NEW YORK, March S.-Relations be-
tween Austria Hungary and Germany
have not been improved by the recent
strike movement in Austria Hungary,
and by the various editorials and
speeches explaining the strike as pro-
test against the annexationist propa-
ganda of the Germans, as is shown
by the comments in the German press
in the latter part of January. Newspa-
pers such as the Cologne Gazette re-
sent the attitude of the Niennese and
lament the utterances they made, de-
claring that the cause of peace was not
served by them.
A significant feature in the German
press comments is the fact that dis
cussion has been Precipitated as to
which of the two countries had render
ed the greater service to the other dur
ing the war.
The BerIiner Tageblatt of January
- says there are many people in Ger
many who claim that the peoples Of
AuStria-Hungary seem to forget easily
what the German nation and army have
done for them. These persons, by their
attitude. have injured Germany 50 i'm
meusely in the eyes of the world. and
have alienated cordial friendships, the
paper says. and that they are also to be
thanked for the fact that the almost
excessive sympathy with which every
thing German was viewed in Austria
during the first year of the war has not
been retained in its unalloyed purity.
But the people of Austria, says the
Berlin paper, cannot forget that in
their liberated territories, extending
from Bukow!na and the snow covered

TO THE PEOPLE OF CONVICTION.

The Cleanup Committee of the
w. p. U. has been vested with au-
thority to supervise the cleaning up
of the Town of Covington; and
Whereas the matter has been con-
sidered of such Importance that the
entire time of the committee has
been devoted to devising ways and
means by which the greatest interest
might be aroused in the people and a
full realization brought to them of
the value of thorough cleanliness
and sanitation.
1t is therefore urged that we make
a special appeal for loyal and patri-
otto support in the effort that will
be made to have Thursday, April
Is, 1918, set aside as Cleanup Day
by proclamation of the Mayor, day
on which every one will enter into
the true spirit of cleanliness and
help to make Covington free of all
filth of every kind, upholding its
reputation for healthfulness and add
ing to its natural attractiveness. 1t
is heartily urged that not only trash
be disposed of, but that paint be
used to brighten the appearance of
fences, sheds and houses. The use
Of disinfectants will be found to fully
repay the trouble and expense of
using them.
