Austria i'm Favor
OF Self-Government

AMSTERDAM, March 8.--The Lower
House of the Reichsrat adopted four
months provisional budget after a
speech by Dr. Won Seydler, the Austrian
Premier, in which he declared that the
government adhered to the principle of
the right of the peoples of Austria to
government within their own terri
tories, but not beyond the frontiers of
the country, according to a Vienna dis
patch.
The government, the Premier said,
also adhered to the right Of self-de-
termination as far as compatible with
the preservation and development of
the entire state. The government at
the same time adopted the principle of
the right of national self-determina-
ton, the Premier said, according to
which no nationality must Cypress any
other nationality, and that every ma
tionalty is entitled to live its own life
within it's own territory.
The Premier announced that a bill
in this sense would be introduced es-
pecially dealing with the South Slav
question, the settlement Of which would
correspond with the South Slav's dyn-
astic and imperial royalty. The Prem
Ter further said that measures had been
taken to counteract enemy propaganda
in Austria.

Find Women in Wreckoge
After London Air Raid

LONDON, March 9-Numerous pitt
able incidents are reported from the
scene of Thursday nights air raid on
London. The eighty-year-old sister of
a special constable was found alive un-
der the wreckage of her home several
hours after the raiders had passed.
She was finally dug out after oxygen
had been administered to keep her
alive. The aged woman had refused to
leave her home when her brother went
out to warn a neighbor of the approach
of the raiders. A few moments later a
bomb struck the house.
In another neighborhood young
woman died as the last piece of the
wreckage of her home, under which she
had been pinned, was removed. She
had been discovered trapped amid the
debris five hours previously and kept
alive by stimulants, but her injuries
proved fatal. Another girl in the same
house, who was extricated after several
hours work, survived her injuries.
At noon yesterday woman died in
hospital in the outskirts of London
from injuries she had received through
bit of wreckage crashing through the
roof of her home.
A large nursing home, full of pa
tents, was among the damaged build
ings. but the occupants escaped injury.

Domination of
East, Berlin Plan,
Says Lord Cecil
British Blockade Minister
Declares Japan's Aid
Now Vital

LONDON. Friday March s.-Point-
ing out tee seriousness cf the German
menace in Siberia and in southern
Asia, Urging Japanese Intervention and
insisting that the German people show
TO likelihood of rising against their
iraperialistic masters, Lord Robert
Cecil, Minister Of Blockade, to-day
pointed out in statement to The AS
sociated Press what had already been
accomplished by the Germans in the
East. Spreading large map on the
table, Lord Robert said:
Look at what Germany has already
done toward scheme of world con-
quest. On the north she has taken
rich Baltic provinces over which she
purposes to install German prince.
She sent troops to Finland and con-
cluded an agreement which puts the
whole foreign policy of Finland at her
disposal. These steps in the north
have practically cut off Russia from
access to the sea-
Looking further south, we find that
Germany is in the course of occupying
Odessa, the greatest Black Sea port
and that She has insisted that Russia
ccde to Turkey all ports at the east
end of the Black Sea. Her evident de-
sign is to substitute for the Berlin-to-
Bagdad Railroad a new avenue to the
East by Trans-Caucasia and northern
Persia. In the execution of this de-
sign Germany, moreover. has had, con-
sciously or unconsciously, the assist
ance and cooperation of the Bolshe-
wiki.
look at the plight of Armenia!
Both Great Britain and America have
always taken deep interest and sym
pathy in this unhappy people. Arme-
MAN refugees who fed into Trans
Caucasia are now, under the Russo
German treaty, to be handed back to
the Turks.
"You have only to look at the map
to see what a tremendous scheme of
conquest Germany hiss undertaken
Having been thwarted in her plan to
conquer France, this is the second
string to her bow, and for the moment
the whole German people seems to be
backing the new imperialistic scheme.
The military control of Germany is
paramount and mistaken. German
democracy is docile and servile. The
Allies must adopt every means in their
power to Illustrate Germanys designs
in the East"

opposition will not go further than the
registry of its disapproval, and that
the occupation of Siberia by Japanese
forces will not affect the determined
prosecution of the war by the United
States.
1t was asserted by an Entente diplo-
mat that the reply Of the United States
had necesstated the utmost consdera-
ton being given to the possibility of
an invasion of Russia in force by
Japan dampening the war ardor of
America, az the Allies are vitality de-

would spell disaster to them.
Consider Danger to India
AT the same time, however, it was
necessary for Britain to consider the
dangers threatening India, by reason
of the German progress toward that
country. However it is England's
desire that Japan act as mem
Der Of the, Entente Alliance, rather
than as Britain's ally alone, under the
terms Of the Anglo Japanese Alliance
This would give the entire alliance, as
we'll as the United States, the power
to make the Gnal determination in the

questions arising or likely to arise as
a consequence Of the contemplated oc-
cupation Of Siberia
II was considered an open question
to-day whether Allied troops would ac.
company the japanese troops into ST.
IBERIA. Any Allied force, it was as
scrted, would have to be small, but it
is practicable for Britain to dispatch
"Anzacs" from Australia and New

France to add light contingent from
her possessions in Asia.
