According to Hungarian sources, Jugo-Slavian fron- tier guards are entering Hungarian territory and are trying to provoke incidents which will supply an excuse for war.

Hungary points out that under the Little Entente Treaty France is pledged to aaaiat Yugo-Slavia only if it is proved that Hungary is the aggressor. It is alleged that the Yugo-Slavian Govern- ment is trying to bring about this situation, and draw France into her dispute with Hungary-Retter.

Washington, Dec. 6.

The United States has warned Japan that if she insists upon the abrogation of the Washington Treaty, she must expect a naval race, that America can and will outbuild her and, finally, that the end of the treaty will mean the end of conversations at London called with a view to securing a naval agreement.

The United States Government has served notice that if Japan persists in her determination to abrogate the naval treaties she may expect strong reaction in America...

British troops will march along the roads of the Continent again next week, it is expected, singing the same old songs as when they plodded up the line some twenty years ago upon a very different mission.

It was learned here to-day that Germany had replied to the Bug gestion of the League of Nation's Committee of Three that inter- national forces should police the

Geneva, Dec. 5.

France and Russia to-day signed an accord pleading themselves to refrain from entering upon any agreement which might conceivably hamper the conclusion of "an Eastern Locarno Pact."

M. Laval, the French Foreign Minister, and M. Litvinoff, Russian Commissar for Foreign Affairs and chief Soviet delegate to the League of Nations, signed on behalf of their respective Governments.
