latest aims speech will hasten tnc
elimination Of Austria from the war
If they read the signs Alright con-
corning Austria she will take Tie
Presidents conciliatory profIers
while her liberals and her war-worn
population will start new upheaval,
Whether this will immediately
amount to a. revolution is doubtful
But that the Presidents speech gives
new leverage to the revolution IS op.
vious.
And Austria. tired Of the struggle
and growing diseontented at pulling
German chestnuts from the fire,
sooner or liter will heed the Pres'-
dents troadguaec rrotfer Of nc"
chance at peace, authorities declare.
Austria IS the main hope uTcH
which the Wilson peace drive has
been and is conferred. The Presidents
latest speech, based outwardIy on
thc fricrdEncss Of the CZelnin PC

was. however. founded on reports

ard this fact plus Wilson'S disclaimer
If anv territory wanted by the United
