BURGENLAND.
PREPARING FOR KARL. A GROWING TASK. By Electric Telegraph— Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association Received 5.45 p.m., Oct. 7th. LONDON, Oct. 6. The “Daily Chronicle’s” special correspondent at Odenburg states that 12,000 members of the Hungarian gendarmerie, under Lieut. Oszenburg, who is known to be a Karlist, are now responsible for the maintenance of order in Odenburg, with its 40,000 inhabitants. Lieut. Oszenburg may at any moment go over to the irregulars, with whom he is in touch. Irregular bands now number 3000, but can be expanded to 30,000 under Colonel Pronay, wbo Is a ruthless terrorist, and determined to withhold Burgenland from Austria. All the irregulars, however, do not favour the recall of Karl, and his return would probably result in civil war. . There was a time when a battalion of Allied troops could have cleared the country, but now a division would be required, and soon three divisions would be the least that could cope with the task.
