LONDON, May 15.--At the meet
fhg OF Emperor william and Emper.
or Charles the Chronicle says, APP
parcntly a step was taken toward
formally defining and recognizing
tho subscrIent relations Of tho dual
monarchy toward the German en-
plre.
AN independent Austria Hun
gary" the newspaper adds, rs i'm
possible chiefly because not one Of
It's constituent nationalities wants 1t.
Tho Austro. German and Magyar
domination minorities rule over suo-
cessful dependent majoriues do not
want an Independent monarchy but
a monarchy dependent on Germany,
which can help them maintain their
unnatural position.
Dual Monarchy Opposed.
"On the other hand the tZechs-
Slovaks and the Jugo- -Slavs do not
want dual monarchy tn any form.
Independent or otherwise They want
Independent Czech -Sloyak and Jugo-
Sav states. Between these two
schools any attempt by Emperor
Charles TO reasSert the ependence
OF the Hapsburgs is doomed to fan
helplessly."
The recent meeting Of Emperor
william Of Germany and Emperor
Charles Of Austria IS Of absorbing
interest tp the British public There
are two viewpoints which appear In
the comment on the meeting. one as
the immediate result OF the confer
once and the other as to its future
results. but both are OF paramount
importance. The first IL the effect
which the meeting is likely to have
in military events. whether another
great blow at Italy may be expected
to coincide with tho daily expected
renewal OF the onslaught at the
Anglo French front
May Send Troops to West.
Also whether Austria can be per-
suaded to send troops to the west
ern front to strengthen the exhaust
ed German divisions. The more dis
tant outcome OF the meeting and its
cementing of political and eco
nomic defensive alliance OF the CEN
tral powers Is realization that
eventually must be faced In the ma
terialization of the Mittel Europa
policy and 1t is argued that II this
is accomplished the natural reply of
the entente nations would be the
placing In operation OF the resolu-
tions calling for economic pressure
against Germany, known as the
Paris resolution, because it is conr
tended that only by strong economic
pressure could the entente deal with
the greatest unit of power ever
known in the worlds history.
Comments from Austrian news
papers reaching London tonight tend
to confirm the opinion that the al
lance of the central powers has been
consolidated in all-embracing man
ner. Vienna newspapers are unan-
imous in the view that a multitude
OF enemies necessitates self preser-
walton and demands that Germany
and Austria Hungary should give
their defensive alliance general
character. They also emphasize that
neither party Will give up its poll

SAVE GASOLINE
TO AID NATION
Will Aid Here in Campaign TO
Save 100000 Gallons in
United States.

The Illinois state council of de-
Tense asks that steps be taken here
to aid in the nationwide campaign
to save SCI 100000 gallons of gaso-
line this year.
The work is being taken over
here by W. F. Bacon, Boy Scout
executive. Large posters are being
placed in all garages and in all con-
spicuous places where automobile
owners congregate. The saving of
gasoline is considered a patriotic
duty in connection with winning the
war. Some of the more important
ways of saving the gasoline are:
Don't store gasoline underground.
Use wheeled tanks with measuring
pump and hose. they prevent fire,
evaporation and splitting.
Don't use gasoline for washing
use kerosene or other materials to
cut grease. Don't spill or expose
to ART evaporates rapidly and is
dangerous.
The estimate for war needs alone
is 50,000,000 gallons and this
large amount will have to be made
up in saving what has hitherto
been wasted.
