not Defined

Subsequent decrees were announced Each intended to put into effect ar ticle 27 of the Mexican constitution, which the governments of Great Brit ain, France and the United States have declared "confiscatory." Since August F, 1918, permits have been re- fused to companies which have not filed manifestations or entered into contracts with the Mexican govern ment, the terms of which conditions have not yet been defined. As a re- suit, drilling operations, building of pipe lines and other development work has been stopped.
 One American company immediately began a contest of the constitution ality of this law by a suit of amparo, brought when the company was re- fused permission to drill an oil well. The Mexican government in this suit. gave as one reason for refusing the permit, that the company was a for eign corporation and as such could re- ceive no concession to develop pe- troleum in Mexico. The point made by the three governments interested has been consistently that the com panies did not need permits to oper- ate, because they had acquired their lands in good faith by purchase or lease in accordance with the existing laws of Mexico.
 Whether any action will be taken | by this government in the present case, has not yet been decided, it was said today but the feeling prevails 1T official circles that this order of the department of industry in Mexico City is a means of forcing the companies to accept the confiscatory features O decrees which have been the subjec of protests by this country, Grea | Britain and France

All Egypt. Embroiled

The whole of Egypt was virtually in a state of insurection.
 Had Sir Donald read of what was taking place from the Black sea in Hungary, and in the whole frontier Of those small states, which were guar anteed protection by the league of na- tions? Sir Donald said, continued the secretary, that the German army was to be reduced to 100,0 900 men and that the Germans were to have no boy scouts. That, the speaker asserted, was what the allies were going to de- mand But had the Germans agreed to it, was there any chance of their agreeing to it, if the allies divested themselves of all their forces at the present time?
 "The government said the secretary, has to face the real facts. If We squandered our forces at the present time, before our terms are secured, with European conditions of increasing gravity and the greatest perpleXity. then we should throw away with both hands all the results gained by the sacrifices of millions of our men dur ing four years"

Opposition Would Wreck

The liberal opposition had proposed a series of amendments to the military service bill, which MT. Churchill de- clared were intended to wreck the bill. There was no truth in the accusation that the government had not tried the voluntary system. The government had tried and would try every means under the voluntary system.
 Objection was taken to men being invited to re-enlist for as long as two, three or four years. But unless men were secured for those periods. It would be impossible to relieve terri torial and other troops In India and elsewhere who ought to have effective relief He thoroughly agreed that the government must do everything pos sible to recreate voluntary army at the earliest possible mpment.

Fighting Jack" O'Ryan. who led the line, was the only major general of the national guard who took his men to France and brought them back, still their comander Never be- fore on this continent, at least, had so many thousands cheered a military spectacle.
 { Even New York, famed for its crowds, never had mobilized so many men. women, and children along . single street To the city dwellers were added hundreds of thousands who had poured in from every corner of the state. Tens of thousands more had come from other states.
 The police estimated more than S,00O,000 persons were packed into five miles of Fifth avenue in the sunshine of a perfect day. The sidewalks on both sides were choked with humanity and at every intersecting street the crowd bulged out east and west for a distance of block. Every open space was packed with an immovable mass of humanity.
 Stretching along the east side of Central Park, from one end to the other, was grand stand 21s miles long. In it were some 60,0O0 relatives of the 27th The other 15,000 seats were filled with wounded soldiers from the army hospitals, federal off cials, governors of this and other states. members of the legislature, mayors and official delegations from I'D state cities.

Sewers silken Cord

Just below the arch of victory which spans the avenue at Madison Square, the procession was halted by spectators who plunged into the street. It was with difficulty that the police formed a way for the troops to pass in column of squads.
 As the head of the division went past the pylons of a Roman forum leading up to the arch, Sergeant Reidar Waaler of the 105th machine gun bat talion. decorated with the congress sional medal of honor and the dis tinguished service cross, severed with a trench knife the silken cord which barred the way and the vanguard of the division passed through.
 Under the arch the division moved on through d narrow lane between the milling crowds to the court of the vic torious dead, at the public library. The roll of honor and the records of their heroic deeds were in the center of a cluster of trees surmounted by crossed spears and golden eagles, from which hung golden shields emblazoned with the divisional insignia.
 Before the caisson. 'memoralzing the dead. the parade was halted. Eight men, allWearing the distinguished ser vice cross. who had been leading the | horses, lifted the wreath of the 27th | off the catafalque and laid it reverently at the foot of the honor roll.

 The great volley of cheers became continuous roar as the head of the line came into sight of the stands Back of the doughboys came the divisional machine gun corps They were the men whose orders were in the face of an impending drive: If the gun teams main dead Should any man. through i shell shock or other cause, attempt to surrender, he will remain here-dead'

TRUCKS CANNOT
REACH HEIGHTS
Snowdrifts Make 1t Impossible
for Fire Department to
Reach East End.

Bv making experiments Saturday
morning. Fire Chief A. J. Trodick dis
covered that it would be impossible to
answer an alarm in Boston Heights with
the trucks so long as present street con-
ditions continue. The chief tried to force
his machine through drifts on all ave-
nues leading to the Heights. but at every
attempt the snow banked up in front OF
his machine until he was compelled to
abandon the effort. Several times he
extricated his car only by shoveling n
path out of the drifts into which he had
forced il.
The chief notified property owners in
the Heights after returning to the sta
ton that it would be impossible to reach
that section Of the city in case of a fire
and that extra precautions should be
observed to reduce the fire hazard.
The possibility of opening an avenue
through to the east end of the city was
considered, but with the high wind that
prevailed during the greater portion OF
the day it was thought that the work OF
gang of shovelmen would be almost in
stantly obliterated When the wind sub
sides, or when crust forms on the
snow, road will be opened, but until
this can be done the Heights Will be
without fire protection.
