BOLSHEVIKI ARMIES
MENACE BUFFER STATES
Hungary's Adoption of Bolshevism Re-
garded Most Seriously BY Press of
Great Britain and
France,

London, March "a (via Montreall. -
Hungary's adoption of bolsheyism is re-
garded most seriously by the Anglo
French press, chiefly as endangering the
efforts of the entente to build up the
Rumanian, Polish and Czecho- Sloyak
states as bulwarks against German dom
ination of central Europe. All these
three states are menaced by advancing
bolsheviki armies.
According to a Vienna dispatch, it was
the establishment of the neutral zone on
the Hungarian Rumanian frontier which
the peace conference had decided upon
which precipitated the crisis. This zone
was intended TO make the Hungarians
desist from attacking the Rumanians
and to close the gap between Rumania
and Poland The entente note defining
this zone was dated March -, the vi.
emma adyices state. The zone was fixed
as a belt l40 miles long and 40 miles
wide, virtually shutting Hungary behind
the rivers Thesis, Szsmois and Maros,
and including the towns of Grosswardein,
Debreczen, and the entire country be-
hind them. The note required the with
drawal of the Hungarian troops behind
the western boundary Of the belt within
ten days and authorized the Rumanians
to advance to the eastern boundary. The
civil government of the neutral zone was
to be exercised by Hngarians under al
lied control, but the important points
would be occupied by allied troops.
Statements issued at Budapest accuse
the entente Of forcing a revolution, but
the crisis is held here to be more prob
ably due to the occupation of parts of
Hungary by Czecho-Slovaks and Ruma-
mans, while commentators declare the
signs are not wanting that Germany is
in colusion with the bolsheyilsi.
Dr. Bernhard Dernburg, the former
German colonial Minister, writes to the
Berlin Tageblatt something which evi.
IDENTIFY has a bearing on the situation
when he says that Germany, threatened
with dishonor instead of security on the
west, must turn eastward to satisfy her
needs and realize her future.

Delays in the Proceeding Said to Have
Led Up to Hungary Uprising.


London, March "a. - The Hungarian
revolution and the reported alliance of
the new government with the Russian
soviet, which is considered here as a
grave menace to Europe, has given rise
to new criticism here of delays in the
peace conference proceedings. The Globe,
referring to the situation in Hungary,
says:
"That is the natural consequence of
the delay of the peace conference in
making peace, and if the delay continues
we will have worse consequences still.
All this discussion of the league cove
nant before even preliminary peace has
been reached simply encourages the
spread of the bolshevik disease and gives
our chief enemy opportunities for in
trigues."
