AUSTRIA NEARING
ENTIRE COLLAPSE
Failure to Form Cabinet But
One Of Many Signs.
DISNTEGRATON IS PROBABLE
Various Races ClamOr for hide
pendence- Berlin Menaces.
By JUDsON c. wELLIvER.

LONDON. June 22.-Austria's ram
shackle government is fast nearing a
collapse, according to reports from
many sources. The failure of Count
ClamMartinic, the premier, to form
a cabinet only emphasizes the fact
that the government is beset on all
sides by demands so widely at vari-
ance that 1t is impossible to satisfy
even the minority. Austria's ruling
class looks with alarm into the future.
Count Clam-Martinic faced a verit-
able babel OF tongues in his desperate
attempts to form a provisional gov
eminent to pass the budget and seems
to have found the task impossible. He
was unable to depend upon firm sup
port from any of the heterogeneous
elements OF the dual monarchy.
At End of Rainbow.
To neutral observers, whose re-
ports are coming daily into England,
It looks as IT, Austria has finally
reached the end Of the process where
by she ruled a dozen different peoples
in the Interest Of the German and
Magyar minorities.
Count Tisza tried TO govern by bully
ing and failed; Count Clam-Martinic
sought power by dividing parties and
throwing his opponents into con-
fusion. His failure equals Tisza's,
leaving the young Emperor Charles
facing another crisis. The Poles,
Czechs. and Slavs are crying for in
dependence or autonomy. The sub
ject peoples are bringing forth the
skeletons Of old wrongs and ex-
pressing their sentiments regarding
the right OF division by races, not
hesitating to embarrass the govern
ment by far reaching demands.
The Czechs demand the establish
ment of an Independent Bohemian
state which shall be founded on prin-
ciples utterly Incompatible with the
policy. while the Southern
Slavs want a great Slavic state which
would undoubtedly absorb most OF the
Balkan elements.
Profoundly Affected
The Poles have been profoundly af-
fected by the Russian revolution, per
ceiving that the resurrection OF Po- |
land is not merely a day dream. They !

all the Polish people. which would |
mean that Germany and Austria as
well as Russia should give up their
Polish provinces.
The Poles OF Austria refuse to dis |
their opposition to the gov
until they obtain a civilian
government for Galicia and also cab
met portfolios for Polish members Of /
tlse Reichsrath. 1t is underst sod that
Clam Martinic offered them the port
ToIios OF agriculture and justice. but
The Poles Insisted on a Polish minister
along with the other troubles fac
ing Austria comes the menace OF Ger
many, where the press continually al
udes to the fact that Austria has not
any territory by her own
Inaided efforts and therefore should
give Germany compensation at the
md OF the war.

send working men home on Saturday

shall be content"
Mr.. Purnell agreed with other speak
ers that the food supply will determine
the outcome OF the war.
1t was Mr.. PurneIl's maiden speech.
His rapid-fire shots at the food situation
Included:
i want to get at the middleman, the
Spectator. the food pirate and unscrup-
uous dealer. Because a dealer stands in
the middle there Is no reason he should
collect from both ends.
Il want to see fatter stomachs on
the men with pick and shovel and
thinner jowls on the speculator who
grabs and boards.
Flag On His Wind Shield.
There is no valid reason why
potatoes should sell at $40 per
bushel in England and at S3.TO per
bushel in the United States on the
same day.
why should flour sell at $500 in
England and $17.6O in the United
States, since flour in both places was
made from American wheat?
Il would jail the Ponce de Leon
who follows no flag except the one
on the windshield OF his limousine
and endeavors to inject perpetual
youth into cheap eggs.
Il want to make IL impossible for
any man or set OF men to pile up the
visible supply OF any food product
until It rots, while children are at
the same time crying for bread.
ITO my mind the full stomach Is
the great need of the hour.
Il am willing TO swallow whatever
is bad in this bill II in so doing the
people may be relieved of burden
some prices.
Let's take up the slack between
the producer and consumer. destroy
the lost between them and thereby
help them both"
willing to Trust Hoover.
Congressman Purnell discussed
fears expressed in the House that
this man Hoover shall prove to be
an autocratic food dictator" On the
question OF Mr.. Hoover, the Hoosier
Congressman said he was willing to
take a chance on the dictatorship and
to trust the President and Hoover.
The smiling face OF one Belgian
baby rescued from starvation said
Mr.. PurneII, tells me more OF the |
character OF the man than the lsIum |
of suspicious persona. !

We have entrusted the President
