FOUR STOP HUNGARIAN FJIGHTING LONDON, June 19. The Australian Press Association learns that the Czecho-Slovak-Row manian-Hungarian struggle has ended, as ‘the result of the ‘Council of Four’s Note of the 14:: ordering," hostilities to cease and the armies to retire to their national boundaries. The Hungarians accordingly stopped the offensive. The situation is- still strained between Austrian and the Jugo-Slavs. The Italians have apparently undertaken a counter--move against the Jugo-Slavs’ advance in the Klagenfurt area by occupying villages», but the Jugo-‘Slavs have now got all they want, so it is hoped no further trouble will occur between the Italians and Jugo-Slavs. The Roumanian left, assisted by the Poles, has taken the offensive against the Bolsheviks in Galfcia.
