LENINE SCORNS PEACE

BELA KUN TOLD TO KEEP FOOLING ALLIES. Hungarian Army Haa Order* to Burn Budapest and Slay Hostages If Bolshevikl Lose. Vienna. May 23. —“Hold out at all costs,” Is the wireless word to Bela Kun, Hungarian communist lender, from Trotsky, Russian bolshevist chief. “Keep on presenting a fair face to the allies, thus fooling them until we are In possession of Roumanla.” The Hungarian red army has orders, It is asserted here, to burn Budapest, slay all hostages and then scatter In case the attacks of the bolsjievlst army on Roumanla full or If the Serb-Cxech advance succeeds. Dr. Ladlslas Hildas, a Hungarian professor who has just returned from a six months’ visit in Moscow, says Lenlne declared he would not make peace, but would continue class warfare until the whole world was “one in brotherhood." "President Wilson," Lenlne Is quoted as having said, “does not represent his time nor Its ideals. He Is merely a smoother-over, trying with a pint of oil to still the whole ocean of troubled waters. He does not see capitalism ended. “Neither President Wilson nor the allies can make an enduring peace or solve political and economic problems because a world revolution Is at hand. The destruction as capitalism may cost many lives.” Professor Rudas Is taking a message Jrom Lenlne to Bela Kun, the Hungarian communist leader, urging him to hold out, as bolshevism in Roumanla soon will relieve the pressure on Hungary. Gen. Franchet D'Esperey, in command of the allied forces In Macedonia and Constantinople, has arrived at Arad from Constantinople for the purpose of directing a new attack on Budapest.
