Charles of Austria has commanded
Premier Won seydler to carry on the
| government, but he has failed to tell

here indicate that the premier has
enormous difficulties ahead of him.
as the Poles remain adamant in their
attitude of opposition to his policy.
In fact the Poles already have de-
c1ared that they will not even con-
| slider economic concessions with
which. 1t is reported. DR.. Won Seydler
intended to placate them. The pre-
mier now has appealed to the Poles

resolved to fight any government that
yields to German demands, and they
audience the other day that they

Ukrainians to the Rescue.
On the other hand. the Ukrainian
members of the Austrian parliament
the German national party in support
Of Won Seydler to the extent of de-
claring that they will vote for both
the budget and the war credit on
office. They are quoted as saying they
will not tolerate his dismissal at the
behest of the Poles.
The Christian socialists declare they
will only stand by Premier Won Seyd-
ler If the old regime in Bohemia Is
rnnffnnad and thew q 6at n ed f0
resist any further anti-state agita-
tion.
The attitude of the German socialists
in the Austrian parliament still Is OBJ
scure. They probably will await the
course of events and. according to re-
ports. are to be persuaded to vote for
the budget, but will refrain from vot-
ing on the war credit.

paid visit to Won Seydler and have
assured him Of their personal friend
ship and good will.

occurred in Vienna. but beyond the
bare mention of the stopping Of street
| cars. the smashing of factory windows
and the raiding Of bread carts, no fur
ther details are available here.
Strike at Budapest Ends.
At Budapest the strike has come to
an end after an appeal by the socialist
leaders on the ground that the parlia-
mentarians of all political shades.
with few exceptions. have left them
in the lurch.
Newspapers which have appeared in
the Hungarian capital after being
suspended for four days, regard the
collapse of the strike as a serious
setback for the Karolyi party, which
had espoused the demands of the
strikers. The ending of the strike also
is considered to have strengthened the
hands of the government.
Premier Wekerle, replying in the
house Of magnates to the charge that
he had not acted with sufficient en-
ergy in putting down the strike, said :
Against the foreign enemy would
have adopted the strongest measures,
but here 1 was confronted with my
own people. and the utmost circum-
spectfon and prudence were called
for"
