THE HUNGARIAN REVOLT.

FAMINE AND ANARCHY,

HONDO, March 2S

The Daily Mail corespondent at Yevcy (Switzerland )says that unemployment, rags, famine, and anarchy ushered in the Hungarian revolt. Karolyi’s land programme was unsatisfying, and the Communists commenced forcibly seizing and dividing the large estates, including Prince Esterhazy’s at Prcssburg.

They were erecting a gallows to hang Prince Esterhazy’s English wife and daughter, when Czechs arrived and saved the family in the nick of time. Russian agents honyecombed the

country, lavishing huge sums on propaganda. Prince Windischgratz (former Food Minister) states that a few thousand good English troops could re-establish order. The British mission in Vienna ns expediting the revictualling of Austria.'

Thera is information that the Hungarian and Russian Soviets have planned a joint invasion, and that Trotsky has organised an army of 70,000 Hungarian prisoners which is awaiting orders to cross the Austrian frontier.
