inunist party. This was later merged
with the Socialist party.
The Russian Soviet government was
deeply interested in the Hungarian
Red regime, and frequent communica-
tion took place between Bella Kun and
Lenine and the lesser Russian Boil
shevik officials.
General Jan Christian SHUTS was
sent in April to investigate conditions
in Hungary for the peace conference
An attempt was made by Bella Kun to
interpret the advent of this mission as
indication of recognition Of his govern
ment by the Allies, but IN the advice
of Smuts the supreme council decided
IN May that recognition would not be
granted until the conditions of the
armistice had been fulfilled.
The correspondent of "The London
Daily MAIL writing from Budapest in
May, described the Bella Kun regime as
a mixture of "'Alice in Wonderland
and bad dream"
Bella Kun Is bald, square headed
man. with q large mouth and puffy
cheeks. He is said to try to\impress
his followers with the idea that his
lie is in danger, and never was seen
without bodyguard Of six Red SOL
diers. His room was guarded day and
night and machine gun stationed in
the street outside his hotel. AS to his
intelligence. reports have varied, some
characterizing him as an educated and
scholarly man, others as an illiterate
and third-rate orator.
His policy has been to give free ex
ercise to the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat." Throughout his term of
Office he urged the Allies to lift the
blockade and to desist in military cf-
forts against the Hungarian govern
ment, the latest of which was reported
July %, when Vienna advices stated
that an Allied army Of 10000 was
preparing an advance on Budapest.
Bella Kun has a wife and one child.
He attempted to send them into
Switzerland during the revolutionary
days. but they were barred. At ana
other time he sought safety for him
self and family with the Allied gov
ernments.
His request, made in May through
Professor Philip Brown, American
pc&cc representative in Hungary, was
reported as being favorably con-
sidered.

CITY CLUB OFFERS

Appointment of the committee to as
sumo charge of the enrolling OF the

dent Of the club.
The life memberships will be lin
tied to 100.
The clubs building committee, IN
it's recent tour of four cities for sug
gestions as to club methods and fu-
cilities. discovered that life member
ships were highly priced and greatly
desired by members, but were regard
ed by club officials as only tenn
porary financing expedients. The
tendency at most OF the clubs, there
fore, Is gradually to reduce, AMI
eventually to eliminate, the life mem
berships. Such a policy naturally
enhances the value of the member
ships. 1t is not at all unlikely that
similar policy will be pursued by
the City Club.
