London, May l5.-A graphic pic
ture of the terrible economic distress
prevailing in Bosnia and erzegovina
two Austrian states OF Slavonian
peoples, is published by the news
paper Glaslobodo of Agram, Aus
tria.
Entire districts OF eastern Bos-
MIA, it says, and the whole of the
eastern part of Herzegovina are to-
day depopulated and devastated re-
gions which look as ii terrible
typhoon had visited them with its
devilish destruction.
"A great number OF inhabitants
were deported and have since died
in the internment camps. Those
who remained were massacred by
Austrian soldiers. In other districts
the population is dying Of starva-
ton.
"As result of such economic
misery the deaths exceeded the
births by 5000 in 1915 and by 23,-
III in 1916. All the livestock has
been destroyed and consumed by
the army. In consequence it is i'm
possible to till the ground, which
formerly was done exclusively with
oxen"

PRUSSIAN AUTOCRACY RE

London, May l5.-The Jugo-Slav
movement and its growing political
activity has perturbed the bureau
Gratis in Austria, according to in
formation received in Serbian quar-
ters. The Austrian autocrats, as a
result. are doing everything to SOW
discord in the ranks of the Jugo-
Slavs.
For this purpose new political
group has been formed in Bosnia
under the leadership of Doctor Pi-
lar. an exponent of Austrian imper-
ialism. The aims of this political
group are the formation of a Croa-
tian state within the borders of the
Austrian empire, an idea quite ire
conciliable with the ideals of the
Coration, Slovenian and Serbian
peoples, whose only desire to be
united in a free and independent
Tugo- Slav state.

London. Nav l5.-At the meeting
of Emperor William and Emperor
Charles. the Daily Chronicle says
apparently a step was taken toward
formally defining and recognizing
the subservient relations of the dual
monarchy toward the German en-
pire.
An independent Austria-Ilun-
gary has BEEN the newspaper adds,
impossible. chiefly because not one
of its constituent nationalities wants
it. The Austrian and Magyr domi-
nation minorities ruling over sue
cessive majoriiies do not want an
Independent monarchy, but a mon
archy dependent on Germany, which
can help them maintain their un-
natural position.
"On the other hand. the Czchs-
Slovaks and the Jugo-Slavs do not
want a dual monarchy in any form,
independent or otherwise. They
want independent Czech-Slovak and
Jugo-Slav states. Between these two
chools any attempt by Emperor
Charles to reassert the independ-
ence of the Hapsburgs Is doomed to
fail helplessly.r

Emperor William telegraphed to

follows:

London, May l5.-The Austrian
and German emperorS at their meet
ing at German great headquarters.
German newspapers say, according
to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Copenhagen, selected mon
archs for Luthanian, Courland,
Esthonia and Poland.
London, May 15.-The recent
meeting of Emperor William Of
Germany and Emperor Charles Of
Austria is OF absorbing interest to
the British public.
There are two viewpoints which
appear in the comment on the meet
ing. one as TO the immediate result
OF the conference, and the other as
10 its future results; but both are
OF paramount importance.
The first is the effect which the
meeting is likely to have on mill
tary events, whether another great
blow at Italy may be expected to
coincide with the daily expected re-
newal of the onslaught at the Anglo
Saxon front. Also, whether Aus
tria can be persuaded to send troops
to the western front to strengthen
exhausted German divisions.
The more distant outcome of the
meeting and its cementing of a po-
litical and economic defensive alli-
ance OF the central powers is a
realization that eventually must be
faced in the naturalization OF the
"Mittel Europa" policy and it is
argued that if this is accomplished
the natural reply of the entente ma
tions would be the placing in oper-
alton of the resolutions calling for
economic pressure against Germany,
known as the Paris resolution. be
cause, it is contended, that only by
strong economic pressure could the
entente deal with the greatest unit
of power ever known i'll the worlds
history.
Comments from Austrian newspa-
pers reaching London tonight tend
TO confirm the opinion that the alli-
ance of the central powers had been
consolidated in an l-embracing
manner. Vienna newspapers are
unanimous in the view that a multi
tude of enemies necessitates self
preservation and demands that Ger
many and Austria-Hungary should
give their defensive alliance a gen
eral character. They also emprasize
that neither empire will give up its
political, military or economic per
sonality.
The Fremdenblatt SAYS that the
two powers are united for common
defense. not only as formerly against
Russia but also against any other
powers which should attack either
ally.
