Of course "the woman did It" That
Il to say. former Empress Zita Is
blamed as the moving spirit In her
husbands second futile attempt to re.
gain the throne Of Hungary. It was
spectacular, and interesting while It

some chance for Its success. Karl

sky. who abandoned his Office as
premier, flocked to Karl's support and
proclaimed him king, and he and Zita
declared their venture must terminate
in victory or death. Well. It was not
victory. and It was, as usual, death
only for the poor misguided soldiers
who fought in their behalf. Regent
HOrthy sent all available troops out
to meet the royalists as they advanced
on Budapest, and after a battle at
Tota Tovaros, In which several hun
dreds were killed. Karl and Zlta, to-
gether with Rakovsky. Andrassy.
Prince Windlsch- Grnetz and the other
leaders, were taken prisoners near
Komorn. The ex-royal couple were
interned In an ancient Benedictine
abbey at TIhnny and the others were
locked up to await trial and punish
ment.
Az soon a. Karl landed In Hungary
the members Of the little entente, es-
peclally Cxechosloyakia. began mobil-
izing to frustrate his plan. and the
greater allied powers also were ac-
tive In other ways. But Horthy at
tended to the attempted coup without
their aid. The little entente. however.
has demanded that Hungary pay the
cost Of mobilization and give guaran-
tees Of the disarmament of Hungary,
and also It requires that Karl be sur.
rendered to 1t or to the allies. What
disposal to make Of the troublesome
couple is worrying the powers A
suggestion that they be exiled on
some remote island has been rejected
as giving them too much Importance.
Switzerland says they cannot return
there. and Spain has not offered to
take care Of them.
Regent Horthy announced he would
soon conyoke the assembly for the
purpose Of electing a king Of Hun.
gary, and It was believed that he him.
self stood good chance Of being
chosen for the position.
Doctor Wlrth and the rest OF the
German ministry resigned, as was
f0reseen. because Of the partition Of
Upper SIlesia. But at the urgent re.
quest of President Ebert the chancel.
lor retained his position and selected
a new cabinet, which was given a
vote Of confidence by the relchstag,
230 to 132. on the question Of its de.
cision to send a commissioner to nego.
tiate with the Poles. This vote, how
ever. was more Of courtesy to Wirth
than real expression Of support,
and II Is believed the. ministry will be
short lived.
While the German government will
negotiate with the Poles relative to
the economic situation In Upper
Sflesia. It has declared. through the
chancellor. that reference Of the
Silesian question to the league coun.
Gil was illegal and contrary to the
treaty Of Versailles. and It does not
accept the partition which deprived
Germany OF much Of the best coal and
Industrial sections Of the district.

Premier BRAND OF France success.
fully passed through one of the sever
est tests to. which he has been put,
withstood fierce attack by TardIeu
and others Of his bitter opponents, and
received from the chamber OF deputies
the vote Of confidence whicl, he re-
quired as mandate to represent
France In the conference on Limitation
Of ornaments. Belief In the sincerity
Of President Harding in seeking reduc-
ti0n Of armaments led the radical So
cialists to support BRAND. and the
vote stood 381 for the premier and 1856
against him. He intlmated that his pol
Icy in Washington would be that which
has been predicted In this review,
saying: IF France obtains reliable
guarantees for her territory she Is
willing to approve Of the disarmament
arrangements"
