Wiener-Neustadt is about thirty

The Hungarian government has an

Of 1900 to the colors, as 1t is permitted
to do under the peace treaty, to bring
the army up to $1,000 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-
varia, are also plentiful.
No doubt now remains that the So
called bands are becoming a paid army

the movement to join Austria, or at
leas: the Austrian Tyrol, to Germany.
Republican Germany and Austria are
beginning to see the danger, and while
the Austrian government officially an
nounces 1t 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 un-
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

tablished headquarters at Innsbruck.

The mOnarchists, who are anxious
TO break the feeble Vlennese Repub-
ncan government as the first step to-
ward re-establishiIg mOnarchs In Cen
tral 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

disconnected the monarchists TO such

Nevertheless, the hand OF the Ger.

affair. These German leaders see ln
Austria the possibility OF success where
they have failed in Germany. The at.
