Hungarian Dispatch Says Comman
der of Capital Has Been Ordered
v lo Give lp His Office,
' BERLIN. July 20. (By the Associ
ated Press.) A new reign of terror ex
ists in Budapest, according to a dis
patch from the Hungarian capital to
the Tageblatt. "Red terror," in its worst
form, is anticipated.
The dispatch says so-called "terror
troops are now masters of the capital
and that they have stormed the garri
son, disarmed the troops of the Bela
Kun government and distributed arms
to the "ragged proletariat."
The leader of the "terror troops,"
w ho was Bela Kun's personal guard of
honor, publishes an appeal for volun
teers and the people's commissaries
Varga and Szamuely and vice-commissary
of foreign affairs Mosselapary,
the new leaders in control, have sent
an ultimatum to the "moderate" city
commander of Budapest, Habrich. or
dering him to give up office and turn
over the city to them.
The dispatch says the council of gov
ernment is still convinced that the en
tente is too weak or unwilling for
armed intervention. It says also that
the "red army" of Bela Kun continues
to disintegrate. Food conditions in
Budapest are said to be indescribable
and money is declared to be rapidly
falling in value.

VIENNA, July 20. (Special Cable.)
Whether the allies intend to bring Bela
Kun to time or not, all Austria, Czecho
slovakia and the surrounding countries
think they will do so. This is the mo
ment when the allies arc expected to
Fhow their authority by knocking out
the so-called communist, but really the
nationalist Hungarian army of 200.000
men. Everybody here expects imme
diate intervention by the allies as a
pre-requisite to a durable peace with
Austria.
Not that Auptria has the force of a
(pick kitten to resist anyone, including
the Hungarians if t liny chose to come
to Vienna. Austria simply has no troops.
It can police itself, however, and that
Is saying much but only so long as the
Hungarians chose to keep on their side.
But with the Czechs showing signs of
roughing the Germans, with ToIand
holding all the eastern porlioii of the
old German empire, Austria . ..ks only
that the allies be not be too hard on it,
and insists that there is nothing in the
way of letting central Europe drop
back in a peaceful state, except Beia
Kun.
The que;imi is how strong are the
props u n it i-r He lit Kun. He has an
clastic. lcml;ibU but an indestructible
army like that of Lenine and like
Leninc his army has more nationalists
today than communists, Bela Kun has
the Roumanians, t he Serbs and t he
Jueo-Slavs against him. but he is car
rying on just the same and every think
ing man is of the opinion that a real,
si bio a 11 ied ex perl it ion must be sent
across Austria if he is to be k nocked
over.
One division and definite policing by

DUKE OF ORLEANS GRIEVES
I'ricntK of Pretender, However, Arc
Vrjred lo He Patient.
PARIS, July 2-. Prince Louis Phil
ippe, duke of Orleans and pretender to
the throne of Prance, has written a lei-
tcr to his supporters, it was learned
today, asking them to "maintain their
sacred union" in the work of recon
tsLructioii and to oppose any attempts at
revolution.
The duke of Orleans refers to the re
fusal of the French government and
the allies to allow him to fight for
Franco, and says he does not confide
to his people the profound sorrow
caused to him by the exit from the
hattlef ront after his hard exile from
France, in order that no rancor may
develop thertfrom, adding::
"One more hatred in the bruised
heart of France will cure nothing: in
my heart."

fifths of a second behind Ross. Morris,
Australian, was third.
An immense crowd lined both banks
of the Seine and gave evidence of the
popularity of Ross, as a consequence
of his victories during the inter-allied
games, by heartily cheering him.
PACIFIC FLEET SPEEDS UP

delegates at St. Germain on June 2,
the final sections were delivered to
them at the same place today without
ceremony by M. Dutasta. secretary
general of the peace conference.
The terms comprise the whole treaty
which Austria is asked to sign, includ
ing the reparation, financial, military
and certain other minor clauses, which
were not ready for presentation when
the official ceremony took place.
Fifteen days are granted the Aus
trians In which to make their final
observations, although they have al
ready submitted a large number of
notes on the terms previously sub
mitted to them.
Reparation Terms Provided.
In addition to the published sum
mary of the terms of June 2, the new
clauses provide for reparation arrange
ments very similar to those in the
treaty with Germany, including the
establishment of an Austrian sub-section
of the reparations commission, the
payment of a reasonable sum in cash,
the issuing of bonds and the delivery
of livestock and certain historical and
art documents.
The financial terms provide that the

lo Summit, Itest Halting
Above Government Camp.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. July 20. (Spe
cial.) A parts- of 130 Mazamas cele
brated the 25th anniversary of the
founding of the Oregon Mountaineering
club, with a birthday party on the
summit of Mount Hood today. The
ascent from Cloud Cap tnn was made
by 29 of the recreationists. The others
climbed to the two-mile altitude from
Government camp.
The Maxama club was organized in
1894 when a party of enthusiastic ex
plorers ascended Mount Hood. C. II.
Sholes. of Portland, who participated In
the original ascent, today addressed the
climbers as they rested and lunched.
In addition to the Mazamas, all Port
land men and women climbing from tl
north side, 17 flood River people made
the ascent. Weather conditions were
excellent. 'The haze over the lower
altitudes had not affected the upper
reaches and five other Cascade snow
peaks, St. Helens. Rainier and Adams
to the north, and the Sisters and Jef
ferson to the south, were visible. The
crowd was one of the largest ever as
sembled on Mount Hood's summit.
The Mazamas' first ascent of Mount
Hood was made 22 years ago, when 228
members of the organization spent sev
eral days on the mountain. They gave
smoke signals by day- to Indicate their
location to residents of Portland and
other towns, and at rright burned tar
fires on the elopes. A carrier pigeon
was sent from the summit with a mes
sage of the party's safe arrival.
This first climb was witnessed by
people in Portland with the aid of a
powerful telescope, which had been
placed on the tower of The Oregonian
building.
During the ascent tho party encoun
tered a severe storm, which made the
climb hazardous, and delayed progress.
Twenty-two members of the party
reached the summit by a new route,
known as the northwest passage, which
was found to be shorter and more
practical than that then commonly
used. The scenery from this route also
was found to be more beautiful.
The ascent of the mountain and es
tablishment of a large camp for the
250 or more Portland persons who made
th start was an important event of
those days and columns of newspaper
space were devoted to description of
scenery and incidents of the Journey.

On the eve of the hearing, which

conceded, is the most important rate
case which the Pacific coast has ever
placed with the Interstate commerce
commission for determination, delega

rate experts from all parts of tho west
began to foregather in Portland.
In all of the hotel lobbies last night
the impending legal battle, in which
all Puget sound is arrayed solidly
against Portland and the Inland Kin
plre, was the chief topic of conversa
tion. Attorneys were in conference
with, rale experts ' mapping out the
plan of verbal attack, while counsel
for railroads, the United States rail
road administration and Puget sound
interests were equally industrious In
arranging their defense of the existing
rates.
Vital Questions Are Kalsed.
' The questions at Issue are these:
lOqual transportation rates now are
in effect -between the Inland Empire
section and Portland, on the one hand,
and between the Inland Kmplra and
Puget sound, on tho other.
Portland shippers and Inland Empire
growers and producers are demanding
that the rate to Portland be fixed lower
than that to Puget sound. Portland and
Puget sound are practically equi-dis-tant
from the Inland Empire.
Portland interests, however, contend
and will endeavor to produce con
