GERMANY, AUSTRIA DIFFER
Polish Question May Open Grave Po-
lftfcaI Difficulties.

Washingto Aug. 19.-Grave po-
litical difficulties between Germany
and Austria in regard to the Polish
question are foreseen in entente diplo-
matte circles here.
Authentic advices from European
capitals were that the interview be-
tween Kaiser Wilhelm and Emperor
Charles terminated without a final de-
cision in the matter of the disposition
of Polish territory and with a clear
evidence of a growing break between
the two allied empires
Comment from German sources ad-
mits the probability of the Austrian
people refusing the plan reported
worked out at the conference by
which Russian Poland would be ruled
by an Austrian archduke and bound
to Germany by stringent financial,
economical and military conventions.
1t is held that even tho the Aus
trtan monarch has been compelled to
adopt the German terms at the con-
ference az a substitute for the an
nounced Austrian aim to annex Rus
sian Poland to Galicia, his Magyar and
German subjects will refuse to bow to
the arrangements when the emperor
returns to Vienna
Diplomats see direct danger to the
political fabric of the dual monarchy
in the German arrangements 1t is
declared that the new independent
Poland would be the center of attrac-
ton for the Polish patriots from
Galicia, who would lay plans to effect
the transfer of Galicia from Austria
to Poland

London, Aug. 19.-Motor bus and

paralyzed this morning as result of
the strike of CONTEMPORARIES. which
threatens to spread thruout the coun-
try. At midnight the union voted to
call out today its 10000 members in
London and the provinces.
Londoners walked to work today, or
rode in taxis and tube trains. Be
tween 1000 and 900 workers, in
cluding conductors, are striking in
sympathy with the conductorettes.
Thousands of motor busses are idle.
The women want five shillings a
week bonus the same as recently
granted to the men.
The bAs strikes have spread to Bris-
tol Bath, Folkestone and Havings, and
threaten to affect the London subway
Sixty conductorettes in the tube al

vance Prices Inevitable.
Orders from the war industries

the United States cutting down he
use of white paper. The amount of
white paper allowed to each daily
newspaper is cut Is per cent. The
cut on Sunday newspapers is 20 per

September 1.
If the saving of paper by October 1
is not great enough to insure a sup
ply based on these restrictions, lit is
announced that the curtailment IF
white paper will be still further in
creased.
These drastic orders by the govern
ment have followed a white paper
shortage which has cent the price of
white paper to such prohibitory prices
that hundreds of publications in the
United States have suspended, others
have combined. Others are being pub
lished at loss. others are doing the
inevitable, advancing rates.
Newspapers are now paying Vir-
tually twice the before-the-war price
for raw materials. Increases on SUBJ
scription and advertising rates in
hundreds of. instances have been un-
able to save the publications.

Soldiers have been called out in

The riots are the outgrowth of the rice
riots which began week ago. Mobs
at first contented themselves with
raiding rice shops and demanding
lower prices.
Japanese farmers have boarded the

In some places the police have

Toxic, Aug. 19.-The newspapers
have been prohibited from printing re-

day by Minister of the Interior Mizuno
says that the governors have assured
the ministry that the disorders are
abating steadily.
The organization of proprietors and
editors of newspapers has adopted a

to As Draft Thursday.
Win War Soon as Possible Is
Keynote at Washington.
BY JUNE 80, 100000 MEN
Younger Men-1S and 19-Will
Not Be Called Until That Time.
Six Months Training Here
Married Men Not Exempt.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Secretary of
War Baker. with General March and
Provost Marshal General Crowder, ap-
peared before the house committee at
opening hearings to reiterate their exs
PLANTATION given that immediate enact
ment of the manpower bill is impera-
tive in order to carry out the en-
larged war program.
There are two ways of prosecut-
ing this war" Mr.. Baker said. "One
way is to make every possible effort
to do it.now and the other is to pro-
ceed somewhat more leisurely and do
it later. The obvious advantage from
every standpoint, social, military, in
dustrial and economic, is to put forth
every effort in this country and win
the war as soon as possible"
Consideration of the bill will begin
in the senate Thursday.
Leaving an explanation of the man
power situation to General Crowder,
the secretary announced that because
of objections to calling boys of Is he
had planned to defer their call as long
placing provision in the bill making
a separate class of men between Is
and 19 years and for deferring call
ing them ''as far as practicable" un-
til after others in class 1 had been ex-
hausted.
Get All Men Necessary.
There is sentiment in this COM
mittee," said Mr.. Baker, 81 don't
know how large-against calling men
as young as Is unless it is absolutely
necessary. L think the sentiment of
the country is to get all the men
necessary. But from the beginning !
have planned as matter of regula-
ton to have men from Is to 19 put in
a separate class with a view to de-
ferring their call until 1t is neces-
sary."
He added that this preferences
might well be left to executive -egu-
lations, but he would have no objec-
ton to having q specific provision
written into the bill.
Regarding exemption of married
men, Secretary Baker was closely ex-
amined by committee members. Rep
resentative Tilson, of Connecticut, sug-
gested that many men are being mar
ried to evade the new draft and hat
the bill should provide that those
married after the nsw bill was intro
duced should not be exempt. Mt
Baker said such rigid provision OF
