AUSTRO-HUNGAR|AN. CLASH OVER STRIP. OF LAND PROBABLE.
Skirmish Has Already 0c- cured Between Hungarian Irregular Forces and
 Austrian Troops
By Associated Press

Vienna, August 2s.--The Austrians have met with resistance from the Hungarians in the occupation of 5urgenland, the little strip of West Hungary awarded by the peace treaty, according to reports reach ing here.
 Late Sunday night Lieutenant Hejjas. one of the recalcitrant lead CTS in West Hungary, appeared. heading large detachment of his irregular forces, seized the railway station at Odenburg and filled the streets with uniformed men armed with pistols.
 One detachment of ITO men ad- vsnced to Pinkafeld, where they met with hand grenades and machine guns, the Austrians who were com ing in to take over the territory. It is reported that Hejjas and ths other Hungarian officers were in fIil uniform when the attack was made. There are conflicting reports con corning the casualties but it is not believed they were great. It is sad allied officers marched with .hc Austrian troops when the attack was delivered by the Hungarians.
 ucInOHStdLlOT Dy tue AEct-ltS is expected unless the allies forbid the occupation of Bergenland. The Czechs are known to have concen- trated a full division on the frontier near Pressburg and other forces along the Hungarian border.
 The movement of occupation has been suspended and Herr Schober, the Austrian chancellor and foreign minister is appealing to the inter allied representative here to take the necessary steps to secure the given Bergen1and. As far as |. known the only fore,gn troops in the territory arc few Italians.
 Communication with OdenburE is cut and it is reported that the rail- way has been torn up.
 Details are lacking as to the exact situation. but 1t seems apparent that insurgents are in possession Of Od- enburg. Conflicts between 1nsurg- ents and Austrian gendarmes are re- ported from Friendburg, Hardberg and other Styrian frontier towns IL is asserted that Lieutenant Hejjas, Colonel I.ehar. another of the lead CTS. and Baron Pronay. commander of the battalion of "White terror is*s,'s have placed their adhere iit 2 thoughout Burgenland dressed Fin civilian clothes.
 A rumor here is to the effect that allied troops from Silesls have been summoned by the allied commission and also that the workmen of Wien er-Neustadt are organizing to go to the assistance of the Austrian so!- diers at Odenberg.
 The little strip of West Hungary turned over to Austria by the peace treaty has an area of about 1,T0o square miles and population of 350,000. By it's annexation to Aus tria it was expected to supply that country with fairly large quantities of foodstuff. The action caused great indignation among Hungarians.
