COLLAPSE
VERY UNCERTAIN
Washington Warns Country Not

SCENE OF MISERY AND WANT

Said To BE In Wretched Plight;
April And May Are Worst
Months.

Washington.-Germ iron DOM
nation. plus political reorganization
within Austria, will stem for time
the growing politico-economic unrest
there, government authorities believe.
They warned that while the internal
problems of Germany and Austria as
reflected by the best available official
reports is grave there is yet no reason
to feel that collapse is at hand. For
that reason they counseled against
building false hopes within this coun-
try that sheer physical and economic
exhaustion will halt the Teuton just
now.
Government authorities, however,
are waiting eagerly for the long-de-
layed but still-expected statement of
Germany in response to Premier
Lloyd George and President Wilson.
This, they think, will be. the most ac-
curate barometer thus far as as to the
Teuton internal situation.
April and May will be the worst
months the Central Empires have
faced" said a government official,
land if the people Of the empires
stand for what they will have to stand
for, then the war ought to go on to a
knockout"
Word pictures of the Central EN-
pires reaching this government
through official channels etch a scene
Of misery and want.
From Dutchman just back from
Germany the government has this
statement:
"The Germany which l saw was a
perfect picture of misery which could
only arouse feelings of compassion"
To this is appended a semi-official
comment, thus:
Nearly an the concrete statements
made in the (Dutchman's) article are
amply supported by German evidence,
and undoubtedly present conditions
and future prospects are extremely
gloomy. There prevails in Germany
mood of depression which not even
the recent military successes in Italy
are able to dispel."

World War in Brief

With the reported amelioration in the.
political unrest in Austria-Hungary and
continuation of silence as regards
the internal situation in Germany, the
notable feaHre in the world war is
the apparent resumption. and on a
somewhat larger scale, of the military
operations on the western front in
France and Belgium. Although for
the moment these operations do not
transcend in Importance the usual
small operations by raiding and recon
noitering parties, reading between the
lines it is not difficult to see that the
maneuvers now in progress on various
sectors are in the nature of trying-out
processes of marked character
From the North Sea to the Swiss
frontier the lessening in the rigors OF
winter has permitted the belligerents
again to send forth their men in en-
terprises which seemingly forecast the
intention shortly to, resume fighting
activity more extensively. For weeks
the big guns along the entire battle
front have been roaring in intensive
duels on numerous sectors, but the
infantry has lain idle, owing to the
deep SHOWS and later to the morasses
which formed as result of the thaw
On the front in Italy the change in
the high command evidently has not
resulted as yet in any betterment of
the strategic positions of the Austro-
German armies. From the Asiago
plateau eastward to the Piaye river
and thence southwark, to the Adriat;c
Sea the Italians again have been vic
torious in numerous minor operations
Two British steamers were sunk in
the Mediterranean Sea with the loss
of IT'S lives, according to an announce
ment to the House OF Commons.
The peace negotiations at Erest-
Litovsk have again been postponed
for few days. and Foreign Minister
J Trotzky, of the Bolsheyiki. is prepar-
ing another note to the Allies.
