Herr Ruder, departmental heads of

Kaiser Wilhelm and Emperor Karl.

contents of the military agreement ar
rived at by the German and Austrian
emperors at their conference is await
ed with intense anxiety in Vienna, ac-
cording to a dispatch to the Frank
furter Zeitung from the Austrian cap
ital. The most important question is
whether the agreement is so complete
that the 'Austro- Hungarian army will
be permeated with the Prussian spi-
rit as were the armies of the south
German states after 1866. In this
event. it is added, the alliance would
be deepened and completed in such
manner that the significance of other
political and economic questions would
recede into the background.

There is a feeling in some quarters OF the

view Of the situation and over sell ON the
breaks. There Is very little outside specu-
lation coming in for corn and oats and the

AS local trader expressed 1t, it is a con-
tinued winding up and unwinding that
keeps trade in nervous condition Sharp
pressure of cash grain makes nervous
and cratic action of the market. A few
of the grain traders are disposed to be
bullish and are buying on sharp declines
and taking profits on quick rallies. They
say its time to take a positive stand on bull

will dictate Austria -Hungary's policies
as long as the method of suzerain rule
keeps the Austro-Hunsarians from
archy, as we'll as the attitude of
Vienna toward the German peace in
the east will be under management of
the Berlin d, militarists; and for the
time being Emperor Karl must be re-
garded as little more than a viceroy.
This sacrifice made by the Haps-
burgs, the proudest ruling house in
Europe, can have been accepted only
as last desperate expedient to save
itself perhaps even from the fate of
the Romanoffs. The change of front
is all the more humiliating to Haps-
burg pretentions because Karl had
previously tried to make himself in
dependent of the kaiser's influence.
Must Handle With Care.
1t is improbable that German con-
troll of Austria Hungary will be ex-
erciSed SO as to compel Austria-H Hun
garian forces to fight along the west
front, except perhaps at a final gam
BILE with fate. The Germans realize
that they now control Austria Hun
garian policies only because of the
dangerous ferment proceeding among
the antagonistic elements in Karls
two kingdoms.
The growing hatred of the Germans

Germany must face in Austria Hun
gary. Any slaughter Of Austria Hun
garian troops for German purposes
in Picardy and landers might be the
final blow needed to cause a revolu-
tonary outbreak. If German ruth
lessness is used to restore order in
Austria Hungary, Russia's example of
regnant anarchy may be followed by
the Hapsburg domains.

Amsterdam, May 15.-The Frank
furter Zeitung, approving the new
Austro German alliance, which it says
is an absolute necessity to the German
people admits that large part of the
Slavs in Austria. especially the Czech
Slovenes, will oppose it; wherefore it
may not be exactly a simple matter to
get the alliance passed in the lower
house. The paper suggests, however,
that it is possible to win the Poles
question with the Union of Galicia to
new Poland and adds:
THE necessities inherent in these
things are strong enough to overcome
the obstacles, and when the war is
ended by a peace which gives the CEN
trail empires their rights, even our op-
ponents must see that the course of
the worlds history cannot be stopped
by stubborn protests.
The Tageblatt believes that the
treaty precludes cooperation of either
with Russia and Japan or
a REINFORCEMENT with Great Britain
or any other new constellation.

MORE WARS TO COME
German Professor Predicts Future
Conflicts-DefendS Gas.

Amsterdam, April Is (by mail).-
Professor Haber, head of the Chemi-
cal Research Institute of Berlin, has
just been awarded the Bunsen medal
for a lecture on the Relationship of
the Exact Sciences to Militarism %
The medal. it is stated, is no longer
made. of gold, but of the best Ger
man steel. as is appropriate to the
times"
The lecturer argued that the war
has established the necessity for the
closest cooperation between men of
science and military organizers and
leaders. He said that this co-opera-
ton will be necessary as long as wars
remain necessary, and that will be for
long time" s
Describing the development Of tho
use of gas in warfare. Professor Ha-
Der said: "Gas attacks arose on both
sides out of the requirements of the
situation. Turnout history, attempts
have always been made to smoke out
the enemy when a war has become
stationary. The reason why the use
of gas is disliked by our enemies is
that the use of projections against
gas attack calls for a special measure
of discipline and intelligence in the
common soldier"

Kings of Bavaria and Saxony Become

Ludwig of Bavaria and King Fred
erick August of Saxony seem to have
been participants in the great head
quarters conference of the German
and Austrian emperors. altho appar-
emily neither was invited to be pres

in the Munich Neueste Nachrichten,
which says:
THE hour is grave and Bavaria can
not leave Prussia to be the whole ar
bitter of German destinies. King Lud-
wig, therefore, decided to proceed to
headquarters. The departure of the
king of Saxony to take part in the ne
gotiations-a participation which was
not desired in Berlin circles-was due
to the same cause"

of the Hapsburg empire has been
compelled to subordinate itself to
German control in what is apparently
final effort to prevent the breaking
up of the dual monarchy.
The visit of Emperor Karl TO the
kaiser's field headquarters and an
nouncement that new treaties are be-
