! PARIS, Aug. Julius Peidl, pre-
mier Of the new Hungarian govern
ment has been overthrown, the peace
( conference was advised today. The re
port stated that Archduke Joseph hao
established government.
The coup d'etat by which Pe1dl was
overthrown was carried out by the
/, Hungarian police, it was said. There
was no disorder. The police arrested
the members Of the cabinet while they
were holding session.
/ 1t was held by the peace conference
! today that the Rumanian ultimatum to
the Hungarians demanding surrender
|, of materials, unsets the reparat3on
terms of the Austrian treaty. French
divisions in the Orient, it was learned
today, may be ordered to Budapest In
! case the Rumanian forces do not leave
as ordered by the allies.
/ A small force Of American troops
under Captain Noyes, together with
minor detachments Of French, British
and Czechs, are now occupying Buda'
| pest Jointly with the Rumanians, ad.
vices to the peace conference said
today.
The peace conference was advised
that the Hungarian social democrats
| represented by the Peidl ministry
had appealed to the allies not to per-
NIT Rumanian occupation and estab-
lishment Of a reactionary govern
ment. The Rumanians were reported
! today to be pillaging Budapest and
the surrounding country.
This action apparently had been
taken after the Rumanians had notl-
fled the Hungarians that inasmuch
! as the armistice terms embodied In
the Rumanian ultimatum had not
been accepted, Rumanian forces
would cross the Danube. The Ru-
manians threatened they would carry
off live stock, food and other ma
terials, despite the fact Budapest Is
nearing starvation.
Disturbing News.
PARIS, Aug. British and Ameri.
can peace delegates were highly ols-
turbed today over the Rumanian dis
regard of allied instructions, the occu-
patton of Budapest and the presenta-
ton Of an ultimatum to the Hun
garians. 1t was thought further ac-
tion might be necessary to disuade the
Rumanians from their present policy.
