International News Service:
WASHINGTON, Jan. %. The
Russian bolshevfki is responsible for
the present crisis i'm Austria Hun
gary. Its agents have fomented
strikes among the civil population
and by fraternizing with the troops
on the eastern fronts its military
chiefs have spread discord among
tke Austrian soldiers. The situation
in many respects parallels that which
prevailed in Russia for a fortnight
before the Russian revolution which
.deposed the car. according to con-
.hdential official dispatches which
reached Washington today.
Hesitate TO Forecast.
Officials hesitate to forecast what
may be expected Failure of the
Austrian high command TO take
sternly repressive measures has
puzzled both state department and
diplomatic officials here There are
two reasons either of which might
he the compelling one. First. there
is the possibility-and many officials
in Washington hold TO this belief
that the entire program Of strikes
and internal troubles is heavily
camoufiaged and that while they
are real enough and are inspired 10y
the socialists VINO are working
along boIsheviki lines, they carry
with them no danger to the military
control Secondly, there is a pos
sibility that the unrest throughout
the empire is so widespread that the
emperor and his advisers fear 10
use the military i'm endeayorins 20
put it down.
Crisis Will Come Soon.
In either event the situation must
crystallize within the next fort
night Today's Stockholm dispatches
TO the international News service
stating that bitter hostility is being
manifested between the German
and Austrian troops ON the eastern
front, are fully confirmed 10y The
diplomatic advices reaching here to-
day. These say that the bitter am
tipathy toward the war is spreading
TO all classes i'm Austria and that the
time shortly viii be ripe FOR % gem
uine separate peace movement be
tween the entente and Austria.
Emperor Charles is reported rs
being very heavily guarded His
ministers are endeavorinE 20 settle
the general strikes with promises of
widespread reforms They are also
demanding that Germany furnish
food supplies to meet the famine
conditions. Whether these moves
will prove successful it is impossible
at this time to say
BOIsheVikism Spreads.
Incidentally one subject that is
coming more and more under dis
cussion in Washington is the gen
eral spread Of bolshevi<ism through
ont the world denounced as anarchy
