Vienna Government Says 1t
VIII Act Soon.
Austria Has Chance To Rise ii
Helped Now.
HOPES THERE'S NO REVENGE
Austria Tried Repeatedly To
Give Up War.
Opines People Are Not Inclined
to BOlshevism.

London, Nov. 2S.-The Vienna gov
ernment intends to bring to trial all
persons responsible for the war, in
cluding Count Berchtold, Austro- Hun
garian foreign minister. when the war
broke out. and Count Czerin, foreign
minister at later period, according
to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Copenhagen today. Former En-
peror Charles, the Austrian grand
dukes and a number of generals also
are to be tried, according to these ad-
vices.
Vienna, Nov. 24.-"Provided the al
lies extend immediate help, the Aus
trian republic will be able to arise
from the position it is in at present"
said DR.. Joseph Redlich. former min
lister of finance. to the correspondent
today.
1--WE hope there is no revengeful de-
sire on the part of the allies to see us
remain in poverty" he continued. Our
enemies should be generous and re-
member at least that Austria did what
she considered her duty to her ally
and tried repeatedly to give up the
war. If we are helped. we will be
able to help ourselves Our people
are farmers and men of the industrial
classes, all willing to work and not
inclined to Bolsheyism. Our financial
position looks kke bankruptcy on
paper. but We will be able to pay our
war debts.
On Productive Basis.
"Our gold reserves are small, per-
haps half a million crowns, but that
is of no great Importance in my opin-
| !on. What urge is that we be helped
| back to a productive basis. It Is my
| opinion that we must form a fedora
| ton with the broken up parts Of the
former empire for commercial par-
poses."
| Ludwig Won Neupath, director OF tbs
| Austrian credit bank, said today, while
discussing the situation: s .
! Must Have q Loan.
'.The Austrian republic must frs
| be given a loan to be used for tht
; purpose of sending food and coal into
| the country to prevent famine and dis
order. Then it must obtain another
loan OF $50.OOO,00O to buy o si1
months stock Of cotton, wool and cop
per.
Diplomatic pressure should bt
! brought to bear against the Cxechs
who are attempting to prevent the ar.
! rival of coal and metals from Galicis
and other points. The peace confer
ence also should apportion the debit
OF the FORMER Austrian empire
equitably arong the Hungarians ant
! Austrians, Czechs and Jugo-Slavs. Thi
debt now totals $4,000, 100000 : -onen
! 80. 0oN 100000 OF which is in papel
money which is circulating in an part
OF the country. If the Austrian repub
lie Is made to shoulder this war debt
she is bound tc be bankrupt.
Before the war normal expenses
for the army totalled two billiol
/ kronen. II there is no army or nav,
in future this sum will be sufficient t,
pay the interest ON the country
debts"

ice)-Nov. 2s.-In connection with re-

Matthias Erzberger. another member

in a Copenhagen message that decu-

the activities OF Herr Erzberger dur

Does Not Swing Fur.
London, Nov. 2S.-The political PEN
dulum in Germany, which has been
swinging between conservative Social
ism and Bolshevism. seems for the
present to have halted midway. giving
reasonable promise OF some sort OF
unified government with which 1t will
be possible for the allies properly to
negotiate peace.
This situation is largely the result
OF the forcefulness Of Kurt Eisner
president of the Bavarian republic,
who gave the federation clearly to un-
derstand that Bavaria and the other
states will not tolerate either the Old
gang or Bolsheyik Dictatorship,
The Social Democrats. under Philip
Scheidemann. and the Independent
Socialists. under Doctor. Haase, aitho
temporarily partners in the Socialist
coalition, arc still rivals AS formerly.
Moreover, each is now especially sus-
| picious OF the other. The Independent
| Socialists firmly believe tho Social
Democrats,who opposed the revolution.
continue to be dominated by the old
! regime. At the same time the Social
Democrats accuse the Independent So
cialists of Bolshevism. aitho the lat-
/ ter's leaders repudiate the charge.
In the meantime. Karl LAebknecht's
! Sparta Gus, or Bolshevik, movement
must be reckoned with. It's scope Is
uncertain, owing to its underground
methods. 1t is probably growing in
the industrial regions, but apparently
! is making no headway in the army.
Many soldiers organizations already
/ have. strongly resolved to support the
present government and national as
sembly. Therein, together with nat
urai Teutonic tendency toward organ
ization and discipline. probably lies
the assurance that the new Germany
will not follow in Russia's footsteps.

DROP in FLU CASES1C Can Get WILHELM
Only Six Reported to Health
Board This Morning.
Meanwhile Ban Is in Effect
All Over City.

At noon today only six cases OF In
fluenza were reported in the public
health office. No deaths or releases
were reported.
Altho there were ninety-five new
cases of influenza reported to the city
health authorities Wednesday,. the re-
port this morning has failed to main
tain the average that has been at
tanned since Monday OF this week, for
the same hour Of the day. At 8
o'clock this morning there were nosre-
ports of any kind IN the office of ti$e
public health department. It-does ns}t
seem reasonable that new cases arisirtl
should come to such a sudden cessa-
ton The lack of any report Is proba-
bly, due to the fact that a large num-
Der of the doctors suppose the health
office closed for Thanksgiving and
failed to turn in the cases under their
care.
With the theaters running. at least
for the rest of the week, the restless
ones of the town have those places OF
amusement left Is which they may &C
today. 1t is expected that all the show
places will be filled this afternoon and
evening.
According to authorities this brand
of weather, in one way, may be re-
garded as desirable. 1t will tend tc
keep people from congregating. Or
the other hand most homes are moi
particularly we'll ventilated, as heating
facilities are not such in most houses
that they can be Kept warm with
enough window openings to keep the
house full of fresh air.
The churches will hold no meetings
this afternoon or tonight, nor viii
there be any services Sunday unless
the present closing order into effec'
today is changed before that time.
The schools. of course, will remain
closed the remainder of the week.
What ban will be enforced nex'
week will depend entirely upon the
results which become evident in the
next few days. Theater owners havt
been warned that If they make an,
plans for next week, they will do so al
1 their own risk.
In the opinion OF the authorities the
orders as so far placed in effect are
deemed sufficient to check the threat
ened recurrence of the epidemic
However, if by the end of the weel
conditions have not improved. the ole
closing order will be placed in effec
| again with possible variations. which
! have not been decided upon.
| Grocery Stores Open.
The city health authorities made 1
! plain today that the flu ban requiring
store to confine their business hour
| to the period between a. m. and 4:3,
p. m. did not apply to grocery store
! in the city. In other words. the grocer
may adhere to their usual hours.

CAME POSTPONED
Play WaShburn Football Game
Saturday Afternoon.
Snow Ruins Hopes for Big
Turkey Day Contest.
BY VIM. D. WOLFE.

Tho Wa2hbuPn- Haskell football
game has been postponed until Satur-
day afternoon, according to an an
nouncement by Coach Bearg of the
Blue team this morning. Seats pur-
chased for the game this afternoon
will be good Saturday. Bearg said. and
there will be no necessity of making
any change in the reservations.
1t is hoped that the postponement
of the game will ceause greater num-
ber OF persons to turn out for the con-
test, especially as the game Saturday
may be the last one to be played here
this season.
The disbanding Of the S. A. T. c.
units in the colleges may have bear
ing on the post-season games which
have been scheduled by many of the
schools. The Kansas conference au-
thorities have made no rulings In the
matter as yet. but in view of their at
titude in previous years 1t is thought
possible that no sanctions will be
forthcoming for post-season contests

Allies Find They Can Extradite
Him.
French Law Expert Sayy It Is
Possible.

Paris. Nov. 26.-Willfam HohenzoI-
fern can be extradited in the opinion
Of Professor Barthelemy Of the Paris
law faculty. who explains that his
guiding principle is that when there
is an apparent conflict between 1xw
and commonsense the solution is al
ways found by following the latter.
The theory a political crime is any
crime inspired by purely political mo-
tives. the professor declares, 4fas long
been abandoned. He notes that Bel
GUM in 1856 classed regieides among
common law criminals. Grimes such
as the assassinations OF President Car
not of France and King Humbert of
Italy were inspired by political motives
he points out, and yet the authors of
them were executed.
The atrocities ordered by former
Emperor William. the professor con-
tinues. are condemned even in state
of war by international law and con-
stitute common law crimes.
