MORE WEALTH.

TO MEET CONDITIONS. MR HUGHES CONDEMNS PROFIT-EER-S AND EOLSHEVIKS. DURBAN, Aug. 7. Mr W. M. Hughes, speaking at’ a ‘luncheon in his honour‘. referred to the labour unrest, He said he sympathised with the cry for more money and shorter hours; but the only way to sobtain amelioration was to produce more wealth. There were Itiwo classes who were enemies to society——the Bol-shevik-.s and the pwofiteers-——:and' he said, “Damn them both.” That was the message he gave. If we were to speak me-a."ly~mouthed platitudes, we would do no good. to the world, which was racking its soul. The ur.orl-d.was'deadly sick from ‘the eifeets of a deadly de--baueh. H'e“Would fight both the Bolsheviks and the profiteers relenflessly to the very end.

Roumanian troops have crossed the Danube and occupied the whole of Budapest, owing to the expiry of the period fixed for acceptance of tlie armistice. The Supfeme Council not only refused to recognise Roumaniafs right to impose, but held that exaction of :7paration and indemnities was vested -1.1 all the Allies. '

It is learned that the Rounianian generals refused to obey the Allied Colmnission ’s request to stay their hand and permitted pillaging. They established a blockade, which is reducing Budapest to starvation. They also destroyed the railv»’ays‘be<tweell Budapest and Vienna, and eonirnitted tether violations of the rights of the Allies, even of humanity, The Coulleil’s telegrams to Roumania requests the Government. to immediately demonstrate by acts that the inference of the Council that Roumania is resolved to 'disreg.arcl its authority and separate herself from the Allies is mistaken.

AMERICA THREATEN-S ROUMANIA BERLIN, Aug, -9. ‘The sTageblatt’s Budapest correspondent states that the American Government has requested the Roumanian command to Viritlidraw the armistice conditions, threatening StOp}_;3.g-1 .of supplies to Rournania ALLl'}’:s" AU'I‘FfORITY IN Tlll3} V. _ ; ‘ BALANCE.’ " . .

It is unlikely that CzeelloSlovakia, Serbia, and Italy will acquiesce in Roumanian demands. Roumania.’s defiance is having far-reaching effects abroad, and has revived the hopes -of Turkish insurgents in the Committee of Union and Progress. It has similarly strengthened the resistance of Von der Goltz, who flatly decline to obey the Allied plans and evacuate the Baltic provinces by the 20th.

A HAPSBURG RULER_ ‘ FRENCH AND BRITISH ms. GIVINGS. Received 8.55 am. LONDON, ‘Aug. 8. The sudden reappearance of a reirescntaiive of the discredited Hapsugg as virtual Governor of Hungary is regarded -with strong suspicions

and lnisgivings in England and France. . The Times suggests they Entente mission to Budapesth has a. share in the re::ctionary intrigues which have been developing for several months. The Allies are gravely stultifying themse'.ves by delegating authority to the Archduke while claiming to act in accordance with ‘democratic principles_ The Westminster Gazette says the Allies ought to insist that the Archduke izninediately convene a constituent é~-itembly to -see whether the people want him. \,¢ A French newspapers make similar clomzmds. and strongly: suspect the Al-chd:zke’s aims. The Figaro says Joseph and the generals are Maygars and sworn enemies of France.
