w THAT will be the fate Of
M German Austria? The
question is not settled by

W question is not settled by
the provision Of the peace
treaty which compels Germany to
recognize the independence of the
German Austria Republic. For in
this case the world is confronted by
unique situation. Here is a people
which, to all indications, does not
want to be Independent. The other
day DR.. Karl Seitz, president Of
German Austria, said:
II wish to say in the most solemn
manner that Austria Is doomed to die
if she is not permitted to join Ger
many. We cannot live alone. We have
great city with a small territory
composed of mountains and plains. If
the Allies give our German provinces
to the Czecho-Slovaks and Jugo-Slavs
without making the new owners take
and war debts, it will mean our bank
ruptcy. If we 60 bankrupt it will
mean worse social troubles than those
of Russia, with a menace to the peace
of Europe"
The statement Of the Austrian
president touches upon the three
questions which German-Austrian
assert mean life and death for them.
They are: 1, Union with Germany
vs.. independence; 2, the fixing of
boundaries and the fate of German
minorities incorporated in Czecho-
Slovakia, Italy and Jugo-Slavia; 3,
the allotment of the Austrian ma
tional debt.

Gross Lots to the Heart

~ NE Of the short cuts to the
4 understanding Of contem-
~ porary German history is
the study Of the advertis-
ing pages Of Berlin newspapers.
For instance, here is a page, picked
al random, from the "Vossische
Zeitung" of April 8.
/. Four advertisements an
nouncing the yearly stockholders
meetings of as mary industrial
concerns.
2. Advertisement of a furni-
ture moving firm.
3. Ditto of second hand type

So far it Is normal, but the fol-
lowing shows a touch of the times ::
s. Announcement Of meeting
to be held by "Society to Combat
Vagrancy in Brandenburg." 1t
would seem that this organiza-
ton, maintained by class-con-
scious landowners, is Of pre-revo-
lutionary origin; however, it may
be assumed that, what with de-
mobilization and Spartacism and
similar plaques, the society has a
rather lively time just now.
Still all of these ads. might as

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-06-01

The collapse of the Austro- Hun
garian empire was brought about
politically to the setting up Of in
dependent governments in Bohemia
at Prague, in the Slovene territory
at Laibach, in Croatia at Agram
(Zagreb) and in Hungary at Buda-
pest, events following upon each
other within a few days in last
October. AS Galicia was seized by
the Poles and Ukrainians, Bukovina
by the Rumanians, and Trieste, the
Trentino, Istria and Dalmatia by the
Italians, all that remained from the
formar dual monarchy were the

would emerge, eventually, stronger
than she had been before. The con-
sideration seems to have prevailed
at the peace conference and found
expression in the treaty clause re-
curing Germany to recognize Ger
man Austria's independence.
Moreover, the hard economic and
financial terms imposed upon Ger
many are expected to act as a cooler
to the desire Of the Austrian people
to throw in their lot with Germany
And it is noteworthy that the lead
ing financiers of Vienna have been
from the beginning averse to the
union. They advocate a scheme
known as the Danubian Confedera-
ton, by which the states that for
merly composed the Austro- Hun
garian monarchy, namely, German
Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, Hungary,
and, with certain qualifications,
Jugo -Slava, would be rejoined on
a loose federal basis, retaining their
political independence, but forming
a single economic and customs unit.
This plan has adherents among the
Catholic Clericals of German Aus
tria, as we'll as among the Bohemian
aristocracy and those Catholic Jugo-
Slavs who are none too enthusiastic
for a union with orthodox Serbia
under the Karageorgevitch dynasty.
Only a Tool
This federal scheme enjoys the
support of some influential French
newspapers. On the other hand, it
is violently opposed by the Italian
press on the ground that the Danu-
bian Confederation would be moth
ing but tool Of French imperialism
and would strengthen Slav influence.
In his statement referred to above
President Seitz said that the scheme
was impossible" and continued:

This little piece Of patriotic lit
erature would probably go far to
convince a German Rip Van Wrinkle,
awakening from a slumber of, say,
fifty-fve months, that not all is as
it used to be in the Fatherland.
The following advertisement, sur
rounded by a heavy black border,
tells it's story none the less
eloquently:
sSDeclaration of Protest
"Forty-two cabarets and similar es
adjustments have been ordered to close
up at once by the Bureau for CONNER
cial Licenses.
"Many thousand artists, musicians,
walters, chefs, clerks, cloak room at
tendants and other employees are thus
to be deprived Of their livelihood and
put out on the street.
"Why? No complaint for transgress-
ing the food ordinances has been filed
against any proprietor. Even less has
evidence been brought in support of
charges Of this kind. The measure Ia
virtually based on war decree. is-
sued essentially to protect the provi-
sioning of the army. However, at pres
ent the state of war exists onlv nomi
nally and the army not at ALL"
1t Is asserted that the new ordi-
nance was issued without even Civ
ing the parties concerned chance
to state their case. The measure is
branded typical instance Of abus-
ing bureaucratic power, altogether
in line with the practices of the old
regime. Moreover, the closing of
the establishments would hardly i'm
prove the general food situation, as
the savings effected would increase
the rations of every inhabitant of
Berlin by about half an ounce of
meat and one potato in a whole
year. On the other hand, the gov
eminent would be deprived Of
millions Of marks in different taxes,
such as income and amusement
taxes, wine excuses, license fees
and so on. The city of Berlin,
again, would have to spend addi-
tional millions for aid to those
thrown out of employment. The
appeal concludes:
1--WE enter a vigorous protest against
such despotism and demand the can
ceiling of decree issued to benefit no
one and to damage many"

Italy not only the Trentino, but also
that part Of the German Tyrol lying
south of the Bremen. This settle
ment, which would include a consid-
cradle number of German-speaking
Tyrolese under Italian domination,
has been upheld by the peace con-
ference. President Seitz expressed
himself on the boundary question as
follows:
During the armistice we had hopes
that President Wilson'S fourteen points

that we will be badly disappointed;

If you suffer from backache; head

poorly and are languid in the morn

regular and unnatural in appearances,

prepared for kidney trouble. They
are recommended by thousands. Can
Harrisburg residents desire more
convincing proof of their effective
ness than the statement of a Harris

willingly testifies to their worth?

TOLL RATES IN
EFFECT TODAY
SHOW CHANGES
Computed on Air Line Dis
tance and Station-to-
Station Basis

The new toll telephone rates pre-
sent a number of striking changes
and it is rather hard to decide
whether they are cheaper or more
expensive than the rates which be-
came obsolete at midnight last.
They are figured on 'air-line" dis
tance, and computed on a station
to-station basis. Where a person asks
for q certain person, person-to-per-
son rate, about one-fourth more than
the station o-station rate prevails.
1t is commonly conceded that in
the end, for the same amount OF
service formerly furnished, higher
rates will prevail.
On the other hand, toll calls made
at night, between $50 o'clock and
midnight, about one-half and be-
tween midnight and 4.30 a. m., about
one-fourth of the day station-to-
station rates will prevail. Charges
on toll calls over long distances will
be smaller proportionately than
those made on suburban calls.
AS an example of he intricacy of
the government schedule, station
to-station call from Harrisburg to
Carlisle is now fifteen cents, instead
of twenty cents, as formerly. On the
other hand, the rate to Dillsburg
Is now fifteen cents, rather than ten
cents, as it was before the new rates
went into effect. The rate to New
York is s1.05, rather than S1.25. and
to Washington 20 cents rather than
80 cents.
On the whole, the rates are cheap

with the old system, it was possible
to call certain person to the tele-
phone, instead of holding converse.
