GERMAN-AUSTR|ANS
 WANT INDEPENDENCE
Want State Recognized by World and Place in the
 Society of Nations
By Assocfated Press

Basic, January 2.--The Vienna Frem- denblatt publishes a note transmitted verbally to the diplomatic corps in Vienna by the German Austrian government ex-. pressing hope that the existence and lib- erty of the independent state of German Austria will be recognized by the civil ized world and place assured it in the society of nations. The note defines German-Austria as internal Austria with German Stryria, German Tyrol, Ger man Carinthina and the German districts of northern Bohemia. The new repub- lie, it Is added, wishes to enter into relations with all civilized nations as soon as possible
 If Czecho- Slovakia were to include the above named regions it would be no last ing advantage to 1t, the note said; 1t would be reconstituting ancient Austria with an amalgam of peoples.
 The note demands a plebescite for towns almost exclusively German, such Villach, Bozen and Bruneck. It asserts that the young republic must form part either of the Danube confederation by a union with other new born states or be attached to Germany, and then gives reasons against the former course, de- claring that an attachment with Ger many is the only possible course.
 The Characterization government says 1t hopes that the United States and the entente will support it's policy and that a place will be given 1t ins the peace conference.

Investigation of Hurley
 Announcement to Be Made

Washington, January 2-The war trade board officials said today that Chairman Vance Mccormick, now on his' way to Europe, would investigate the announce ment of Chairman Hurley of the ship ping board, i'll Paris, of plan to ship between 5O0,0o0 and 6O0,0O0 tons of potash from Alsace to America Senator Hitch- cock of Nebraska, had submitted pro- tests from Nebraska potash producers, who claim that the proposed plan con flicts with the war trade boards order prohibiting the importation of potash from Germany until peace has been for mally declared
 Senator Hitchcock later read the pro. test in the Senate 1t said the proposed shipments from Alsace would paralyze the Nebraska potash industry, and urged that importations be shut of until some policy relative to potash production could be worked out.
 The Nebraska senator charged that there seems ito be commission of fer tilizer companies whereby they are re- fusing to buy potash produced under the stimulation of government propaganda" :"

Wants Proof of Guilt

Munich. January 2.-(Havas)-In the course of a question raised in the pro- vincial council regarding anti-revolution- ary agitation Kurt Eisner, Bavarian pre- mier, referring to attempts to influence opinion in favor of Crown Prince Rup- precht, said it would be grievous mis- take to compel him to publish the proofs of the guilt of the dynasty. because they would be of such a, nature as to cause an outbreak of wrath among the people and imperil the lives of the members of the dynasty.
 The premier. announced the establish ment of national court of justice, com posed of 12 members, which would in- vestigate anti-revolutionary plots.

DESPERAT|ON|N
 PETROGRAD GROWS POpulace of Petrograd on Verge of Outbreak, Says
 Returned Traveller
By Associated Press

London. January 2.-(British Wireless Service. e.)-Dissatisfaction and desperation in Petrograd. caused by the almost com plete disappearance of the necessaries Of life and the system of government in effect under bolshevik rule, are so vide spread that the populace is on the verge of an outbreak. according to a Danish business man, who has returned from Russia.
 Conditions in Petrograd are exceed ingly depressing" he says
 Except for the red guard and it's agents, the whole population is in direct complete starvation. The prices of ordi- nary articles of food have risen enor- mously and it is difficult to buy any thing even at these prices.
 "All the big establishments and the factories have been nationalized and are The banks have been nationalized and money circulation has therefore stopped. A recent decree prohibits the carrying of parcels in the streets without special permission from the red guards agents, and consequently one is held up when one tries to go out shopping. No fuel is to be had.
 "The present system of government is creating general stagnation and the mis- cry in which the majority of the populace is living has fostered dissatisfaction and desperation, which are gradually spread ing and which need only a spark to break out into flames. On all sides it is hoped that the entente will be able to find means to supply Petrograd and save the population from starvation During the day it is comparatively quiet in the streets, but after dark no one who does not belong to the ranks of the red army dares to go out

 "The programme for Poland as we see it is:s First, the division of land. to be paid for at prewar values; second. the taking over of the mines by the govern ment for an equitable consideration; third, state ownership of public utilities. such as electric plants. waterworks rail- roads, slaughter houses. locomotive works and bakeries.
 "The programme does not provide for state control of all industries. as has been said, for state work IS less efficient than private initiative. though the rail- ways in Austria. while costing the gov ernment more to operate. were more efficient than under private operation. "Polands difficulties, come partly from the fact that we have been under three different rules, Austrian. German and Russian, We have three kinds of money in circulation and have suffered a

Presidents Trip Is
 IndOrsed by Taft

Omaha, Neb., January 2-Former Pres ident William H. Taft, speaking before the Omaha club tonight. defined his conception of a league of nations and it's method of formation. He indorsed President Wilson's visit to Europe and criticized those who opposed the forma- tion of a league.
 What I particularly object to is the flouting of the idea of a league of ma tions by those who pick one defect and who cast aside the whole plan,' he said.
 MT. Taft summarized his idea of a league of nations in four points:
 "A court or tribunal to decide on justifable issues.
 "A commission of cancellation to con- tinue the work of making peace until the world became settled in the league of nations.
 "A combined police force, the existence of which would be sufficient to cause obedience to the tribunals and the com missions decisions.
 "A congress of nations to codfy inter national law and make from time to time such notifications as new condi- tions would make necessary"
