AUSTRIA SEES
CRASHNEARER
Diplomatic Advices Say That
Drift Toward Crisis Is stead
lily. Growing Faster.
SLAVS BECOME BOLDER
Cabinet in Chaos and CZechs
Demand That Parliament
BE Convened.
SLAvS BECOME BOLDER

WAsHiNoroN. June 1S.-That the in
ternational situation in Austria Hun
sary Is slowly but surely drifting toward
a crisis which looms UP more threaten
insiy than At any time since the war be-
gan is the purport OF diplomatic ad-
vices received here within the last two
weeks.
All Of these advices lack specific de-
tails and give 20 far no definite clue as
to just when and how the threatened
tlareup IN the dual monarchy may he
looked for. nor Is there any trustworthy
indication rs TO how serious 1t may be.
but there Is unAnimity OF opinion based
on the bert available Information that
matters are steadily going from bad to
warse.
The latest developments which are re-
sarded as having a direct bearing on the
situation are the following;
The beginning OF the Austrian drive
on the Italian front is obviously designed
10 distract attention Of the people from
their internal troubles
The hurried departure Of Baron
Rurian. the Austro-Hunsarian Foreign
Minister, for Berlin
The threatened resignation o. several
Cabinet members unless Parliament is
reconvened al the demand Of the Czecns.
The increasing boldness Of the Slavs
and Poles In the face Of German threats
and the resurrection Of the demand for
peace instead OF victories"
This peace instead OF victories"
slogan made It's appearance in Austria
Hungary at the time OF the las. Austro-
German drive against Italy When the
news reached Vienna o. the victories"
Won by the Austro- German troops crowds
gathered in the streets replied deflantly.
We want peace instead OF victories"
The German drive on the western
front had more effect toward quelline
unrest in Austria Hungary than the
drive on tne Italian front. it is explained,
because the German drive NaS 50 eX-
tensively advertised as designed 20 bring
speedy peace. The peoples OF Austria
Hungary who were feeling more and
more the economic hardships of the war
and were admittedly tired or IS CON
tinuatton. were made 70 believe that they
need wait only a little longer to see the
German drive force peace by the sword.
The initial success Of the German drive
added weight to those promises Blu,
now II u becoming evident again tha,
peace Il not TO he expected in the near
future regardless OF the German drive
and. according to reports received here
! restiveness in Austria Hungary is be-
/ coming moro pronounced than cver.

! CURED in Vienna have reached all the

DISCOVERS RICH ORE VEIN

Marion Derrick, one of the old time miners of this section, but who has been operating in the Oatman country the past several years, recently dis covered a vein of ere in the Wallapai mountains, close to the old Grant and McGeary cabin. He was short of fuel and had to go out in the recent snow storm to get a supply and while cut ting down q small tree accidentally broke off a piece of rock from a pro jecting ledge and saw the glint of ga lena. He has been doing some develop ment work on the vein and finds that it is of considerable size, and assays run at the office of the Arizona Assay office show it to have a value of GA ounces silver, 34 per cent lead and s2 gold.
 MT. Derrick will soon have the vein opened so that he can begin the ship ment of ore to the smelter.
 The find is in one of the most thor oughly prospected sections of the north end of the Wallapai mountains and right in the heart of the usual camping place of prospectors.

UNCLE SAM'S TEN
 COMMANDMENTS

President Wilson is about to sign a bill which takes its place in history as the most liberal legislation in pro lection of a nations fighters ever known. It is good enough, strong enough to be called the National Ten Commandments, and is, in effect, thus:
 Thou shalt not evict, for non-pay- ment of rent, a soldiers dependents, under penalty of S1O,OO0 fine.
 Thou shalt not cut off a soldiers life insurance because of delayed premiums.
 Thou shalt not foreclose a mortgage on a soldiers property.
 Thou shalt not take away soldiers home on which he has made part pay ment.
 Thou shalt not sell soldiers prop erty because of his failure to pay the taxes, national, state or local.
 Thou shalt not settle a law suit against a soldier during his absence.
 If soldier sue, the courts shall postpone action until he can attend to it.
 If soldier have mine, or timber or farm claim, assessments on which are overdue, it shall be held for him.
 Honor thy soldier and thy sailor, that thy days may be long in the land of liberty.
 No man hath greater love than he that offereth his life for the worlds sake, and it is commanded that neither lawyers, nor the, loan sharks, nor the gatherers of tithes shall fatten on him.
 Congress is content to call this a civil right bill. It's the divine rights bill.-Washington Herald.
