WOULD KILL HAPsBURGs

A state employe, who was excited by events in Berlin, asked the correspond. ent, if, according to American ideas it would not be a good thing to assas- sinate the royal family and also to over. turn forcibly the Austrian republican governments, that are too conservative. It was with difficulty that he was made to understand that Americans obtained governmental changes by orderly voting.
 Some observers here insist that 1t is the duty of the United States not only to scatter a feF-- .nilitary officers through. out HS%sfnpire in the guise of missions, but also to send American citizens with blood ties in the former empire and speaking the various tongues for the purpose of undertaking propaganda to explain how American politics are guided by reason and not by force, and also that republics do not fight with each other. Otherwise, these observers say, the peoples of the former empire will never settle down. It is pointed out that during the best days of the empire the Hapsburgs kept order only with the greatest difficulty

enemy airmen, the general said, but
at times they are too busy else
where to afford adequate protection,
with the result that German air
planes have absolute freedom. At
times, he said, the Germans flew so
low that the Americans were able
to fire at them with reVoIVers
General Wood fully discussed the
situation from the time that ne
left this country up to his RETURN
said Chairman Chamberlain, in a
statement after the Conference. "e7e
discussed ships, man power OF ooth
France and Great Britain and the
necessity for activity IN America IN
AETNA men to the front. He real
ICES that more ships are absolutely
essential to success, not only Tor
the purpose of taking over men,
but IN transporting supplies to the
allies.
"The general had some critl-
cisms to make and many IDEAS,
said Senator Chamberlain. He
fen sure that the American indus
trial problem should be pushed and
not slackencd in the least. he
thouoht, also, that more raw ma
teriaIs might be sent abroad to DC
manufactured in France and tnat'

War department-eo increase SHIP

manufacture"

Wood said according to Senator
Chamberlain, should be used most
~ in bombing machines
HE thought the foreign motors
having been tried and proven, shouia
be used in the combat planes SAID
Senator Chamberlain.
Strengthening OF the army gen,
eraI staff also was urged by Genera
Wood. So many former e*nerts
ON the general staff, he said, have
asked and been given work IN
France that, while General Pcrsa,
ino has a splendid staff, that in TIC

and should be built up for advisory
purposes.

The British losses have been
heavy. but it is officially announced
that cons derirg the magnitude OF
the struggle. they are not undue.
On the other hand. the Germans
have suffered terribly, even Berlin
admitting that the TeutonIc casual
ties before Pcronnc were "compara-
lively heavy"
Paris has again been bombaroed
by the mysterious German cannon,
which is said to have been located
in the forest Of St. Quentin, south
Of LaFerc. An interruption in the
bombardmcnc on Monday was con-
sidcrcd as an indication that the
mysterious gun, or possibly bat
terry Of them had been located by
the French aerial forces. In the
face Of reports Of continued falling
back on the part Of the British. the
people of London and Paris nave
preserved a remarkable calm. This
IS reflected by the attitude in Wash
nqton. where it is felt that the mo-
mentum Of the German thrust VIII
soon have spent itself. President
Wilson has sent congratulations to
Field Marshal Haig and expressed
confidence in the ability Of the Brit
ish TO stop the enemy.
There has been renewed activity
in Italy, especially along the Pave
river, where aerioI forces have been
heavily engaged.
American artiIIerymen have again
dSluoed German positions in the VI
cnity Of T ouI, with high explosive
shells and have driven the Germans
back from the advanced trenches.
Large quantities CT gas shells have
been fired BY The Germans against

There have been artillery engage

have AGAIN advanced northward OF
