Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Wash, Feb. 23.-Whether four Austrians of the National army. accused of threatening to shoot their officers and betray their comrades to the enemy at the first opportunity in France, will be interned Or tried on a treason charge, depends on an investigation by the judge-advocate's office, it was an nounced today.

South Will Suffer Unless She
 Feeds Herself, Says Ousley

Washington, Feb. 23.-Clarence Ousley, assistant secretary of agri- culture, in a statement tonight. warns that if the South neglects this year to provide her own food and feed, she is likely to suffer serious privation, and will put burden upon the nation which may prolong the war and even imperil victory
 "I am not expressing an alarmist personal opinion,' the statement says. q am seeing thru the eyes of AS ag- ricultural colleges and of county agents in nearly every agricultural county. The plain truth is that with 100000 people withdrawn from pro-

ductive industries, it is not humanly possible for production to exceed norm- al demand. The question is whether production can equal demand.
 "For the South to plunge on cotton or tobacco and to depend upon the corn belt for bread and meat will be for the South to engage in a gamble which may cause privation to it's people and disaster to the nation. My whole life has been spent in the South. I know the Southern farmer. He will do his duty as he sees it. I am appealing to every man in the South to make known these facts. and shall have no doubt of the results.'

NOW OFFERING REPRESENTATION
 IN GOVERNMENT
German and Austrian Military Leaders Now Realize That to Hold People, Must Give
 All Elements Consideration
CRv RevIew Lease.i vVIr..,

! WASHINGTON. Get. 2.-Sigus are multiplying in reports reaching the state department from various agen
 cies in neutral European countries of the rapid weakening of the despotic control which the military elements in Germany and Austria have imposed upon the civil population. American officials are becoming convinced that the imperial rulers have been forced, however. reluctantly, to the conviction that if they are to preserve their dy- nasties from destruction they must yield to the growing demand of the civilian elements for the right of par ticipation iE the government during this crisis
 The military parties have retained their control only because of their as. sociated ability to secure a military decision that would confirm German supremacy over continental Europe and the British Isles as we'll Now that the German armies are being de- feated and driven back into Germany and the nation is confronted with the painful certainty of an invasion and the eXaction of justice for the wrongs inflicted upon the French and Bel gians. the influence of the pan-Ger- mans and the military parties is wan ing It is believed that the two em perCrs have decided that if they are to retain the support of the people. they must turn to the civilian parties that have been demauding voice in affairs It was pointed out today that a. clared that with the military rulers of the central powers. convicted of break ing faith. and deceit. there can be no discussion of peace for which the German people apparently are clamOr ing. Hence the belated attempts of the emperOrs to erect a structure of real democratic government through the creation Of cabinets responsible to the parliaments in the hope that with these the entente statesmen will be willing to confer about peace.
 Indications of such a purpose are discerned by American officials in various utterances and acts of the German and Austrian leaders In his acceptance of the resignation of Pre- mier von Hertling. Emperor William appealed TO lne slTouS men or ter many 10 come to his aid and share the burdens of government, a direct bid for the support of the socialists and centrists in return for participation in the cabinet
 Then there are the statements in leading German newspapers, signifi cant because they have passed the scrutiny of the German censors that the creation of a responsible cabinet is under consideration. Next is the re- fusal of the socialists tO enter the gov ernment as at present constituted in- dicative of a determination to hold out for the right of the majority party i' the reichstag tO name the members of the cabinet. even though that involves the change Of the German constitu- tion.

TO HOLD TRENCHES

PARIS, Oct. 2-The development in the situation on the American front northwest of Verdun tend to confirm ehe opinion that it is the enemy's ap. parent intention to hold on to the Kriemhilde- e-Steelung system of trench es running from Brieulles to the Bois De Cunel. thence south to Gesnes, then south along the ridges in the vi cinity of ExermOnt. crossing the Aire river, one kilOmeter north of Pore mont.
 The American line boardly conforms to this developing a situation similar to that after St. Mihiel, with a broad outpost zone.
 There is continuous artillery activ ity along this sector, and the Ameri- can air forces are working without cessation. Last evening American pursuit planes engaged eight Fokkers and it is believed that one of the enemy's machines crashed.
