AUSTRIAN WARNING
Amsterdam, Jan. 29.-''We
demand universal peace and
we demand peace uncOndittOn-
nj - 49, = - II

This was the climax of q speech
delivered in the Austrian house of
representatives by DR.. Adler, the So
cialist leader, who gave Emperor
Charles and Premier Won Seydler's
government an emphatic warning
not to minimize the gravity of the
present situation even II many of the
strikers have resumed work.
Russ Revolt Acceptable.
1.-THE revolution in Russia said
DR.. Adler, was acceptable to the
masses in Austria. We hoped that
peace would come but suddenly this
hope appears to be in vain.
1--WE cannot any longer wait and
watch while a few gentlemen In
Brest-Litovsk are insisting on their
own views and endangering the
peace negotiations, perhaps against
the will of the Austrian negotiators.
Says War Can't Continue.
III our parliament sighted this
it would be intolerabler not only for
the deputies but for the masses. We
cannot tolerate that the deputies
shall remain mute while we learn
from the newspapers that general
strikes the table with his fist, and
rattles his sword, thus endangering
the peace negotiations. All the peo-
pie are alive to the fact that the war
cannot be continued any longer"
ITALIANS ASK TERMS.
Milan, Italy, Jan. 29.-The dec
larations OF Premier Lloyd George
and President Wilson concerning
Italian aspirations have led to a
somewhat laborious political discus
sion in the newspapers. At first the
papers welcomed the declarations as
confirmation of the national aspira-
tions, but it soon appeared that this
Interpretation was slightly far fetch
ed. Then many persons and organ
izations began asking the govern
ment to state the Italian war aims.
The governments silence then led
many newspapers to reprOach It's
leaders.
The criticisms reveal especially
the fact that II Italy has aspirations
felt by the entire people these have
not yet received an explicit state
ment in any government declaration
known to them.
They reveal also how the progress
Of ideas in the course OF the war has
influenced the character of 1taly's
warfare, and that q revision Of war
aims is both possible and in the opin-
ion OF many, desirable. VI
