London, March 24, via Montreal— Hungary's adoption of Bolshevism is vegarded most serfously by the Anglo- French press, chiefly as endangering the efforts of the Entente to build up the Rumanian, Polish and Czecho- Slovak states as bulwarks against German domination of central Eu- rope.

This zone was intended to make the Hungarians desist from at- tacking the Rumanians and to close the gap between Rumania and Po- land. The Entente note defining this zone was dated March 19, the Vienna advices siate. The zone was fixed as a Dbelt 140 miles long and 40 miles wide, virtually shutting Hungary hind the rivers The Szamos Maros, and including the Grosswardein, Debreczen and the en- tire country behind them.
