Home GUARDS
OF GERMANY
ARE RETAINED
Recruits no Longer Requir-
ed to Take Oath to Sup
port Country.

Coblenz, Wednesday. July 3o.-(By
Courier to the Associated Press)-The
plan of Gustav Noske, the German
secretary for military affairs to re-
tain the home guards throughout Ger
many by transferring them to the
civil authorities and calling the guards
local police reserves" is going into
effect, according to information reach
ing the American area of occupation.
In connection with this procedure
the German newspapers are carryir~
advertisements which say that re-
cruits for the home guards no longer
are required to take an oath to de-
fend the country against invasion. In
American circles. it is said, that the
abolition of this pledge obviously is
a result of Noske's new plan, for if
some of the guards were bound by
such an oath they would clearly be
prohibited under the terms Of Article
1T Of the peace treaty. st-
An American army bulletin COM
menting on the change of the, xnard
Ito. police reserves, says: ThiS.Msfhe
first confession that such = pledge
had been taken by the horne guards.
1t confirms suspicion that the home
guards were intended to be a great
reserve army and justifies further sus-
picion Of the home guards under their
new guise Of civil police reserves"

Vienna Aug. 2.-(By the Associat-

Premier Peidll is said by those who
know him to be a courageous man of
simple habits. Te has been a typogra-
pher, an editor and a model worker.
Minister of War Haubrich formerly
was chief of police at Budapest and is
reputed to be an anti-communist.
Minister of Justice Carami and Minis
ter of Education Szabo were in the
karolyi cabinet.
Persons in touch with the situation
at Budapest said it was their UNDER
ministry holding over under the re.
construction were doing SO in order
to save themselves and their support
ers and they possibly would not .re-
main in office long.
! The overturn Of the Bella Kun
regime at Budapest has been impend-
ing for some time. The peace confer
ence. as it made clear in a recent
statement, had found it impossible to
deal with him because~of his failure
to keep armistice agreements, Like
wise. it regarded his rule as not
truly representative of the Hungarian
people.
These facts led the peace confer.
ence. through it's president. Premier
Clemenceau, to issue an appeal July
rs to the Hungarian people to sub
stltute new government for that Of
Bella Kun. pointing out that the lift.
ing OF the blockade. economic recon-
struction and the granting Of peace to
Hungary could only be brought about
with government which represents
the Hungarian people and not with
one that rests Its authority upon ter.
rorism."
