THE AUSTRIAN PEACE
TERMS

The terms Of the armist!ce accorded
to Austria are as harsh as the worst
Hun hater could wish.
The 1ntelligencer does not remem-
her A cap,tulation in modern times so
humtlating to the beaten party and
involving so complete surrender or
fighting forces, fighting material and
territorial sovereignty. Not even
when Napoleon forced his terms upon
the beaten Austrians, and the Persians
a few months later, was the defeat OF
the vanquished 80 complete and the
surrender Of authority so sweeping.
The Empire OF the Hapsburgs has
ceased to exist. After 8 o'clock yes
terday the Austrian army practically
went out OF existence. In addition to
the very great losses in men 1t has
been compelled to surrender half OF lis
fighting material and retire to points
in Austrian territory away back Of the
border. The disintegraHon at home
will surely result in the breaking up
of the Austrian fighting force and they
will probably never again be gathered
together under the banner OF the Haps-
burg family. Hereafter We may ex-
pect to SEQ tho Czechs. Of Bohemia;
the Slavs, OF Gallcia. Transylvania,
Bosnia, Herzegovina. and the Italians,
OF Trent and Trieste. active on the
side OF the Allies. The collapse OF the
Austrians. therefore. not only means
the destruction Of one Of the Teutonic
powers but also a distinct addition to
the man power Of the forces that are
fighting Germany.

presses the German estimate OF me

is not too much to say that the fighting

so contemptously in 1911 has been the

THE COAL SITUATION

The coal production Of western
Pennsylvania was curtailed about fifty
thousand tons last week BY the influ-
enza Reports from other coal pro-
ductng sections indicate considerable
falling OF tn coal production. and sus-
gests the possibility OF another coal
famine the coming winter. In spite
of most strenuous efforts the increase
in the coal production in 1918 over
1917 has only averaged about per
cent, while the consumption has fully
kept pace with the increase. 1t is not
likely that we will have another winter
like the one passed through last year,
but It is well TO be forcwarned pcopl"
who can. from local supplies or from
unusual sources, obtain enough fuel to
carry them through the winter, should
make all effort to do so. Throughout
the coal producing territories there
are many. small mines that may be
opened up and furnish small local
supplies, and in other sections there
are substitutes which may be used to
advantage. Coal saving and coal con.
serration now may mean much addi-
tional comfort during January and
February.
