Herein lies the transcendant signii-
cance of the news that came through
during the last twenty-four hours
from the two Teutonic capitals. Aus
tria-Hungary's peace clamorins
ma sses, it was learned: have quieted
down only upon one condition. name
IL, that their rulers now and imme-
diately force a backdown OF the Ger
man annexationists and make peace
With Russia as a beginning, but pref
,rabIy a general peace. Promptly
the crisis switched from the Danube
Empires interior to between Vienna
and Berlin. Its central figure is Count
Won Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian
foreign minister.
Bolshevikism, while nagging away at
the groundwork of the Hapsburg mon
archy, has at the same time placed in
to Hapsburg hands a powerful weapon
with which to cut themselves loose
from vassaIage to the Hohenzolierns.
This weapon Count Czernin began to
flourish today. With It he means TO
force the German Junkerist backdown
and then peace with Russia without
annexation. Failing in that he Will
have the alternative Of making sepa-
rate peace with Russia as the only
'aveuue of escape from an Austro-
hungarian internal backdown.

Reichstag. At the same time Count
Czernin is expected to speak at Vienna.
Count Czernin, 1t was seen from to-
days news, has strengthened Aus
tria's position immeasurably by his
steadfast adherence to the Russian
formula OF NO annexations." The
speeches tomorrow are expected to
show precisely how wide is the gap
between Berlin and Vienna on this
issue.
Into the political tension reigning
between the two Kaiser's capitals,
came. like a bombshell, news from
the East front of a clash between
German and Austrian troops. Aus
trians and Russians were fraternizing,
it said, and Germans, ordered to stop
this, entered the Austrian trenches to
clear out the Russians. Then blood
shed began. Artillery participated.
There was a casualty list. In this
miniature battle, as in the great poll
tical drama, the Austrians were the
aggressors. Bolshevikism was the
cause.
The Bolsheviki, have kept and are
keeping the closest possible track
of the wandering OF their pet octo-
pus through the Austrian empire.
Characteristic of their sentiment
is the following statement by NJ.
LitvinOff, the Bolshevist represent
atiye in London, made to British
labor at Nottingham:
I'VE can already hear the rum
blings of a storm in Austria from
the result at Brest-Litovsk"

M'ADOO URGES
CONGRESS TO
PASS HIS BILL
Railroad Director Asserts
Measure Is Needed for
War Financing.

Director General McAdoo made a
final appeal to Congress yesterday
for immediate passage Of the admin
istration railroad bill He declared
the success of $1,000, 900 900 war financ-
ing which he said the country must
do between now and June. depended
on action at once.
Without having definitely said so,
McAdoo left the committee with the
impression that the nation, intends to
dispose of that amount of securities.
He said that without the stabilizing
effect of the government guaranty of
railroad revenues contained In the
bill, he could do nothing.
Opposition Evident.
Although Chairman Sims assured
McAdoo of the committees co-opera-
! ton, there was no indication that
hostility to Section 1S-permitting
the government to hold the roads in
definitely after the war-had ceased.
Mr.. McAdoo repeated in substance
before the committee the statement
made by him several days ago to
the effect that the railroads can
never return to the conditions of
private management under which
they were operated before the war.
when they are returned to their
private owners il they are return
ed" he told the committee, they
will be operated under a govern
mental control much more far
reaching than existed in the past
If the government is hurried into
returning the roads to private con-
troll after the war. the experience
gained by the government in operat-
ing them. and wkieh could be- r.,ti-
Hzed in perfecting wider degree
of supervision over them. will have
been useless. Ultimately, then.
without an acceptable program per-
fected, the alternatives would be
government ownership or chaos.
Indeed 1 think it altogether like
ly that If the railroads are well
managed and show a profit under
government operation, and we were
forced to decide within year
whether the properties should go
back to their owners or not, the
American people would probably de-
mand that the roads be not return
ed.
May Accept Change.
McAdoo denied emphatically, a re-
port that the railroads are Lying down
on the job to show up government
control" Replying to a question from
Representative Winslow, of Massa-
chusetts, he said:
When the roads were first taken
over, officials and employees alike felt
In an uncertain position. That was
only human nature. Lately 1 have
received the most encouraging reports
of loyal cooperation from men and
officers"
McAdoo said further he had no in
tention, although widely urged" to
increase passenger rates or further
curtail service.
Several members protested against
leaving "short-lines" out of the Fed
eral system.
Taking them in" said McAdoo,
would be like admitting cripples to the
army so they could collect soldiers
pay. 1t is an unthinkable proposition.
Short lines don't face ruin yet"
Just before leaving, McAdoo gave
an intimation that the administration
understands the serious opposition to
Section 13. He said speedy action was
so necessary that he would cheerfully
accept the committees decision on all
matters. despite his positive views on
this proposal.

CARSON HELPS
IRISH CAUSE
Passing of Ulster Man from
Cabinet May Advance
Home Rule.
BY ARTHUR $. DRAPER.
Special Cable to The washington
Herald and New York Tribune

anu
London, Jan. 23.-The Lloyd George
government gains and loses by the
resignation Of Sir Edward Carson from
| the war cabinet Whether the bal
ance remains in the premier's favor
depends on the point Of view.
The conservative leaders consider
Carson's resignation as a heavy blow
to Lloyd George, while many Liberal
and Labor leaders are glad he is no
longer associated with the govern
ment.
1t is circulated about that he is no
longer in sympathy with the govern
ment's attitude on the broader ques-
tions of war policy.
Certainly all moderate forces have
regarded Carson as a strong reac-
tionary and their chief opponent in
the government
His work as head OF Britian's pro-
paganda department also has aroused
much opposition. Carson always has
been exceedingly frank, totally un-
afraid and hard fighter.
Unlike. many other politicians he
has left no one in doubt, as to~where
he stood. Outside OF the government
he is likely to continue an important
public figure.
Revelations Promised.
There is little probability of a pol
itical crisis but the situation is far
from stable at the moment. The de-
cision of the Irish convention and
the labor conventions findings are
awaited with a considerable degree
of interest.
The attacks on the war office and
the general staff may lead to a horn
cts nest.
Col. Repington promises some start
ling revelations.
The fact Is that the conservatives
are exceedingly critical of the pre-
mier and no longer give him full SUM-
port. 1t Is unlikely that a conserya-
tive will succeed Carson. LLOYD
George would probably prefer a labor
representative, but labor has become
highly independent.
"As an indication of the conserya-
tive attitude toward Ireland, the fol-
lowing comment from the Evening
Standard is interesting:
THE Irish questions must be disposed
Of" declares this paper. There is no
greater moral or material handicap to
the allied cause. 1t provides ready
meat for the enemy. When we talk of
self-determination and autonomy and
the rest of it he points to Ireland. We
have shamefaced sense that political
virtue, like charity. should begin at
l.
chief embarrassment. 1t Is a thorn in
the side of our dominion ministers. 1t
is exploited everywhere by the enemies
Of Great Britain and the friends OF
Germany. We hope the government
will rise to its great opportunity, the
misuse Of which may prove fatal"

COAL INDUSTRY
MAY BE TAKEN
BY GARFIELD
Administrator Devises Plan
for Districting Country
to Speed Deliveries.

DR.. II. 4. Garfield, Fuel Administra-
tor, will play his last card short of
his ace, government operation OF coal
mines, within the next week. 1t is
his plan for districting the country in
the distribution of coal, and he ad-
mitted last night that it means virtual
government control of the entire coal
industry. He further agreed that.
whether or not actual government
control follows, the districting sys-
tenn is the next step toward it.
Through dividing the country into
districts, in cooperation with Direc-
tor General of Railroads McAdoo, DR..
Garfield hopes to reduce the number
of cars and the railroad mileage
eaten up by the coal industry. This
will in turn produce increased mine
output. as it will give the mines
enough cars to keep them working
full time. Cross hauls will be eIimi-
mated. No district will be permitted
to send out coal until it has sup
piled its own needs, and no district
will be permitted to bring in coal il
it can supply itself.
~ ships Need Coal
"Only seventy-one ships remain in
the harbor of New York." Dr. Gar
field said, "and all of them either
have their coal aboard, or have it
lying alongside ready for bunker
ing"
A report issued by Secretary Nc
Adoo last night dealt largely with
the coal situation. After reviewing
severe weather conditions that have
impeded traffic all over the terri
tory east of the Mississippi, it said
Movement of freight at Chicago

day; 1897 cars of coal arrived at

cent better than normal: 341,5e0 cars

"St. Louis lines report interfer-
ence with freight traffic on account
of troop movement. Coal supplies
in Ohio and Indiana both for fuel
and commercial purposes low, but
prospects for improvement good.

ginia and West Virginia both to

PUTS CRITICS
ON SAME PAR
AS TRAITORS
Billy Sunday Flays Those
Knocking Government
on War Policies.
Ry Arthur JOYCE.

The fellow who is continually
knocking the government because oI
its war policies is about on the same
par as the nut who shouts 'hurrah for
The Kaiser"
That's Billy Sundays attitude about
knocking He told 10000 persons IN
the Tabernacle last night that when
The United States entered the war he
made a VOW that he'd stand back OF
the government to the last ditch, and
with every ounce of my strength
He declared he's kept his word and
that he'd never knocked, and by
Gods help I never will"
Says Don't KNOCK.
The evangelist declared this isn't a
time to knock or be blue about the
war outcome"
Don't sit back and pine and knock
and get blue over the outcome" said
Billy. There's nothing to 1t but
victory for America and the allies.
Wen put it over in great shape. But
for Gods sake, cut out the knocking
and finding fault. This is a time for
everybody to do his bit and lay on
the fault-fnding and criticism"
The evangelist was loudly cheered,
particularly by the delegation of sew
aral hundred soldiers and a batch of
sailors who sat in special reserva-
lions. Billy had a good word to say
for the soldiers, as usual He invited
them to take anything in the Taber-
nacIe they want and told them they'd
fnd a bed in the building anytime
they had in mind to stay in town
overnight. And Billy declared IF We
run short of cots or coverings well
make a raid on some of the swell
homes in Washington and replenish
our supplies"
Billy had gone down to the United
states Treasury during the day on
an inspection tour. He told about II
last night. One of the officials put
about S1aO,OOOOOO in banknotes in his
hands and the evangelist said he
Dearly "keeled over when he learn
; 4 how much money he had ''in a
lch.'
That's one of the greatest buildings
the world today" commented the
evangelist. "An of the allied coun-
