AUSTRIA LOSES BOTH WAYS.

Even the duIlest witted Austro-
Hungarian statesman must now real
ize that unless peace comes soon, who
ever wins in this war, the old Dual
Empire must lose. After two or
three more years of fighting, an Al
lied victory could not possibly leave
conditions in Austria Hungary as
they were before the war The ma
tionality movement has gained such
momentum in the last four years that
it is even now doubtful whether the
rule of the Germans and Magyars
can be maintained except through
the Intervention of foreign Powers;
and no foreign Power will intervene
to save them if the Allies win. Eth
er the empire will fall to pieces, or a
scheme of federalism will have to
be adopted under which the empire
will practically become Slavic. If,
on the other hand, Germany should
win, the political system of the Dual
Empire might remain formally in
tact But the German and Magyar
elements would have to recognize the
fact that all their privileges were
derived from Berlin. At any time
the withdrawal of Prussian support
would mean their downfall Even
tually Austfia-Hungary would be an
nexed to the German Empire, not as
group of free states with a voice IL
the imperial policy, but as a subject
colony. Just as in the recent con-
ference of the Kaiser, there would
be complete accord on all the fun
damental political, economic and mil
itary questions affecting the present
and future relations of the two mon
archies'

of the famous Arditi, or Italian storm
troops, the other day, when the Pre-
mier singled out in the ranks a small

stopped and asked who this boy SOL

lated this story:
During the retreat last October, the
twenty-first battalion of Arditi passed
westward through the village of Os-

was a. stirring event for the village,
to see the soldiers go by, including

not intend to be privileged little

POWDER PLANT
ACCIDENTS few
IN PAST YEAR

The friends of the Kaiser in this
country will get some comfort out of
the accident at the explosives plant at
Oakdale, Penna., where some so or
more people lost their lives. There
is at least the consolation that if any
dirty skunk of spy did it, he is
probably where he. won't do it again.
The handling of explosives has al
ways been attended with needless ac-
cidents even in time of peace. Ger
tain powder factories have had the
habit of blowing up regularly. Such
materials can be handled with safety,
provided care is shown. But reck-
less or ignorant workers refuse to
take precautions. The most deadly
materials are carted around in high
" congested streets, and thrown
around at railroad stations as if they
were potatoes.
The matter is vital to our war
work, because so much depends on
, the ability to turn out a great supply
of these deadly materials. The more
Trinotrotoluol we can send over to
| blast the Huns out of their burrows
the fewer of our boys we shall have
to sacrifice. And to get big sup
ply of these materials, we must be
able to produce them with fair
condition of safety and few accidents
The wages paid in this trade are
high, and people who are willing tc
take the risk find themselves able tc
make substantial savings. Consid.
ering the enormous amount of ex-
plosives that have been turned out
the past year, the proportion of acct.
dent is small. The spies among III
will try to exaggerate it.
The man who handles high explos
ives at a time like this is doing good
patriotic work. These forces il
these factories should be carefully
picked to exclude those who cam
speak English and those of doubtful
loyalty. They should be made II
