MORE WAR YET,
THINKS AUSTRIA

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The opinion in
Austria is that the war will last two
years more, according to DR.. Paul
Martin. who was in charge Of Amer
| lean surgical units in Austria until
relations were broken. DR.. Martin is
here making arrangements to take
another unit to France.
There is decided feeling in Austria
against German policies, says the New
York Times, but in DR.. Martins view
there is little likelihood Of a reVolu-
ton In Austria, "for in the event Of
an outbreak Germany would send In
tremendous army and crush the up
rising"
The nation, though suffering from
economic troubles as well as from the
war, has 1900, 900 reserves, DR.. Mar
tin asserted. This reserve" he add
ed, 'is not composed of able-bodied
men. Statistics show that 80 per cent
of Austria's wounded go back to the
front. That means that a great many
who are unfit are returned"
Concerning the supply Of food
stuffs, DR.. Martin said:
! Food is very limited. The people Of
Austria are not starving, but they feel
poignantly the lack of good nourish-
ment. Clothing, too, is extremely
high In Austria, so the civilian popu-
iation Is not properly clothed. Shoes,
for instance, are four or five times
above the ordinary cost.
Not only are the civilians feeling
this want Of food an: of clothing, but
the. soldiers as we'll. They are COM
ing back from the front bearing every
appearance Of being underfed and un.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 23.-It
IL believed that the war department
will defer calling out the national
guard until August I. instead Of in
three classes as was planned It has
been pointed out that to call out por
tons of the guard would be unfair to
the officers summoned to the colors
last, as they would then be ranked
by others OF similar grades who had
been fortunate enough to belong to
the commands that were called out
first. For this reason and for others
II has been decided to summon the
guard to duty with the federal army
all at the same time so that there
may be no distinction.
