NASUAL reading of newspapers now
q adays would alone tend to suggest
that something big Revolutionary
in quiet way--is occurring in England
through the agency of the British labor
party. In the first place, the statements
attributed in the last week to Arthur Hen
derson, leader of the Labor party, arc OF
peculiar interest. According to one dis
patch from London, Mr.. Henderson was
asked what he expected to develop from
the labor conference held at Nottingham
from January % to 25 The dispatch
runs
"He answered RevoluNon!
"He spoke in a serious manner, his heat
down in the peculiar bulldog manner OF Brit.
ish fighting politicians, but he looked up i'm
medately and smiled.
"'There's a revolution coming all right,
he explained, but it will be bloodcss af-
fair, entirely POLITICAL
lust before the conference convened an
other Henderson statement appeared pre-
dieting peace through labor's efforts:
1--WE are expecting to get into confer
ence that will result in peace settle
ment."
At the time of this statement Mr.. Hen
derson was reported to have sent circu-
lar to all the delegates, enunciating the
labor party's peace aims, as previously
published, and welcoming the six main
peace principles laid down by the de factc
Russian government. The circular de
elared that all the Socialist parties in
Europe We're now in accord in essentials
and agreed with the Bolsheviki. $50, also u
it added, Judging by his published state
ment, does President Wilson"
If these comments are not striking
enough to arrest attention one need only
to review the acts of English labor in the
past month to realize more fully the power
that Mr. Henderson's party now eXerts.
In that time British labor has adopted a
platform of peace aims more radical than
the "war aims" of Lloyd George, which.
were given in an address to labor men has
issued manifesto to the Russian people
backing up the Bolsheviki; and has COM
PEELED Premier Lloyd George to unbend
and discuss in open meeting with labor
men such things as peace aims, Stockholm
and the general conduct Of the war-a

TIME Austrian unrest appears at
length to be entering upon a con-

"HE Austrian unrest appears at
length to be entering upon a con-
dition so acute that almost any
extreme may result. Press dispatches
during the early part of the week tended,
many of them, to discourage undue faith
in the reliability of what still more or
less partook of the nature Of plain rumor.
But these dispatches were steadily &C.
buked by succeeding reports bearing fresh
evidence of impending revolution. AS the
week wore on the Austrian situation on-a
strike in munition plants, riots demanding
peace, etc.-seemed focusing toward some
definite consummation. According to an
Associated Press dispatch of Tuesday from
London, based upon Swiss reports, the
strike was settled on Monday. But an
other London dispatch of the same date
asserted that the strike still continued and
had spread over practically the whole
country.
1t has been assumed, too, that the
strike was due to scarcity of food, and so
was extensively commented upon in that
sense; but, according to Zurich dispatch
of Tuesday, the strikers were not impelled
by any economic motive at all, but were
only seeking to prevent the prolongation Of
the war for the sake Of annexations. Final
ly, London again apparently looked at first
with suspicion upon the whole story of
a strike, guessing that it had been "stage-
managed by the government; by Wednes-
New-York tribune., 1918-01-27

Perhaps the Russian propaganda is also
having some effect. At any rate Austria is
supremely war weary. And the Russian
leaders will foment if possible a revolution
in Austria. Should the war continue much
longer the collapse and disintegraton of the
odd empire would not be astonishing"
"The Daily Kennebec (Me.) Journal
sees that austria realizes the meaning of
Americas weight when she is already
breaking under the strain of hunger, war
WEAKNESS and discomfort that presages
dynastic overthrow"
'The Brooklyn Daily Eagle is some
what cautious in view of many previous
reports predicting that Austria was on
the verge Of collapse, but arrives at the
conclusion that 'Austria-Hungary is fac
ing real crisis just now. Austria-Hun-
gary is hopelessly bankrupt Aus
tria may be forced to go on for little
while, but she is now more of liability
than an asset to Germany"
''The Washington Post" is skeptical. 1t
writes:
"Short-sighted friends of peace argue that
the internal 'debace in the Dual Monarchy
is setting in, that the authority Of the CEN
trail government is on the wane and that. in
consequence, the military effort of the Allies
may be relaxed. 1t is sufficient, they argue,
to allow Austria Hungary to stew in her own
juice; revolutionary movement will set in,
and she will collapse Of her own accord"
To which the editor remarks: ''There
could be no greater error"
New-York tribune., 1918-01-27

"a mighty wind is blowing across the
Austrian frontier off the Russian steppes,
and on it, like the rich, pungent earth III
on the wind of spring night, swings that
most thrilling of all odors-the breath of
liberty
"The st. Louis Post~Dispatch' con-
cludes that "Austria has become doubt
full asset to Germany" and "The New
York Evening Post" has this hopeful ut
terance:
"Signifcant as events in Austria Hungary
may become at any moment for everybody
concerned, they have a peculiar meaning for
the men at Petrograd; for here at last is the
promise of that which the Bosheviki have
been hoping for"
"The Philadelphia Public Ledger" draws
this conclusion:
"The Vienna strikes reveal how desperate
the internal conditions even in Austria are
becoming, how the patient endurance of
great prvations and suffcrings is nearing
an end. Austria may hang on because there
is nothing else for her to do But if she does
collapse it is not likely that even the Ger
man military party will see much hope of
victory.'
''The Boston Evening Transcript" is i'm
pressed by the widening rift between Aus
tria and Germany:
Germany cannot proceed without Austria,
and at this moment it does not look as if
the Austrians will ever again march against
Russia Rumania.

The "Elastic Defense"

The boche is making mu chof his

formants on a recent visit to Switzer-
land. BY this plan his front lines are
very thinly held. few men only being
scattered along them in very strongly
fortified positions, equipped with ma
chine guns. Only n direct hit can put
these positions out of action. The walls
are even padded with layer upon layer
OF old papers and carpets and what
not. in order to deaden the concussion
Of shells exploding nearby. The theory
is that when the enemy ends his bonn
open there will be enough of these gun
cabins left to take an enormous toll in
life.
1t is a good theory. But the British
say its weakness is that there are too
few gun cabins left to make the theory
work. I believe the Britons. One can
not be fooled by men who tell you this

counterfeited.
The Americans see Fritzie's whole
line being blasted out of all resem-
btlance to anything earthly. They see
his gun cabins wither away and his
fortified farms beaten down fiat with
the level of the earth. and his veno-

British Always Go Through.

Then the Americans can see the Brit
ish soldiers go "over the top and the
best of luck as they cheerily sing to
each other. They see Mr.. Atkins prowl
along. with his nose in the barrage"-
which means that his facial item is
only a few yards outside the potential
range of fragments from the bursting
shells-and watch him with great en-
joyment bomb the few unclosed holes
in which the remaining boche may
hide. Now and then he Is held up, as
he was in the neighborhood Of Pass

become frenetic and despairing. but in

That is the spectacular part OF the

immensity and the grandeur of the war

session of that vast heritage Of expert

three years of war. The less spectacu-

Where Imagination Fails.

It is that sort .of thing our young

They learn that at noon exactly he will
