age Points on Front,
AUSTRIAN PREMIER
TENDERS RESIGNATION
Cabinet UpheavaI Believed to
Be Due to Polish Opposition
to Debate and Provisional
Budget,

American sharpshooters on the sec
tor held by the United States forces
northwest of Toul on the western
front have matched their marks
manship and wits against the skill
and experience Of the German rifle
men and thus far have had the ad-
vantage. Enemy snipers have been
routed from their hiding places
among bushes in the hilly, wooded
terrain or in shell holes by the fire
of the Americans, and where the ri
file proved unavaiing there was
brought into action machine guns or
light artillery which destroyed the
German shelters and caused casual
ties among their occupants.
Austrian Premier Resigns.
DR. Won Seydler the Austrian pre-
mier, has rendered the resignation OF
his cabinet to Emperor Charles. aC-
cordlng to Vienna advices reaching
Amsterdam. Parliamentary circles
in the Austrian capital understand
that the cabinets resignation is due
to the opposition of Polish deputies
to special debates and the provisional
budget. DR. Won Seydler January 90
informed labor delegations that it was
the wish of the emperor to end the
war at the earliest possible moment
by an honorable peace, and this dec
laration of the premier was instru-
mental in ending the strikes in vi
emma.
Turks Back Germany.
The Turkish foreign minister. Nes-

Austria as outlined in the recent

trlan foreign minister. Count CzCrnin.
In regard to the Dardanellcs. Mes
Simy Bey declared that the strait
would remain open in the future to
international traffic as in the nast

declaration is regarded as Turkeys
reply to the provision in President
Wilson'S announcement of America s
war aims, which required that the
Dardanelles should be open perma .

tsy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WISE

Washington, Feb. S.--Drastic action
to cope with the food shortage was
urged today in the senate debate
Senator Smoot urged a monthly fast
day to conserve the food supply.
Senator Borah declared the sttUa-
ton not due to actual shortage but to
the transportation and lahor situation
"If this draft law is executed as it
was the last time" said he, I'VE are
going to see a breakdown in farm
production"
Urges Classification.
Senator Jones of Washington asked
if every person in the country should
not be drafted to do the work best
suited to them.
"If the war keeps on that certainly
will have to be done" said Senator
Smoot.
"If this war should continue two
years longer" Senator Smoot con-
tinued, IT am afraid there will be a
scarcity of food in the world and many
of our people will be compelled to
go short in order to assist in feeding
our army and navy and the armies
and navies and the people of other
countries engaged with us.
Fast Day Advocated.
"1'he American people must be
made to understand that the RESPONSE
hility of seeing that hunger is not al
lowed to dishearten our allies or to
compel neutral countries to seek the
enemies, rests upon us.
"Why not have national fast day
once a month? If every American
citizen would abstain from eating two
meals upon that fast day. the health
of one hundred milton Americans
would be benefited, and further, we
would have more of the necessaries
of life to send to the people of Eu-
rope. now compelled to live on the
shortest of rations"
Lots of Food Wasted.
Senator Borah declared any amount
of food is now going to waste and de-
clared he did not believe there would
be any shortage If 1t were properly
distributed.
There are 1000 carloads OF pota-
toes in Idaho, he said which because
of the transportation situation, will
perish. He said it would be useless
to tell the people of his state that it is
necessary to save potatoes.
Fast days will not meet the stua-
ton" declared Senator Jones. He
declared congress should devise some
way of making every one work in
order to produce more food.
Enrolment and agricultural train
ing of unemployed and idle men not
liable to the draft. but capable of do
ing farm work" was proposed in n
bill introduced at the request Of the
department of agriculture by Senator
Jones.

Alton Packard, the we'll known

Jane Dillon on Chautauqua last sum-,

her work:
"Miss Jane Dillon's interpretive
readings of the Ibsen plays and Of the
poems of Browning impressed me
with the originality of her methods
and the power of her personality in
preenting some of these difficult char
acters. She makes clear the symbol
iam of Ibsen ina most remarkable
way. Her portrayal of the ugly and
repulsive side of human nature il in
such contrast to her Illuminating pre-
sentation of beauty as to be quite
startling. She has very wonderful
voice, which she uses most skilfslly,
and she seems to live the part that
she is portraying. Miss Dllon's nat
ural endowments seem to be strong
and compelling personality, keen,
active mind, a beautiful voice and
feminine grace and charm of manner.
She has enhanced these gifts with
much study and cultivation, SO that
she is we'll able to interpret great
literature in an Illuminating and
gratifying way
Miss Dillon will appear here Fri
