BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT

(Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received June 13, 9.5 a.m.) LONDON, June 12. Military disaster has greatly weakened the Austrian Government.

Public opinion at Munich itf that a more Communistic revolution is

planned for June 15, which is looking to Hungary for aid. The Hungarian Government, on the contrary, has been greatly strengthened by its success against the Czechs, whose only powder factory at Pressburg is threatened. The situation is extremely grave, as the Hungarians have cut off the Czechs from the Roumanians.

General Deniken has penetrated 200 miles into the heart of the Don region, taking 15,000 prisoners, and is now nearing the Bolshevist centre Tsaritsyn. The Bolshevists claim the capture of Ufa after a sanguinary three days' battle.

LONDON, June 12

It is reported likely that a Communist Government will be established in Austria shortly.

The Esthonians are retreating^abandoning Wenden, north-west of Riga.
