Food Conditions Said tc

fRv Associated Press.l

London. June -zC.-Vtennaa papers
are quoting a Socialist party mani :
resto which declares that workers
and small office holders in Austria
are attheir wits emo to maintain an
existence because Of the food sltua-
tion in the monarchy, says a Central
news dispatch from Amsterdam to-
day.
In many Austrian towns the mani
festo declares, these classes are
threatened with absolute famine
while similar conditions prevail in
Prague. the Bohemian capital, and in
towns in Galicia. The situation is
declared to be terrible at these points
" here the population has not seen
bread or potatoes for weeks.
Amsterdam, June 2O.-Messages
arriving here from Germany and
Austria make it clear that the latest
troubles in the dual monarchy over
the food situation have been un-
euualed since the beginning Of the
war. The agitation throughout the
country is growing enormously ac-
cording to these dispatches, and the
authorities in Austria Hungary re-
gard the situation with the gravest
apprehension.
The Austrian premier, DR.. Won
Seydler, in a statement to the press
representatives at Vienna, has an
nounced that as a result Of the re-
cent negotiations the German gov
ernment declared itself ready to ad-
vance to Austria certain quantity
of grain and he added some hundreds
of wagonloads were already on the
way.
Germany had thus again proved its
fraternaI attitude in the alliance, he
continued, but the supply in Austria
was still so scanty as to make it i'm
possible for the present to remove
the restrictions on the bread rations.
The Hungarian government also
had promised to send foodstuffs.
especially considerable quantities of
new potatoes.

London, June 21.-Earl Curson's

might Immediately seized upon in
the lobby as an admission Of a
breakdown in the governments Irish
policy, indicating, as it did the
abandonment for the present at
least, OF any attempt to introduce a

mornings newspapers as a sensa-
tional development and is made the
theme Of sharp comment.
Home rule is dead; Irish con-
scription is dead" says the radical
Daily News, land the whole Irish
policy Of the government has fallen
crumbling to the ground.
From the openi g to the close Of
this last wretched chapter in the
history Of the Irish question the
government has been consistently
disingenuous, vacilating and dila-
tory. Out Of 1t all one result has
emerged, black and unnistakable-
the destruction of the power Of the
constitutional party and the en-
thronement Of the anarchy Of the
Sim FNein." 1E
The Unionist morning paper says:
"The government once more has
burned its fingers very badly by a
mixture Of rashness and incon-
stancy. What will be the effect of
this abject surrender to Irish dis
content and the arrogance of the
Irish Catholic hierarchy remains to
be seen. Every new departure and
experiment in the Irish policy brings
us back to the bedrock fact-the
necessity and the inevitability Of the
maintenance Of the union"
The rigddly partisan newspapers
are hardly less severe. Irish priests
and gosstps have played a leading
part in killing both home rule and
conscTtption," says The Daily Ex-
press.
