VIENNA Austria. October 15.-
Europe is in constant danger of an

uttered tonight by the Vienna Neue

previous murder of Gen. Koachevitch

RevOlutiOnaries Active.
Reports from all Balkan capitals
show that the old secret revolutionary
organizations still are dangerously
active. Observers believe that high
tension and anxiety exist not only in
the troubled Balkan peninsula. but in
the European chancelleries as well.
The Balkan newspapers are publish
ing charges and countercharges ol
plots. intrigues and revolutionary
movements sponsored by this or tha'
country. Because of its avoWeo
friendship for Albania and its alleged
antipathy to Jugoslavia, Italy is the
subject of particularly bitter news
paper criticism and suspicion. Some
editors even go so far as processing
TO see the hand of Premier Mussolini
behind the outraSes.
Hungary Is Unsettled.
Observers believe that the atmos
phere of unrest and instability ex
tends not only TO the Balkan States
but also to Hungary. They point
out that Hungary still is smartine
under the wounds inflicted by thC
war and by peace treaties, which are
regarded there as severe, and thai
therefore a war which might revise
the country's present frontiers would
not be altogether unwelcome to some
elements there.
