AUSTRIA SHELVES
REFORM PROBLEMS
Poles, Czechs and SIavs Re-
fuse to Participate In New
Government.
CzERNIN TO SEE KAISER

By the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN. August ia dis
patch from Vienna says that Count
Czernin. the Austro- Hungarian foreign
minister. will leave this evening for
German headquarters, and thence to
Berlin to return the recent visit of
Chancellor Micha e1is.
Problems of reform are tabled and
only new taxation, the passing of the
provisional budget and an extension or
renewal of the arrangement with Hun
gary are included in the program with
which the Austrian premier. DR.. Won
Seydler. will endeavor to carry on his
government
According to Vienna dispatches pros
poets of parliamentary ministry have
vanished entirely, the Christian social
lists. Poles, Czechs and the southern
Slavs having refused to participate in
the government. Vienna political OBJ
servers give Premier Seydler's admin
istration. which will bring the people
more taxes than bread. a short span
of life.
The cabinet may last for time be-
cause the political parties recognize
the necessity of extending the budget
arrangements, which expire October l.
providing additional revenue to pre-
vent open bankruptcy. and of adjust
ing relations with Hungary without
further delay. and because there APP
parently is no politician in sight capa-
BILE of forming another ministry.
Finance Problems Serious.
The financial problems are of the most
serious and urgent nature. The assas-
sinated premier. Count Stuergkh. in order
to dispense with parliament was obliged
to run the war on the basis of lawless,
unsanctioned credit of barely 10000, 000,-
600 crowns Most of the war expenditures
were covered by the proceeds of loans and
the remainder was represented by unpaid
requistions the imitation of circulation
and other shaky expedients.
war profits, property and other taxes Of
a sweeping nature will be submitted by
the new Seydler cabinet if it's life is not
ended prematurely by some new incident.
the absence of working ma jority or op-
position of the Polish members, who are
IN open revolt because of the arrest by the
Germans at Warsaw of Cen Pils,ldski
organizer of the Polish legion, and the
governments refusal to restore civil ad-
ministration in Galicia
The Teuton victories in Galicia and Blu
kowina have thrown a veil over the
promised new order in Austria. The
powers that be find the question of re-
forms far less urgent, owing to the i'm
proved military situation than when SOD
to encourage the Respondent nation was
considered necessary

BILIOUS, HEAOACHY,
 SICK 'CASCARETS"
Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while
 you sleep.
Get a 1O-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness. dizzi- ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath-always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the in- testines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes con- gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick. ening headache.
 Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep-a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv.

Rats and Fires.

At a time when everyone is com blaming of the high cost of living it might be well to see if we cannot elim- mate two great sources of waste-fres and rats.
 Most fires are needless. All rats are so. Some years ago study of the rat problem in Philadelphia arrived at the conclusion that the rodents of that city ate more than a million dollars worth of food each year. At that rate, the disgusting creatures can hardly cost less than $100,000000 per year to the whole country. This is a pret- ty high price to pay for the compan- ionship of impish pests which, besides their other bad habits, undermine floors and carry the most dreaded of all diseases, bubonic plague.
 Yet fires are more expensive than rats. In 1915-the last year for which figures are at hand-the American people paid out in premiums for fire insurance S419,361, ,346. Of this vast sum at least. three-fourths could be saved by reducing our fire record to the rate prevailing in England, France or Germany; and even in our time and nation S300000,000 per year is a saw ing worth noting, and one which would have a perceptible effect on the cost of living.

TAKE OVER VESSELS
United States Authorities Seize
 German Ships.
DEPUTY MARSHALS IN CHARGE
Action Follows Almost Immediately After Passage by Congress of Res olution Declaring That
 State of War Exists.

New York, April 6.-Seizure of Ger nan merchant vessels that took refuge Il Atlantic ports at the beginning of the war began almost immediately af- ter congress passed the resolution de claring a state of war between the United States and Germany.
 The collector Of the port at Boston was the first to act. The federal of ticials at New London, Conn.,, Balti- more, New York and Philadelphia, fol- lowed quickly. In few hours United States deputy marShalS were in charge of German vessels at these ports, rang ing in size from the majestic Vater- land of 54,2S2 gross tons, to small sail ing vessels.
 The port officers acted on orders iS- sued by the secretary of the treasury It was understood that the move did not involve confiscation and that the vessels are held as a measure of safety. There was no announcement as to whether the government should take over the ships for it's use and pay for them after the war.
 Gerlnan vessels now Tn ameflcal ports number 91 with a gross tonnage of about 100000.
 Since the president delivered his war message to congress these ships had been under a heavy guard stationed by the collector of the port.
 Their officers have said that, lying at their docks since the beginning of the war, these vessels have become so fouled and their slips so choked with mud that it would have been virtually impossible for them to get away unless they were extrieated by dredges.
 At various times there had been re- ports that the machinery and boilers had been wrecked by their German crews, but of this there was no official confirmation.
 Chancellor McGovern, after board ing the North German Lloyd steamer Whilehad at New London, said that its engines were apparently in good condi- tion.
 The ships taken over, ports in which they were seized, and their tonnage and value, are as follows:
