isfactory in England. There as in the
United States, the laboring classes,
and their children, unable to invest
in the bonds of larger denominations,
do take pride and patriotic satisfac-
toin in investing their small earnings
in BABY bonds" for they realize that
they are thus helping to win the war.
Already the effects of the educa-
tional features Of the propaganda are
being felt. Parents and children
alike are learning to save. They are
lending to the government and at the
same time are putting more money
in the savings banks.
Basil B. Blackett, of the British
treasury, in an address to the Amer
lean Bankers Association advised
that the working people of small saw
ings capacity in England, Wales and
Scotland have lent their government
$4OO,0O0,0OO out of sixteen months
savings.
Mr.. Blackett speaking of the lar
ger features of the campaign said:
"The war savings movement has in
the first place increased savings bank
deposits during the war. Still more
important, it is educating vast new
army of future clients for savings in
stitutions after the war. Finally, 1t
can not fail to be of enormous signi-
ficance in the future state of England
that one in every four of its popula-
tion, at the very least, is a direct
holder of government securities"

ZURICH. via Paris. June 1.-THE
Polish Deputy Daszlnski declared In
the Vienna Reichsrath that more than
80, ,ooO Poles have been hanged by
order OF the German authorities, ac-
eordlng to the Vienna Arbeiter Eel
iung which prints special detalls OF

Deputy striberny also described the
abominable treatment accorded polit
cal suspects, whereupon the Pan-Ger-
manlst Deputy Heine shouted: They
haven't used the rope enough; all OF
them ought to have been hanged"
At these words all OF the Slav and
Polish. members rushed upon Heine
and the President was obliged to sus-
pend the sitting in the midst OF tre-
mendous uproar.
BASEL. Switzerland. June 1s (via
Paris).--A Vienna despatch says that
the Austrian Cabinet has resigned.
COPENHAGEN (via London). June
1.-THE revolt OF the Poles in the
Austrian Parliament is described by
the Vienna correspondent OF the
Vossische Zeitung as having produced
crisis In which the position not
only OF Premier Clam MARITIME, but
also Count Czernln. the Foreign Min
lister. is threatened.
A majority OF the German papers
treat the news OF the situation with
the greatest reserve and the Govern
ment organs in Vienna hold out hopes
that the crisis may be overcome by
granting a few ministerial posts to
Polish and other Parliamentarians.
The Vossische zeitung correspondent
says the detection Is sufficient TO
turn the scales against the Govern
ment. since the rest OF the slav bloc
already Is In opposition. The Poles
indicated the seriousness OF their in
tentions by a decision to vote against
the budget, being the first Parlia-
mentary group in any belligerent
| country. aside from a handful OF ex-
treme Socialists. in refusing TO vote
war credit.
The insistence OF Premier Clam
MARITIME on Saturday that the Poles
should Immediately show their colors
is described as due to the initiative OF
Count Czernin, who Is unable to
carry on the foreign policy OF the
Government while uncertainty re-
garding the attitude Of Parliament
continues,
The Polish aspirations, which re-
Gently have been indicated, aim at
practically an Independent kingdom
openly on an antl-German basis and
have evoked marked dispieasure In
Germany. even the Cologne Gazette
rebuking the Poles sharply.
