BECAUSE OF DIscoNTENT OVER
 CONTINUATION OF THE WAR
SITUAnONIS CRITICAL
Nation Wide Strikes and Some Dis turbances Have Resulted From the Bitter Opposition to the Government No Battles of Importance.

The crisis in Austria, arising from the discomfort of the people over the continuation of the war, the scarcity of food and a general desire for peace, has resulted in the resignation of the Austrian cabinet.
 For weeks there has been bitter op- position to the government on the part of the people, and during the past few days this has resulted in nation wide strikes and some disturbances.
 Details Are Extremely Measre.
 Although details of the exact situa- ton resulting from the troublous times are extremely meagre, the despatches that have crept through are indicative of a situation that will require skilful handling by the authorities to again bring the dissatisfied populace into a state of tractability.
 Ban oh Newspapers in Vienna. No newspapers in Vienna were per mitted last Saturday. The only pub lication allowed was a single sheet bulletin which told some of the details of the nation wide strike and the de- velopments in the peace discussions at Brest Litovsk As usual, the hand ot 1 the German propagandists was to be | seen in this one sheet publication, foI | the chief announcement in it was from l the German social democracy of Aus 1 tria. This lay stress on last years declaration of the Austro Hungarian | foreign minister, Count Czernin, tha1 the central powers were ready tc make an immediate general peace without annexations or indemnities. 1 Desire for Peace is Paramount. l Evidently, however this statemen | failed to placate the strikers in Wien na, who sent a large delegation to wal upon the food minister to inform hin of conditions among the worl1in; classes and to impress upon him tina their desire for peace overshadowet and took precedence over all other de
 mands. What the result of this visi
 was remains to be told.
 Discomfort in Hungary.
 In Hungary also the people are en deavoring to ascertain what are tn prospects for cessation of hostilitie
 and a return to normal life. So in
 Sistent has been their effort in thi
 direction that the Hungarian premie has been forced to announce in tn
 lower house of parliament that tn
 government adhered to the principl
 of peace without annexations or in
 that even the king share
 in this view. The premier, however
 added that the question of Alsace
 Lorraine should not at the presen time enter into the situation, as it wa not calculated to strengthen the gov ernments position.
 Industrial Situation in Germany. The censorship has entirely close down with regard to the internal sit uation in Germany, although one of tn Berlin newspapers is quoted as decla1 { ing that the postponed speech ( . the imperial chancellor to the mai committee of the reichstag will be de , livered next Thursday. The deba' following the speech of the cfanceEt
 is expected to extend over three day
 Peace Negotiations to Continue.
 Unofficial advices from Copenhage
 are to the effect that Lein Trotzk , the BolsheTik foreign minister, h;
 asserted that although he has depar C ed from Petrograd. the peace negotis
 tions at Brest LItovsR would contin,
 during his absence. Trotzky is r. f ported to have informed the chi = German delegate at Brest I.itovsk tn ] his visit to Petrograd was merely f = the purpose of reporting to the col .- gress of workmen's and soldiers dep l. ties.
