Definite results fol lowing the Czecho-Slovak appeals for al lied Intervention in the solution of the controversy with the- Hungarians over Slovahian territory, , In , order to check the reign of terror and bloodshed, have been secured. M. Benes, foreign minis ter of the Czecho-Slovaklan republic. who is in Paris, made the announcement to me. General Franchet d'Esperey, com mander of the allied forces in the east, has ordered the Hungarians to evacu ate Slovakia and to put an end to bloodshed and terror. This action was taken by direction of Premier Clemen- ceau in accordance with the decision of the allies. It ii understood between the allies and the . Czecho-Slovaklan government that. pending, the final decisions of the peace convention, all measures necessary to maintain order in Slovakia should be taken. Minister Sordar has been given full power and authority to administer Slovakia in accordance with the ex? press demand of the Slovak deputies. This status has been established with out prejudice to the final arrangement of the problem at the peace conference. The Hungarians - are obeying the or ders of the allied general, causing joy to the Czecho-Slovaklan government of ficials and also to the people. New trouble is confronting the Czecho-Slovaklan government, according to Min ister Benes, because the Vienna govern ment is violating the armistice by send ing arms and ammunition into the northern part of Bohemia for arming the German population therein and also for trying systematically to foster Bolshe vism,, though without success up to this time. M. Benes is preparing a protest to the allies on this subject. Paris. Dec J. By Mall) L NV S.)
