HUNGARY FAILS

TROOP REMOVAL |
Compromise Is Sought
by Austrians; Return

Little Entente May
Soon Be Called on;
Trouble Is Feared.

/ Vienna, Sept. 25-(By the Associ

pressed in government circles Sunda.
/ that only the early application of force
could save the Burgenland situation
| from more grave developments. Hun
gary's confession to the allies in Paris
that she is unable to clear the terri
tory of the insurgents, together with
Austria's military impotency, has
aroused the belief here that the ''little
entente" with the aid Of Italy, soon
will be brought into play to settle the
situation.
1t is admitted on all sides that a
serious situation would follow such ac-
ton. as the Hungarians constantly are
being reinforced It is generally agreed
that they will fight hard
Charles Interested.
The supporters of former Emperor
Charles apparently have the upper hand
in the situation. The belief prevails
here that the Burgenland affairs have
turned from the originally unorganized
and more or less sporadic insurrection
into a springboard for an attempt for
the Hapsburg dynasty to return to
power.
Reports from the affected region say
that plunder continues in the glise of
requisitions. Money. livestock and food
stuffs have been taken in such quaint
ties that many villages have been
stripped bare.
1t now appears that fighting Satur-
day at Brucke. in which the Austrians
lost three men killed, resulted from
men in Hungarian railway uniforms fir
ing on an Austrian guard The Aus,
trians captured 20 of the attacking
party.
