BERLIN, October S.-The danger of
a combined Hungarian. Tyrolean and
Bavarian monarchistic coup increases
daily, and Vienna, which is in the
center of the reactionary revolt grow
ing along the Danube, has begun to
form civil republican guards. They
are composed of workmen in the
factories, and would be called red
guards anywhere but in Vienna. But
the Viennese socialist workmen have
no chance even to attempt any boil
shevik move. as their hands are full
with monarchist revolution that is
developing all around them.
Revolt Talked for Months.
1t has been common talk for months
that a monarchist revolt was impend-
ing to establish a new dual Dan
ube kingdom composed of Hungary,
Austria and southern Bavaria, under
the combined leadership of the Haps-
burgs and the Bavarian Wittelsbachs
Such talk has not been taken seri-
ously, but a combination of circum
stances, including the recent visits
of Ludwig of Bavaria to his estate
in Burgenland. begins to make it
serious.
For months, also. the followers in
Budapest of Admiral Horthy, regent
of Hungary, and the monarchists in
Munich have been in communication.
The plan is to establish the Haps-
burgs in Hungary and the Wittels
bachs in a new state created by
uniting Austrian and the Bavarian
Tyrol Vienna, lying between, would
have to yield and accept, and the
entente could do nothing.
No Idea of Disbanding.
According to the news reaching
Berlin, the Hungarian "Jaguars' in
the Burgenland have not tese- slight
est intention to disband at the orders
of the entente. So far from 1t, they
talk only of an advance on Vienna in
conjunction with the Tyroleans, who
are under the able leadership of the
"Putsch" uprising expert, the Prus-
sian Maj. Papst. who calls himself
cant. Peters, and who is openly di-
recting from Rosenheim the mobil-
ization of the Tyroleans. So the Aus
trian Tyrol is on the point of declar-
ing itself free from lower Austria,
which means from republican Vi
emma.
When this happens the Austrian
Tyroleans expect to declare them
solves with the Bavarian Tyroleans,
who in turn will declare their inde-
pendence from red Berlin. Ihe1r
emissary, Col. Xylander, is now IN
Berlin. He came here to make II PLAIN
to the Prussian reactionarles that II
southern Bavaria breaks away 1T
will he the signal for the PrussIan
reactionaries to lead the fight
against Berlin" at the same time that
the southern reactionaries will lead
the fight against Vienna.
Loan Long Promised.
Col. Xylander assigns to the Prussian
reactionaries a tougher job than an at
tack on Vienna, for Vienna can ofter
but feeble resistance. For months the
Austrian republican government has
been buoying the hopes of the discon-
tented Austrian country people with
the promise of loan from the entente
waisa would put Austrian factories on

chance to get in motion again. But this
hope is gone and with it the bottom has
dropped out of the value of the Aus
trian crown.
