10 VIII Fight for Democratic
State.

London.-Dispatche received here
from the continent indicate that the
strike in Austria continues formidable
and that the forces of unrest which
have been loosed are precipitating a
political situation of increasingly grave
possibilities. The democratic move
ment in the empire has received a
great impetus, which has been empha-
sized by the Bohemian demand for self
determination pressed in the Vienna
parliament.
Reports received in Copenhagen
from Vienna, as forwarded by the Ex-
change Telegraph correspondent, indl-
cate that 100000 men there are still
on strike and that the strike also con-
tinues In Budapest. A Vienna dispatch
to the Vosslsche Zeitung Of Berlin says
that, while work. was resumed in part,
the strike continues in a plumber OF
large factories.
Reporting the sitting of the Austrian
parliament, the Vosslsche Zeitung
draws a picture of Premier Won Seyd-
Ter In state of helplessness, sur
rounded by excited Czechs and other
hecklers, In scene Of turmoil. After
the premier had replied to an Interpret
lation respecting. the resolution adopt
ed by the Prague deputies demanding
the right of self determination the
Czechs shouted:
Lies! Away with Won Seydler!
You are another General Hoffman !"

bile. The monarchy must be entirely

This was one of the most important
statements which Lord Rhondda. Brit
Ish food controller, made In an inter-
view with the Associated Press. The
controller described the food shortage
In Great Britain as most serious bur
not such as would be detrimental TO
the health Of the population with prop
er management of supplies and will
ingness on the part of the people 10
accept equally nourishing substitutes
for some food they had been accus-
toned. 10.
He referred to the difficulty OF dis
cusslng the subject frankly without
giving encouragement to the exagger-
ated hopes in Germany that this coun-
try was suffering severely from lack
of food. He drew a sharp distinction
between conditions In Great Britain
and In Germany, where the public
health, particularly that of women ana
children, had been dangerously under
mined by lack of nutrition and semi
starvation and where the working ef"
fectiyeness of the men had been de-
creased 80 per cent. In Britain, he
said, the self denial thus far praclced
had actually improved the physicf3r
condition Of the nation.
