SERIOUS CLASH
HUNGARIAN AND CZECH SOLDIERS VILLAGES TAKEN AND RECAPTURED Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, December 19. (Received December 20, at 2 p.m.) The Vienna correspondent of ‘ The Times ’ says that an official message from Bratislava states that an Hungarian regular and irregular force engaged Czechoslovak soldiers at Slanek, in Eastern Czechoslovakia. The irregulars opened fire, the regulars reinforcing them. They occupied the villages of Muzmise, Silvas, Slanek, and Kalsa, but the Czechoslovaks threw them out with the loss of two Customs officers and one wounded soldier. As a result of the clash the Slovak Frontier Commission has been ordered to interrupt its negotiations with Hungary regarding demarcation until satisfaction is obtained. Viennese official quarters see significance in the coincidence of the engagement with Count Ciano’s visit to Budapest. ________
