Legislators admit that the seed-grain

that the counties, under the present

the state, where the seed situation Is
worse. a number of counties already

On the other hand, many believe

The new shell dives when it strikes

The two conspicuous enemy figures

n,anding the mountain front, and
General Boroevic, commanding along

General Boroevic is the junior mar
shall and his passing owe Won Hoet-
zendorf. is in the nature of a disgrace
probably growing out of the opera
tons on this front. Field Marshal
Conrad Won Hoetzendorf retains the
command on the mountain front. He
has represented the extreme element
opposed to Italy and as chief of the
Austrian staff sought to provoke a
collision with Italy during the Tri'
politan val and has even been charg'
ed with using the Messina earthquake
as a pretext for Austrian Intervention
in Italian affairs.
Geenral Boroevic's tactics on the
Italian front have been uniformly de-
fensive; rarely offensive. For two
years on the Isonzo front he main
tanned a defensive and took the of
fensive only when German reinforce
ments compelled an advance. Since
the formation of the new Piave linz
his policy has been chiefly defensive
The appointment Of General 30

CRY FOR PEACE
BRINGS CRISIS
TO AUSTRlANS
Great Importance Attached
to Upheaval in Austro-
Hungarian Empire.

London. Jan. 22.-The strike move
ment which assumed such menacing
dimensions in Austria on Sunday, was
virtually ended Monday morning when
the strikers either resumed work or
held meetings at which a decision was
reached to go back to their tasks to-
day. according to news agency dis
patches from Switzerland Before
this, however, the strike and the food
demonstrations accompanying it had
spread throughout the whole empire,
including Galicia and had everywhere
assumed a political character with the
demand for peace taking precedence
over everything else.
London. Jan. 22.-Austria-Hun-
gary's cry for peace, accompanied APP
revolt. is featured by the morning
newspapers as a fact that is hurryins
the dual monarchy to a crisis. Long
dispatches from Amsterdam show
that the workers nave become desper-
ate because of lack of food and gen.
eral war WEAKNESS.
There is an evident connection OF
the strike movement with The nego-
tiations at Brest-Litovsk, which have
that the war shall not be prolonged
merely for the purpose of territorial
aggression.
While most newspapers here at
tach the greatest importance to the
upheaval and some infer that the
Austrian government is encouraging
the movement in a genuine endeavor
to create peace. the fact that the CEN
sorship has permitted reports to be
t~elegraphed from Vienna with un-
wonted freedom, suggests to other
commentators that there may be a
deliberate purpose behind the license
allowed in Vienna.
Reports from Switzerland mention
the arrest of peace demonstrators at
some places in Austria. Clashes be-
tween hungry civilians and soldiers
are reported, while in some instances
it is said the soldiers refused to fire
on the demonstrators when ordered
to do so. At Graft. where the trouble
is acute. the soldiers abandoned :heir
