London, May 6.-"There are at least
a dozen different crises in Austria to-
day." wrote one of the best-informed
English correspondents. "All these
crises appear to concentrate on the
problem of food. Even the racial ami
mosities of the composite empire,
which have always been the weak tim
bers Of its structure, have been in
famed into unusual bitterness by sec
tional jealousies over food distribu-
ton. These crises appear to have
ments decision to prorogue Parlia-
ment during the present phase Of the
war for the reason that it could not
help, but only hinder, in the solving
of economic problems on which every
thing depends, in the words Of semi
official explanation.
Before this announcement was
made Premier Won Seydler met party
leaders, impressed upon them the
necessities of the situation, offered
vague promises of reforms for the dis
contented races demands and issued
warning that any agitation would be
dealt with by all lawful means.
Parliamentary government, or
rather parliamentary debates, are to
be suppressed indefinitely and an au.
tocratic government will try to hold
the helm.
What straits Austria has reached
were partly revealed by the premier's
speech and also by the German Off
cial statement that all food supplies
from Ukraine this month will be CIV
en- to Austria on account of her great
er need.
Food Crises OVershadawed.
"The Hague correspondent Of the
Times, discussing the German food
shortage yesterday, remarked:
Even the ordinary German public
realizes that something worse than
food scarcity threatens Austria"
The Vossische zeitung of Berlin
says: "The announcement by Pre-
mier Won Seydler of Austria Of the
appointment of district food admins
traitors in Bohemia is the fulfillment
of one of the most insistent demands
Of the German population of that re-
gion."

strong nerves, good rich blood, good
stomach, liver and kidneys. When the
time comes, the man with red blood in
his veins "is up and at it." He has iron
nerves for hardships-an interest in his
work grips him. That's the way you
feel when you have taken blood and

ST, LOUIS STR|kf SITUATION SHOWS
 NO IMPROVEMENT

St Louis, Feb. 6-Assurances that the United Railways company would not import men to break the street car strike were given today by President McCulloch of the street car company to the executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce.
 MT. McCulloch was firm that the com nany would not deal with the Amalga- mated Association of Street and Elec- tric Railway Emploves. He said the men the company would use to operate the cars were former employees who desire to return to work. Union leaders, however, said their watchers had seen strike breakers brought in on trains.
 The company made little progress today in operating cars,. only eight more being out than yesterday, or a total of 112 cars were run with a fair degree of regularity on two or three main lines, but service was far below normal. The company this evening operated cars until 7:30, about an hour later than last night.

 Baker Quiz HeldUp.
 The military committee did not get far with it's examination of Mr. Baker, altho he was questioned for three hours, because he demurred at telling in open session the basis for his assertion that the prospects were not unpromising for enough ships to put 100000 American soldiers in France this year After much dis cussion in which Senator Hitchcock, who has termed the secretary's state ment wildly exaggerated and pre- posterous," insisted upon an answer to his question. The committee agreed that the information should be given in secret session, and MT. Baker promised to prepare a state ment for the purpose. The exam ination then turned to other subjects.
 When the war secretary left the stand it was the understanding that he would have experts at the department prepare detailed information, which he was unable to give, concerning various phases of his general statement. After this has been done, he may be recalled for further questioning.
