Amid great excitement Dr. Wekerle, the premier, warmly replied that he would oppose by evry means Count Karolyl's threats of a revolution and added that there could be no talk of a separate peace. Dr. Wekerle asked the house to reject Count Karolyl'a re'solutlun on the ground that the government would shortly introduce in-troduce a hill dealing with the matter. He added that Hungary could not conclude con-clude a peace separately from Germany and declared that the Germans were helping on the Hungarian front. "Where arc they fighting?" came cries from all sides of the chamber. "At all points," Dr. Wekerle replied, "where the-y are protecting the Integrity of our frontiers. The government Js endeavoring en-deavoring to bring home Hungarian regiments regi-ments and already has taken measures to that end. The government is unable to recognize the belligerency of the Czechoslovaks, Czecho-slovaks, but regarding a south Slovak state It does not object to a union of Croatia, Bosnia and Dalmatia. These stares, however, can not separate themselves them-selves from union with the crown of St. Stephen."
