THE AUSTRIAN BREAKUP

Held together by the. might Of the
iron fist, the various elements of the
Austrian Empire and army are
nevertheless strongly bent toward
dissolution CT the ties that bind them
and. particularly, the ties with Ger
many. The detection of three Czech
regiments to the Allies and the for
nation Of legions Of CZechs through
out the armies of the enemies of
Austria indicate that the Bohemians
as.e absolutely opposed to the Austro-
Germanic alliance. Of all the Bo-
hemians in Russia upon the outbreak
of the war only three returned to
fight for Austria.
The Baltimore American directs
attention to the fact that in this
country all the Bohemans are strong
~ upon the side of the United States
and the Allies. This detection OF the
Czechs is but u superior ndication
of the general revolt of the non-Ger-
manic peoples under the Austro-hun-
garian rule. The Poles are IN as earn

voting of war loans and the resent
ment-bitter and cOnstant--over the
report of Germany hanging thirty
thousand Poles makes utilization OF
the Poles impossible, except under

Instead of Russia making d sepa-
rate peace, Austria is c.oser TO a
break up. with inevitable separation
from it's chief ally.

THE SHADE OF "oLD FRITZ"

The Kaiser recently made a speech
to his troops on the western front.
Among other things he is quoted as
saying:
Il am especially delighted to be
able once more to congratulate the
we'll tried dragoon regiment of Bay
reuth Of Hohenfriedeberg fame. The
regiment has fulfilled the eXpecta-
tions of its supreme war lord and ac-
complished deeds which will please
odd Fritz up there in the Elysian
fields"
Orpheus, We are told, played so
skillfully upon his Tyre that he in
duced Pluto to allow him to take his
beloved Eurydice from Tartarus.
"Old Fritz (Frederick the Great)
was performer upon the flute, and
he may be discoursing from his fav-
orite instrument in presence of
Baron Trenck. the man he tortured
for years. cold Fritz" the present
Emperor dreams, is treading the
Elysian Fields, after having been
guilty of shedding the blood OF
thousands of innocent people in order
to extend his. realms and his power.
Won Tirpitz, the author of ruthless
summarizing. is said to be suffering
seriously from. diabetes. He now
has a hoary head, but that he has not
walked in the ways of righteousness
is patent. He planned the attack
upon the Lusitania and the conse-
uuent drowning of many non-cOm-
battants and helpless little ones. 1t
cannot be long before he will join
Zeppelin, who planned raids to de-
strov women and children in Eng
land. What a reunion there will be
in the Elysian fields when Frederick
the Great and the masters in rascal
ity who shave succeeded him shall
meet.

Sufrragists Say They Would Rather

After their trial date had been

as substantiation of oft-repeated talk
in Washington that the militant suf

MOURNING IN TIME OF WAR.

The suggestion is made by the Dry Goods Economist
that during time discard the habit of wearing
black for lost friends This is urged the ground Of
scarcity of clothing materials and the depressing infu
ence of black in time of national sorrow.
fmany must by next year face the loss of their
boys large part of them would doubt like to put
black In times of grief feel certain reserve
about minglng with gay life The black dress is sug-
gesOn that they in and should not be pressed
INTO of merrment.
The wearing of black does tend to person apart
little, and it often makes women morbid. They seek
solitude and avoid their friends too much. They get in
habit of broodng and often become very abnormal 1t
would have been much better if at the start they could
have pucked their courage and gone with their friends
Yet there is question it, merely in war time but
always this attitude is not unWholeSOme and sometime
selfish. 1t does create atmosphere of gloom Many
men, feeling this depressing influence tell their wives
never to put on black for them They hate to leave behind
this perpetual suggestion of funerals
Few black for bereavement, though the GUS
tom of wearing black band the arm is common Men
feel sorrow much women yet forced by the pres
sure of work to leave it all behind them and 90 on day
by day before 1t is better for them and better for
women to do and of doubtful values keep reminding
others that their hearts grievng 1t would not be the
wish of the soldier boys whom shall leave in France
that their bright home country should emphasize the
row 1t feels in any external way.
