view of the lack of official notification

The gates were thrown open, the
drawbridge was lowered with a noise

very medieval, and in the courtyard

Political Group Seeks to

to United States
Food Grows Scarcer
City Turns OFF Lights Early
to Save Coal; Many Want
to Come Here

VIENNA. Nov. 90 (By The Associated
Press).-The political situation here is
apathetic. There is talk of revolution
ON all sides, though those proposing to
overthrow the government admit the
uselessncss of such an action.
The correspondent, whose presence
is known throughout the city, has had
many visitors, one of whom said he
represented political group which
wished to know If ii were possible to
annex Austria to the United States. He
SAID that Austria was now in a hopeless
situation, surrounded by enemies, both
men and women, who were rutnlessly
robbing.
The correspondents visitors, who
swelled to such numbers as to almost
prevent him and the other correspond
cnts from preparing dispatches, wish
either to write to friends or relatives
IN the United States or else to go there
to work.
Food conditions in Vienna are gradu-
ally becoming more difficult. with the
poor eating black bread in small quan-
titles and a soup made of water and
baked flour or vegetables. The lack of
iats is undermining strength even of
the rich, who are able to eat large but
unsatisfying food portions 1t is Ger
tain there are some provisions in the
country districts, but the farmers part
with their food supplies only to speeu-
'ators in exchange for the shoes,
clothes, tobacco or money they need
In the poor quarters of Vienna the
women say they have no understanding,
all the pre-war stocks having been
used up.
1t is family calamity when it Is
necessary to buy shoes for any mem
Der, since the purchase means half a
months salary. 1t is familiar sight
in the restaurants, where meals cost
So and upward, to see patrons carry off
scraps of food in paper.
The grip has become prevalent again
in this city and at Budapest, with more
fatal results than in the former cpl
demic, although the cases as yet are
not 50 numerous.
Vienna tonight for the first time
took on the appearance of war zone

PARIS, Nov. % (By The Associated

ton in Rumania is causing great mis-
cry, George Danielopol, the newly APP
pointed Rumanian Minister to Wash

There is little food in Rumania, and
clothing and shoes are absolutely un-

feet and they lack nourishment, MAX

When Count Czernin pointed out that

General Ludendorff, striking the table,
exclaimed:
"The same day that Austria con-
cludes a separate peace, it will receive

That will be our only answer to such
a breach"
Count Czernin thereupon returned to
Vienna and told the Emperor that moth
