AUSTRIAN CRASH
Seems ASSURED
Diplomatic Advices Say
That Drift Toward Crisis
is Growing Faster
DISCOUNTED SLAVS
BECOME BOLDER

WASHINGTON, June i7.-That The in
ternstional situation In Austrla-Hun-
gary is slowly but surely drifting to-
ward crisis which looms mp more
threateningly than al any time since
the war began Is the purport Of dlplo-
matlc advlces received here within the
last two weeks
All OF these advices lack specific de-
tails and give so far no definite clue as
TO just when and how the threatened
flareup IN the dual monarchy may be
looked for, nor Is there any trustworthy
Indication as 10 how serious II may be.
But there Is unanimlty Of opinion based
on the best available information that
matters are steadily going from bad to
worse.
The latest developments which are
regarded as having a direct bearing on
the situation are The following:
The beginning Of the Austrian drive
on the Italian front, obviously designed
TO detracl attention. Of the people from
their internal troubles
The hurried departure Of Baron
Burisn, the Auslro-llungarian Foreign
Minister, for Berlin.
The threatened resignation Of several
Cabinet members unless Parliament Is
reconvened at the demand Of The
Czechs.
The increasing boldness OF the Slavs
and Poles IN the face OF German threats
and the resurrection Of the demand for
peace instead Of victories"
This peace Instead OF victories"
slogan made Its appearance IN Austria
Hungary at the time Of the last Austro-
German drive against Italy. When the
news reached Vienna OF the victories"
won by The Austro-German troops.
crowds gathered IN the streets replied
de0antly, I'VE want peace instead Of
The German drive on the western
front had more effect toward quelllng
unrest In Austria-lIungsry than the
drive on the Italian front, it Is ex-
plalned, because the German drive was
so extensively advertised as designed
to bring speedy peace. The peoples OF
Austrla-llungary who were feeling
more and more the economic hardshlps
OF the war and were admittedly tired
of its continuation were made to be
lieve that they need wait only a little
longer TO see the German drive force
peace by the sword
The initial success Of the German
drive added weight TO those promises.
But now It is becoming evident again
that peace Is not to be expected in the
near future regardless Of the fferman
drive and. according to reports received
here, restlveness in Austro-IIungary is
becoming more pronounced than ever
Reports that serious rloting has oc-
CURED in Vienna have reached all the
neutral capitals. according TO informa-
tion received here officials believe that
The most important happenings are
