RESIGNATION OF CABINET ACCEPTED

Reports coming by way of Amster- dam are to the effect that King Charles has accepted the resignation of the Hungarian cabinet and charged Pre- mier Wekerle with the task of forming a new one.
 On the battle fronts there has been no change in the general situation. h. termittent artillery duels and patrol encounters continue on various sectors. Near Capo Sile, on the lower Piave river the Austrians again have at tempted to penetrate Italian bridge- head positions but met with repulse.
 All over the Venetian plain from Lake Garda to the Piave river there have been numerous air battles in which Austro- German aviators were worsted. In their incursions the en- emy again bombed Treviso and Mestre, killing or wounding several non-com batants Three hospitals in Mestre were badly damaged by bombs from hostile airplanes.
 Count Czernin, the Austro- Hunga- rian minister it is reported from Nien- ma on good authority, has announced to the Austrian delegations that the text of his speech on the Austrian war aims was forwarded to President Will son before it's delivery. This had caused great sensation, according to the Cologne Gazette, which interprets it to mean that actual steps had already been taken to bring about an exchange of views between the western powers and Russia and Germany.
 Pan-German papers express the opinion that Count CZernin's peace in vitation to President Wilson is indi- | cative of a break in the Austro Ger man alliance.

PEACE DESIRE
 IS UNSATlATED

The German chancellor's speech to the main committee of the reichstag on Germany's requirements for peace has not quenched the thirst of the great mass of the people outside the militaristic realm for a cessation of hostilities. The furore created among this branch of the people has been so great, apparently, that pan-German newspapers are declaring that Field Marshal von Hindenburg and his right hand man, General Von Ludendorff, are talking of replying
 The militaristic wing seemingly is of the opinion that the words of the chancellor were too moderate; the proletariat, desiring peace, considers his speech as evasive. One of the Ger man newspapers characteriZes it as equivalent to battle won by the en- emy."
 From Austria there is a notable lack in comment on the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister's address to the reichsrath, possibly indicating that the government censors are holding back expressions of opinion by a majority of | the newspapers which, gauged by pre- vious utterances, would be favorable to peace and antagonistic to the Ger man viewpoint as set forth by Count | Irop Hartlino
