NI ber 1921 peal of bells rang out over the
old-world streets of the town of Sopron The
inhabitants were rejoicing because that day they
had been allowed to prove their loyalty to their
ancient fatherland, Hungary in a plebescite
controlled by an interalliance commission made
up of generals.
The unjust peace treaty of Trianon had ad-
judged Sopron to Austria even that former ally
of ours with whom for centuries we had lived
in peace under d common ruler and with whom
shoulder to shoulder, we fought to the bitter end
of the world war, had demanded share of torn
and bleeding Hungary. The Austrian army had
made preparations to occupy the town on 28th
August 1921, but in the eleventh hour burst
of national feeling famed up and the Austrians
were met with storm Of bullets.
