OF GERMANY
WEARY OF BIG WAR
CRIES FOR PEACE
GERMAN CENSORSHIP SWOOP
DOWN ON ALLY AND RAISE A
WALL AGAINST WIRES
OF WORLD.

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 23.-With more
than 100000 workers on strike and
widespread rumors of disorder in Aus
tria and Hungary, the situation in the
duel monarchy is beclouded, the cen
sorship having stifed all news. The
German censorship also has prohibited
German newspapers from telling of the
situation in Austria.
Efforts of Austrian statesmen to
quiet the hungry people in their de-
mand for peace, apparently failed of
their purpose and the censorship which
permitted promises of the government
spokesman to reach the outside world
again, has resumed it's vigor. The
trouble is said to be deep-seated and to
a mixture of war WEAKNESS, hunger
and anti-Germanism.
Depend on Russ.
Seemingly the one strong hope of
Austrian leaders in quieting the tumult
is in thesuccess of the negotiations at
Brest Litovsk with Russia and the
Ukraine The German attitude on oc-
cupied territories has baked the con
clusion of peace with Russia and the
central powers have been unable to
agree to a treaty with the Ukraine A
peace with the Ukraine would open
the food producing territory of Little
Russia to the Austrians who have been
refused food by Hungary
Little news has come from Germany
on the political situation there. But it
is indicated that the Austrian emperor
is not unmindful that the trouble in his
own land may force Emperor William
to change his attitude toward the peace
negotiations 1t is reported that fur
Their Pan-American attempts to hold
