Violent Measures Proposed BY
Kaiser Over Austria's Re-
fusaI to Act in Russia.
BREAK NEAR, IS REPORT
cxernin R%elterates Intention of Ma.
tion to Keep Hands Off and
Teutons Threaten Force,
so Washington Hears.

Washington, March Further
evidence of the growing strain in re-
lations between Germany and Austria
over the refusal of the latter to partic-
.ipate in the renewed attack upon Rus
STA is given In an official dispatch re-
ceived from France. 1t quotes
the Austrian Premier as formally re-
iterating on February % that Austria
Hungary will take no part in mill
tary action against Russia or Rouman-
la and will not send her troops into
Ukrania.
Serious Conflict Indicated.
The dispatch refers to the meeting
between Emperors Charles and VIII
liam February %, and says there
seems little doubt that a serious con.
fiict has arisen between the two ma
tions, which Germany is determined tu
settle by violent measures If neces
sary.
The dispatch follows:
Charles /. paid a visit to William
IL ON the 22d Of February. Luden'
dorff was present at the interview
IL we are to Judge from the o oil
the interview 1t must have been lack
ing In cordially. There seems to be
little doubt but what a serious con
fiict has broken out during the weeE
between the courts of Vienna anc
Berlin and which Germany is deter
mined to settle If need be by violent
measures.
Forced to Blame Germany.
THE internal situation of the dua
monarchy is such that that govern
ment, In order to avert a catastrophe
has been obliged to distinguish b!
means Of public declarations its owl
policy from that OF Germany. Thu
report that at the conference Of Febru
airy 14th, Hertling and Ludendorff hat
decided to pay nc attention to tn
Russian demobilization and to prepar'
to begin again the conflict on tn
East front caused a great stir through
out Austria. 1t was not simply tn
dissenting nationalities, the Czechs
the Slovenes or the Poles, who do no
desire to fight any more, but 1t is tn
mass of the population Of Germa
origin who refuses to sacrifice then
selves any longer to assure the tr
umph of Prussian imperialism.
IAN official note Of the 18th ha
announced that Austria for her PAL
would consider the war terminate
with Russia and would abstain frol
taking part In the operations planne
by the German command.
A second note of the 18th repeate
the same statement.

PASSES STACKER ACT
House Ignores Protest Sent by

Administration to Continue Its FIGHT
Against Measure In the
Senate.

Washington, March 1.-The House
las passed the so-called alien Stacker
bill over the protest of Secretary
Lansing, by a vote of 344 to 81.
The administration will continue its
fight against the measure in the Sen

debate by Chairman Flood of the for.
eign affairs committee, in which Sec
rotary Lansing informed the House
that treaties had been arranged with
Great Britain and Canada and that
others were neal completion with
France and Italy.
Representative Burnett, Alabama,
author of the bill, replied the State
department had made many similar
predictions eyer since the United
States went to war. He declared that
Congress, as we'll as the State depart
ment, was in duty bound to protect
"the native American from the alien
slacker who would stay at home and
get the Americans job while he went
to the trenches.
Deportation Provided.
The bill as completed, provides thai
any alien who claims exemption from
military service by reason Of his alien
age, shall be deported and shall never
be eligible to American citizenship
This, said Representative Burnett, i:
the furthest the country can go. HI
said that while 1t was legally impos
sible to draft a foreigner, il the lattel
declined, the penalty of deportation
would induce most of them to joiI
the ranks.
