Ministry has been formed, including several Socialists. The Allied Supreme Council refused "to acknowledge the Archduke Joseph, -declaring the Government established by a small group of Hapsburgers was not by the people's will. Mr Hoover urged the conference to -•compel the Archduke Joseph to resign, declaring that the coup d'etat has given great stimulus to Bolshevism. The conference accepted the advice and 'drafted a telegram to the Inter-Allied vVlission instructing it accordingly, but •Mecided to defer its dispatch for 24 hours. Mr Hoover also censored Roumania's attitude. He declared that lier professions of readiness to comply with the 'Council's demands w&re insincere; that she persisted in removing food, and instigated the Archduke Joseph's acces■Bkm to office.
