PEOPLE SICK OF WAR
In Austria and Germany They
Cry For Peace-Serious Riot
ing in Vienna

From the 8. f. Journal of Commerce
The year ended with the warning
forces of Europe ~deadlocked in the
east and the west. Alull in fighting is
announced, but there is a continu-
alton of the daily slaughter in the
different war zones.
In Servia, where the war began, the
people are celebrating their victories.
proud that the last enemy has been
driven from their land. 1t is
announced that the Serb army will
enter Hungary. attacking those por-
tons of the country in which Serv-
ians do not p~redominate. This is to
be done with the idea that Servian
residents of Austro-H Hungary do not
need conquering but will join their
mother country when opportunity
offers.
In both Germany and Austria there
are manifestations of popular discon-
tent with war and growing clamor
for peace. In Austria, in at least six
provinces, the people are rioting, de-
handing peace. In Vienna the police
have been compelled to suppress the
peace demonstrations by the use of
clubs and guns. The peace demand
is insistent throughout the country.
In Galicia and the Carpathian
mountains the Austrian armies are
still hunting cover and attempting to
reorganize.
In Poland, the Russian army is
holding the line on both sides of the
Vistula and making small gains. Ger
many claims to expect victory here
and announces the probable evacua-
ton of Warsaw. Petrograd, on the
other hand. claims that. as soon as
the ground freezes hard the Germans
will be driven out of Poland.
In the West the Allies have been
taking the offensive at all points but
a London dispatch announces that
the loss of life in this movement has
been too great to justify its continu-
ance The Allies, it is said, will
crowd the German lines only enough
to keep as many Teuton troops in the
West as is possible, so as to relieve
Russia. By this account, which ear
not be given full credence. the Allies
expect to let Russia do the hard
fighting.
From Holland come reports that
the papers r taking up the demand
of the United States for recognition
of the rights of the neutral nations
and there is evidence that all neutral
countries are now in line to give
moral support to this demand.
The question of the right of the
neutral nations seems to ~overshadow
the war activities in the minds of the
Allies and of the Germans as well.
The warning nations are in a guam
dairy, not knowing whether to yield to
these just demands and allow the
neutral nations to gain a strong hold
on the commerce of the world, or to
deny the demands and risk the un-
friendly action of the neutral nations.
In Congress the suggestion has
been made that, in the event of a
denial of the demand of President
Wilson, the President be empowered
to stop the export of war munitions
and supplies to all warning nations.
This would cripple every one of the
fighting powers and might compel
a consideration of peace, if the same
action were taken by all American
nations.
While there is no announcement of
peace negotiations anywhere. it is
still considered probable that the
subject may be preached within a
short time.
The year ends with honors about
even in the war and with only Aus
tria a loser. Austria is in q bad way
