EXPEL CHARLES, ALLIED ORDER, AS WAR CLOUDS HOVER OVER HUNGARY Ambassadors Give Budapest Warning of Disaster. CZECHS, SLAVS READY TO FIGHT! Unconfirmed Report| Says Ex-Emperor Has Been Slain. By the Associated Press. PARIS. October 24.—The troops of former Emperor Charles are closing in on Budapest without meeting much resistance trom the forces opposed to his restoration to the Hungarian throne, according to information which reached the allied council of ambassadors here this afternoon. 1t is rumored in Vienna that Charles already has entered Budapest, a news agency dispatch reports. At the meeting of the council of am- | bassadors the influence of the allied powers was definitely thrown against the attempted restoration. The council instructed the allied Tepresentatives in Budapest immedi- ately to demand from the Hungarian government theSe things: 1. A proclamation of the forfeiture of all rights of ex-King Charles to the throne. . The placing of Charles under ar- rest and his expulsion from Hungary uouer conditions which the allied yowers will fix. Failing these things, the allied rep- resentatives are instructed to inform the Hungarian government that the! sllied powers will decline all respbn- sibilities and the consequences which | might result for Hungary. Liftle Entente Action. Jugoslavia and Czechoslovakla, member nations of the “little en- tente,” are understood to be mobiliz- ing forces to bring pressure to bear! upon Hungary to expel Charles, while there have been reports that Ruma- nia, the third member nation of this Balkan combination, is prepared to| join her allies in a’ military demon- | stration. Admiral Horthy, the Hungarian re- gent, is believed to be firm in his de- termination to expel Charles from| that country, and reports received | here indicate that troops under his! command have remained loyal to his| government. Dispatches state that workingmen's delegations have called | upon the regent and assured him of their support in the fight against the! roactionary elements seeking to re- establish the monarchy. H y Denles Agreement. Reports that e SXISts an agree- ment between ly and Hungary | concerning the restoration of former tes. were denied At the ralian embassy here today. It was sserted that Italy was not involved| in any agreement aimed against other powers. CHARLES REPORTED SLAIN. i Lritish High Commissioner Makes Threat of War. Jix the Associated Press. LONDON, October 24.—An unveri- | fied report that former Emperor | Charles of Austria has been assasinat- .ed has been received by the Exchange ‘Welegraph Company. . It is reported §n Vienna that the | ‘British high commissioner there has declared the entente will construe fthe continued presence of former Em- :eror Charles in Hungary as a casus elli, says a dispatch from the Aus- grian capital today. The -ex-ruler is reported to have de- (clared that if the entente adhered fo its policy of “suppressing the will pof the Hungarian nation,” then he, b the legitimate king, would sever lations with the entente. Ultimatum by Czechoslovakia. | An ultimatum has been sent to the ! ‘Hungarian government by Czecho- | #lovakia, giving the former forty- #ight hours to secure the removal of former Emperor Charles from that | mountry, it is stated in a dispatch | m Vienna. The British government has notified the Hungarian government that the Jatter must take all possible steps for the expulsion of former Emperor Charles from Hungary, it was learned this afternoon. It is stated in well informed quar-| ters that Great Britain reserves the' right to support the “little entente"— Jugosiavia, Czechoslovakia and Ru-| mania—in any action it may take for the expulsion of the ex-ruler from Hungarian territory. Orders for the advance of tne Czechoslovak army were expected yesterday, says a Central News dis- patch from Prague. All arrange- ments for the march against Hungary | are sald to have been completed. The Czechoslovak government has issued an official statement, declaring the | ittle entente” is resolved to oppose the return of a Hapsburg to the Hun- garian throne. ! The forces suparting Charles are understood to censist of three di- ‘visions. Decree for Mobilization. Feeling over the attempt of former Emperor Charles to regain the throne of Hungary is running high in Czechoslovakia, it is said in dispatches received in British official quarters from Prague. The decree for the mobilization of the Czechoslovakia army was expected to be signed this morning, and Premier Benes is said o be in communication wtih the gov- ernments of Rumania and Jugoslavia. An official telegram dispatched from Budapest last night states the Hun zarian premier has informed the Bri ish minister the situation is steadiliy improving. The Karlists have been driven back a considerable distance from the city, and fresh troops are arriving on the scene. : It is said they should be able to surround the former emperor and his followers. 1t is regarded as most important to get Charles out of Hungary, and the sovernment of that country is anxious 0 know where he should be sent when captured. An_ earlier telegram_received from the British minister in Budapest stated Charles and his forces were only a few miles outside the city, and that the firing of guns could be heard. The forelgin minister of Hungary has stated to the British minister that the t oops on either side refused to fire uyon each other, feeling the lower LLOYD GEORGE RAPS | there was not much concrete expres- Heir to Austrian Throne’ Repdrted Assassipated' EX-EMPEROR CHARLES. DEVALERANOTE S GRAVE CHALLENGE i Denounces Message to Pope | and Says Government Will | Not Recede From Stand. | NEGOTIATIONS RESUMED AMID GREAT ANXIETY | M. Sinn Feiners Pessimistic ‘After-Col-" lins Returns From Dublin Conference. By the Associated Press, LONDON, October 24.—Prime Min- ister Lloyd George, answering question in the house of commons to- day regarding Eamon de Valera's message to Pope Benedict. saig the publication of Mr. de Valer mes- | sage. especially in the middle of the | peace megotiations. constituted a| grave challenge. i “The position of the government on | the question involved in that tele- gram has been made abundantly clear,” the premier continued. “We do not propose to recede from it, and the | conference cannot proceed on any | other basis.” | “Folliex” Mystify Premlier. ! Sir Thomas Bennett asked whether the Sinn Fein colors were not dis- played over the door of the house o cupied by the Sinn Fein delegation and whether this was not a great provocation to the people in that dis- trict. Mr. Lloyd George replied that he had been assured the colors were not displayed, but if they were he| quite agreed with Sir Thomas' ob-! servation. Mr. Lloyd George then' added: ! “I cannot imagine why all these fol- lies are being perpetrated at a time when there is a real desire to nego- tiate for peace. It seems as if some people are doing their very best to make this_impossible.” Grave Anxiety Felt. Grave anxiety over the possib of negotiations between the Bri government and Sinn Fein Ireland continuing to a successful conclusion was felt here today. The conference between members of the British cab- inet and ‘representatives of the dail eireann was resumed, but there was evident a feeling that the situation was such as to give ground for con- cern among thos> hopeful for an ad- Justment of the Irish controversy. Michael Collins, ininister of finance in the dail eireann government, who went to Dublin on Saturday, returned here last night. It was understood that Prime Minister Lloyd George had laid before the Irish delegates certain questions affecting Irish allegiance to the British crown, and there-was a belle! that Mr.- Collins had gone to Dublin to taik the situation over with his colleagues. It was supposed he brought a communication from Ea- monn De Valera, and it was felt that upon this answer and the attitude taken by the dail eireann delegates would depend the continuance of the negotiations. Everywhere. except in irreconcilable quarters, hope that the conference | would continue was expressed this morning, and it was argued that, with good Wwill on each side, a way out of the difficulty created by Mr. De Valera’s message to Pope Benedict could be found. At the same time it was contended that If the Siun Fein representatives indorsed their lead- er's words, it was hardly possible to see how a rupture of the conference was avoidable. Much General Eleetion Talk. The possibility of the government appealing to the nation through a | general election, should the confer- assumed considerable prom- inence over the week end, and many newspapers referred to it today, but sion of opinion., The Daily Mail re- ferred to the suggestion as “childish nonsense,” and there was no doubt that such a plan would not be desired in business quarters, it being fore- seen that the present hope for a re- vival of trade would be shattered by the excitement and turmoil incidental to an appeal to the electorate. The London Times today earnestly reiterated its desire for an Irish set- tlement. It urged that, even if an ciasses are opposed to the restoration Charles, but in the middle class in favor of the - e veail Uiy agreement in the conference itself was_impossible, a complete rupture need follo In such an event | . | Auckland Geddes, the British amba admires the strength, i York on Friday, WASHINGTON, D.

Surrounded by one of the greatest throngs that ever massed its way in and around Union station, Gen. Diaz, dmiral Beatty and Lieut. Gen. Jacques arrived in the nation’s capital yester- ay afternoon and were greeted With an enthusiastic demonstration. Flags of the various nations and American legation banners flanked sach side of the line of march, and as the distinguished _visitors 'stepped from the train, the several bands broke into action and cheers and ap- Blause made a deafening noise in the Targe concourse of the station. To Be Here Five Days. The visitors will be the guests of the American Legion while in this country, and after five days of sight- seeing will leave for Kansas City, Mo., where they will, after being joined by Marshal Foch, who arrives here Friday, attend the three-day convention. It is expected that they will then return to, Washington, where they will tak€ part in the Armistice_day ceremonies.

He and Representative Ham- mer suggested that the matter should | be taken up by the Department of Justice. Supt. Ballou was questioned regard- ing the methods of appointing boards of education here and elsewhere, with the suggestion that possibly the board should be elected by the residents of the District.

Maj. Brown - said he saw no reason why, since the main duty of the municipal architect is the building of schools, he should not be called the school architect if it were desired. 'With regard to the Gallinger Hos- pital Maj. Brown said that the psycho- pathic group of buildings would be practically completed in about a month. He sald that the hospital, it was hoped, would be in operation by July. He said that the hospital was being constructed to accommodate 300 patients, but that it was being built so_that additions could be made o it, if necessary, to accommodate 1,000 ‘patients. He described the progress of the Eastern High School and also of the plans for the school bulldings au- thorized under the emergency school building plan adopted by Congress| several months ago. 1 CARS TO RESUME SERVICE.

The presidents of the five unions, replying to the board's citation to ap- pear here Wednesday, sent a joint message reassertng the stand they took at their conference with the board last week, when they insisted they had no power to suspend or call off a strike unless a settlement in accordance with their demands was reached.

As the board has summoned the 1400 general chairmen of the five unions to_come to Chicago with their general officers, a prolonged hearing would leave the locals without leaders.
