IN AUSTRIA
WORRYING TO GERMANS

London, Jan. 20-The PAN German
newspapers of Germany are hailinE
the removal of the emperor's secre-
tary, Rudolf Won Valentini, as a tri-
umph for their cause and the disap-
pearance of the last remnant of the
Bethmann Hollweg system. Herr Won
Nalentini was one of the best hated
men in the eyes of pan Germans. His
successor, Herr Won Berg, former gov
eronor of east Prussia, enjoys the
complete confidence of the conserva-
tives.
The Taeglische Rundscnau recalls a
remark of Won Valentino after the bat.
tie of the Skager Rak, regretting that
event because we had been Just on
the point of an understanding with
Great Britain"
While 1t seems undoubted that the
pan-Germans thus again, at least for
time, are firmly in the saddle, the
Frankfurter Zeitung's Vienna corre-
spondent interprets the serious strikes
and outspoken press utterances are re-
flecting the strong movement against
delaying peace through pan German
and annexationist aspirations. He de-
clares that it Is becoming clearer than
with the mi-connivance of the gov
ernment, the Austrian peoples, includ-
ing Germans will only wage war un-
til the entente is ready for peace by
understanding
Nothing has had such a bad effect
upon the relations between Austria
Hungary as the bearing of the father
land party, according to this corre-
spondent, and he adds
ut is true that the strike movement
(at Vienna and other cities through
out Austria) arose through the reduc-
ton of the flour ration, but now has
assumed a political character. 1t de-
mands speedy peace with Russia, and
has grown too strong to be stemmed
by force"
The article published Friday in the
Vienna Fremdenblatt, organ of Courl
Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian foreign
minister, has given the greatest Of
fense to a section of the German press,
which in acrid articles reveals its ami
mostly toward Austria. The Frem-
denhatt denounced Prince Won Bue-
low as q traitor asrinst Austria and
also expressed the dissatisfaction OF
the Austrian government with the agi-
tation of the German annexationists
for the Incorporation of great Polish
districts into the German empire.
The articles in the German papers
express wrath because of the Frem-
denblatt's statements, which are re-
garded as semi-offiCiai.

MERCY FOLLOWS THE FLAG

The American Red Cross follows
closely on the heels of the American
soldiery as it moves across Alsace and
Luxembourg upon German soil. The
Red Cross extends its merclful aid not
only to the injured but to the suffering
Germans are already the recipients Of
its mercy in food and clothing.
The Germans has not aroused the
sympathy of Americans by its sudden
and shrill calls for help. 1t was only q
few weeks ago that he was boasting
that he could hold out forever. 1t was
only few months ago that his hatred
of America and his avowed determi-
nation to punish America as he has
punished every other country that has
come into his power was his daily pray
er. He has not won so soon the conf
dence of the world in his honesty of
statement or intention. We trust him
to be good when gun is leveled at his
head. -
We shall decline to take his word for
anything until he has given substantial
testimony of repentance. We shall de-
cline to take chances with him until we
are convinced that he has abandoned
his criminal designs and put under per-
manent restrain. his criminal impulses.
We will help him with the necessaries
of life so far as it is safe and so far as
it does net involve robbing those who
have prior called uponour generosity. We
should, in short, keep the almoners Of
mercy tstind, not in front, Of the army
of occu6atian. -Syracuse Post-Standsrd.
