Interest Crisis Since War.

Geneva, Jan. 22.-Some of a relia- ble measure has been begun to trickle across the Swiss frontier which seem ingly proves that Austria and Hung ary are in throes of the greatest econ omic crisis since the war began. It is estimated that more than million workmen and women have struck. A majority of these were employed in the war industries and only small section of them have returned in an- swer to the bait of higher wages. The remainder, it is said, are assuming a more threatening attitude and daily are demanding peace and cheaper food. It is stated that Hungary absolutely refuses to give cereals. either to Aus tria or to Germany and that the Ru- manian stock of grain is exhausted. The military situation is involved and even endangered by the strike which continue.

UNREST SHOULDERS UNDER TEMPORARY
 AUSTRIAN CALM Abatement of Internal Situ- ation Not Permanent,
 Is Thought.
PEOPLE OF EMPIRE
 TIRED OF CONFLICT
Statement Oi Government That IL Would Make Peace With No AnneXa. ti0nS or IndemnitieS Shows Ap-
 preciation of Serious Condition.
Associated Press Summary.)


 While the bitter internal political situation in Austria Hungary seems to nave abated somewhat in intensity, the latest indications are that beneath the surface the fire of discontent iS merely smoldering. and that at no dis tant date it again will break out Into a veritable conflagration. The poli- ticians. apparently with optimistic utterances have quieted the situation that admittedly is fraught with grave possibilities so far as the dual mon- archy is concerned but the known war wealiness of the populace and the food shortage are likely soon again to bring the people into sharp discord with the authorities.
 The general strike, which it is as- serted took more than million men and women from their work, large portion of them engaged in war ln- dustries. virtually ended Monday morn ing. but at last accounts the people were clamoring for food and for a cessation of hostilities.
 "Rcady for Peace.@
 At the noment of the outburst of public Giscontent and throughout the days when the discord was strongest the government of the dual monarchy showed it was keenly alive to the necessity of calming the unrest lm- mediately the cry of peace arose, there came from the halls of the gov ernment the answer
 We are ready for peace without an nexation or indemnities. And it was added that this feeling was shared in 10 the utmost by the emperorking.
 The loquacious Austrian press heralded broadcast the alleged peace desires of the government and king, and it's utterances likely had much to do with the substance of the popular clamor With the return of the people to work. however. the newspapers ap- parently have felt the stern hand of the censor, for nothing concerning the situation in Austria or Hungary has been permitted to creeP through. Like wise in Germany the censorship seern- ingly is holding the newspapers in check as regards discussion of in- ternal affairs in that country. The only inkling of the still tense situation is contained in Leipsic newspaper. which announced the impending resig-
  chief of Emperor Williams naval cab met, who is declared to be out of har- mony with the pan-Germans, because of his desire for peace by under standing with Great Britain.
 Farley Status Same.
 The status of the situation as re- gards Russia and the Brest-Litvosk peace conference remains unchanged. Leon Trotsky, the Bolsheviki foreign minister, who now is in Petrograd, Is said to be preparing another note to the entente powers on the subject of peace.
 On the fighting front comparative calm prevails, except for artillery duels and small patrol engagements. That all has not gone on as planned with the Austrian armies in Italy is indicated by the fact that General Boroegic has been chosen by the Aus trian high command to succeed the Archduke Eugene as generalissimo on the entire Italian front.

AMERICAN BOY
 MISSING AFTER
 HARD FIGHTING
ASSOciatod PrpSsl

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. May S.-Flight Captain James Norman Hall, of Colfax. Iowa, one of the best known and most daring aviators connected with either the American or allied armies in France, is missing tonight after thrilling engagement in the air in which three American and four Ger man machines took part.
 Early this morning Captain Hall, accompanied by two other machines, left the aviation base near Foul and flew directly over the German lines. When they had gone about ten miles inside German territory. four boche planes were encountered and a spec tacular battle ensued. Two of the German planes were finally sent down out of control and the other two compelled to retire.
 The three American aviators, all apparently in good condition. started on their return. but only two ar rived safely at the base in France. The fate of Captain Hall is purely conjectural. as he was last seen flying high and well on his way to safety. It is supposed that he was compelled to land within the Ger man lines, and there is a possibility that he may yet show up.

U. s. DOES NOT
 WAIT CONSENT
 FROM GERMANY

 LONDON, May S.-In response to Switzerland's urgent appeal for food. where a famine is imminent, the United States is sending four yes. sells loaded and armed and accom-. panied by convoy of battleships, in defiance of the German U-boats.
 When Germany was asked to al. low the passage of these boats with. out molestation, she refused to con- cede to the request. regardless of the fact that the people in Switzer. land are starving and are in no way connected with the war.
 The German government stated that it would require three months to inform her U-boat commanders that the relief ships were to pass un. disturbed. The United States gov ernment then decided to arm several vessels heavily and send them in defiance of all German submarines The four vessels which have just left will be followed by others as quickly as they can be secured.

LETTER FROM OVERSEAS IS
 INTERESTING

In response to the greetings sent by number of Fairbanks ladies during a social function to the sol diers of France, a letter was received in one of the last mails, from over seas. Included in the letter were two views of the hospital at Neuilly France. in which are placed the four beds from Fairbanks.
 The extract pertaining to the greet ings sent is as follows:
 "I took the greetings and sigma lures of the ladies of Fairbanks over to the American hospital was not able to see the beds donated by Fairbanks, as the commemorative inscriptions sent from America were not yet there, but the superintendent a charming man, received me very cordially and promised to advise me as soon as the plaque would arrive
 "The views of the American hos. pital I am sending you do not give the real idea of the beauty of the building. These three edifices, seen from the front, make a better i'm. pression than in the pictures, which are side views.
 "The hospital of our American brothers is spacious and situated on a beautiful avenue. For the pres. ent Paris quietness is little dis. turbed by the noise of the bombs, boches and the firing of our pro. tective cannons. The long range cannons. boches, which, am glad to say, make more noise than harm killed yesterday 10 people and wound ed 15. Today there will probably be as many. Of course our sympa thy goes to those innocent victims often women and children. But as military results there is absolutely no gain for the Germans. We simply have to smile, thinking that Ger. many hopes to bring demoralization among the Parisian population with a few dead and wounded, but the morale is Gas it ever was and ever will bel excellent.
 Let us suppose that one of the German bombs sends me to the other world tomorrow. what differ ence does it make? Children of France, we are only keeping the traditions of our ancestors, so when we are gone our children will have the same ideals. The war brought to light virtues that were unsus- pected."

TO
 COME IN JUNE:
 TO FURNISH 4

The local board yesterday received telegram from Juneau advising that the induction of registrants would occur between the first and the fifteenth of June.
 The telegram is as follows:
 Juneau, Alaska, May :, 1918. "Heilig, Fairbanks.
 No. A 256. Your net current quota is forty-seven men. It is esti- mated that you will be called upon between the first and fifteenth of June to induct these men into ser. vice. It therefore is requested that you bend every energy to the end of preparing our quota for delivery between these dates. The number 'of men mentioned is net, the number you are required to furnish over and above all credits.
 HUNT, Executive Officer"
 The quota to be furnished by AL aska is 696, and of this number Local Board No. r will furnish 47 A telegram was received some time ago stating that registrants summon ed to the service will not be sent to the States for training, but will re- port to the commanding officer of the first battalion of the Fourteenth infantry now stationed in Alaska. The present commanding officer is Captain George w. kohler. whose headquarters at present are Fort Liscum, near Valdez
 Should the entire quota be called, there is not sufficient accommoda- tions at Fort Liscum or any other military station in Alaska, and it is almost certain that the men called will be assigned to the army post nearest to the place of induction for training, in which event those from Fairbanks and other places will be sent to Fort Gibbon.
 The announcement of the probable date of induction will be of great interest to those subject to the draft, as they can make their future plans accordingly.
