Special Cables From THe: ; Jou ALLIES' AUTHORITY IN CENTRAL PARTS OF EUROPE GONE There Is Reason to Believe Arch duke's Government in Hungary Was Given Roumanian Aid. NO END TO DISORDER SEEN Doubtful .Whether Indignation of Allies at Action of Roumania Is Very Deep, Says Mowrer. By Paul Scott Mowrer Special Cable to The Jonrnal ami The Chicago Daily New. ' (Copyright, 1910, by Chicago Daily Newt Co.) Paris, Aug. 21. I have serious rea son to Relieve that the government of Archduke Joseph Ferdinand was installed in Budapest with the con nivance of the Roumanians. They were in complete control of the city when this coup d'etat occurred and could certainly have prevented it if they wished. Moreover this govern ment was established In Szegedln several weeks ago, and had been con stantly In touch with the Rouman ians, and probably also with the other allies. It is even rumored In .Vienna that the Roumanians are dis posed to unite Hungary and Rou mania under one' crown,, although I doubt if things have yet reached a stage, where this is possible. Joseph Ferdinand 'is a Hapsbnrgrer and Ferdinand of Roumania - Is a Hohenzol lern. It is said that the latter intends to make a triumphal entry into Buda pest within a faw days. That allied nupreme council officially objects to the Roumanians taking affairs .Into their own hands. A notSswritten by .Premier Clemenceau in the name-ef all the allies reproaches them for acting without au thorization from the conference and for . not awaiting1 the arrival of the allied "generals before pressing a new armLs- " tlce, for concocting the terms of this armistice without consulting the other allies and finally for demanding mater ial reparation the delivery of which works damage to the Czecho-Slovak. .Tufco Slav and Italian claims against Hungary. But although the allies are unanimous in their original reproach it is doubtful if their indignation individ ually Is very deep. WAST PANCBE FEDERATION : French and British agents have been negotiating for a month in Switzerland with members of the old Hungarian regime. Both governments; somewhat regret their action in so "completely disintegrating the Austro-Hungarian em pire and would frankly like to see some sort of Hungarian federation emerge from the Central Kuropean chaos. Friendship for the Hapsburgs- was a tradition in the British foreign office until Viscount Edward Grey a few years ago restored In favor the entente with Russia. As for Italy, while she would dislike to see Austria-Hungary resusci tated in any form and while she par- tlcularly distrusts the old Austro-Hungarian aristocracy, she, may be expected to humor the Roumanians to some extent in connection with the policy of Isolat ing the Jugo Slavs. The United States is platonicatly con cerned in restraining the Roumanian Impetuosity, which our delegates say they consider "dangerous," but as we have no direct interests involved it Is unoertain how much weight our point of view will carry. The Roumanian point of view may be summarized thus: The armistice of November 13 in sufficiently disarmed the Hungarians, and besides Roumania did not partici pate in It. We have been slighted in the reparation We have only 58 locomo tives for our whole railway system and of the 100 others promised only 40 have been received. The livestock and machinery plundered from Roumania by Austria-Hungary has not been re stored. The allies have given us little or no material aid despite our desperate needs. They imposed on us in-the peace treaty clauses concerning .. minorities which France, Italy, Britain and the United States would never accept, but which they expect us to swallow -because we are smaller thau they. They have been powerless to protect us either from . Bolshevist or Hungarian aggressions, yet twice at their behest we have agreed to stop our pursuit of the Hungarians who had attacked us. It is not their fault that we have not been crushed be tween the Joint efforts of the Hungar ians and the Russian Reds. In defense we have been obliged to finish -qnce for Rll the Hungarian menace.-trVUntll this menace is removed we cannot even de mobilize our war weary armies." ALLIED AUTHORITY GONE The basis of this whole situation, as . I have bo often pointed out,' is the allies' complete loss of moral and physi cal authority in Central and Eastern Kurope, where it may almost be said nobody pays any attention to .their) various solemn commands. Tne Poles and Ruthenlans continued to fight for weeks after the allies ordered them to cease. So did the. Poles and the, Ger mans. Their inability to overthrow the communists either In Russia or, Hungary was obvious. The Italians occupied Fiume and the Jugo Slavs remained in tClagenfurt against the wishes of the oiner anies. yex notmnir haomna t has been strictly non-Interventionist, yet it is reported from Austria that whereas they were unwilling to send troops to save the Czechs in Roumania from the Hungarian onslaught, now that Rou mania has broken the Hungarian power French. British and American contin gents are being hurried to Budapest pre sumably to protect the Hungarians from the Roumanians. Many observers believe that the al lies' authority is so diminished through out Central and Eastern Europe that disorder is likely to continue there in definitely. - . BOLSHEVISM FOR BETTER HUNGARY THAN ROUMANIAN TACTICS Looting Conquerors Confiscate Flour Reserved for Sick Children. By A. II. Seeker Special Cable to The Journal and The Chicago Dally New. (Copyright. 191 f. by Chicaco Daily News CrO Budapest, Hungary, Aug. 10. (Via Paris, Franc, Aug. 21. Minister Presi dent Stephen Friedrich. in speaking to me today about recent events in Hun gary, said : j'The Peidl government was only a subterfuge intended to give the com munists a chance to escape. Seeing the country in a state of anarchy and chaos, Archduke Joseph took over the govern ment and made a verbal compact with the leaders of the bourgeois, agrarian and military parties-according to which he is to act as governor until the na tional assembly is held and decides to form the kind of .government the people want. Hungary was disappointed be cause the November armistice was not followed, by allied occupation but by a blockade, and then by the Bolshevlki. 'JVhen the Roumanians came it was thought they would act as entente po lice to" overthrow Bolshevism. The Hun garians are astonished to see them act ing as looting conquerors. Yesterday they" took the last flour reserved for sick 'children. Today they have taken the, drugs from some of the hospitals. They have, -taken nearly all the auto mobiles, even from the .presidency itself. LThe Iungarian people loathed Bolshe visms dui majy are now oegmning u think, that Bolshevism Is better than Roumanian occupation, since under communism they could at least use the hospitals and had a certain amount of good food and some liberty. "The Roumanians have disarmed 12, 000 police and left only some 600 armed. Hence robberies, murders and crime generally are increasing to alarming proportions. The Roumanians want to provoke disorders for the purpose of saying to the entente that it was neces sary for them to come here and remain." ROUMAN A MAKING WAR AFTER STYLE SET BY GERMANS Unless Checked, Trouble in the Balkans Threatens to Lead to Serious Tangle Very Soon. HUNGARIANS WITHOUT FOOD Victors Preparing.to Take Their Loot Into Roumania; British Monitors on Scene. By A. It. Decker Special Cable to The Journal and The Chicaco Daily News. t (Copyright. 1019, by Chicago Daily New Cm) Budapest,5 Hungary. Aug'' 12. (Via Paris, France, Aug. 21.) Hun gary is our enemy and Roumania is our ally. Hungary was defeated. Roumania, after suffering defeat, was victorious, but the suffering be ing imposed on Hungary far exceeds the punishment merited, and unless there is a change of treatment soon in this martyred, country. One of the greatest tragedies In history will be laid at the door of the entente. This morning ' I visited the markets. They were empty.' At noon I called at five restaurants but all were closed and bearing the locanlc sign "no food." In the street I saw a woman offering 40 crowns ($8) for a little milk for her child whom she carried. The dairymen refused to sell saying, "We are hungry ourselves." ' - For two days the city has had no bread, all the visible supplies having been stolen by the Roumanians who are using the terrible . weapon of hunger to toy with Hungary and .impose upon the people triple punishment lor the wrong inflicted by Field Marshal Von Mackensen upon Roumania. WQCXD A3CXEX HC5GAKT The Roumanians caused the overthrow of the Peldll government and they now with an' excess of insolence propose' that Hungary be included under the Rouman ian dynasty, something most hateful to .the Hungarians. Archduke Joseph is trembling under the threats of a Rou manian ultimatum which was presented at short notice and In a doubtful- man ner by more than doubtful persons and then officially denied. Obviously : the Roumanians have only one wish, namely, to gain time to overcome the ' railroad breakdown and finish the transportation of everything of value to Roumania. The. city is full of Roumanian j spies who are causing wholesale arrests. .This situation cannot last. The starving people will kill one another, will riot and pilage and turn upon their jailers. I Imagine that they may even be capable of chasing out the Roumanians who de fy the entente as they have defied all the countries of southeastern Europe. Now is the time for firmness and de cision or else this corner of Europe. will become the starting point once .more of endless trouble. HAK1) WORK AHEAD The four allied generals held their first conference with the Roumanian rep resentatives today but "its character seems to Indicate that no results will be obtained without wise and hard work against ill and procrantination. Archduke Joseph is working on a new cabinet list which is promised soon and will include a socialist. British moni tors have again moved to the wharf which they occupied at the outbreak of Bolshevism. Admiral Trowbridge is open ing the Danube. Food is ready to come on barges when it is advisable to bring it. American foods are being-refused until assurance is given that they will be used merely to ration the Rou manian army at the expense 4t the Hungarians. ROUMANIANS HURRY TO MOVE EVERYTHING HUNGARIANS POSSESS Cattle, Rolling Stock and Ma- chinery Being Rushed Out of Budapest ren. The American mission Is Installed in the RItx hotel where during the cora- j munistic days aristocrats used to 'come to beg for help from the Americans. Then It was the turn of the people ask ing permission to go to America and then of the' Jews requesting protection. Now it la hungry people wanting food and tomorrow it will be business men asking for credits. ' o j Communism is already almost forgot- $ By A. R.

Censored by the Roumanian Military Authorities) The; street troubles of the last few days are now almost forgotten. , The question everyone is now asking is when the f Roumanians will get out. Many f ear! that unless they go quickly they will automatically have fulfilled their own armistice terms which were refused by the Peidl government. Rolling stock, cattle and machinery are being expedi tiously removed. -' The Roumanians are evidently keeping in mind- the action of the Germans who took six train loads of pianos out of Roumania, The Italians probably feel - that the Rou manians are getting .the lion's share of the booty. TJie best . hotels in Budapest have been requisitioned for the entente arm istice missions. These missions must work quickly or they will have to de cide not what the Roumanians may be allowed to take but what they shall be asked to return.

British : Ambassador To Germany Riddle; Post Going Begging X . i' j London. Aug. 21. Britain is finding considerable difficulty in determining on. a prospective ambassador to Germany. J Appointment of art old time diplomat, such as Sir Edward Goschen, who served In Berlin for years up to the outbreak of the war, is out of the question be cause of the ; change In Germany, and a man with proved democratic leanings or evn socialistic tendencies Is beins sought. George N. Barnes, minister without portfolio in the war cabinet, who was one of the British empire's peace dele gates at? Paris, was approached but declined the offer, according to the Daily Nei. Barnes, for years identi fied with British organized labor. Is not a "laborlte. in the accepted sense of that term. He has consistently steered clear of "entangling alliances" with the radical sections of British la bor and In a degree is now an outsider. Arthur Henderson, according to ru mor, is another possibility for the Berlin post ; but this Is not generally given credence, because of his extremist views. John.t.R. Clynes. former food controller and 'now acUve on the high councils of. the miners, also is men tioned. : ' Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo If you want to keep your hair in good condition, De careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oii sham poo (which is pure and entirely grease less), is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair.
