ROME. June 6.--From information now
at hand 1t appears that the speech from
the throne with which Emperor Charles
Of Austria Hungary opened the hrst
session Of the Reichsrat since the
war opened is regarded in well Informed
circles as likely to have far reaching re-
suits, perhaps in the direction Of a sep
arate peace.
The speech followed the lines expected.
but went beyond all anticipations. 1t
indicates that the war may have
wrought the miracle of changing the
Dual Monarchy from an sutocratic to a
rather democratic state. The young
Emperor seems to approve the change
and has purposely refrained from taking
the ath until the constitution has been
altered along democratic lines. as he
suggested.
There Is good resson to believe that
the Emperor favors the formation OF a
federation Of States more or less au-
tonomous. and II he succeeds In salts
flying the aspirations of his different
peoples the danger Of the disintegration
Of Austria Hungary will be lessened.
The Russian revolution and the inter-
ven,lon of the United States are the two
chief causes OF the Empetors deter
minatlon to alter the constitution OF the
empire. thus making possible a sepa rate
peace which. although not alluded to in
this speech. Is known to be his chief
aim.
vatican circles regard the Emperora
uta ~
toward peace since the war began. The
liberal initiative OF the young Emperor
was bitterly opposed by Germany. espe-
cially by the Junkers. who fear that he
is bound 70 democratize Germany In the
same WAY.
