Of the emperor in Berlin, and is not
yet sure of his ground. That he has not
yet screwed his courage up to the
sticking point Is indicated by the most
recent developments in the revelations
OF Premier Clemenceau Of France, in
which the Austrian emperor. after the
third year of the war, declared that he
was in sympathy with the ideals OF
France, and indirectly sent assurances
to President Poincare Of France that
he would use his influence in behalf
of France in the settlement Of the
Alsace-Lorraine issue and looking to-
ward the complete restoration of Bel
the trend OF his mind and his desire to
leAsen the antipathies existing between
his country and the allies in prepara-
ton for a possible break with the
kaiser. That the kaiser, however. is
still all-powerful in SO far as i'm

ruler that he ever expressed such sem
timents as revealed by the French gov
ernment.
Berlin has been greatly aroused over
the revelations made in Paris. Conse-
be shown to an even greater extent in
Austria In the immediate future, and
this will continue as long as the peo-
pie of Austria and Hungary submit to
Germanic domination.
The final answer to the riddle OF Aus
trian and Germanic relations will come
in the future when 1t is definitely de-
termined whether or not Germany is to
go down to eventual defeat on the bat
tie fields and the allied cause is to pre-
vail supreme. Undoubtedly military re-
verses on the western front, where 1t
now is declared the war must be de-
cided, will further crystalline the Czech
Slovac antagonism to Germanic prin-
ciples and strong pressure will be
brought againstN the present Austro-
Hungarian dynasty. Whether or not
Emperor Charles will see At to defy the
kaiser and heed the demands Of his
people. in order that his monarchy
may be preserved, remains, Of course, in
doubt. but 1t Is extremely likely that
in the final analysis the emperor will
be forced to capitulate In order to save
himself Seeing the handwriting on the
wall. Emperor Charles may act himself
before being forced to do so to bring
about peace between Austria Hungary
and the nations enemies irrespective
of Teutonic wishes.
The revelations Of Premier Clemen-
ceau are sure to bring about interest
ing developments In the relations be-
tween the central powers in the next
few weeks.

that the second battle of the Somne
is rapidly taking on the color and char

verdun, with all that verdun means to
the German and allied publics.
It is well to recall once more the
exact circumstances under which the
present German campaign was under-
taken. The Germans did not attack IN
Ptcardy in 1918 as the French did In
Champagne in 1915. to relieve an any

breaking through. They did not at
