FEELING IN HUNGARY

A VIOLENT SPEECH

INVASION OF TRANSYLVANIA

URGED

LONDON, July 3.

The Balkans correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says that M. Koezihorvath, a. Hungarian deputy closely connected with the Government, in a violent speech against Rumania in the Hungarian Parliament, urged Hungary to invade Transylvania (the western province of Rumania acquired from Hungary after the Great War) and protect her nationals.

He added that Germany and Italy would support Hungary. Amid great excitement, members shouted, "Bring back Transylvania" and "Hail, Bulgaria!" and sang the national anthem.

Addressing a meeting of the Government Party after an adjournment of Parliament for the summer vacation, the Hungarian Prime Minister, Count Teleki, said: "The Government will maintain a constant watch on the situation, which is changing daily. Hungary's standpoint is based on the triple interests of Hungary, Europe, and Christianity." The Budapest correspondent of the Associated Press reports that Hungarian military preparations have reached a high peak. Black-out .lights, he says, are strung along the streets, and all omnibuses have been requisitioned for the transport of troops.
