Frontier Clash. LONDON, July 2.

The Bucharest correspondent of the British United Press says that Rumanian and Hungarian troops are reported to have clashed today on the frontier in the Satulmare Province. According to military circles, Hungarian soldiers were killed when they attempted to cross the frontier. A message from Bucharest says that Dr. Argetoiauu, Foreign Minister, giving evidence before the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee, said: “All our friends and allies advised us to accept the Soviet ultimatum in order not to create a new war in this part of Europe. Russia in the first and second ultimatums declared that the return of Bessarabia and North Bukovina must be unconditional, but, despite the advice of our friends, we sent a Note to the .Soviet suggesting negotiations for easier conditions. The Russian reply described the Rumanian Note as evasive and set a time limit for the acceptance of the demands.”
