The Clemeneeau Hovernment has weathered for tho time fcelng at least the storm that has ben raging In the Chamber of Deputies over Its foreign policy and the delay ln the JPsaoe Conference.

There Is no mention et a unified military command and Gen. Uangtn's name is not mentioned. The same session disposed of two rumors that have been heard in Peace Conference circles In recent days. The first was that French demobilisation had been or would be stopped because of the Bolshevik Inroads; It waa stated that there would be no cessation of demobilization and that by April 20 come 2,700,000 men will have been de- mobilised, as was announced originally.

Jjammt, March SO. Official commu- nications referring to the outbreak ln the Southern provinces of Egypt have been received here from Cairo. They ay that a train from Luxor was at- tacked at Mlnlch March 15 and partly sucked. The bodies of seven British off- icers who had been murdered were found fn the guard's car. On March 15, at Benl-Sou- ef a crowd invaded the courts during their sitting, drove out the officials and made an at- tempt to seize the British Judge. Fall- ing, they wrecked various Government . offices and attacked tho residence of the Governor. Eventually, on March 18, the revolutionists were driven back by a small body of Indian troops. There was considerable looting of the tiomes of the British In Fayum, where the Bedouins were active for several days. A large fsree of Bedouins at- tacked the garrison at Medlnet March If, but eventually were driven off after having suffered 400 casualties. Canto, March 80. The Western Bedouin tribes have been warned that they must remain ln, their own locali- ties and that they will be punished If they move eastward.

A telegram of the Wolff Bureau says, however, that nothing Is known In off- icial quarters ln Berlin concerning such an offer. Communist troops Invaded German West Hungary, but wore repulsed after several conflicts with the Inhabitants, ac- cording to a despatch from Berlin quot- ing the Votelsch Zetrunp as stating that a deputation from West Hungary arrived yesterday In Vienna to report to Secretary of State Bauer concerning, the invasion. Many houses were plundered and burned. Manrrln to Get Afore Power. Dy the Aetociatcd rrete. Paws, March 30. The extension of the authority of Gen.

Hungary's Increasing need of food, especially fats. Is causing the American Relief Administration to give serious consideration to the problem of restor- ing the 860,000 hogs lost to the people of that country by the fixation ot new boundaries. In the closing days of the war the Austro-Hungarla- n authorities sent theso animals to the southern provinces for fattening and all of them still, are In the hands of the Jugo-Slav- s. American officials have opened nego- tiations to determine whether by pur- chase or barter the hoga will be re- turned whon, most needed. A greater part ot the differences created by the blockades and threatened blockades nlong the Italian frontier dis- appeared In the past week and as a re- sult food Is moving to Crecho-Slovakl- a, Austria and Hungary In greater volume. The distribution ln Vienna and Buda- pest la progressing satisfactorily and the success of the United States Signal Corps In reestablishing widespread com- munication will go far ln preventing any further hitch. It 'Is now possible to telephone be- tween Trieste and Vienna and there Is an American operator at either end. Between, Vienna and Budapest there Is a direct American controlled telephone. From Vienna to Prague a commercial line Is open to the Americans under an agreement giving food messages pri- ority. Communication with BeUrade Is possible with only one telegraphic relay. There has also been established through navy telegraphic communication with Zara, the capital of Dalmatla, and down the Adriatic coast. Ileports Hnnsrary Qtalet. Pams, March 30. Advices received from Capt. Thomas C. Gregory of the United States IFood Administration at Trlest, dated last Thursday, are to the effect that quiet provulls ln Hungary, and that the receipt of food supplies might prevent further trouble. This news came through Lieut. Smith, who Berved In Vienna from Budapest Thurs- day morning. When Lieut. Smith left Dadapest only the drug rtores and a few cafes wero open. There was a feeling of great uneasiness among the nlgneot classes. The new Government, It Is stated, will consist of a council of fifteen with Bela Kun, the leader of the revo lution, at Its head. Prof. Brown and Lieut. White ot tne American mission are still ln Budapest The British and French missions left for Belgrade, Serbia, Wednesday, and tho Italian mission departed the same day for Vienna. Prof. Brown expressed the opinion that the prompt shipment of foodstuffs would do much to ameliorate the situation. He added that Ule con- fidence of the populace would be re stored If the Entento mde It known that Huagary is not to be dismembered. SOVIET CLERKS RUN ALL BUDAPEST BANKS Janitors Supplant Landlords t . n in neceiving nenta. Bp the Aeiociated Trttt. Vixnna. March 2 (delayed). Fol lowing the practice put Into effect by the Russian Soviet Government at Moscow, bank presidents in Budapest have be come mere figureheads, while Bovlet flerks administer the business. Rents no longer are paid to landlords, but to the Government, which la represented by the Janitors. The stores have been nationalized and the heads of factories have been replaced by those elected by the workmen. Tfcs tanking business Is being hdl- - capped under the new regulations. No one Is allowed to draw out more than 8100 except In the payment of salaries. A check must be signed by all the trus tees before It Is submitted to a bank, where It Is honored on the condition that the trustees of the Institution are shown to be employees. During the period In which Inventories are being taken all stores are closed ex- cept for the sale of food and drugs. Thousands of refugees are travelling toward Vienna. All are deprived of their belongings at the frontier if they attempt to pass the border vlthout be- ing searched. Members of the wealthy class have resolved to tarry In Budapest and dwatt events. Countess Mary Karolyl, a cou sin of Count Karolyl, who recently re signed as Provisional President of Hun gary, Is quoted as saying: \We have been reduced to fifteen acres of land and one horse. It Is bet- ter to have that than roam over the world homeless. We have got to live somewhere, no it will n horo.\ There are but two clasps In Hunpnry aristocrats and peasants. The republic seemingly Is more Russian than Ger- man. All estates have been appropriated by the Government. American officials are being well treated by the Hungarian officials and American couriers are al- lowed to pans In and out of Budapest without hindrance. Telegraphic eervlco Is restricted and slow. Count Kiirolyl's position has not been damaged by the new regime, according to political observers, who eay he clev- erly vacated his position as Provisional President by shifting responsibility for the course of events to the Allies and then urging resistance against the En- tente, which resulted In a union of the Social Democrats and the Communists. i ' I JV SITUATION WORSE IN SOUTH RUSSIA Bolshovists, Using Propagan- da, Halt Victory of Vol-untc- er Army. By EDMUND CANDLKR. Noted EnolUh Travetler and Author. Btectat Cable Deepatch to T Scs trim the London Ttmee Service. Coftrtoht, 1MJ: all righti reierved. Ekaterinodab, via Constantinople, March 80. The situation In Southern Russia has changed for the worse with startling rapidity. At the beginning of January prospects were bright; a volun- teer army was carrying out a brilliant offensive north of the Caucasus ; tho Don army was threatening Tzarltzl; their morale was good, and unity of command had been obtained by Gen. ICrasnov's recognition of Denekln as chief of all the forces ln Southern Russia. The Solatia-vlk- l, on the other hand, mostly unwilling conscripts, kept ln the ranks by methods ot terrorism, were rapidly becoming de- moralized. There was wholesale shooting of de- serters and their families, whole regl-mon- ts deserted and after a short period of training fought In the ranks of the Volunteer Army. There seemed every prospect of Tzarltsln and Aalachen fall- ing and of Denekln Joining hands with Admiral Kolchak, thus establishing a solid bloo from Vladi- vostok to Crimea, which would have spoken with authority at the Peace Con- ference. Propagandists Active. The Bolshevists realized the dancer of this. Their plans for a winter cam- paign Included a most determined mili- tary and political offensive against the Cossack forces from Orenburg to the Don. The military offensive consisted in masslnir troona of vastly surwrlor numbers from the Donetx basin to tW1 Volga, but the physical superiority alone could not have brought about the col- lapse of the Don army. The Bolshevist troopo failed to effect their purpose by arms ; they tried to achieve It by propaganda, a weapon which the Bolshevist understands and uses better than any one else ln the world. The present grave situation la due partly to these propagandist articles and partly to discouragement owing to the failure or delay of the expected . allied aid. The Cossacks and peasants are persuaded Germany has become Bol shevist and state the workmen and sol- diers of Europe will Boon be fighting on the Bolshevist side against \tho Im perialists of Krasnoff.\ It Is pointed out to the Cossacks as proof that Germany has become Bolshe- vist and that their left flank hitherto held by Germans is now open, leaving them 300 more versts to hold against the enemy. Still Hold Donets Illver. Despite this accumulated discourage- ment and the fact that the Cossacks have fallen back, leaving more than half the Don territory ln the handa of the enemy, they are now holdlnp the line of tho Donetz River with the help or tne volunteer army and In the Donets basin a small force of Krasnofr battalions is still holding the coal area against eight times their number of Bolshevists, liv- ing in trucks rushed from one point of the front to another wherever pressure Is greatest. Tho Bolshevist political propaganda Is expanding with their military offensive. The word Bolshevist Is discouraged now ln the army and they style themselves Communists. They are abandoning the policy of terrorism for one of cajolery and bribes. They have Impressed several thousand officers and Bourgeois ai the Ukraine. Officers are paid 2,000 rubles a month, liberal rations, separation allowances for wives and families and an Insurance scheme for their families ln event of death. The fighting capacity of the Bolshevist troops has benefited by the Infusion of this element The chief discouragement to the Cos- sack army baa bees tho absence of the allied support. Allied Support Falls. Since the armistice they have believed the Allies, freed from other fronts, would come to their aid. There la no doubt Krasnoff rallied the spirits of his troops by telling them the British and French forces would be fighting by their side ln a month, In a week or ln a few days. For months they have been counting on material help in the form of guns, tanks, airplanes, armored cars, and mo-- al support In the presence of allied troops. The very word \tank\ has acted like a talisman; It has been on everybody's lips and there Is no doubt tho appearance of a few of theso engines or low flying airplanes bombing and ma- chine gunning the enemy would have spread consternation In tho Bolshevist ranks, but vital as Is the question ot supply ot munitions, tho appearance of allied troops In whatever small numbers Is essential It conrtdence Is to bo main- tained In the Allies of sympathy with the allied cause. The presence of British or French uniforms Is needed more as a symbol of the power behind them than for the actual physical value ot the force de- spatched. The real reason of the Cos- sacks' retirement Is the feeling they have been left to their fate. Both sol- - dlors and peasantry have lost heart and the Bolshevists are trading on the doubt and depression left ln their minds by the Allies In action. Bolshevists Take Heart. Their propaganda has gained strength by the allied Invitation to send delerntes to Princes Islands; which naturally has been Interpreted by the Cossack army EGYPTIAN DEITIES Qfie Utmost in Cigarettes QP7am End or Cork Tip jfkop?e of cultureand refinement invariably PREFER 'Deities to any other cigarette.

The volunteer-arm- y cannot understand tho npparf it detachment of Britain and Franco from the struggle, which may be re- garded as a historical crisis, a mass Issue which ln the next few months must affect tho whole future of civiliza- tion. Apart from the question of humanity they demur at the attitude as short sighted from a, merely selfish point of view. They aver that with half the troops the war material the Allies have put ln the Caucasus the Bolshevists might have been swept back from the south. If one argues that our troops have been fighting the Germans and Turks and have had first to clear and police the lands they found occupied by them, they insist on the relative small-nes- s of the force needed for the work. This Is a peril insufficiently realised ln Europe that every victory, physical or moral. Is two edged, that forces lost on one side, whether prisoners or de- serters, become a part of tho fighting machine of the other. For this reason the Bolshevist organization, which was founded on compulsion, is most vulner- able and ln the face of reeolute action on tho part of the Powers the whole system may be expected to collapse.

If there are reserves of food In coun- try places, which would considerably relieve the distress of such towns as the VoseUefto Zettvng claims, they are not available for distribution. Food ln the present state of nervous anxiety re- garding the future represents to Its possessors the only actually available asset and tho only real means of ex- change for other requirements. Paper money, partly because of the flood of forged notes, partly alro owing to Its low purchasing power, represents the eyes of the farmers an almost worthless object, because they trust neither the stability of the Government which guarantees It nor Its own authen- ticity. The Government issued a dental to- day that any proposal has been received from Lenlne for an alliance between Germany and Soviet Russia, but many people point to the recent concessions on the part of the Government to the So- viet system in Germany as an Indication of the lines along which the Government Is working.

But It Is understood assurances are to be given to Germany that these troops will be landed ln small detachments only and will be transferred Immediately Into Poland, and that there will be no at- tempt to selxe the city Itself under the armistice, nor at all, unless the peace treaty to which the Germans subscribe deprives them of that port The Temps says y that the allied and associated Governments seem to have decided to disregard the German objections concerning Danslg and to land, by force If necessary, Polish troops at this Baltio seaport But this move, says the Temps, would not necessarily Imply In the mind of the Allies the union of Danktc to Poland.

UNWILLING TO JOIN WAR OH REDS , Continued from First Pap. men, whose solo thought Is to get the American Expeditionary Force home as soon as possible, do not favor the launch- ing of an American army against the Bolshevikl, but they would like to see somo evidence of a set policy. The same Idea Is agitating the French public and Is reflected In the Chamber of Deputies, where one of the main points of the agitation is Insistence that If the French Government hns any Russian policy It should reveal what that policy la Recent developments Indicate that the French are much nearer to a solution of the problom than the Americans, and that It Is at least basod upon a prac- ticable Idea. The formation of Gen. Manjrtn's Interallied army to operate on the Rolshevlk front appears to be pro- ceeding rapidly, regardless of the oppo- sition which Is making Itself felt more and more outside of French quarters. Reliable Information shows that work has been begun on a technical military plan for the annihilation of the Red armies, and Gen. Mangln, It Is rumorod, has called his old staff to Paris. There Is some Justification In the news from Hungary received In Paris yester- day for the pressing haste of the French.
