Figures Showing Trouble
Austria Has on Food

WASHINGTON, May 4.-PreSS dis
patches from Amsterdam saying that
Emperor Charles was about to prorogue
the Austrian parliament, were read with
deep interest today by officials here,
who had expected some such drastic
action since the news leaked out from
Vienna of the stormy session of the
reichrath and of the open defiance to
the government by the elements in OPP
position.
The debates connected with the Brest-
Litovsk peace treaty were particularly
acrimonious and it appeared that the
government practically had lost its ma
jority when the Polish delegates, des-
perately resisting the secession of part
of their provinces to Ukraine, Joined
with the Czechs and Bohemians, who
had long persistently opposed the gov
eminent because of the refusal to grant
them national unity.
The difficulties in the way Of secur-
ing sufficient food for the population,
the only cause given in the Amsterdam
dispatch for the suspension of the reich
rath, have created a critical situation.
Throughout Austria-Hungary, according
to dispatches received here. In the early
spring, General Hoeffen, the Austrian
food controller. declared that 500, 600, 900
pounds of foodstuffs would have to be

The president of the lower house OF

that the conditions prevailing in the

Slav state.
However, discussion of this problem
is impossible for the present" he said
because il concerns not only Austria
but also Hungary and Bosnia. But one
thing is certain. If such a state were
created, it could be only under the
scepter of his majesty, as a component

In filming the exterior scenes for A Modern Musketeer, the 6-part Art craft picture shown at the Davis thea Ire today, Douglas Fairbanks and his company spent two weeks in tho Grand Canyon in Arizona, and then went to the Canyon du Chelley, ninety miles by pack mule from Gallup. N. M.
 Here the Fairbanks organization lived in tents. Their meals were pre- pared by an old cowboy cook who served the largest beans in captivity twice a day. The cook improvised pal ctable names for his decoctions, and the menu included such tempting mcr- seis as wild cat stew. mountain lion roast and untamed mule steak.
 Fairbanks did not overlook any of the high cliffs in staging his thrillers, and his admirers will see him in new ard sensational stunts. Marjorie Daw makes her first appearance playing opposite Fairbanks. The cast includes Frank Campeau and Fully Marshall.
 The other feature is Dorothy Dalton who will be seen in Love Letters. her latest production made under the su- pervision of Thomas H. Ince. This was written by Shannon Fife, and is a gripping story of the heart breaking struggle of a woman to retain her husbands affection against over whelming odds. The cast, including William Conklin and Thurston Hall is exceptionally we'll chosen. The Ami mated Weekly completes the show.
