HUNGARIAN COUNTER-REVOLUTION.

Paris, June 26. President Foincare gave a banquet to President Wilson and the plenipotentiaries and delegates to the Conference. In toasting Pre- sident Wilson, he paid a tribute to the high spirit of justice with which peace had been drafted. Henceforth unbreakable bonds would unite the nations which had co-operated in drafting the Charter of Right. A counter-revolution broke out recently at Kaloess. Ex He emphasised the necessity of a continuance of unity in order officers formed & White Guard among the ruralists," disarmed: promptly to conclude, the negotiations with Austria, Turkey and the Red Guards, arrested the Workers Councils and shot the Pre- Bulgaria and to control the execution of the Treaties, because thesident of the local party organisation.

Real peace was only five hours' hard figating. They left 3 deal on the taht Tae attainable by continuous creative work on the part of the Allies leaders of the White Guard fled to Serbia, collectively.«
Replying, President Wilson said one portion of their work was finished but the other part had only begun. They had not established a formula for peace, but had drafted a plan for co-operation which would extend and strengthen in the future. They would remain friends and co-operate in common tasks which would awaken common ideas, regarding the duties and rights of every race and nationality. If they realised this aim, they would attain a great result. Nations formerly signed temporary contracts; to-day the contracts were in the form of permanent association. The nations must league themselves together in order to make it impossible for any nation to unchain such a calamity as the recent war.

Copenhagen, June 28,
SERIOUS DISTURBANCES IN GERMANY.
A message from Liban, dated yesterday,-says on an order by In the course of their reply to the Turkish Note, the Allies General Gough, the German troops have left Libau. The former stated that the whole course of war in which Protestant Germany 26th, arranged a solemn ceremony of razing the moment of Ulmanis Ministry has been reinstated. The local authorities on the Catholic Austria, Orthodox Bulgaria and Moslem Turkey banded together to plunder their neighbours exposed the hollowness.

rivalries of Labat General Gough was present and 20,000 people demon- supposed religions, The only arour of deliberate fanaticism was the massacre strated most joyfully, cheering the British, French and American of the Christian Armenianë by" order of the Turkish Government. Damad "Ferid's statement as regards the Turkish slaughter of Moslems only served to show that there was little evidence of sectarian animosity by any Government "There was no evidence whatever astiar as the Entente Powers are concerned." Nothing since had occurred to modify this judgment. Every man's conscience had been respected; places of sacred memory carefully guarded and states and peoples, who were Mohammedan before the war are Mohammedan still. Nothing touching religion had been altered except the security with which it may be practised, and this, wherever Allied control exists, certainly bad been altered for the better. If it be replied that a diminution of territories of the historic Moslem State must injure the Moslem cause in all lands, we respectfully suggest that in our opinion this is an error. To the thinking Moslems throughout the world the modern history of the Government enthroned at Constantinople can be no source of "pleasure or pride."

The Reply concludes by suggesting that the Turk is in happier circumstances and in less complicated and difficult conditions, with the evil tradition of corruption and intrigue severed and perhaps for- gotten. He should add to the lustre of his country by his religion and by other qualities than courage and discipline which he has alconspicuously displayed. If Damad Ferid were able 20 indiate an intensive economic and intellectual culture to which he referred, he deserves and certainly should receive all the assistance the Allies are able to give
BRITAIN AND AMERICA.

TO FRUSTRATE THE GERMANS.
BRITISH PLAN TO DEVELOP TÉADE HY INFORMATION.
London, June 271
In the House of Commons, at question time, Sir A. Steel Maitland said valuable assistance had been rendered to the German Govern- ment by commercial and other information from German residents in foreign countries. The British diplomatic representatives were inquiring as regards the possibility of encouraging similar institu- tions amongst British residents in foreign countries, and a committee had been established in order to examine this and kindred questions. It was certainly the policy of the Oversea Trade Department to adequately support the Chambers of Commerce abroad. The whole question of a better utilisation of all forms of organisation by British citizens abroad was one of the subjects referred to the Committee.
