Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg visited
Vienna.
Now comes the news that Emperor
Charles is Off again TO German head

That the condition Of Austria IS
grave cannot be doubted. There have
been many indications recently that the
Young Emperor was anxious for peace.
Early in aJnuary it was reported thai
he had sent special peace envoy to the
Vatican. After the Russian revolution
a report was circulated that Austria
was seeking an armistice.
Austria's internal policies also m
dicated big changes in'foreign poleE

BY FRANK II. SIMONDS

The latest British Official reports
suggest two very important possible
ties in the situation on the front be
tween ST. Quentin and Arras. The fall
Of Croiselles. southeast of Alras. points
toward the future evacuation of the
outskirts of Arras. now held by the
Germans, with a subsequent retirement
to the Douai- Cambria front. while the
progress made by the British about st.
Quentin equally strongly points toward
ar evacuation of the city itself. To-
gether these movements point toward
German retirement from the So
called "Hindenburg line"
The retirement from before Arras
would involve the surrender OF the city
