The formal protest Of the Austrian
government recently reported against
The maintenance at Zalaegerszeg, a
Magyar city near the Austrian border
OF a legion Of former Austrian army

For several months royalist activi-
ties. aiming at the restoration OF the
HHpsburgs, have constituted an open
scandal at Vienna The Austrian
capital sNarms with hundreds OF
Hungarian army officers, many OF
them wearing uniforms, OF secret
service operatives. agents provoca-
teurs and spies OF all scriptiOn.
The movement has been traced di-
rectly 10 the HUNGARIAN legation.
Thus it is an established fact that
I'm the violent ania-Semltic outbreaks
n a few weeks ago, which led to The
| closing Of Vienna University, Hun
garian officers and other agents had
an active part. The movement is
\ supported by the Christian Socialist
\ party OF Austria, and a section Of the
4 Austrian ar.stocracy and The old
! bureaucracy.
Vienna newspapers publish docu-
ments in proof OF a conspiracy TO
smuggle large quantities Of arms and
\ ammunition across the Hungarian
border. These supplies were laft over
ny the old regime, and the govern
ment Of the Austrian Republic is
bound by the peace treaty TO deliver
y them 10 the allies.
III Officers OF the Hungarian army
\ operating under the camouiare of a
fictitious trade concern engaged In the
importation Of agricultural machln-
cry and clothing. have purchased hun
I dreds Of rifles and machine guns. a
D number Of field guns, quantities Of
4 ammunition and even several military
Y airplanes, as well as 10000 pairs OF
military shoes.
About 100 machine guns had been
~ha
when the affair was revealed. Funds
aggregating to 100000 kronen had
been deposited at several Niennese
banks to the credit OF Colonel Thais7
and others Of the Hungarian army.
The Vienna newspapers also pub
lish revelations concerning the re-
cruifing office Of the Hungarian gov
ernment. which functions under the
Euise Of an innocent ADVERTISING
agency. A former ofiicer OF the ole
Austro-Hungarian army, kuno Hoy

iecis with offers OF good Jobs In West
ern Hungary. II was only after they
\ arrived In Hungary that the youns

discipline.
