PLOT TO SET UP MONARCHY
Attack Town of WienerNeWstadt,

German Reactionaries-Brisk
Recruiting in Hungary.

Berlin.-Magyar bands have advanc-
ed from Burgenland into Austria prop
ar and have pushed the Austrian
Reichswehr who opposed them back
TO the Leitha bridge, just outside
Wiener-Neustadt The Austrians have
.etreated steadily before these numer-
1us well organized forces, which are be
ing recruited at three points in Hun
gary-Budapest Hajmasker and Zala-
EgeFszeg.
Wiener-Neustadt is about thirty
miles south of Vienna and only few
miles across the torder of Burgen-
land.
The Hungarian government has an
nounced that it has called the class
of 1900 to the colors, as it is permitted
to do under the peace treaty, to bring
the army up to $4,000 men. Evidence
is abundant, however, that each day
about 500 men not belonging to the
class Of 1921 are receiving arms and
being headed for Burgenland. Re-
cruits from Germany, particularly Ba-
yaria, are also plentiful.
No douIt now remains that the So
called bands are becoming paid army
with monarchist purposes, linked with
the movement to join Austria, or at
least the Austrian Tyrol, to Germany.
Republican Germany and Austria are
beginning to see the danger, and While
the Austrian government officially an
nounces it is prepared to deal with
any attempted monarchist coup, both
Vienna and Berlin are worried.
Reactionary German leaders are
busy in Austria, and from working I'M
der cover as they have been doing for
several months they have now been
forced into the open. Meetings of old
front soldiers have been called in Vi
emma and the reactionaries have es-
tablished headquarters at Innsbruck,
which they expect to be the capital of
a Tyrolean mountain state.
The monarchists, who are anxious
TO break the feeble vienneSe Repub-
lican government as the first step to-
ward re-establishiIg monarchs in Cen
trail Europe, believe this is the-r
chance. The Republican Berlin gov
ernment, however, seeing the danger,
has discouraged the Tyroleans in their
demand to be freed from Vienna and
united to their brother mOuntaineers
In Bavaria.
The publicity given to the monarch
