NEW CONVERT TO BOLSHEVISM.
HUNGARY NOW EMBRACES IT.
London, March 20. Hungary's adoption of Bolshevism is regarded most seriously by the English and French Press, chiefly as endangering the Entente's efforts to build up the Rumanian, Polish and Czecho-Siorak States A bulwarks against the German domination of Central Europe.
All the three States are menaced by the advancing Bolshevik armies. The neutral zone, decided by the Peace Conference, was intended to make the Hungarians desist attacking the Rumanians and communicating with the Russians, while it closed the gap between Rumania and Poland.
According to Vienna despatches, the Entente's note, which precipitated the crisis, was dated Belgrade the 19th inst. It defined the zone as a belt 140 miles long and 40 miles wide, victually shutting Hungary behind the rivers Theiss, Szamos and Maros, and includ- ing the towns of Grosswardein and Debreczin and the whole of the Bibar country.
