travelling by airplane with his wife,
the former Empress Zita, flew from
Switzerland and landed at Odenburg,
Burgenland, early yesterday morning,
when he placed himself at the head of
two battalions of troops which were
awaiting his arrival. Preparations
were begun immediately for a march
upon Budapest, where Charles will
proclaim himself King Of Hungary. A
new Ministry has been organized, with
Stephan Rakovsky. formerly vice.
president Of the lower house of the
Hungarian Parliament, as Premier.
Count Albert Apponyi. onetime chair
man Of the Hungarian peace delega-
tion to Paris; Count Andrassy and
Gustave Gratz. formerly Hungarian
Foreign Minister, are other members
Of the Government already selected.
Archduke Frederick has organized
In army Of 10000 men. which, accord
ing to reliable reports, is solidly be-
hind Charles.
East Europe In Maelstrom.
With the simple act of descending
on Odenburg in an aircraft. Charles
has turned eastern Europe into a
maelstrom seething with innumerable
political possibilities. Austria, Czecho-
Slovakia and Jugo- -Slavia as secession
States, are forced into opposition
against any Hapsburg restoration.
Austria cannot undertake much in an
offensive way against Charles, but
may prove exceedingly sensitive itself
to the monarchist influence, especially
now in the days of economic calamity.
and it Is feared that the Royalists may
stage a demonstration in Austria in
order to gain support for Charles's
new army
The Austrian Cabinet announces that
!. has taken all necessary precautionary
measures. Czecho- -Slovakia and Jugo-
slavia both have armies and might
eventually wage war. AT Prague no de-
cislon can be reached until it is known
whether the Germans and Slovaks in
the army would ght Hungary.
1t is known to be fact that France
ard Italy are benevolentiy inclined to-
ward Charless adventure. Intrigues
emanating from the Schneider-Creisot
group in France are said to have been
the cause OF Charles's first attempt to
return to west Hungary. Since then
Italy has changed her attitude toward
Charles.
Hungary managed to take the lions
share at the recent Venice conference
= under Italy's auspices, which. though
formally promoting Austria, In reality
amounted to nothing less than the dis
cayding of the provisions of the peace
theaty in SO far that Italy even signed
treaty on the basis Of the Venice UNDER
Standing.
Real Danger In Seen.
Both France and Italy want to see
Hungary strengthened as a barrier be-
tween the Germans and the Slavs and
have her as a fairly strong military
State ready to supply troops at the En-
tcnte's behest.
England's attitude is not defined
Being so busy with the Irish problem
and preparations for the Washington
conference. the Prime Minister, Mr..
Lloyd George. has hardly been able TO
devote any attention to eastern Euro
pean affairs. 1t Is thought that this
may have been taken into consideration
by Charles's advisers. because England's
interference was the chief obstruction
likely to be met. At the same time II
was known that England would follow
the will Of the majority of the Allies
In eastern European affairs.
Little chance is seen now OF effec-
tively countering Charles's progress,
Forty thousand troops, as diplomat
told THE NEW York HERALD correspond
cnt to-day. are enough to achieve any,
thing In central Europe to-day. II Is
too early to say that there will be a
war. but that there Is danger OF that Is
unQueStionablc.
