Washington, March Further
evidence of the growing strain in re-

over the refusal of the latter to partic-

STA Is given in an official dispatch re-

the Austrian Premier as formally re-
iterating on February % that Austria

ia and will not send her troops into

Serious Conflict Indicated.
The dispatch refers to the meeting
between Emperors Charles and Will

seems little doubt that serious con-

tions, which Germany is determined to
settle by violent measures II neces.
sary.
The dispatch follows:
Charles |. paid a visit to William
II ON the 22d OF February. Luden-
dorff was present at the interview.
TX we are to Judge from the tone OF
the interview 1t must have been lack
ing In cordiality. There seems to be
little doubt but what serious con-
flict has broken out during the week
between the courts of Vienna ana
Berlin and which Germany is deter.
mined to settle IL need be by violent
measures.
Forced to Blame Germany.
''The internal situation of the dual
monarchy is such that that govern
ment in order to avert catastrophe
has been obliged to distinguish by
means Of public declarations It's own
policy from that OF Germany. The
report that at the conference of Febru
ary 14th, Hertling and Ludendorff had
decided to pay no attention to the
Russian demobilization and to prepare
to begin again the conflict on the
East front caused a great stir through
out Austria. 1t was not simply the
dissenting nationalities, the Czechs
the Slovenes or the Poles, who do mo-
desire to fight any more, but 1t is the
mass of the population OF German
origin who refuses to sacrifice them
selves any longer to assure the tri
umph of Prussian imperialism.
"An official note of the 18th hat
announced that Austria for her par
would consider the war Terminated
with Russia and would abstain from
taking part In the operations planned
