"Tired Of exile and deprivation
Charles. former emperor of Austria
Hungary, made dramatic attempt
last week to regain the throne OF
Hungary. Influenced by reports that
the IIun.ariau> were eager for his re-
turn he slipped across the border
from Switzerland, disguised rs Ty-
rolran tourist and accompanied 10y
-four friends and for day was con
cea,cd 10y Bishop Mikes at Stciuamau-
ger There Premier Tclcky was sum
moucd and tried In vain To- pcr~uad"
the former monarch that his hopes
were not 10 be- realized. Charles per
sisted i'm his adventure, 81 Ioleky ac-
compauicl him 10 budapest, where Ad-
miruI Hurthy. the regent had an in
ter,icW with him Charles decorated
tie admiral and tried 10 caiole him
into turning over the government Il"
him but IIurthy declared he would
offer armed resistance 10 any attempt
To Ovcrturn the present regime, ana,
with tears in his eyes, the eN-ruler left
the palace, saying: Farewell for
ever"
Returning to Stcinamanger. Charles
was placed under strict military super
vision and Bishop Mikes was arrest
ed charged with being the head of the
movement to restore Charles 10 the
throne. The Spanish minister at Wien
ma stated that Charles was under
Spanish protection aud asked the gov
eminent for pass To enable the ex-
ruler To cross Austrian territory.
Three days later II was reported In
Paris and Vienna that Charles had
proclaimed military dictatorship at
Steinamanger with himself as It's
chief and that General Lehar was
ready to support him with 1900
troops.
This development brought about
prompt action by the little entente"
C2echo- Slovakia. Iugo- Slavia and Rou-
mania. whose troops We're placed In
strategic positions on the Hungarian
frontiers. President Masaryk sent an
ultimatum To the Hungarian govern
mcnt. saying that the restoration Of
the HahshurgS would be regarded as a
casuS hel!i by Czecho-S loyaka.
The Hungarian charge d'af'aires IN
Vienna notified the Austrian govern
ment that Charles would return 10
Switzerland At this writing II ap-
pears that the attempted coup is dud,
Early In the week II looked as
though the government forces In Ger
many had succeeded In quelling the
great communist revolt, which was
centered In Prussinn SaNony. The
green" troops, armed with machine
guns, captured the big Leuna nitro
gen plant I'm Halle. together with
many prisoners and vast stores of
arms and ammunition, and in other
places they scored important sue
ceSses. Then the revolt famed out
nfresh. not only in SaXony, hut also
In parts Of the regions occupied by 'he
allied troops. The American and Rel
gan occupational forces were e>pe-
cially involved but both quickly
gained control Of the situation. In
Wrstphala and IN N"iSSenfclS, Sax
ony. there was severe lighting and the
communists suffered considerable
losses. The attempt Of the Reds 70
bring I'm general strike apparently
was failure however.
The entire situation IN Germany Is
rather clouded aud reports emanatins
from German sources are not reliable.
There Is little doubt that Berlin has
been cNaugeratlng the danger ~ gen
eral revolt and the seriousness of the
"bnttles" with the Reds IN order &C.
