NIL Indications point To the seething Of
a power below the surIpce That bids
fair ere long to make Itself known,
Austria In the first to yield TO this
Influence, and the change was the
easier accomplished there because a
great part OF tho subjects OF Emperor
Kari are far from being In sympathy
with Berlin, and rather chafo under
the subordinate position which they
have been forced 10 endure. More
recently the craving In Germany for
popular government, FASTENED and
aggravated by the hardships which n
kaiser made war has forced upon
them. has grown strong enough 20
override the fear OF loyalty and the
repression OF the censor Berlin. and
To less extent, many other impor-
tant points In tho empire, has been
kept IN order only by tho most
rigorous measures enforced by armed
guards, and even IN some places the
soldiers have refused TO fire upon the

much like a repetition Of the sensa =
