Armed guards from various organi- ! zations have been stationed along the frontier to intercept the former em- | peror should he attempt to re-aross | into Austria. The armories of the association of former officers are un- der heavy guard to prevent the re- moval of arms and the homes of all ' generals in the old imperial army are ! under police surveillance. It is re- | ported a large number of officers of | the old army are hurrying in groups | to towns- adjacent to Steinamanger. The refusal ‘of the party composed of small farmers to endorse the former emperor's move, it is understood, was largely responsible for the request or Hungary that he depart from the country. Warning Is Given. Meanwhile the “Little Entente, comprising Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo- Slavia and Rumania, has sérved no- tice on the Austrian government that troops will be marched into Austria ' at the slightest indication that former Emperor _Charles is to be permitted | to remain in the country.

Kelly, chairman of the committee for Irish Relief announced this afternoon that a tag day will be held in New Britain Saturday of this week. By the observing of a tag day more will be added to the fund - already raised in New Britain. The committee feels that there are many in the city who would be willing to give as much as they could if it were only a few pennies and would much rather pur- chase a tag then go to the office with a too small sum. Mrs. M. T. Crean, chairman of the ladies’ committee, | will also assist in preparing plans for | the tag day the full particulars ot; which will- be announced later.
