- ENTRAL Europe's hour of
peril does not end with the
incarceration of Emperor
Charles. who has dismally
failed In a second attempt to restore
the Hapsburgs in Hungary. Motives
journey to royal rule are too deep
in the minds and consciences of the
people of Hungary. The apparent
success of Admiral Horthy. the re-
gent, to Illustrate 'Hapsburg desires
may prove passing. The monarchist
net that has been spread over CEN
trail Europe. partScularly in Hungary,
Bavaria and Germany proper. reaches
to the farthest corners of those lands
desired in the reconstruction of
new alliance fostered by the at pres
ent discredited royalist factions.
Another hour will come when the
signal will go out into the hidden
places and the monarchists Will
strike in more far-reaching fashlon;
Never in the history of the royal
houses of central Europe have they
accomplish desired ends. unless 1u-
tility was absolutely proven Monar-
chist sympathiZers of central Europe,
despite the two attempts or Charles
and the ill-timed kappist revolt In

for back of the plottings is known
sentiment of hundreds of thousands
of peoples in central Europe in 1aVor

That the monarchistS have not sue
ceeded has been largely through lack
of perfect organization and not senti-

have been made, there is every rea-
son for believing that the royalist
sympathizers in all favorable terri

It is the knowledge of this that largely
induces the little entente" to so FIRMLY
insist on the rehabilitation of Hum
garian forces. 1t IS because OF known
sympathies for monarchial rule and the
possible overturning of all that the
peace treaties have given that Ru-

frontiers of Hungary and Austria 10

and continuing prosperity OF the smaller
nations prevail
Return Of royalist factions means sup
preston of a vast element of the popu-
iation that longs for the freedom that
has been given through the treaties of
peace. Those elements back present
governments, but it always is ques-
ton how long they will be permitted
to continue present forms when there
tester royalist Vaccinations which II
must be said are supported by another
great element of the populations.
Admiral Horthy. regent Of Hungary,
who has succeeded in frustrating the
carefully laid plans of former Emperor
Count Andrassy, undoubtedly likes his
Job He wishes to retain 1t until Hun
gary can make her peace with allied
nations and retain some semblance OF
the advantages to be gained through
apparent concord. But Notwithstanding
the apparent desire of Admiral Horthy
TO play in the allies back yard and heed
their dictates. diplomatic circles are
fully aware of the fact that little more
than two years ago Admiral Horthy fell
in with the plans laid by Gen. Luden-
dorff looking toward the return OF the
royalist houses. There is no reason to
believe that this plot is not still being
furthered. Rather than being pleased
by the two attempts OF Charles IL Would
appear that the monarchists are very
angry-Angay principally because he
failed. but angry also because in max
ing such bunsling Job of the whole
business he has threatened Illustration
of the more far-reaching schemes which
were to embrace all of the Teutonic and
Magyar peoples.

Admiral Horthy may we'll consent
to lend a hand in the Illustration of
the Hapsburg's desires. But the fail
ure of Charles to regain the throne
largely through Horthy's efforts does
NOT mean that Horthy. when the time
comes. will not fall in with the plans
of Ludendorff. The failure of Charles
and Hungary's apparent desire to ap-
pease the big and little ententes at
the moment may allay suspicion OF
the unsophisticated, but it is well
