I The Morning Post's Vienna correspondent states that, (ifcneral Smuts' note to the Hungarian Government proposed a new line as the eastern limit for Hungarian troops, adding that the Roumanians would be required to stand still, making a neutral zone between tlie two armies, which would be occupied by troops of the four leading Entente Powers. General Smuts promised that the arrangement would not prejudice Hungary's territorial claims at the peace settlement, and acceptance undoubtedly would lead to raising the blockade. The Government replied that it would only accept under orders, and made the suggestion that the limit be much farther eastward, as defined by the November armistice, also that the Soviet's rule in the neutral zone must be unimpaired, and concluded by denouncing the solution of territorial questions according to imperialistic conquests.—Aus.
