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

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."

HUNGARIANS WITHOUT FOOD
Victors Preparing.to Take Their
Loot Into Roumania; British
Monitors on Scene.

(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.

Budapest. Hungary, Aug. S. (Via
Parts. - France, Aug. 21. 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.

tea. If It is .recalled it Is an unpleas

opening and the castle Is being repaired
after the damage inflicted by the red
troops. Clubs are being swept, and are
flying their . original banner,. ' The
boulevards along the Danube are almost
gay with promenaders.

of shops, and throwing 2000 persons
out of work. Dyers want $50 a week,

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. : '

harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oii sham

can't possibly injure the hair.
