AUSTRIA REFUSES
TO FIGHT RUSSIA
HUNS MAY TURN THEIR ARMIES
AGAINST AUSTRlANS BECAUSE
OF DIFFERENCES.
Austrian Premier Declares Austria
Hungary Will Take No Part in
Military Action Against
Russia or Rumania.

Observation-Disclosures evidence OF
the growing strain in relations be-
tween Germany and Austria over the
refusal of the latter to participate in
the renewed attack upon Russia is
given in an official dispatch received
here February q from France. 1t
quotes the Austrian premier as for
mally reiterating February % that
Austria Hungary will take no part in
military action against Russia or Ru-
mania and will not send her troops
into Ukrainia.
The dispatch refers to the meeting
between Emperor Charles and Kaiser
Wilhelm February %, and says there
seems little doubt that serious con-
flict has arisen between the two ma
tiOns, which Germany is determined to
settle by violent measures, if neces-
sary.
The dispatch follows:
Charles paid visit to Wilhelm II
February %. Ludendorff was present
at the interview. If we are to judge
from the tone Of the interview, it must
have been lacking>in cordially. There
seems to be little doubt but what a
serious conflict has broken out during
the week between the courts Of Vienna
and Berlin, conflict which Germany
is determined to settle, If need be, by
violent measures.
"The international situation of the
dual monarchy is such that the Vienna
government, in order to avert a catas-
trophe, has been obliged to distinguish
by means of public declarations it's own
policy from that Of Germany. The re-
port that at the conferences of Feb
ruary IA Hertling and LudendOrff had
decided to pay no attention to the
Russian rehabilitation and to prepare
to begin again the conflict on the east
front caused great stir throughout
Austria. 1t was not simply the dis
senting natiOnalities, the Czechs, the
Slovenes or the Poles, who do not de-
sire to fight any more; but it is the
mass of the population of German orr
gin who refuse to sacrifice themselves
any longer to assure the triumph of
Prussian Imperialism.
| IAN official note of the 18th had
announced that Austria, for her part
would continue to consider the war as
terminated with Russia and would alb.
stain from taking part in the opera.
tons planned by the German command
A second note of the 10Th repeated the
same statement. When asked to give
further particulars at the sitting Of the
chamber on the 22d, the Austrian pre-
mier formally stated:
""The words uttered by different
deputies have proved that the explana
ton which has been furnished up tt
the present by me have not been suf
ficiently explicit. l repeat, therefore
that Austria Hungary will participate
in no way In the military action which
is now being carried on by German!
against Russia. repeat that ther'
is no question of having our troops
penetrate into Ukrainia, with whom W.
are at peace. l repeat that the arms

PEACE REGARDED
AS BEING FAR AWAY
COUNT HERTLlNG'S SPEECH CAL.
CULATED TO STRENGTHEN
HANDS OF MILITARISTS.
No Further Comment Expected From
Administration; Nothing Said That
Would Tend to Modify the
Presidents Views.

WaShingtOn.-COunt Won Hertling's
speech in the reichstag February 26,
continuing the discussion Of the war
aims of the belligerent powers, has not
changed the situation, in the opinion OF
high officials here. Instead Of making
an advance in world peace, it is re-
garded rather as deliberately calculat-
ed to strengthen the hands of the Ger
man militaristic party by endeavoring
to convince the German proletariat Of
the impracticable nature of President
Wilson's war aims, as disclosed in his
last address to congress on Febru-
airy II.
While stating his readiness to accept
the presidents four fundamental prin-
ciples for basis of peace, the German
chancellor dismissed them as idealistic
and unavoidable by insisting that they
must depend for their application upon
the realization of conditions which can
not be met. In the official view, his
treatment of the subject was ironical
and designed for very different ends
than the advancement of peace.
There will be no immediate formal
comment upon this latest contribution
to the debate ON war aims and peace
aspiration. Experience has taught Of
ficialS that important qualifications are
to be found usually in the full text Of
the speeches Of the spokesman of the
central powers.

JAPAN THREATENS
To INVADE SIBERIA
ppoposE JOINT MILITARY OPER-
ATOMS TO SAVE WAX SUP
PLIES FROM HUNS.
Situation Is Regarded by Japanese as
Warrantine Military Action, ana
the Allies Are Invited to
Cooperate With Them.

Neutrality-suspicious. has directed IN
uuiries TO the entente powers ana the
United States government TO test thei'
feeling towards proposal to institute
Joint military operations in Siberia 10
save the vast quantities or war sup
plies stored at Vladivostok ana along
the Siberian railroad. Criticism ut
home of the failure of Japan TO play
a larger part in the war Is sald 10
have been influential in bringing
about the negotiations.
Officials here refuse to discuss thls
subject for publication, but 1t IS I'M
derstood that so far as America Is
concerned, the proposition when hrst
preached was not wholly acceptable,
though the exchanges on the subject,
which are still in progress. may result
in modifying the governments attl-
,tude.
Heavy Supply Stocks.
Accumulated at VladivOstOk are mil
itary supplies of all kinds much or
American manufacture and even great
,er quantities of japanese origin. which
were delivered long before the BOlshe-
wiki took possession of the Russian
government, The Stevens commission
of American engineers made eXtraor-
binary efforts to improve the facilities
of the Siberian railroad SO that these
stores could be transported westward
tfn,. ho Of fhn pnccinn a fha
German and Austrian fronts. A good
deal of accumulation was removed, but
great quantities remain on the docks
and in warehouses and even in the
open. both at Vladivostok and at points
westerly on the railroad. The material
suffers greatly from deterioration
through exposure, but the principal
matter of concern to the allies is the
danger that the stores shall fall into
the hands of the Germans, who may
make their delivery condition of any
peace treaty which they may compel
the BOlsheviki to sign.
Japan Invites Cooperation.
This situation is regarded by the
japanese as warranting military ac-
ton on their part. They are quite
willing to have the cooperation of the
entente and American force and the
problem now before the cobelligerents
is whether Japan shall be allowed to
proceed single-handed if such cam
paign is begun, or whether there shall
be joint operations. 1t has been ar
gued that there should be cOmbina-
ton movement to avoid any question
as to the ultimate disposition of occu-
pied territory in Siberia.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
MAY GO TO SIBERIA
JAPAN CERTAIN TO TAKE ACTION
IN NEAR FUTURE AND Elk
PECTS HELP.
Radical Departure From Established
Rules Of international Law Would
Be Involved in Forcibie En-
trance Into Neutral Country.

WashingtOn.-An early decision
probably will be reached on the mo-
mentous question as to whether Amer
lea and the entente allies shall join
Japan in campaign in eastern ST.
IBERIA to counterfeit possible German
activities in that quarter and save the
great supply of military stores accu-
mulated at Vladivostok and interior
points on the Siberian railway.
It is freely admitted in official cir
cles that this is very great question
indeed. A radical departure from es-
tablished rules of international law
would be involved in the fOrcible en-
trance into neutral country, and con-
sideration must be given to the pos
sible effect upon the Russian people of
such a course in their relations to the
present war. Already there has been
some apprehension that great numbers
of Russian soldiers, rather than re-
turn to their farms and shops, would
voluntarily join the central armies, and
some evidence of foundation for this
fear is found in Berlin dispatches an
nOuncing the entry into the German
army of several regiments of Estho-
mans.
Critical Point Reached.
On the other hand, growing indica-
lions that japan cannot much longer
be restrained from taking some action
in Siberia are causing serious consid-
GRAFTON of the Japanese invitation to
the entente allies and America to par
ticipate. The alternative would be to
withhold from Japan the cooperation
she holds she has the right to expect
and let her undertake, single-handed,
the weight Of the campaign in Siberia
and deal without counsel from the
allies, with the large questions involved
in the future disposition Of any ter
ritOry on the Asiatic mainland which
she might occupy.
1t is learned that the issue is now
approaching the critical point, in the
opinion of the Japanese government,
which has concluded that some such
action as it proposes to take in ST.
IBERIA is imperative as defensive
measure against Germanic aggression
and control of the wreck of the late
governmental machinery in Siberia.
