PEACE CONFERENCE BLAMED Rv Associsfed PresS

Paris, Mxrch 25.-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 no specific action regarding Hungary, but the recommendations of the commission clearly foreshadow the dismemberment of old Hungary, with circle of small new states surrounding what remains of the old territory.
 This, while not yet approved by the conference, doubtless reached the Hun sarian leaders and gave impetus to the overthrow of the Karolyi government One of the officials who is taking chief part in the readjustment of territory in that quarter of Europe has explained the situation as follows:
 Bohemia has been detached from the northwest of old Hungary. The adjon- ing country of the Slovaks has been de tached. The Bohenlians are Czechs, 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 ter ritory has also been taken from Hun gary.
 Next to the Ruthenians comes Transyl- vania, which likewise has been detached from old Hungary and given to Runania Next to Pennsylvania comes the Banat region, which has been detached from Austria and given to Rumania. nearly to the Telnes river. the remainder of Banat going to Serbia.
 Further west the new Jugo -Slav state receives that part of old Hungary up to the river Drave. These changes form almost complete circle. leaving new Hungary only compact. center occupy ing the rich Danubian plain.
 All the foregoing recommendations pointed out, were justified by the peo- pie of nationality and self-determina tion as enunciated by President Wilson. The Bohemians, Slovaks. Ruthenians and Translyvanians, as we'll as the inhabi- tants of Banat are racially Slavic or Rumanian and have no ethnological con nection with Hungarians who have held the circle of surrounding territory only through the powerful political influence of the Hungarian Magyars.

WHOLE OF EGYPT IN STATE REVOLT,
 SAYS CHURCHILL Government Appeals to Men on Point of Demobiliza- tion to Return to Save
 Comrades
By A.soci.tss Press

London. March 25.-Defcnding the
 military service bill in the House
 of Commons today. Winston Spen-
 cer Churchill, secretary for war.
 declared that the whole of Egypt
 was in a virtual state of insurrec-
 tion. The position was 50 danger
 oua. he added. that the government
 had to appeal to men on the point
 Of Rehabilitation to return anu
 save their coRrades from being
 murdered.
 This declaration, by the war secre- tary was brought about by the re- marks of Sir Donald MacLean, who had said that Great Britain was grossly overinsured with respect to the strength of the army.
 Mir Churchill asked if he followed what was taking place in almost every country at the present Hnles and if 50, how could he say that there was over- insurance in keeping 100000 men for every purpose. including 10 divisions on the Rhine and four divisions in the home country. less than the number kept here in the peaceful days before the war.
 Only three days ago, continued the secretary. a situation developed ID Egypt which was of very far-reach- ing danger and which made it neces- sary to appeal to the men. who were collected at various ports for demobilj- zation to go back and help their com rades and save them from being mur- dered.
 The whole of Egypt was virtually .n state of insurrection.
 Had Sir Donald read of what was taking place on the Black sea, in Hun gary and on the whole frontier of those small states which were guar anteed protection by the league of na- tions? Sir Donald had said. continued the secretary. that the German army was to be reduced to 100000 men. and that the Germans were to have TO boy scouts. That the speaker as- serted. was what the allies were going to demand. But had the Germa ns agreed to it, and was there any chane. of their agreeing to 1t if the allies di- vested themselves of all their forces at the present time?
 ''The government" said the secre- tary, has to face the real facts. If we sduandered our forces at the pres ent time before our terms are secured. with European conditions of increas- ing gravity and perplexity. then @e should throw away with both hands all the results gained by the sacrifices of millions of our men during four years ,.'f .,. s~ {, .-5 f.,s '.
 The liberal opposition has proposed series of amendments to the military, service bill which Mir.

PLANS FOR ENDING Z. ]. WOODEN SHIP WQ,
 BEING WORKE. <JOT
Reasonable Concessions in Payment of Claims Prom ised and Prompt Settle
 ment Is Assured
By Associated Press

Washington, March 25-Plans for winding up the governments war
 venture in wooden ships were laid
 today at a conference between the
 shipping board and representatives
 of 34 yards in 13 states on the Att Iantic and gulf coasts.
 Reasonable concessions" in payment of claims made for investments in yards, as we'll as for cancelled contracts. were promised by Chairman Hurley, and prompt settlement was assured.
 General Manager Piez of the emer- gency fleet corporation will be given authority tomorrow to close the gov ernment's accOfInts with the builders as soon as the claims are properly certi- fled an dno more contracts for wooden ships will be let.
 With the governments retirement from the wooden ship industry, one of the developments of the national emer- gency virtually will be abandoned, ac- cording to the builders.
 Claims for losses due to the creation, as war measure, of shipyards which now will have o.be scrapped as worth less are expected to aggregate not more than $5,000,000. It has not been pos sible to estimate the amount neces- sary to settle contract claims, because inventories of expenditures for ma terial and labor on ships which will not be completed have not been made A total of more than $100000, 900 in 1 contracts has been cancelled, but in many instances work had not begun, so thet amount. to be paid by the gov ernmei1t will be correspondingly less. Satisfaction with the action of Chair man Hurley and his assistants was ex- pf essed by representatives of the yards, who later at separate meeting dis cussed plans for presenting their claims. Each yard will act independently, as the emergency fleet corporation will pass on each claim on it's merits.
 The shpbuilders were frank in stat ing that the decision of the shipping board to confine it's future construction to steel vessels meant that at least 9s per cent of the facilities for building wooden ships would be useless in the future, A total of 1s3 ways was repre- SCI ted at the meeting, nearly all of which will be abandoned or torn away to per- init the use of the land for manufac- turing and other purposes.
 vessels now on the ways will not be e onipleted, orders having been given to fiIish only the hulls, which probably will be used as barges. According to figures given at the meeting there are TO wood eli ships for which machinery is not available. They will be converted into barges or sailing schooners.
 It was this surplus of wooden hulls which caused some of the builders to assert that the industry was ''cremated' for sometime to come. Wooden ships, the builders said, admittedly cannot com pete with steel vessels in general trade and the demand for barges apparently new is more than met. Possibility Of building for foreign account, which is TOW prohibited, was not discussed at the meeting as an alternative to closing down the yards.

Official Urges That Allies Take q Stand Against BoLsheuisn1|
Paris Dispatches Indicate Grave Apprehension Felt
 Over Situation in Hun- gary-No Official, News
1v Associated Preas

w dSIlluS IOIl, MdlO Ou -c. AeO ports of an increasing serious ness of the situation in Hun gary led to an opinion ex pressed 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 ah official nature was received at the state department during the day, but dispatches from Paris in dicated that grave apprehension was felt there as well as in Washington over the situation.
 Representatives of the United States in 7 Vienna reported today 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 mo ill feeling toward Americans or British in Buda- pest, but 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 neu- tral zones between Czecho- -Slovakia and Austria Rumania and Hungary. It IS believed here that it is probable that the French members of the inter-alled mission in Budapest have been informed, as has been reported in news dispatches from Vienna. but doubt was expressed as to the inclusion of Americas or British in the internment order.
 MAY SEIZE NAVY
 It was said by officials that if the Hungarians actually have declared war upon the entente powers, as was threat ened in state department advices made public yesterday, it would be natural move for the Hungarians to attempt 10 reach the Adriatic and recover a por- ton of the Austrian navy HOW in the hands of the Jugo-Slavs. Hungarian leaders it was said. undoubtedly would recognize the advantage to be gained by striking immediately toward the Adri- atic before the authorities in Paris had time to act.
 The question as to whether Hungary's acceptance of bolshevism had it's inspi-' ration from German sources is considered doubtful by state department officials, although it was said that it would be an experiment. of great interest to Germany as it would at once put the allies to the test as to their attitude toward bolshe- visnn.
 Advices to the department indicated that the peasantry of Hungary thus far had not accepted the new regime to any great extent but it was pointed out that in no case has bolshevism got it's start by a general rising of the proetariat. Rather it has been started by small clique of officials and gradually has spread and been instiled into the minds of the proletariat Such was the case Tn Russia it was said, and undoubtedly is the way which the disease" as it was called by one official today, may spread throughout Hungary.
