Paris.-France and Italy have em-
barked on military operations against
The Bolshevist menace in Central and
Eastern Europe This activity is coin
eidental with the semi-official an
nouncement through Havas dispatch
that no direct news has been received
in Paris regarding the allied missions
al Budapest. 1t is believed that with
the exception of the Czecho-Slovak
mission they are still interned
General Mangin, one of the leading
officers of the French army, will be re-
called from his command at Mayence,
the newspapers announce, TO undertake
q mission, the character and scope of
which lis indicated plainly by the
events in Hungary
Following the report from Vienna by
way Of Berlin and Copenhagen that a
Gzecho-Slovak force had occupied the
Hungarian town of Raab, on the Dam
ube, and taken possession of the gun
foundries there, a Central News dis
patch from Vienna announces that ltal-
ian troops have also entered Raab, and
that another Italian advance force of
1000 men has occupied Pressburg.
Pressburg is fifty miles northwest Of
Raab and thirty-five miles southeast of
Vienna, on the Hungarian side of the
border
a Berlin dispatch to the Paris Temps
says that the Italians occupied Press
burg apparently on the request OF the
Czecho-SIoyaks, or at least after pre-
vious understanding with them.
According to the Gaulois, General
Mangin is to receive a very important
command in eastern Europe, undoubt-
edly the Balkans, with view to possi-
BILE operations on the Hungarian from
tier and southwestern Russia.
General J. NJ. G. MalIeterre, the mill
itary critic, in an article in the Matin
apparently rejecting military opinion
suggests that as a means of checking
the Bolsheviki and rendering definite
the victory of the allies, allied armies
should march through Germany and
effect junction with Poland.
General MaIleterre adds the allies
must finish the job by a thunderstrol<e
and declares the sword of Marshal
Foch is not yet sheathed.
General Mangin is one of the best
offensive leaders produced in the
French army during the war. 1t was
the troops of Mangin's Third Army
who stopped the enemy on the Sois-
sons sector in the critical days after
the beginning of the German offensive
on July Is, and 1t was the French,
American and British troops under his
command who began the allied coun-
teroffensive which ended in the armis-
tice on November IL.
Copies of wireless message sent by
George Tchitcherin, Russian Bolshevik
foreign minister, to various leaders IN
Hungary show his indignation that the
world refuses to accept the Hungarian
revolution as genuine and discredits its
Bolshevik character
The new Hungarian government con-
sists of twenty-four Jews and six
Christians, the Reichspost of Vienna
says. The paper expresses belief the
Magyars will not submit TO such gov
ernment.
The soldiers will get 450 crowns
(S9Ol monthly, and will be equipped
armed and fed at the expense of the
state. Two or more soldiers belonging
to the same family viii get an extra
allowance of fifty crowns ($10) a
month, and those who have dependents
viii get extra pay of 300 crowns ($60)
every six months.
