Coalition Cabinets Contemplated.

The German newspapers are devot-
ing much attention to the political
affairs of Austria and Hungary, and
say that the formation of a coalition
cabinet in each country is contem-
plated. According to the Weser
Zeitung of Bremen, the Austrian
ministers have become panic-strick-
en-, and fearing that the roof will fall
on their heads. are ready to make
concessions to the separatist parties.
Won Hussarek, the Austrian premier.

and carry out reforms in the direction
of liberalization where he believes
liberalization will result in Austria
Hungary quitting the war, terminal
ing the alliance with Germany and
lead, in effect, to the dissolution of
the dual monarchy.
kilograms from Vienna report that
a great sensation was caused by the
speech of the Czech deputy Stanek,
who expounded in the reichstag the
attacked Germany and Hungary. The
speech created a wild uproar among
the German deputies, who accused
Stanek of treachery and shameless
disloya1ty, and the president called
the offending deputy to order. But
fined to the chamber and led to a
movement to combine the Christian
socialists. the German socialists and
the Viennese progressives with the
German national party in common ac-
ton against the separatists.

pest state that the demand for the
formation of a coalition cabinet in
Hungary becomes more insistent and

this front since the beginning of the

built. The rebuilt bridge structures
include those which the Germans de-

few days ago.
The engineers after making the
roads passable just to the north oc
the line of attack, have since moved
forward long trains of material and
modified their forces for such further
work as may be demanded.
The roads are yet far from good,
but motor trucks, wagon trains and
marching men are able to pass over
them, and the engineers who have
been studying the maps express their
confidence that the task ahead of
them will be much simpler.

POLITICAL STORM
SHAKING AUSTRIA
Hussarek May Be Succeeded

Leading Peace Advocate.
new MOVE FOR FARLEY

LONDON, October 5-Reports from
Swiss and German newspapers indicate
that great political disturbance is
going on in Austria-Hungary. 1t is
stated that the position of Baron Won

shaken and that he is likely to be sue
ceeded by Heinrich Lammasch, who is
one of Austria's foremost peace advo-
Gates.

Vienna correspondent the German par
ties in the reichsrath are sending their
leaders to the emperor to urge drastic
changes in the constitution in the direc-
ton Of liberalization with self-determi-
nation for the German races in Austria.
The correspondent adds that Count
Czernin and representatives of the con-
stitution parties in the upper house also
are going to urge the emperor to adopt
a similar course of action.
The Budapest correspondent of the
Vossische Zeitung reports that Premier
Wekerle has requested Count Julius An

Albert Apponyi and Count Stephen
Tisza. Count Andressy, however, will
only consent to enter coalition cabinet

cording to dispatches received here.
The resolution follows:
Representatives of the working
classes of Austria recognize the right
OF the Slayic-latin nations of Austria
to dispose of their fate and they de-
mand the same right for the German
people in Austria. We recognize the
right of the Slavic nations to con-
tinue themselves as autonomous
states. but we absolutely repulse for
ever the submission as German terri
tory to these national states.
I'VE demand the reunion of all Ger
man regions in Austria into one Ger
man-Austrian state, which will have
the right to regulate it's own rela-
tons toward other nations according
to it's own necessities. We are ready
to discuss with representatives Of the
Czech and Slavic people on the basis
Of the transformation of Austria into
a federation of independent national
states. Should such proposition be re-
pudiated we shall fight energetically
to prevent by all the means at our
command that the constitution of the
German people in Austria or that of
certain of its groups be regulated out
side by the power of state or the
words Of foreign conqueror."

would do to the villagers when they

According to the villagers. many
German horses have died in Flanders
because there was no food of any kind
for them, and the German automo-
biles all are running on their rims
because the Germans have no tires. ,
In Flanders today the advance of
the allied troops seemed slow because
the bad roads and soggy ground made
it almost impossible for them to ne
gotiate the terrain at many places;
The soldiers fighting here are caked
