THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1918.
AUSTRIA WANTS PEACE

So many and SO devious are the ways by means Of
which Germany has sought to influence world opinion
that If it were not for the knowledge which the world
has of conditions in Austria we might assume the repeat
ed. pronouncements of a more or less peaceful nature
emanating from Austria were mere feelers sent out in
directly by the German government for the purpose of
sounding public opinion without the appearance of that
government itself as a party to the proposals. But we
know enough about the conditions in Austria to under
stand that there is a very strong and very real desire
on the part of the Austrian government for peace. AS a
matter OF fact, Austria never was very enthusiastic about
going to war. Her rulers were perfectly willing>to bully
little Serbia, believing, as they did, that they would have
sufficient backing from Germany to prevent a general
outbreak. But when it became apparent that her insist
ence on the outrageous terms demanded from Serbia,
Austria was willing, and more than willing, to modify
her demands. Had it not been for the insistence of
Germany. Austria would have compromised matters IN
such a way as to avoid a general war.
This reluctance to engage in a general war was due
to no pacihsm on the part Of the Austrian court party.
The ruling element was willing enough to steal territory,
and to destroy the independence and the very existence
Of a helpless little nation. But Austria Hungary is not a
nation. It Is a bundle of dissinilar and hostile elements
held together by bonds which arc always in danger Of
being torn asunder. Every sane person knew that the
participation of the empire in a great war would be the
signal for renewed activity on the part of Czechs, slavs,
Magyars, and all the other racial elements that have been
held in subsection to- a Gernanic dynasty and a Ger
Germanized court. It was certain that the empire would
be rent with revolutionary movements, and there was no
assurance that it would not speedily be split up into frag-
ments.
Austria was kicked Ito the war. She has been held
IN the war by German domination. And = Is evident
that her rulers are awake to the fact that the. integrity
Of the Austrian empire concerns Berlin very little. There
Is the object lesson Of what happened in Russia when the
country was split up into fragments, and it is quite rea-
sonable to suppose that the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Aus
trian empire would be followed by the assumption OF
supreme power in that country by the kaiser. Hence the
Austrian rulers know that they need look for little help
from Germany to compose their internal differences.
Accordingly, we have had various peace speeches
and letters from persons in authority in Austria, and the
recent declarations Of the Austrian foreign minister are
in line with what we have learned before. To save her
self from destruction from within Austria would be will.
ing to make peace and save her scalp If she were only
permitted to do so by Germany. In the meantime he,
rulers are moving as far and as fast in that direction as
they dare.

YET WE'RE NO + YlNDlCTlvE

One of the war correspondents has observed. in the
American soldiers at the front, a fercer and more brser
animosity against the Germans than is displayed nv the
British. or even by the French troops i. The observation
is probably correct, and the correspondent was right in
calling the fact a curious one, for, as everybody knows,
Americans are not a sanguinary folk; they are not at
all given to hating other races, and our men certainly
have not yet suffered anything like as much from Ger
many's peculiar methods of waging war as have their
companions in arms. OF German atrocities they have
seen few instead Of many, and therefore at first thought,
and even at second, there lis something mysterious in
their special eagerness to "get at" and kill their antag-
onists.
The mystery, however, is not beyond explanation.
Psychologists have established the law that emotions to
which there has been an adequate reaction by deed tend
TO disappear, while those to which such reaction has been
denied have an equal tendency to become the stronger in
proportion to the length Of the. denial. For almost four
years the British and French soldiers have had constant
opportunities to react in response to, the stimuli supplied
nv German treacheries and cruelties. They still hate, be-
#cause the reaction has not been sumcient, as yet, fully to
satisfy the emotional demand. but q good many Of the
Saold scores have been wiped out, and the natural conse.
s5quencss a That their thirst for vengeance and their desire
ITO punish has decreased rathsr than grown.
