Troops returning from the Czech Mat Wore reported entering Buda - Pest in large numbers. Budapest Was disorder. Herr Boehm and Herr Lander have taken over control of the 'Communist Government. Despatches reaching Peace Confer - (suet) cirelea from Budapest indicate that general demoralization has struck Bala Kan's army, whieh is stragghng beak from the differeut fronts with titter lack of discipline. The breakdown in the spirit of the troops is attributed to discontinua- Um), of the fighting against the Czechs and the Roumanians in consequence of the armistice and to the hasty in- crease of the well -drilled loyal army ot 60,000 to more than 125,000 men. Reports from the same source re- ceived by peace delegates are to the effect that Bolshevism in Hungaryis confined almost exclusive to Budapest. Paa.sants are said to be obstructing shipment at food to the capltal,:Which is rapidly reaching a desperate state. Bela Kun was reported in A Buda - past despatch. receiyed Wednesday to have broken off with nearly all the Socialist leaders. Officers of the Soviet army were said to be desert- ing at every oportunity.

As a mutt 'of this uprising. 40 youths from the Audapest Military Academy and three officers were hanged.

Nearly 3,000,000 Have Been Demobilized. okl••••••••.... • London, Cable. -(Reuter despatch) -Weneton Churchill, IP a memoran- dum on the strength of the army, says recruiting is proceeding satisfactorily, 209,000 voluntary recruits having al- ready been obtained. If the present rate of enlistment is maintained the probability is that all men who actual- ly tought in the war will be re-enlist- ed before April 30th next. Since the armistice nearly three mil- lions have been demobilized, the ag- gregate remaining on the strength, including volunteer regulars, being 1,200,000. By the end of the year this figure will be reduced by about one- half, leaving approximately 600,000 men under arms. For the present no reduction can be made in the strength of the armies in the middle east, including Egypt and India. It Is hoped, however, that all demobilized men in India will be re- placed •by regulars by the end of the year. In the case of the middle eatt, it will be necessary to effect relief by sending drafts released from the arm- ies of occupation. These drafts will in turn be releived by regular troops as soon as those are available. - •• LORDS OPPOSE, Say Nationalization Means Disaster to Empire. ••••,•••••• ••••••••••.: London, Cable-(fleuter Despatch.) - There was an interesting debate in the House of Lords on the question of na- tionalization, to Which the majority of speakers expressed themselves as frank- ly hostile.

S.41 Was engaged in mine -sweeping opeia tions. Wreckage of the airship, which was of the non -rigid type and which had been, engaged in observation work near Cromer, for the mine -sweepers, .was washed ashore at Cromer to -day. The airship exploded and crashed into the seeiu flame a half-hour after midnight Tuesday morning. Accord- ing to eye -witnesses of the disaster, a. second explosioa took place es the air- craft was falling Into the sea, where the mass of wreckage fleeted on tha surface and burned for some time af- terward. There was a heavy thunderstorm raging at the time and the sapposition was that the N. S.-11 was struck by lightning. The dirigible, which was one of the smaller type, was built to carry a crew of 10 or 12 persons, but according to the latest reports, there were only two officers and five men aboard at the time of the disaster. Early in the present year the N. S.-11 carried out a number of endurance flights over the North Sea, establishing a record for the non -rigid airship by remaining in the air on one occasion for more than four days and covering a distaace esti- mated at 5,000 miles. Only one other British airship has met with disaster through fire in the air, this being an experimental craft which was undergoing a trial in Scotland. The entire crew of the air- ship was lost.

GEN MIS GIVES nil FOR APPEAL FOR OE ANY African Leader Makes Out Good Case In Urging Reconciliation, Irish Question Worst In Empire -Favors Friendly Relations With Russia. London, Cable.-LieutaCol, Senate, in his farewell message, in which he advocated a reconciliation with Ger- many, Made an alipeal for an abiding faith in high ideate, despite what he terms the disillusions produced by the peace treaty. Ho Says Oita fundamen- tal significance of the war has been a victory, spiritually and morally over the material factors, a victory of the finer elements of human nature over the ;laser, anti lance there should be no bitterness tett in the minds et the peoples. He pleads for appeasement and re- conciliation as the only means for the regeneration of exhausted Europe, which, he says, is the most awful sPectacle in history, "A brutal fact," Gen Smuts contin- Iles, "is that Britain is a very small isind, on the face of a continent in watch 70,000,000 Germans represent a most important and formidable na- tional faetor. -You cannot have stable Europe without a stable and settled Germany; you cannot ;lave a stable and settled Britain While Eur- ope is weltering in confusion. There- fore, the appeasement of Germany be- come s of first importance." • General Smuts, in urging encourage - men al of the republican administration in Germany, says the issue probably will be decided in Germany, and that Preaident Ebert "deserves our backing and encouragement." • "Do not let us deal with Ebert as We have dealt with Kerensky and Karolyi (former Premier and Presi- dent respectively; of Russia and Hun- garS)-with results eeyond recall to- day," the statement of Gen. Smuts concludes. Dealing with questions concerning the Empire and the Dominions, Gen. Sit -tuts says the most pressing of all is the leash question. "It .b.as become a chronic wound, whose septic effects are spreading to our whole system, and, through its influence on America is beginning to poison our most vital foreign rola- tams," says Gen. Smuts. "Unless it is settled on the great principles which form the basis of this Empire this Empire must cease to exist. Our statesmen in Paris .dealt wita radical problems resembling Ireland's and in every way as difficult as the Irish problem, and they may not ehrina Empire must cease to exist. . . .Our medicine they -applied to Bohemia and many another parts et Europe." Gen. Smuts regarded whole chapters of the peace treaty as nothing, com- pared with the supreme importance of having a stable, democratic republic, in Germany represented on the League of Nations. He expresses doubt of the wisdom of the policy which seems to be pursued towards Russia, and declares that Russia can only be sav- ed internally by the Russians them- selves working on Russian methods and ideas. He says: "Our military forces, tanks and war materialmay temporarily bolster up one side, but the real magnitude of the problem is ,quite beyond such expe- dients." Ile urges the Allies to. leave Russia alone, remove the blockade, and adopt a policy of friehdly neutrality and impartiality to all factions. "It may well be," he continues, "that the only ultimate hope for Rus- sia i a sobered, purified Soviet sys- tem, and that may be far better than barbarism, to which our present policy seems inevitably tending. Be patient with sick Russia, give her time and sympathy, and await the results of her conva leseence."

The streets were bright with allied colors, some thor- • oughfarebeing flanked by stucco Pylons, supporting allegorical figureo of Victory. Eager spectators lammed every point of vantage, even the roofs being black with cheering thouGands. Large numbers of peortio camped on the streets all night to hold places from which the parade could be wit- neeeed. Huge grandstaude; accommo- dating thousand's, were erected for demobilized eoldiers, an effort being. made to arrange that every soldier home on leave from France should see the procession.
