Russian Bolshevik Lead-:? Reported That He Was Delighted
With Hungary's Aetica.-His Representatives Have
Formed SoriaEstic-CoKffiistic Ministry To Conduct
Affairs Of New Government.
Hungary, forming a soviet republic in alliance with
the Russian bolsheviki, has declared war on the allies, ac
cording to dispatches from Budapest today.
A soviet army of seventy thousand, under General
Georgey is reported to have crossed the Russian frontier
into Hungarian Galicia and to be marching on Lemberg,
now held by the Poles. -
Other bolshevik detachments are said to be moving
toward Budapest to aid the Hungarians in resisting the
aHies, whose forces are now scattered throughout Hun
gary. These are believed to be only the advance guard
of a huge bolshevik army which Premier Lenine will send
into Hungary within a few weeks. "
The allies have sent a fleet of monitors up the Danube
from Belgrade in an effort to reach Budapest, capital of
Hungary. "While there has been some disorder in Buda
pest, American diplomatic advices received in Paris stat
ed that allied and American representatives are safe.
President Karolyi, resigning in favor of ' a soviet
communist coalition government, declared he was turning
Hun ffarv over to the radicals because the allies are con
centrating their forces in Hungary to attack the Russian
soviet republic and because the Hungarians are dissatis-
f ied with the peace conference's attitude toward fixing the
Hungarian boundaries. ,
The. new ministry immediately wirelessed Lenine for
aid in opposing the allies. He promised them, it was said,
to "keep in touch with the military situation."

wa supposed to

seemed as though tho delegates had

the situation is half as bad as its
surface indications, it scorns certain tho

CAUSE FOR GERMANY'S
DILATORV TACTICS IS
SEEIlGLVfflLAIilED
Will Now Offer to Oppose
Bclshevjki To Get Less
Severe Peace Terms.
By William Plap Sinuns.
(United Prct Staff Correspondent.)
Paris, March 24. The bolshevik
movement, culminating in Xlungary
setting up a soviet republic and declar
ing war on the allies, was believed to
day to have furnished an explanation
for Germany's dilatory nd obstructive
tactics toward the peace conference.
Germany, playing for time, lias now
reached a point whore she will offer to
oppose a bolshevik invasiou of western
Europe in exchange for less severe
peace terms, in the opinion ot. many
delegates. ' t . .
This is not such a preposterous situa-1
tion as at first appears, awarding to
the opinion expressed in some quarters.
The entire situation south of the Baltic
is chaotic and "full of dynamite." It
may possibly grow entirely out of allied
control, it was pointed out,, unless it
is mot squarely at once. One suiution
apparently will bo to raise an -interallied
expeditionary force. Tho alterna
tive is to allow the Germans, who are in
a much better strategic position, to donl
with tho situation. Germany would
thus virtually become the allies' man
datory in eastern and central Kurope.
. Now Blocking Allies.
Germany, in the meantime, is block
ing tho allies at every point possible.
Many are convinced she is taking this
attitude for no other purpose innn to
force permission for iter ro mat "Hor-
atius at tho Bridge.' -

Germans and the othflr by tho bolshevik,

Tho situation ia Rumania is darker still
in many ways. Added to the threat of
a bolshevik' invasion from tho east is
the new- menace of a soviot Hungary.
Poland and Rumania desire a common
boundary so they may form buffer
states against the bolshevik under pro
tection of the league, of nations, uut
it would require soino timo to bring this
about and tho situation apparently de
mands speed of action above everything
olso.
The feeling is growing lioro that mak
ing this international jigsaw puz&le of
peoples and nations fit is the most im
portant problem beforo tho conference
and that whether tho preliminary treaty
with Germany is ready for signing next
Saturday matters littlo unless strong
measures aro taken by the allies to
stamp out the mischief brewing
throughout eastern nnd central Europe.

Under her plan, girls botweon tho

Four youths are now in tho city jail,
suspected of a series of crimes although
they nro legally charged with larceny,

them on tho police books, as the boys
have confessed. '
Their names are Ted Kdgar and

The boys are from 15 to 18 years of

Smith, co-operating v.ith Chief Varney
and the pi lice force have finally solv
ed the mystery of the many au'oinobilo
thefts that have been troubling .police
officials for the past two weeks.
Seven automobiles liavo been stolen
in the vicinity of Salem within the past
15 days and in "several instances the
cars were found in the city with either
a blow-out or out of gasoline, showing
that tho thieves had token the cars
for joy riding purposes.
Las: Friday evening a car belonging
to the Archerd Implement company wuj
taken from Chemawa and found the
next morning on Marion otreet. The
same night a Chevrolet was reported
stolen. A day or two luter Mr. Hoff
man of Polk county reported his car
taken from Commercial street Tins

streets.
Last Saturduy night two cars were
reported stolen from the dowa town
districts and these were found luter,
one at Marion and Summer street and
tho other in another part of the city.
The stealing of tho luBt car Saturday
evening was the undoing of tho young
thieves as they were recognized and
two arrests were made Sunday morning
and the other two last night.
The .youths at first refused to tell
anything. But after a lengthy confer
ence with Chief Varney, they told the
whole sordid story of stealing cars
with which to go joy riding with -some
young girls under age and with some
married women, who will probubly bt

President Wilson And Colonel

Move.
By Carl D. Groat,

Paris, March 24. An amendment to
the leaguo of nations covenant covering
tho Monroo doctriuo, advocated by
President Wilson and Colonel House, is
expected to be presented at tonight's
session of tho leuguo commission.
The proposed amendment would pre
vent any power from acquiring territory
in the western hemisphere by conquest,
purchase, treaty or otherwise, unless the
Americas consented.
This article was reported toay lo be
mooting 'with apposition from within
the commission, especially by the Brit
ish and French, who have extensivo In
terests in tho Americas. It could not
bo learned whethor tho president will
attempt to forco through tho amend
ment despite tho opposition, but it was
believed ho will strongly advocate its
adoption, inasmuch as it would remove
much of tho ground for opposition in
tho United Statos. Tho Monroe doc
trino proposal is held by some to mark
a coHsiderablo recession from Wilson's
original position, that the covenant
would not bo ajtercd except in a minor
way.
Tho proposal for changes in the cove
nant submitted by Senator King of
Utah has not yet boon officially com
mented on.
Japan's, recommendation for an
amendment providing racial equality
was not presented at Saturday meeting.
(A press association dispatch Satur
day said it was Up for consideration.
Tho United Press said its presentation
has been postponed.)
It may be reserved until tho consti
tution is debated bv tho plenary ses
