AUSTRIA SEES DARK FUTURE
EVEN SHOULD TEUTONS WIN
Burdened With Debt, Her Industries Ruined.
Only Misery Ahead Unless America Will
Extend Financial Assistance. IT,.

The. feeling in Austria is one of de-
spair. despite the claims Germany is
making as to what the offensive will
accomplish, according to an official
dispatch from France. The situation in
the dual monarchy, according to the
dispatch. presents many perplexities
for the government.
'In spite of all the sensation the
Germans are making in Austria
about their offensive" says the dis
patch, they are preserving a definite
appreciation of the painful situation
with which the monarchy is struggling.
The full difficulties are inextricable.
Heavy clouds are gathering in Bohe-
mia and among the Jugo-Slavs, and
even the decisive and rapid victory
promised by the Germans would not
bring much relief to the present per-
plexities of fAustria-Hungary.
How the Future Looks.

Scene Of the Fighting.

The village of Seicheprey, where the
German attack occurred Saturday is
northwest OF Toul and about seven miles
east of the forest of Apremont, where
the Americans repulsed masses of German
storm troops recently. The fact that
American troops have been on the sector
north Of Toul has been known, but the
fighting at Seicheprey. together with the
report Of an engagement, north of st.
Mihiel, shows that upward of twenty
miles Of the line in that sector is under
American control
Secheprey lies among rolling hills over
looking winding valley which runs off
to the northeast. The probable objective

WHAT ARE THE JUGo-sLAvs?

The word Jugo- Slav is the Serbian for South Slav and before the war the South Slavs numbered about twelve million people, occupying the independent states of Serbia and Montenegro and the following provinces of Austria Hungary: Bosnia and Herzego- vina, annexed as recently 1908; Damatia which became Austrian after the Napoeonic wars; Croatia Banat of Temesvar, Batchka and Baranya in South Hungary These provinces, for political reasons chiefly were under variety of administrations.
 "The Turkish tide which in the Middle Ages swept the Balkans and destroyed the old Serbian en- pire swept later Hungary. and was only rested at the gates of Vienna. Then the tide gradu- ally ebbed and province after province became liber ated The Jugo-Slav provinces, freed from Turks fell under the power of Austria all except Serbia Montenegro, and it the desire of Austria for Serbia which stood on the high road of Eastern pansion,' that precipitated the European war.
 The importance of the Jugo- Slavs lies chiefly in the fact that they are. were before the war; a larger racial unit than either German Ausrians Hun garians, Austrian Poles CZecho- Slovaks. Their political understanding with Poles and Czecho- Slo- walks is fraught with great potenalites, since these three races without counting the JugoSavs of Ser bia, form about thirds the Austro- Hungarian population.
 The significance of the understanding with Italy lies in the fact that the i feeling between Italy and the Jugo-Slavs at the beginning of the war was acute. Italy claimed and by secret treaty promised. not only Austrian territory occupied by Italians, but also territory occupied by Jugo-Slavs
 Italy has now moderated her attitude with some- thing of the Mazzini vision.-London Daily Mail

Smith the democratic nominee tor governor because both of them are residents of that state One accepting federal office in Wash ngton does not necessarily abandon his interest in tbe politics of his own state

The Waste of Paper

The War Industries Board has given seven rea- why paper should not be wasted They are:
 CD The governments requirements for all kinds of paper are increasing rapidly and must be supplied
 @ Paper making requires a large amount of fuel which is essential for purposes. A pound of paper wasted represents from to three pounds of coal wasted
 (S) Paper contains valuable chemicals necessary for war purposes. Economy in the use of paper will release large quantity of these materials for making ammunition poisonous gas.
 (4 Paper making requires labor and capital both of which needed in service
 (5) Paper making requires transportation space. Economy in the use of paper will release thousands of freight for purposes.
 3 (6) Greater care in the purchase and of paper will save money. Your savings will help finance the war.
 CD Strictest economy in the use of paper will prevent shortage.
 Any one of the last six is sufficent all six of them only emphasize the need of conservation of paper The fuel the chemicals the labor and capital the transportation and the money spent on paper to be wasted all needed in war service But we think the first might have been omit ted to advantage It only directs attention to the governments waste of paper in the past, and now, greater and more sinful than ever Of course the governments legitimate needs of paper have been creased and must be supplied but the paper consumed to meet its legitimate needs is but small in volume compared with the vast tonnage wasted in the mania for publicity and propaganda So wild has this become that the object is defeated People have been driven by despair to the habit of throwing away without looking at the enclosure package that seems to have emanated from official and semiofficial sources impossibly burdensome has the task of inspecting it become.
 Formerly, though but a small part of it was ever made use of it was granted the courtesy of atten- tion and now and then something worth while was found Now people will go through such a moun- tain of chaff in the hope they may be rewarded by the discovery of grain of wheat
