The German-speaking 'district of Western 'Hungary,"' known as the Burgenland,

was formally transferred . to Austria last Saturday in accordance with the Treaty of the .Trianon. 'A few Magyar officers, commanding a force of irregulars, sought at the last moment to defy the Allies, after the manner of Signor d'Annunzio at Fiume and M. Korfanty in Upper Silesia. These adventurers, led by a Lieutenant Hedjas, seized the town of Oedenburg and threatened to murder a British officer attached to the Allied Mission. It is, however, unlikely that Hungary will forfeit the good will of the Allies by giving any kind of support to this movement,• which seems, indeed, to be collapsing already.
