OF the soviet government began an ex-
odus back to Budapest, seeking to re-
gain possession of what property of
theirs they can find.
All that is now left of the Soviet is
the Soldiers and Laborers' Council.
Exchange rates improved here to-day,
and the customary scramble for the pur-
chase OF foreign money, which had be-
come very marked recently, became less
noticeable.
The newspapers commented upon the
downfall of the Soviet as certain to
have a good moral effect on business

formation by the Allies of a Danube
federation, to include both Austria and
Hungary.

have been weakening for the last
month.
In proclamation addressed "to all
countries made public the day before
his downfall, Bella Kun protested
against the Allied economic blockade
and insisted that the Allies and not
the Hungarians broke the terms Of the
armistice. The proclamation added:
I'VE shall persist in our revolution

exchange our liberation from exploita-

We are convinced the Entente will not
attain its aim, and that the workers
