GERMAN AUTOCRACY
SEES HANDWRITING

Amsterdam, March 17--Unrest in
Germany against mllitarist repres-
sion of the people has been violently ac-
CELEBRATED by the success of the Rus
sian people in casting off the yoke Of
centuries.
Even those elements or the German
people who favor autocratic control of
the fatherland have been affected by
the news from Petrograd, seeing there
in the failure of German plans and the
certainty that instead of Russia grow
ing weaker as the war progresses, she
is likely to grow stronger with a new
government animated by united deter
mination to do its best against Ger
many.
German newspapers containing the
chancellor's speech of Wednesday at
ternoon increased the impression
among observers OF German affairs
here that the German government IT.
self is apprehensive of this unrest
among the Teutonic people.
IMPRESSIONS AT VIENNA.
Dispatches from Vienna today de-
clared the Russian revolution had
created a profound impression there.
That the government did not regard

continuance of the military autocracy
was indicated in the return to the Aus
trian capital of the emperor and the
departure from Berlin for Vienna of
Imperial German Chancellor Won Beth

Meanwhile, German newspapers hail
the chancellor's speech as one of the
most mon entOus in German history.

the Prussian diet on this occasion So
calist speakers bitterly denounced the
government and the Sins of those in

when the nation would arise and sweep
"junkerism" away.

Amounts Set Aside for the
Other Departments of
State Allowed to Stand as
Fixed by the Legislature.
GOING OVER OTHER
BILLS BEFORE HIM
Appropriation Measures AS
sembled and Each Item
Carefully G h e c. e d i
Agreement on Items to Be
Vetoed in the Appropria-
ton Bill.

The appropriations for the attorney
general. secretary of state and state
auditor will stand as made by the last
legislature, but the appropriation for
the governor will be cut $3.50. This de-
cision has been reached by the gov
ernor. The appropriations for all Of
the departments are lower this bien-
MUM than they were for the last two
years. That of the attorney general is
lower than any Of the other depart
ments, for a greatest reduction was
made for this department when the
budgets were drafted than for any of
the others.
1t is understood the cut In the gov
ernors appropriation was partly made
on the secretary's salary, the increase
proposed in the budget being stricken
from the measure. No cuts could be
made in the budgets for the other de-
partments, due to the fact they have
already been pruned until they could
not stand another cut.
WORKING ON APPROPRIATIONS.
The governor is working on the 9TH
err appropriation bills. They have all
been assembled and for the past sew
eral days each item had been carefully
checked to ascertain whether or not
any of them could be stricken from the
bill. With regard to the educational in
stitution bills it is understood an
agreement has been reached as to the
items that are to be vetoed. Just
what those items are the governor so
far has not sen fit to announce. Until
the bill Is approved in toto or in part,
or vetoed, it will not be definitely
known just what action has been talk
en-.
When the appropriation bills are out
of the way the task of disposing of
the pending measures will not be
found SO difficult The governor has
until Thursday of next week in which
to act on all pending measures. BY
that time it is authoritively announced
they will be disposed of either by re-
ceiving the governors approval or
veto.
WORKING DAY AND NIGHT.
The force at the governors office
and in fact the heads of the several
elective or executive departments
have been working day and night with
the governor on the bills passed by the
legislature. In signing or vetoing bills
the governor has made liberal use of
the advice of the attorney general and
other department heads.
So far today no bills have been sign
ed or vetoed by the governor, but the
chief executive will be at work on the
measures until a late hour tonight, it
is understood. when definite action
may be taken with reference to them

RESIDENT STILL
HOPEFUL STRIKE.
WILL BE AVOIDED
Has Faith Mediators Will
Be Able to Prevent Clash,
but Prepares to Meet Any
Situation.

Washington, March 17.-President
Wilson believed today there will be no
railroad strike tonight.
On the contrary, he thought that the
mediators he sent post haste to New
York yesterday afternoon would pre-
vail upon both sides of the impending
rail trouble to adjust their differences
peaceably.
This confidence did not lull him into
inaction. He is studying means of ac-
ton to prevent railroad and business
paralysis with its consequent suffer-
ings for thousands and thousands of
citizens.
LOOKING INTO PREcEDENTs.
Legal presidents, presented by his
advisers, have been carefully studied
and it was the White House impression
that the president would be enabled to
take strong steps to check the strike.
Whether he would be able to put the
roads under full martial law was I'M
certain, though the precedents showed
he has power to do that in event of any
violence on the lines.
In any event, his friends said, the
president does not propose to let any

prices, shortage of supplies and gen

ADAMSON LAW DECISION.
Aside from the probability that the
presidents mediators may draw sat
isfactory settlement in New York,
there is the possibility that the su-
preme court will hand down its Adam
son law decision today.
Should this decision be favorable, the
trouble would be~swept aside and the
railroads compelled to comply with the
eight hour statute.
The fact that President Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor had
not Joined the mediators last evening,
came to light overnight, but it was said
that he would serve with the others
today.
