Hungarian government forces fighting against the attempt of former Emperor Charles to regain the throne have won pronounced successes against the Carlift forces, it was announced in reports to the government today. The reports stated that the town of Raab had been recaptured and that the Carlists were being attacked in the rear. This attack, It was stated, was being lead by Baron Pronay at the head of the West Hungarian insurgents, who had hurried to the government's aid. Other reports show that hand gren

ade fighting had begun after midnight near Torbagy, 30 miles from Budapest. Government circles were greatly heartened, by news of the recapture

of Raabs and by reports of the opera tions of Baron Pronay.

The foregoing dispatch, filed by the Associated Press correspondent in

Budapest this morning indicated that up to that time at least. Former Em-' peror Charles had not entered Budapest, and that a hard fight with, at any rate, some measure of success, was being made to keep him away from the Hungarian capital. . LONDON, Oct. 24.

Reserves Right. It is stated in well-informed quarters that Great Britain reserves the right to support the "little entente" Jugoslavia, Czecho-Slocakia in any action it may take for the expulsion of the ex-ruler from Hungarian territory. It is reported in Hungary that the British high commissioner there has declared the entente will construe the

continued presence of Former Emperor Charles in Hungary as a casus belli, says an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from the Austrian capital today. The ex-ruler is reported to have declared that if the entente adhered to its policy of "suppressing the will of the Hungarian nations," then he, as the legitimate king, would sever relations with the entente. PARIS, Oct. 24 War clouds seem to be gathering over Hungary as a result of former Emperor Charles' return to that country and his attempt to establish himself upon the Magyar throne. Jugoslavia and Czecho-Slo-vakia, member nations of the "little entente", are understood to be mobilizing forces to bring pressure to bear upon Hungary to expel Charles, while

NOTE TO POPE IS CHALLENGE, LLOYDJEORGE Says Publication of De Valera Message Constitutes Grave Provocation Alleged Display of Flags Scored.

PREMIER IS IMPATIENT

(By Associated Press) LONDON, Oct. 24 Premier Lloyd George, answering a question in the house of commons today regarding Eamonn De Vaiera's message to Pope Benedict, said the publication of DeValera's message, especially in the middle of the peace negotiations, constituted a grave challenge. ' "The position of the government on the question involved in that telegram, 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." Sir Thomas Sennett asked whether the Sinn Fein colors were not displayed over the door of the house occupied by the Sinn Fein delegation, and whether this was not a great

provocation to the people in that

district.

Mr. Lloyd George replied that he had been assured the colors were not i displayed, but If they were, he quite agreed with Sir Thomas's observation.! Mr. Lloyd George then added: "I cannot imagine why all the follies are being perpetrated at a time when there is a real desire to negotiate for peace. It seems as if some people re doing their very best to make this impossible." Continue Conferences. The conference between members of the British cabinet and representatives of the Dail Eirean was resumed here today, but there was evident a feeling that the situation was such as to give ground for concern among those hopeful for an adjustment of the Irish controversy. Michael Collins, minister 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 belief that Mr. Collins had gone to Dub-

PALLADIUM NEWS BtRKAU , WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. Two weeks ago Republican leaders in the senate were of the opinion that a tariff bill would be passed by the senate before the first of next year. The same opinion is not being expressed today. It is doubtful if a new tariff law will have been enacted much before the first of next March. The principal snag the tariff bill has struck in the senate is the so-called American valuation plan. This plan is included in the bill which the house

Everywhere except in irreconcilable quarters, hope that the conference would continue was expressed this morning, and it was argued that, with good will on each side, a way out of the difficulty created by Mr. DeValera's message to Pope Benedict could be found. At the same time it was contended that if the Sinn Fein representatives indorsed their leader's words it was hardly possible to see how a rupture of the conference was avoidable.

Communication between Budapest and the outside world has been interrupted for the last 48' hours; and what news has been learned has come by roundabout routes, and are taken with reserve in entente capitals. It is believed, however, that Charles has not as yet entered Budapest, although his forces, marching eastward from Burgenland, on the Austrian frontier, are reported to be nearing the Hungarian capital. Admiral Horthy, the Hungarian regent, is believed to be firm in his determination to expel Charle3 from taat country, and reports received here indicate that troops under his command have remained loyal to his government. Dispatches state that working men's delegations have called upon the regent and assured him of their support in the fight against the reactionary elements seeking to reestablish the monarchy.
