 The fact that Austria is dynasty and not nation makes peace by inner revo- lution the more feasible theory. The Hohenzollern tradition, and a blind de- votion to Kaiser Wilhelm as it's embodi-
 ment, has thus far held the people Of the German empire together. There is no such love for the House of Haps- burg among the conglomerate races that compose the Austro-Hungarian empire
 Slavs, Czechs and the Magyar minority are asking why the war continues now
 that Austria has achieved it's objects.
 The powerful Polish party has demand ed an Austrian solution of the Polish questionable transfer of Russian Poland to Austria and its union with Gaiic;a as a third party in the Hapsburg realm. This ultimatum is a death sentence upon Premier Seidler. The Emperor is afraid to call Parliament because the premier cannot force it. Italy has surrendered
 some os her territorial aspirations of the early part of the war and has converted the anti-Italian feeling among the Jugc- Slsvs into a pro-Italian attitude The whole Austro-Hungarian empire Is seeth- ing with discomfort. war weariness and hunger.

OFFICERS AND CREW
LEAVE SHIP ASTORIA

Because the captain converted their
ship into a sailing vessel, the eight
officers and crew of the former mortOr-
ship Astoria, which cleared from this
port in February bound for the south,
left the ship and are returning to the
mainland. They left here en- route to
San Francisco on the Oceanic liner
Sierra yesterday afternoon.
There was no trouble between the
captain and the crew, according to the
latter, who said yesterday that they
preferred to return to the States rather
than stay with the ship. The Astoria
is now a sailing vessel, and is at Apia,
which port she reached after sailing
from Honolulu.
According to a member of the crew,
the Astoria, shortly after she left this
port, met with an accident, losing
one of her propeller blades. This is
a reason given the crew by the cap
tain for the conversion of the mo, or
ship into sailing craft, which dis
pleased the crew, causing their leaV-
ing the vessel soon after their arrival
at Apia.

Fiqht To the Death
more encouraging

nEClDEDLY more encouraging was the war
~ news received last night. The British are
holding. in the face of attacks before which all
previous fighting paIes into insigni6cance, and in
places they are coming back. The Withdrawals
reported from Poelkapelle and Langemarck, south
OF the Houthust forest, are not significant except
as showing that Field Marshal Haig is preparing
for possible further loss south of Ypres and does
not intend to have any large outstanding forces
to the northeast in danger of being cut off. Both
positions evacuated are along the Ypres-Staden
railroad and on low ground. The retirement has
probably been toward the higher ground a few
miles to the south.
The Washington military critics point out that
the Germans must continue fighting below Ypres
or leave themselves open to counter attack that
could completely turn the tables and might cut
off great part of their offensive force the many
divisions they have thrown into the Armenteres
salient This now is huge, almost circular, bat
tlefeld with comparatively narrow neck the
Messnes ridge pointing directly at the gap
through which Won Hindenburg is sending his
armies heavy British counter north from La
Bassee or south from Ypres might close the gap
and leave many Germans encrcled.
On the other hand a decisive German success
north from BaeuI or Wytschaete would leave
large part of the British army with a narrow
line of retreat, with chance Of swinging north
away from the Germans because of the miles OF
inundated country from Langemarck to Dunkirks
much of which was flooded by the Begians 20
hold back the Germans in the first battle of Ypres.
The situation appears to be one of fight to the
death The Germans have reached point where
they dare not stop. They have fallen short Of
their detectives in Flanders as they have in France
and at no point on their new front they safe.
The British have been forced back to line that
they must hold or be beaten with possible dis
aster following defeat.
1t is British grit against German frenzy, and
while the Germans must advance to win the Bri-
fish have only to hold their lines to score vic
tory. The odds just now on the British, who
losing many less men and fighting from posi-
tons that give them the advantage. The Ger
man chances depend altogether upon whether
their numbers can last out the terrible slaughter

COLOMBO MARU IS
GIVEN UP AS LOST
Ship Takes Fire and Crew IS
Rescued-Later Search In
dicateS Steamer Sank

AS a result Of her cargo catching
fire while she was on her way to India
from Japan, the Japanese steamer Col,
ombo Maru, of the Nippon Yusen Kai-
sha line, the first vessel to sail on the
new route between Japan, Hawaii, Cal
cutta and New York, has been given
up by officials of the firm as a total
loss, according to the Japan Advertiser
of a recent date. The ship was burned
at sea, when about $50 miles from Goto,
Japan, q short distance :. from, Moi,
which port she had last left enJoute. to
the south. r. a., ...,. -, Ii
The fire which caused the destruction
Of the vessel was probably started in
her cargo, as, it is reported, her cargo
consisted Of a large supply Of safety
matches consigned to the south from
Kobe.
When off Goto, about one hundred
and fifty miles, fire was seen rising
to the deck, and Immediately wireless
messages were flashed to Moi for as
sistance, which was soon after des-
patched and which arrived much too
late, as the vessel was rapidly sinking
and the flames spreading out Of control
of the firemen.
According to the report, the Seifuku
Maru, of another line, was close by
when the distress signals were flashed
and was in the nick of time in ar,
irving on the scene. She succeeded in
landing the tired crew of the Colombo
in safety at Nagasaki, The crew mum,
bered sixty-five.
Captain Masuzo Doki, commander of
the Colombo, on his return to Moi, re
ported to the Nippon Offices there that
his ship was loss, as he saw the
flames close to the surface Of the wa
ter, gradually eating away the decks of
the ship, causing her to sink slowly.
A ship was sent out to locate the
spot where the Colombo Maru was last
seen, but did not succeed in finding
any trace of the vessel for she was
lost out Of sight. The vessel was OF

tARGtR CONCRETE
VESSELS Favored
Pioneer Builder OF Type Claims
Five Thousand Tons Would
Give Better Results

The government 3 limitation Of con.
crete vessels to those Of 3400 tons is
q mistake, according to w Leslie
Comyn, president Of the San, francisco
Shipbuilding Company, builders Of the
Faith, the FIRST concrete ship to be
for use by the government,
who claims that concrete vessels Of
5000 tons or more are more effective
both from angles Of cost Of construc-
ton and Of operation.
Because the officials did not believe
that vessels Of more than 3400 tons
could float, contracts given to the vari-
Gus concrete shipbuilders have been
limited 70 that number of tons, and no
more. There are two ships being built
Under government contract, in San
Francisco, both Of which are 34OO tons,
the government having refused to of.
fer contracts for ships of larger size,
for fear that II would be at heavy
loss should the vessels fail in their,
launching. !
In order to be able to obtain con.
tracts from the government for ships
of greater tonnage, the San Francisco
Shipbuilding Company would have to
place guarantee on all the vessels
turned ont, or sign an agreement with
the government whereby should any Of
the large vessels prove failures, the
government would be favored with
about one.half Of the loss. To the lat
ter, Comyn does not agree, maintaining
that the ability OF successfully launch
ing a vessel of greater tonnage rests
in a patent controlled by his company,
whereby a diagonal steel reinforcement
with a threeineh mesh is employed as a
foundation for the concrete.
The 3400-ton ships will continue to be
built until a further agreement between
the two parties, so that the government
viii not be at such loss in case any
Of the large ships prove failures.
