the subject of thrift, as this was the

said the speaker, '@has never meant

Hunger and Hatred Of Prus-
sia Bring Discomfort
to Crisis.

London. June 15.-Internal strife and
discomfort bordering on open revolt is
sweeping Austria Hungary with q
force and persistence absent in the
many previous crisis. Hunger. war
weariness and hate Of Germany are
fast breaking down the last bounds
Of restraint. Were it not for a vir-
Ttual empire-wide state of martial law
the fame Of rebellion would have long
since burst forth to start the confia-
grafton that seems inevitable.
Ludendorff has impaired to the
Austrian military authorities some Of
his pet rules OF quelling discomfort
as applied in Germany early this year.
But the Vienna imitation In q poor
one. Instead OF improving the situa-
ton II is making it worse and worse.
These are the strongest indications
that malcontent sparks have sprung
over the starving cities into the army
andnavy.
In. the midst Of this crisis Of crises
"A gigantic offensive Is to be launched,
unless all signs lie.
Burian Sees Kaiser wilhelm.
As a last resort Burian was dis
patched by Emperor Charles to Berlin
early this week. But Wilhelmstrasse,
wher he sought to make one more plea
for a peace offensive" referred him
to the "hauptquartier'' Of the great
German general staff in the field.
There he sought the Kaiser's ear. But
William II, just back from the ruins
OF Scissors, where he watched the
dash to the Marne, had no patience
with the pleader for peace.
Now is the time to strike against
cur faithless ally" is said to have
been the substance of the Kaiser's re-
tort. with a irritated afterthouGht:
What are Austria's armies waiting
for?" -
From Ludendorff, Burian got a
similar answer. Back to Vienna he
sped to tell his imperial master
what the latter's masters had "sug-
gested.' Once more Berlin's wish
appears to be Vienna's violence
from the Asiago.
Premier Resigns Again.
Premier Seydler. who has more
often resigned and "reconsidered"
than any other minister in this
war, again deems this propitious
moment to give up the burdens of
his office. This time he Is said to
be in earnest. The food shortage,
the bitter hatred between the Slav
and German elements, and the pros
pect of seeing the dual monarchy
pass under Prussian control have
Joined to charge the atmos2herr
throughout the empire to a degree
where the first major reverse at the
front will result in the long looked
for blast-a moment Incidentally
for which the Bolsheviki in Russia
are eagerly waiting-and no states
man in possession of his wits de-
sires to share the responsibility.
The fact that Burian holds on to
his post is ascribed chiefly to his
pro-German tendencies. There are
many of his type high in the coun-
ellis of the Hapsburg realm who
are believed to look to /the day OF
German predominance as the day
of salvation from the internal
chaos.
Emperor Charles position is gen.
orally characterized by insiders as
extremely precarious. Should the re-
volt come the overthrow of his dy-
nasty will be a swift procedure, 1t is
believed.
