in check as regards discussion of in- ternal affairs in that country. The only inkling Of the still intense sdt- uation is contained in Leipsic news paper, which announces the 1mpend- ing resignation of Vice Admiral Won Mueller, chief of Emperor Williams naval cabinet, who is declared to be out of harmony with the Pan-Ger- mans because of his desire for a peace by understanding with Great Britain.
 Meanwhile Admiral Won Tirpitz, father of Germany's submarine cam paign, one of the leaders of the Pan Germans and Great BritailSs arch enemy, continues t2 tour the country delivering bombastic speeches and holding out to the people the chimera of ultimate success for German arms A basic point in his arguments. how ever, seems to be that in order to gain this success it is needful that the whole of the economic power of the nation be used.
 The status of the situation as re- gards Russia and the Brest Litovsli peace conference remains unchanged Trotzky the Bolshivili foreign minis ter, who is now in Petrograd, is said to be preparing another note to the entente powers on the subject of peace. = s
 On the fighting fronts comparative calm prevails except for artillery duels and small patrol engagements.
 That all has not gone as planned with the Austrian armies in Italy is indicated by the fact that Genera Szetozar Boroevic has been chosen b! 1 the Austrian high command to sue | ceed the Archduke Eugene as general issimo on the entire Italian front Boroevic is to take precedence ever over Field Marshal Conrad Won Hoet zendorf, who had been expected b! the Austrian war office to pierce thu Italian frint with his reinforced arm, and gain the Venetian plain befor' the heavy snowfalls set in. but who's plans failed owing to the stiffenin, of the Italian line.

While the bitter internal political situation in Austria Hungary seems to have abated somewhat in intensi- ty, the latest indications are that be- meath the surface the fire of discon- tent is merely smoldering and that at no distant date it again may break out in a veritable confiagration.
 The politicians apparently with op- timistic utterances have quieted sit r"ri that admittedly is fraught with r-r1Af possibilities so far a> the dual r-%i,trchy is concerned, but the known war wearines5 of the populace and the fGGd shortage are likely soon again to bring the people into sharp discord with the authorities.
 The general strike which it is assert ed took more than a million of men and women from their worll-a large proportion of them engaged in war industries-virtually ended Monday morning, but at last accounts the peo- Dle still were clamoring for food and for a cessation of hostilities.
 At the moment of the outburst of public discomfort, and throughout the days when the discord was strongest the government of the dual monarchy showed it was keenly alive to the nec- essitv of calming the unrest. Imme- diately tEe cry of "peace" arouse there came from the halls of tho govern men the answer We are ready for peace without annexations or indem- mites" and it was added that this feeling was shared into the utmost by the emperor king.
 The loquacious Austrian press her aided broadcast the alleged peace de. sires of the government and king and It's utterances likely had much tt do with the subsistence of the populal clamor. With the return of the peo pie to work, however, the newspapers apparently felt the stern hand of tn, censor, for nothing concerning the sit uation in Austria or Hungary ha. since been permitted to creep through
