KING AND PEACE
HUNGARIAN ISSUES
Allies Grant Further Time for
Reply to Treaty-Arch-
duke Discusses Future.

LONDON. February (by the Asso-
| ciated Press) The time limit given to
Hungary in which to make known
| her intention with regard to the
peace treaty has been extended to
| February "a. This date comes after
, the convening of the national assembly
at Budapest.
BUDAPEST, February Count
Apponyi, head of the Hungarian peace
! delegation, discussing further the peace
settlement, said today:
1.-The peace treaty would deprive
Hungary of two-thirds of her territory
and population. Nothing of the kind
was inflicted on any other of the bellig-
erent states. Is Hungary then most re-
sponsible and most guilty of all? 1t IS
incredible as she is least Independent.
I'm many cases new frontiers
are pushed inwards, merely to rob us of
our flourishing cities, which are totally
Hunga rian. We can discover in the
treaty nothing but the reflections of the
Juvenile appetites of neighboring states,
unmindful of their own powers of di-
gestion and devoid of all sense of re-
rope. But we cannot conceive that the
great alliedpowerS alive to such re-
sponsibility should be executors of such
irresponsible greed
Division Among Royalists.
BUDAPEST, January 31-The roy
..iist party in Hungary is divided into
two groups. One demands a national
Aing-if possible Hungarian. This
group is willing to accept Archduke
Joseph as king, owing to the fact that
.iis Hungarian stock appears stronger.
The other group is working to invite
: member of some powerful foreign
dynasty to the position, so that he
might bring with him the economic and
political aid of his country. There is
again much talk about Prince Arthur
of ConnauSht.
Many efforts have been made to sound
British official opinion through local
representatives here, particularly Gen.
Gordon and Vice Admiral Troubridge.
representing Great Britain on the inter-
allied military commission. There is a
small group which advocates legalist
principles, according to which former
Emperor Charles, it is asserted, is legal
ly king of Hungary. This group is seek
ing to persuade Charles to abdicate in
favor of his son Otto, during whose in
fancy Hungary should he governed by
regent-possibly Count Apponyi.
Possibility of Frenchman,
One of the most recent possibilities
is IN the form of a French candidate
OF the house of Bourbon. which would
mt into the French political plan of
control over the former empire and
also the Balkans.
Hc war minister, stephan Fried
rich, is openly working for Archduke
Joseph. Friedrich's followers are de-
manding the resignation of the Hus-
Ear cabinet, claiming that the func-
tlonS of this cabinet ceased with the
holding of elections. Premier Huszar
declines to accede to this, but if he is
compelled to resign, Herr Friedrich
Will likely take up the Office before
the meeting of the national assembly.

Der of the Hapsburg family, referring
today to the royalist tendency in
Hungary, said to the correspondent of
the Associated Press:
Charles is the rightfuI King of
Hungary until the people decide 9TH
erwise. 1t is a dangerous question to
nave king here when the whole
world is in such state of revolution
ary unrest. The disorders in Germany
may force the people sooner or later
to re-establish the Hohenzollerns as
rulers.
Hungary will rise again Her peo-
pie are active and intelligent and are
working out greater destiny. Hun
gary Will not be little state of g.
100000, but state of 20,O0O.OOO. of
whom 100000 will be pure Hun
garians. Hungary's misfortune in the
past was that she was dominated from
Vienna and exploited economically by
Austria"
