Ambassador to Russia, who was as

Russia, has been expelled from Kiev
by the Ukranian government, accord

the expulsion, the newspaper says, is
that his presence there hindered the
conclusion of the peace treaty between
Russia and the Ukraine.

Hussark

AMSTERDAM, July 27.-Baron Won
Hussark, the new Austrian Premier. in
unfolding his policy in the lower house
OF Parliament, has said, according to
advlces from Vienna:
In firm union with Germany, with
which we arc united in unshakable
friendship and loyalty and with which
we are about to be more closely united,
1t IS now imperative to enforce a sue
cesstul end to this terrible struggle.
After. year of severe trial it is
now time to realize the intentions

repeatedly have unanimously stated,
which threaten no one and which aim

After saying his programme COM
prised the immediate passing of the
hungarian budget and the making of
preparations to clear up national life
problems, including the creation of
satisfactory conditions for the entire
population and in the DEVELOPMENT of
social welfare organizations, Premier
Hussarek said
Our efforts must be directed toward
the creation of basis for trustful CO.
operation with parliament, which, how
ever, cannot materialize without mu-
tual frankness and straightforward
ness.
I'm this respect we first look to those
groups which have formerly on prin-
ciple supported our state in its most
serious struggle, and we are conscious
OF our obligations toward them. We
desire, however, to gain at least such a
degree>of confidence from those not on
our side as may be possible from loyal
opponents. Justice toward all-toward
every race and every class-must, how
ever, be and continue to be our guiding
principle"
Baron Won Hussarek's speech was
generally applauded, though the Ger

Serbian Minister Here De-
clares Free States Are
Necessary to Check Foe
Allies Asked to Aid
Should Exert Themselves for
Freedom of Jugo-Slavs and
Czecho-Slavs

WASHINGTON, July 27.--The peace
of the future can be assured only by
the dismemberment of Austria Hun
gary and the establishment of the free
states of the Czecho -Slovaks, the Poles
and the Jugo-Slavs. L. Michailovitch,
Serbian Minister to the United States.
so declared tonight in a statement
discussing the causes leading up to
and the issues of the world war. which
will enter upon it's fifth year to-mor-
row.
Establishment of these free states,
the minister said. will destroy the Ger
man scheme for extension both to Per-
Dual Monarchy exists in its present
form. he added, the roads to Bagdad
and Vladivostok will remain open.
"In her great plan for the domino
ton of the world" continued Mr.. Mi
chailovitch, Germany had for her prin-
cipal ally Austria Hungary. Aided by
that empire and extending across its
territory, Germany's influence was to
have spread over the Balkans and the
Ottoman Empire to the Persian Gulf.
The existence and reinforcement of
Austria Hungary were essential for the
realization of this plan. which was
menaced by number of dangers. dan
gers which even threatened the very
existence of the Dual Monarchy.
Awaited Opportunity
There were, in the first place. the
development and progress of Serbia.
which, on account of identity of race
and its very democratic constitution.
became a point of attraction for all
the Jugo-Slavs. The second danger
was the ever growing resistance Of the
Jugo-Slavs, Serbs, Croats and Slovenes
to the Austro- Hungarian regime.
Finally there was the powerful national
organization of the Czecho- Slovak peo-
pie, which had always awaited a ia
vorable occasion to settle its accounts
with the Hapsburgs and their support
ers.
can Independent Serbia was a bar
rier against the expansion of Germany
toward the East. To save Austria and
open the route to the East Germany
had but one means-war.
whatever may be the conditions Of
peace, if after this war Austria Hun
gary still continues to exist, German
will always have free field and
route open for her expansion toward
the East. and this for the reason that
Austria Hungary, by the force of
events, can only maintain herself with
the support of Germany"
United States Should Aid
For these and other reasons, Mr.. Mi
chailovitch said. the Allies and the
United States should aid the present
movement Of the Jugo -Slavs and the
Czecho-Slovaks in Austria Hungary to
attain national freedom by every
means in their power. and should guar
antee to those nationalities the reali-
zation of their national aspirations. for
which they now are openly struggling.
"The collapse of Russia" the min
lister said. in conclusion. "has been Of
enormous advantage to Germany. and
the collapse of Austria Hungary. which
has begun, will bring to Germany
either her defeat or her victory. This
depends solely on the point of view
the Allies and the United States will
take. On this decision depends the
conclusion of the war and the future
peace of the world"

frock coats and silk hats and from
former army officers in shiny boots.
Al are trying to earn livelihood in
the commune" of Petrograd, where
property is confscated and incomes
have vanished.
Some of those on the Nevsky are
girls, pretty ones, and they walk the
long length of the street all the day
ana INTO the night, asking for the little
postage stamps that now pass for
money in Russia-because they are
hungry. And then there are other
girls, and the number grows larger
every day, who do not exactly beg. but
look wistful and hungry and sell them
selves, instead of biscuits or chocolates
or newspapers, to the rollicking sailors
and debonair spectators.
Where Do Vendors Get Food?
One of the mysteries of Russia is
where the vendors of cakes and bis
cunts get the things they sell. There
IS absolutely no flour to be had, and
t e bread allowance per person, which
one sometimes gets and sometimes
doesn't is one-half Of pound daily
tor the proietariat and onc-eighth Of
pound daily for the bourgeoise. The
bread is black and heavy and its in
gradients cannot be identified. Sugar
cannot be obtained in the shops. In
the homes horse meat, dried cabbage
and what bread is available is the prin-
cipal diet fer the majority. Eggs, but
ter and milk are high in price and ex-
tremely scarce.
Formerly an income of 200 rubles a
month was comparative opulence. Now,
according to the best estimates avail
able, it costs from $500 to 5000 rubles
month to maintain a family of three
in anything like comfort. Most of the
families in Petrograd, even with wages
soaring, have less than 1000 rubles a
month. But even the wealthy suffer
hunger pargs, because transportation
is crippled and the city is cut off from
the Ukraine, its principal flour and
sugar producing territory, and from
the nearby Finnish and Baltic COM
munitics that once supplied it with
butter, milk, eggs and vegetables.
In the city's largest hotels, some fer
merly among the show places of Eu-
rope, there is no electric light, no ele-
vators, no hot water and generally no
food. One always provides his own
bread and must keep it under lock and
key. A dinner in one of the better
class restaurants to-day costs 40 rubles
But the city struggles on. Now des-
perately and now nonchalantly it
strives to adapt itself to the topsy-
turviness Of it's present life.
