general Hungarian mobilization may be ordered before midnight.
 Large groups of troops already were focking to the colors on spec cial mobilization orders. Public train service will be curtailed to- night and a three-day bone-dry prohibition order was placed in ef- feet.
 The protest to Rumania charged that Rumanlan troops had moved too close to the Hungarian frontier. It was reported officially that Ru- manian trcIils had fired across the Hungarian border at two points and that at least three Hungarian citi- zens had been killed.
 (The curtailment of ordinary train service tonight might indicate that Hungary is preparing for large scale troop movements. Bucharest reported without official conflrma- ton that some frontier clashes had occurred between Hungarian and Rumanian forces but had no details of the f1ghting)
 Hungary already is in & state of standardization, large numbers of troops having been under arms since the outbreak of the European war. Considerable forces have been re- ported on the Rumanian frontier since the Russian ultimatum and oc- cupation of Bessarabia and Buko- vina.
 Cross Into Hungary.
 The clashes were reported by the semi official newspaper, Magyar Or sag. In dispatch from the frontier it asserted that Rumanian troops had crossed into Hungary near Feketegyarmat today and were re- pulsed by Hungarian forces. No de- tails of the clash were given.
 It was announced officially that the Budapest army corps area now has been fully nooilized.
 The calling up of additional troop units, particularly auto and truck drivers and technicians, is being &C., celerated, it was announced. All age classes of reservists are affected.
 Another announcement revealed that bone-dry prohibition will be im- posed throughout Hungary begin- ming at midnight tonight. The ini- tial proclamation calls for three days of prohibition but it can be ex- tended indefinitely without notice.
 The mobilization of additional Hungarian troops followed reports circulating in diplomatic quarters that Russia was demanding a voice in control of the Dardanelles.
 Rumania Troops Fire.
 The official report said Rumanian soldiers fired across the Hungarian border at Feketeguarmat Sunday, killing three Hungarians.
 A second border incident also was reported officially to have occurred Sunday. This was at the village of Visk on the Carpatho-R Russian border. Here the Rumanians were alleged to nave fired upon a Hun garian border patrol. No one was injured in this outbreak, according to the official report.
 All leaves of army officers, police, gendarmes and special officials were cancelled and mobilization of the Budapest army corps area was said to be complete.
 It was reported that general mo- bilization would be ordered for mid- night.
 The state railroads announced that passenger traffic tonight will be greatly restricted due to technical difficulties.
 While there was no official in- formation, it was reported that ad- ditional border incidents between Hungary and Rumania have oc- cured. It was said no official an- nouncement had been made yet on these due to necessity for checking the circumstances of the clashes.
 In Bucharest it was stated with out official confirmation that clashes had occurred on both the Hungar- ian -Rumanian border and the Bull garian- -Rumanian border.)
