somewhat conflicting, and it is difficult
to ascertain the actual facts. but I
am told on good authority that the
sailors revolted because of the increas-
ing dangers Of submarine work ow-

methods. They melted other sailors
about to leave on submarine cruises
either to attack their ship Or to take
the first opportunity Of sinking their
ship and getting themselves interned
in neutral harbors.' More than fifty
submarines disappeared, sometimes
with all hands.
""The revelations made at Wilhelms-
haven caused a. great sensation
among the people who were informed
of them. The police arrested twenty
three ringleaders, who were court

present state of Austria-Hun-l
gary, as represented by the prisoners
taken lately on the Italian front, is ex-
tremely serious. Mutiny and desertion
in the army, and food riots and strikes
among the civil population occur
throughout her heterogeneous empire.
According to these accounts Austria
seems to be going gradually back to
a reproduction Of the old medieval

now are required to rejoin as soldiers.
Military patrols sent against them
often go over to the mutineers.
There is an organization Of armed
fugitives from the service in Moravia,
which is known as the Green Guards.
and Is said to be 100000 strong, while
in Hungary a sort Of Robin Hood
band has come into being, which calls
itself the Royal and imperial Bri-
gands Of Bihar." These genial out
laws are already heroes Of popular
stolen ammunition and supplies hid
den in the forests.
Centers Of the settled population
also are not free from disorder. Ger
man troops have been called In to
crush Austrian and Hungarian tu-
mults at Innsbruck, Budapest, and in
Wallachia, and one of the chief sourc-
es of trouble throughout the country
is the regimental depots where men
In Bohemia the civil population, too,
raids the food trains as they pass
through from the Ukraine, being CIV
en- timely warning of their arrival by
the railway officials.
There were strikes at the big Skoda
works in June. The work people blew
up a part of the factory and paraded
through the streets. Bavarian regi-

CALL ON AUSTRIA
TO REFORM HERSELF
Socialist Deputies Waxn That Empire
as at Present Constituted Cam
Z. mt TA0.

Italian Army Headquarters, Au8
17.-It would seem from a motto0
that is to be introduced in the Aus.
TRAN parliament by a group OF g.
cialist deputies that some Of the moro
enlightened elements in Austria-Hun-
gary are beginning to think on lines
which bring them closer to the Allies
point of view. The motion says:
1.-THE present condition Of Austria
cannot last. Democracy is a modern
necessity, but democracy is impos-
sible in a state whose national life
is paralyzed by the continual strugt
giles of eight separate peoples COM
posing 1t, and where national repre-;
sentation. divided by racial interest,
falls a prey to the. bureaucracy.
Democracy will only be possible in
Austria when the country Is trans
formed into a confederation Of free
nations. In enemy countries Austria,
as at present constituted, is regarded
as an eternal impeachment to the lib
erty of the peoples of Europe. which
must be destroyed. Austria should
show that she is capable of reforming
herself on a liberal basis. AS a demo-
cratic federation Of peoples she could
secure an economic peace more
easily"
These details are given by the
Arbeiter Zeitung Of Vienna, but it is
to be feared hat these Socialists are
no more than voices crying in the
wilderness.

The financial condition Of North

the very careful and rigid business
supervision and the careful and thor

issuing certificates of admittance un-
der this guaranty for bank deposits,
each bank admitted has undergone
a thorough scrutiny and has. been
forced to make a complete financial
