'Apparently the attack is a prelude to important operations, as eight Hungarian columns are converging on the disputed zone.—A. and N.Z. Cable. A FORMIDABLE MOVEMENT HUNGARIANS DEFIANT LONDON, September 10. (Received September 12, at 8.45 run.)

Li addition, tho position is complicated owing to tho Magyars still officially holding tho capital of tho province until Austria pays certain alleged liabilities. Tho militarist loaders have established themselves there, and _aro defying both the Allies and Austria. Vienna reports express scepticism regarding the Hungarian Government’s protestations that it is unable to CQntrol tho militarist loaders. The Austrian Government regards tho position as one calling for prompt allied action, as it is feared that the militarist successes will give a groat impetus to the movement for the reinstatement of ex-Emperor Kail—A. and N.Z.
