GENEVA, Thursday, April 24.
Czecho-Slovaks have attacked the

soon.- French troops are said to be
aiding 'the Rumanians in their ad
vance In eastern Hungary, according
to advices received here from Vienna.
' BERLIN. Wednesday, April 23.
(By Associated Press.) Hungary has
hermltlcally closed all her borders In
an effort to control the Rumanian in
vasion and prevent unfavorable
news from escaping from the coun
try. Reports from Budapest there
fore are contradictory but all Indi
cate that the situation is grave.
The days of the soviet government
are perhaps numbered. The entente
powers are said to have 60,000 colo
nial troops in Neusotz, which are
advancing as a Rumanian reserve.
The Csechs are believed to be prepar
ing to attack. The people of Transyl
vania have revolted and are advanc
ing with the Rumanians because of
the agrarian r measures imposed 'by
the soviet regime. . : ; -
A panic Is ' said to reign In Buda
pest where the communist authorities
aro reported to be ruthlessly arrest
ing scores of the bourgeoise. Thou
sands of the cltliens are fleeing ac
cording to reports.
The Budapest police have begun a
counter-revolutionary movement but
It Is said that all involved have been
arrested. Government troops are
leaving for the front unwillingly,
having In mind tho experience of
their comrades whp capitulated to
the Rumanians. .- ; ,

'''" Amicable Solution
PARIS, April 25. CHavus.) Poaco
conference circles were inclined to
believe today that an amicable solu
tion of the Italian Incident was In the
making. ' ' '
For one thing, Italy has shown her
desire" to maintain good relations
with the allies by the fact that the
Italian delegates remaining In Paris '
will continue to collaborate In the
work of the inter-allied commission
not pertaining to the actual work ot
the peace conference... ' ', ;
It is thought possible that Premier
Orlando may call the Italian parlia
ment together at an earlier date than
May 6, as previously, fixed and that
ho may he back In Paris for the open
ing of the negotiations at Versailles,
which will, not begin before the first
