To Form New Cabinet
Former Premier Asks Austrian
Emperor to Give Task
to Another

Amsterdam. June Count Henry
Clam MARITIME, Premier OF the Aus
trian Cabinet which recently resigned,
has failed in his attempt to reconstruct
the ministry, according TO dispatch
from Vienna. The count has asked En-
reror Charles to invite some one else
to form n Cabinet.
His failure bears out recent intima-
tions OF serious political situation in
Austria. Since the resignation Of the
Cabinet Count MARITIME. at the
Emperor's request, has been attempt
ing TO form coalition ministry, but
evidently has been unable to satisfy the
opposition groups. some OF which have
been most outspoken in their hostility

Cabinet was due largely to the revolt

French Socialists
Tell Germans Terms

Albert Thomas. Socialist member Of
the French Cabinet, has exchanged
peace notes with representative of
the German Social Democratic party, il
was said in dispatch from Stockholm
Yesterday TO "The Jewish Daily For
ward" of this city.
The newspapers correspondent at the
Socialist conference said the French
delegation had made plain the condi-
tions on which they would consider it
possible to make peace. These were
stated in communications TO Or. David.
leader in the majority delegation OF
the Social Democratic party in Ger
many. The gist of the conditions was
set out thus in the dispatch:
Accepting in principle the pro-
gramme OF the Council of Workmen
and Soldiers Delegates of no annexa-
tons and no indemnities, they would
still insist on indemnities for damage
done, and would refer the question Of
Alsace-Lorraine TO referendum Of the
populace.'
The situation is a hard one. But
look at the other side. Congress has
done its part in granting vast powers
10 build ships and to seize anything
necessary TO this end. A small frac-
tion Of these powers are needed at
once to commander certain ships being
built for Sweden and nearing completion.

A concentrated attack upon the Ger
man fleets at Kiel and Wilhelmshaven
by a huge fotilla Of large, high pow
cred torpedo planes will end the sub
marine menace and win the war. in the
opinion OF Rear Admiral Bradley A.
Fiske, retired.
In a letter to Alan +. Hawley, pres
ident of the Aero Club OF America,
Rear Admiral Fiske sets forth a plan
for the organization of a gigantic uni.
of swift torpedo planes and the estab-
lishment of base in the North Sea, by
means OF which, he believes. the Ger.
man fleets may be destroyed and the
British obtain control of the shallow
waters near the German coast. thus
preventing the egress of submarines.
At a meeting Of the board of gov
ernors of the Aero Club yesterday it
was decided to make the plan public
and 20 transmit it to the Council OF
National Defence. the Aircraft Produc
committees on Military and Naval Af-
fairs Of the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives at Washington.
Value of Concentrated Power
Rear Admiral Fiske, in his letter,
points out that the British torpedo
'plrnes which sank four Turkish ships
in the Sea of Marmora in August. 1915,
anA those of Germany which sank the
British steamer Gena on May l last,
were of considerable size and power.
"The German Naval General Staff
realizes the value Of concentration Of
power and mobility in as large units
as possible" he said. "The torpedo
plane embodies a greater concentra-
ton Of power and mobility than does
any other mechanism. For its cost,
the torpedo plane is the most powerful
and mobile weapon which exists at
the present day.
"An attack by Allied torpedo planes,

from fighting aeroplanes, would be a
powerful menace to the German flee:
and, if made in sufficient plumbers,
would give the Allies such unrestricted
command Of the North Sea. even of the
shallow parts near the German coast,
that German submarines would be pre-
vented from coming from German
port, the submarine menace abolished
and all chance of German success wiped
out.
Advantage with Germany
81 beg also to point out that an in
spection of the map of Europe shows
that in the air raids over land the
strategical advantage lies with Ger

the Germans in going to London for
raids on naval vessels.
However. the strategical advantage
over water lies with the British, be-
cause their control of the deep parts
of the North Sea enables them to es-
tablish a temporary aeronautical base
of mother ships sufficiently close 10
tho German feet 20 enable the British
to launch a torpedo plane attack from
it on the German fleets in Kiel and
WIhelmshayen, while the Germans
could not possibly establish an aero
nautical base sufficiently close to the
British feet.
Details of Plane Attack
This gives the Allies the greatest
advantage Of the offensive. II would
seem possible, provided a distinct eff
fort is made, for the Allies to send
large number of aeroplane mother ships
to a point. say. fifty miles west of He'll
goland, and for large force of fight
ing aeroplanes and torpedo planes to
start from this place about two hours
before dawn, reach Kiel Bay and VIII
helmshaven about dawn, attack the
German fleets there and sink the Ger
man ships.
"The distance from Helgoland to
Kiel is about ninety land miles, and TO
Wilhelmshsven about forty-five.'
In urging the necessity for immedi-
ate construction and organization work
to this end, Rear Admiral Fiske points
out that the arrival of the Monitor
twenty-four hours after the Merrimac
had caused terror TO the North IN the
Civil War prevented the Confederacy
from winning the war. Had il appeared
