 1 Paris August l0.-The l0te the supreme council of the peace conference sent to R0mania on August relative to tho armistice the Rumanians sought to i'm
 pose on Hungary, was much stronger ] than at first supposed. It stated that { the peace conference was compelled to believe the INImanian government deter
 mined to defy the confernc and sepa- rate itself from the allied and associated l governments and requested Rumania to deny by acts and not by words the charges made against her. The text of the note follows
 "Following the fall Of the Beia Kun government and it's displacement by socialistic government, the supreme coun-
 cil on August gent to Budapes, d com mission of four allied generals to en-
 force the armistipe of November. 1918. and also to meet the heads of the Ru-
 manian and Serbian armies in order to 1 protect the occupied terr'tory aud regu- ] late the condition of occupation. These i decisions were brought to the atten- 1 ton of the Hungarian government hy l telegram and at the same time to the Rumanian generals, the Runanian gov ernment and the Serbian government. "On August $ the supreme council. having heard that the Ruruaniar author tiese at Budapest proposed to impose on the Hungarian government an srinistice i contrary to the arrnis.ice concluded in | November with Hungary in the name of the allied powers and in violation i of the general rights of the allies iasofar | as reparatons are coneerneid advised
 the Rumanan government that 1t refused 1 to recognize the right of the Rumanfan 1 generals to conclude an arnistlce with l. out the authorization of the allied pow Iers .. ] ~At the same time the Rumauian gov
 erlment was placed on its guard against taking any action contrary to humanity or to it's authority which might be com
 mitted by Rumanian troops, the council
 also demanding that the Runapigu gen eral-in-chief be given orders to conform tp the directions of the commission ot renerals representing the conference and lactrg by tolerated authority.
 1 The peace conference has not yet re- @eived a direct reply from tRe Runan- an government IL learns that the Ru-
 nanian generals refuse to comply with the inetructions of the allied generals | and have prevented publication of the 'elegram addressed by the president of | the peace conference to the Hungarian government. They also are permitting | heir soldiers to pilfer private property and rea,lstioned and are sending into | Rnmania live stock and rolling stock. rphmittsnr B1lanest to an unnecessary ] blockade which is starving the city. !. They are destroying the railway lines. in l narticular one from Bndapest to Vienna.
 In fact they are committing a series of notions which are as much in violation 1 of the decisions of the conference as of the riehts of the allied and associated
 bowers. and likewise, primarily of hu-
 manity.
 i "The supreme council learns at the same time that the socaiistic Hungarian | government was oyerthrown by coup ] q etat it's members arrested and the gov ernnent replaced by one having Arch i duke Joseph at its head. In view of these facts the conference is compelled i to believe the Rumanian government de-
 termined to defy the conference and sep
 arate herself from the allied and as- sociated powers. | Tn the event that the conference errs l in this belief it requests the Rumanianl government to deny these statements al once. not by words, but by actions which can publicly prove that Rumania accepts3 and is ready 10 execute in good faith the policy decided upon by the ccnfer-} cree"
 l American delegates stated tonight that [ the conference was still without direct
 reply from the Rumanan government
