SITUATION IN AUSTRIA
BECOMING UNBEATABLE
In Many Communities People Have
Had no Potatoes for Four Months
No Fats or Flour.

l. Amsterdam, June 20. y Matters in
Austria are rapidly approaching the
breaking point. The Vienna Arbeiter
Zeitung says that representatives of
the government owned mines, printing
works, mint; telegraph and posts Sc
cured an audience with the premier,
DR.. Won Seydler, and the finance min
lister, DR.. Won Wemmer.
Deputy Gloeckel, acting as sp0kes-
man for the men. said that the low
ering of the workers efficiency was
attributal not to i'll will, but entirely
to underfeeding, and that the state
employees needed an increase in wages
of so per cent in order to live at all.
DR.. Won Wemmer replied that the
utmost limit of expense already had
been reached and that the state could
not possibly bear heavier burden.
All he could promise was further dis
cussion' next fall.
The Arbeiter Zeitung, in a heavily
censored article. speaks of dire dis
tress outside of Vienna and in places
where war industries have been estab-
lished. In many communities, 1t says,
the people have had no potatoes for
four months and that no fats or flour
have been distributed. Children are
going to school hungry. In one place
near Vienna bread supplies sufficient
for two days are supposed to last for
a whole week. The newspaper COM
plains of the paucity of supplies from
Ukraine The rest of the article was
censored.

Peyton March, chief of staff left the war department

The British and French are

Hindenburg is using fully
1000, 900 men on this front
Apparently he is trying to
separate the British from the
French, roll the British up to
the sea and throw his certer

West of st. Quentin, some
twelve miles above the point Of
Franco British junction, the
British defensive system has
been broken into, Haig admits.
The main British line was at
last accounts still intact, how
ever. The retirement proceeds
in orderly fashion. In the
north, between Arras and
Mory, the British line is hold

Berlin claims $4,000 prison

Since the nearest point In
German line to Paris is sixty
two miles away, this is either
a colossal hoax, an error, or it
represents the employment by
the Germans Of a new weapon
too miraculous even to be
IMAGINED. Experts incline to
the belief that the Paris report
refers to an aerial lombard
ment, particularly inasmuch as
the French war office did an.

The depth of the German ad-
vance between Arras and La

from four to six miles. The

Peronne and Bapaume are

The Germans have pushed to
