ZURICH, Feb. 12.-Austrian
workers, before taking up their
tools following the recent Austri-
an strikes, did these three signfi-
cant things:
Laid down conditions Fore
ing Foreign Minister Czernin
to adhere to the Wilscnian
program.
Sent q delegation to En-.
peror Karl. who stated:
"Peace is my only aim day
and night"
Formed . permanent com.
mittee to maintain q watch
on the government and force
ii to keep its promises.
The same causes which unchain-
ed the strike continue. Another
and graver social disturbance is
possible any day.
The Austrians want peace and
are opposed to dying for pan Ger
man dreams of conquest.
An Austrian official now In
Switzerland declares Austria Is
ready to accept President Wilson's
peace terms.
The Austrian rulers are afraid
of the future, especially IL the war
continues.
The strong, new Hungarian
party plans a separate Hungarian
army. The Karolyi party refuses
to join the government party, be-
cause it wants an Independent
Hungary. The Tisza party is I'M
decided.

WHEAT SUBSTITUTES
MAY BE DECREASED
Liberty Bread to Be Sole Flour
Conservation

The National Food Administration,
which released housewives and public
eating houses from wheatless pledges
zen aay ago, is expecting word from
Food Administrator Hoover, now In
conference in England with the food
directors of the allies. which may
make 1t possible to discontinue The
requirements for the purchase OF
wheat substitutes with fiour. These
requirements are still in effect, but
the Food Administration hopes to. gel
on straight liberty bread basis
shortly.
Many instances have been reported
where wealthy people bought double
the amount Of -four they should have
purchosed, donating the equal amount
OF substitutes they were forced to
buy with Il to charity, and still have
their usual -four requirements. The
Food Administration regards these
"philanthropists as disloyal'. -

NEW LIGHTSHIP NOW
AT DIAMOND SCHOOLS
Navy Believes U-Boats Plan De-
struction of Coast Marks.

Within "a hours after the sinking
Of the Diamond Shoals lightship off
Cape Hatteras by hostile SUBJ
marine, another vessel of the same
type yesterday was on the job flash
ing its warning of hidden sandbars
to coastwise shipping.
This shows the military advantage
gained by Germany in her latest u
boat attack. The Diamond Shoals
was sunk by gunfire. but the crew
took to the small boats and reached
shore in safety. The submarine, ac-
cording to reports to the Navy De-
partment, came within half a mile of
the shore, but there was nothing par
ticularly daring in this, fnasmuch as
1t faced only dreary waste of sanI.
In view of recent performances of
enemy undersea craft. many navy
officials see a change in Germany's
'U-boat campaign on this side of the
ocean. Secretary Daniels suggested
that the destruction of the lightshfp
indicated that the two or more under
water vessels believed to be in coast
wise waters may have planned to
destroy buoys, lightships and other
coast precautions in connection with
their general campaign of destruc-
ton.
Thus far, with the exception of the
loss Of the San Diego. which was sunk
by a submerged mine. the damage
done by the U-boats has been insig-
nificant. The fact that the sub
marines on this side are seldom. II
ever. using the torpedo. their chief
weapon. indicates a campaign Of mine
strewing all along the coast, and pot
shots at small vessels. in the opinion
Of navy officials.

Fismes Practically

With the Americans on the Vesle.
Aug. THE City OF Fismes. drenched
with gas, is practically unoccupied,
but the Americans maintain their cor.
don around the outskirts. while the
Germans are raining shrapnel and
high explosives into the town and rak-
ing the streets continually with bursts
OF machinc-gun fire from the heights
on thre sides of the city. German B.
inchers and S-inchers are extremely
active hurting shells from north OF the
Aisne on the American back areas. at
tempting to break up our transport.
but rain is barring aerial observation
by either side for fire control.
Our men and their horses are wear
ing gas masks while getting artillery
into position to blow out the German
batteries and machine gun nests.
So far our patrols. roaming about.
are facing hot machine gun FIRE. which
frequently TANKS and enfilades them
from nests. The Germans have
pounded to pieces the bridges that
were left. and are firing continually
upon the foot bridges empiaced by
the American engineers.
The impression along the front is
that the crown prince is merely spar
ring for time on the north bank ot
the vesIe, German prisoners asserting
that the bulk OF the material has
been removed to the north OF the
Aisne, although two German divisions
are working hard constructing strong
points on the heights north Of the
Vesle. but evidently only for delay
ing purposes.
American reconnaissance patrols
who worked their way far into the
German lines return with inforlu1-
tion regarding an ingenious series OF
machine-gun emplacements and held-
gun batteries on the heights.
Another German division has ap-
peared opposite the American lines.

Simple Decorations.
All the decorations were of the
simplest-no elaborate floral scheme,

dollhouse blooms except in the bou-

to the whole Company immediately
after the ceremony. and where lovely
pink roses-the new radiance" rose
glowed in delicate beauty. The Blue
Room was done entirely in white filow-
ers, the bay window where. the eere-
mony was performed being banked
with ferns, sprayed with white phlox
and gladioli.
