AUSTRIA PASSING
THROUGH CRISIS.

One of the facts of internal char
acter and wide import that appears
in the general military situation is
the weakness of Austria, nor is this
a criticism of the valor or the abil-
ity of the dual monarchy to do a
full part. 1t has done and can do
more. The fact that it is recruiting
into its ranks the very dregs of its
manhood, in the lack Of better mate
rial, is doubtless one Of the reasons
for the success of the Russians IN
their present drive. The internal con-
dition in the dual monarchy is crltl-
cal, and indicates that the union
that normally is sentimental, rather
than substantial, is now upon the
point of breaking. The military
writer for the New York Times thus
sums the matter up.
"The situation is extremely dis
uuicting to the Teutons, for they
have reached a most crucial point IN
their history. A rift in their ranks
at this time will bring about destruc-
ton. Needless to say, Russia is do
ing all in her power to augment the
differences between the two parts Of
the empire. 1t may be that more can
be done by playing on this pollt-
ical disaffaction than by force OF
arms. This, of course, Russia is in
an excellent position to Judge. If III
her opinion great pressure on Hun
gary would cause the split, We may
sec her ut her strength into the
Carpathian passes as means OF
dealing a death stroke to Tcutonlc
hopes"
As the Baltimore American sug-
gcsts, this may be one of the rca-
sons that the British arc now looking
for an end to the war within a fc"
months. Disunion would mean very
much more than the military sue
cesses made upon the west side.

probably could have prevented Hol-
land from selling the Dutch West
Indies as easily as she prevented
Denmark from selling the Danish
West Indies a few years ago, but to-
day Holland most likely could nego-
tate the sale without Berlin's inter
ference or without fear of German
anger. After the war, it probably
will be much more difficult for the
United States to obtain central OF
the Islands and the chance of cen
fury may be lost.
Hollend needs money today, and it
is likely she would name considera-
ton as reasonable as the price for
which Denmark is willing to dispose
of her possessions.

THE DANISH
WEST INDIES.

The announcement made yester-
dav that the United States will soon
acouire the Danish West Indies has
been read with satisfaction by all
nconle of this country. This govern
ment has been endeavoring to pur-
chase these islands from Denmarh
during the past two score o. p''le
wears. and Denmark has been Wiling
to dispose of them, but Germany mas
,frowncd upon the purposed transfer
and up to the present time mas peeh

smaller European nation as to pre-
vent tie acquisition of the lsiaho'

GERMANY'S
"HOLY WAR"

The following words occur in the
latest speech credited to the German
Emperor:
Comrades: 1t is your especial priv,
ilege to fight against the English
which means that you are fighting
against nation that has sworn to de-
stroy Germany.
The English built up during the
years before the war the combination
of countries which at given signal
fell upon us, attacked us, the most
peaceful and peace desiring people in
the world. English led us to believe
they were our friends when they were
actually plotting our destruction.
English diplomacy brought about
the war, and now an English offensive
is intended to carry the operations to
German soil, into our towns and vii
lagos, to the peril and undoing of our
HELPLESS women and children. Your
duty is to break the English offensive;
to prove once more that Germany is
invincible, and reduce to despair the
relentless enemies of our country so
that they will sue for peace on terms
honorable and profitable to Germany.
Most of the Teutonic apologists in
sist that the European conflict was
not precipitated by Prussian militar-
ism, but was forced on a peaceful
nation; that it is not prosecuted to
the misery of Germany in order to
vindicate Junkerism and to strength
en- Hohenzollern despotism, but is re-
garded by the whole German people
rs holy war. Occasionally, however,
a report reaches this country that
puts the matter in a very different
light, and reveals the existence of
German views that directly contradict
he officially nurtured holy-war theory.
These views are forecfully express
led in recent article by MaXimilian
Harden in his paper, Die Zukunft, of
tune %, translated in the New York
Times of Sunday. Harden is, perhaps
he most powerful and most feared
writer on the Continent, and he is
crtainly the most dreaded thorn in
he flesh of German autocracy. Now
lie attacks German censorship of the
acws and holds up to ridicule some
# the stories spread broadcast among
he people. And at the very end of
lis article, he makes a statement OF
ar more significance to the outside
world than his complaint of the CEN
;orship.. He says:
Right and left the foe is listening,
but nowhere can he detect the voice
If the German people. Could he but
near it, we should be near to peace,
which is possible today, which only a
miracle could make better.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch in
his connection says if German CEN
;orship is so strict as to prohibit the
of German mass
thought, then II must prevent inc
of real conditions from
.eaching the mass of Germans. That
voice which Harden says is now for
peace must, then, be raised because
Of the state of affairs within TIC en-
pire. But no censorship can prevent
forever the spread of knowledge, and
so the German censorship will fail,
eventually. Then the German peo-
pie will learn the true situation, and
their voice will make itself heard
even by the Kaiser and Prussian Kul-
tur.

PEACE BASED ON TERRORISM
Roman Legions Enforced Order on the
Nations They Had Conquered
and Laid Waste.

There is great deal of misapprs-
hension and misinterpretation of the
historical settings of the coming of
Jesus. The age is described as an age
Of peace, peace throughout the world
under the imperial sway Of Rome.
There was peace in the sense that all
kingdoms had been subdued by Rome
and attached to her empire. This was
the wonderful "Pax Romano" But
among the millions of souls who made
up that empire there was anythin.
but peace. Cruelty and oppression
reigned. Half the population of the
empire was slaves.
Scholars point out the fact that
Rome had extended her empire. not
by destroying the nations, but by link
ing their wealthy families with Rome.
thus establishing community of in
terest against the poor people and the
slaves, whose toll enriched this aristo-
cratic, plutocratic minority. 1t was q
league of all the rich people in the
world against all the poor people in
the world. The poor lived in constant
fear of the rich, and the rich lived in
constant fear Of the poor. Insurrec-
tons were taking place in all parts
of the empire. But the masters had
the Roman legions at their disposal.
and by the power of arms kept the
poor and the slaves in their place

KEEPING THE TRENCHES DRY
sitions Which the French Are
Occupying.

The French made their trenches as
comfortable as possible for the benefit
# the troops during the winter months.
Many of the trenches are paved and
the water was kept out of them by
means of powerful pumps. There are
drain pits which have been sunk along
the whole length inside the trenches,
and the pumps are used to force the
water from these pits to the outside.
!. The walls OF the trenches are
strengthened with hurdles to prevent
landslides. The bottom of the trenches
are carefully beaten down, leveled and
covered with plank or straw, and the
,earthen roofs are made stronger by
sheets of zinc. The heating, which is
adequate. is furnished by charcoal bra
siers. Farther back from the trenches,
along the second line. are erected lit.
tie wooden huts, built with double
walls to keep out the cold, with slate
roofs, and in most cases with flowers
raised above the level of the ground.
The beds consist of wire netting
stretched over wooden frames, with a
covering of straw packing and sup
ply OF warm blankets.
In the huts stoves are furnished.
Fuel is very plentiful and easily OBJ
tanned because the shells of the enemy
have scattered huge branches from the
trees and splintered them ready for
burning The soldiers are given two
good meals a day, and in the case OF
