Austrian Cabinet Crisis.

TIME effects of the events which have brought
about the resignation of the Austrian cabinet OF
DR.. Msyr concern not only the welfare OF
Austria but peace of central Europe. The immediate
of the crisis is the growth of the agitation for
union with Germany which, during the last few weeks.
has developed rapidly in the Austrian provinces Some
time ago plebiscite held in the Tyrol where an
overwhelming vote cast for union. few weeks
later in spite Of protests by France and other states,
a vote was taken in Sazburg in which over oS per
of the registered the desire to unite with
Germany Now the Anschuss movement has gained
great Roadway in the important industrial province OF
Styria, where it is proposed to hold plcbscite on
July 3. In the meantime, the Austrian government
has received warnings not only from France and
Italy and the entente nations but from Germany
against permitting fgrther plebisces to be held The
inability of the chancellor DR.. Mayr to secure obcdi-
ence from the provinces has forted him to resign

allies have promised to help Austria they have never
done and the time has come for the provinces
to look out for themselves There is throughout Aus
tria including Vienna an active and aggressive pam

indicated by its representation in parliament Through
this party and by other it is said that Hugo

figure in the Austrian steel and iron industry is max
ing propaganda for the Anschluss. AS this pan-Ger-
party is part of the conservative coalition upon
which Chancellor Mayrs cabinet depends for supports
the government cannot a majority the issue
of suppression of the pebscites The socialists, which
the largest single party, do not have majority
and refuse participate in government with Dr.
Mayrs clerical party. In such situation the posi-
bity of forming strong government is slight.
Externally the situation is equally bad. The little
entente is strongly opposed to the Auschluss
mcnt and any serious by Austria in that direc-
ton would result in invasion Furthermore, the
present crisis may delay indefinitely permanently
remove the possibility Of aid Austria, which is
being organized under the financial commission of
the league The only hope in the present crisis lies
in the common sense and patience of the Austrian
people Those virtues have not brought Austria much
thus far from the entente but they have saved her
during these years of starvation from the disturbances
and bioodshed which have occurred in other countries
that have suffered less.

join the conservatives and communists
who compose the opposition, the Wirth
cabinet would fall Attempts have been
made to strengthen the coalition by in
ducng the Gkman peoples party to join
it, bat they have been unsuccessful, among
other reasons because of the oppositiou'
within the coalition. The peoples party
is the party of SHINES and German big
business and as such is regarded with
greatest suspicion by the majority social
lists, who are chiefly trade unionists and
moderately socialistic. On the other hand,
the democrats, who arel also in the coali-
ton have the same unfriendly feeling for
the independent socialists upon whose neu-
trality the government is forced to rely.

under the auspices of the Japanese who
have announced their intention to cvacuate
Siberia but will find it impossible to do so
as long as there are disturbances in that
region From these same sources it IS
asserted that plans have been made to
transfer Gen. Wrangel and his troops from
Constantinople to Vladivostok where they
will undertake to accomplish the task in
which Admiral Kolchak so signally failed.
In the meantime, the three most inn
portant white leaders, Semenof, Ungern-
Sternberg and Merkuloff, the successor to
Gen Kappell, are engaged in a maze of
plots and counterplots by which each
hopes to secure Japanese support and with
that his own supremacy.
Gen. Semenoff, who was considered
the ruler OF the Far Eastern republic as
long as the Japanese garrison remained in
Chita, relnquished his post when they
withdrew and has since been living under
their protection. Since the recent coup in
Vladivostok, Semenof has been attempting
to go there, but the forces in control of the

receive him. Baron UngernSte has

There is no reason to expect that this
white revolt will be any more successful
than any previous one. The leaders do
not inspire confidence, their motives are
not above question and the international
issues involved make it appear that the
uprising is far from being a spontaneous ex

DENTISTS TO VISIT NENANA
ON TRIP THROUGH INTERIOR

Drs. Mellor and Carver, who have
been engaged in the practice of
their profession at the various camps
along the Government railroad, to
the South, will arrive in Nenana
tomorrow and plan to open offices
temporarily at the Cooney hotel,
where they will be prepared to do
all kinds of dental work. Later they
will go down river, visiting the
camps along the Yukon.
Drs. Mellor and Carver are not
strangers in Alaska, although this
is their first visit to Nenana. They
are very well known along the coast
where they have built up a large
practice. Their permanent offices are
in Seattle.

CHAIRMAN ANDERS PLANS
CELEBRATION VACATION

The duties imposed on and the
strenuous work required of the
chairman Of a celebration commit
tee oftimes become wearisome, and
no one has come to realize this
fact more than genial j. L. Anders,
the present incumbent in the deputy
mashal's Office in Nenana.
ANDY, as he is known best
by all the oldtimers, has proved to
be a live wire in arranging the ap-
preaching celebration-devoting all
of his spare time to making certain
of the success of the big jollifca-
ton. All this requires long hours
of application which, in time, takes
the pep" out of anyone. And Andy
feels that he has earned a rest, so
on the days when the rest of the
people will be celebrating, he will
HE himself to the cooling shades of
julius or some other alluring grey
ling stream close to Nenana, and
there devote himself to his favorite
pastime-fshing.
Those who sympathize with Andy
have staked him to rod, line, fly
hooks and other necessary equip
ment and instructed him as to the
best places to catch the willy grey
ling, and wish him the best Of luck.
1t is going to be up to the other
members of the celebration commit

do so and will start back for Daw-
son from Nenana, probably after
the arrival of the Fairbanks train
tomorrow.

COMMITTEE ADDS SPRlNTINC
FEATURE TO BIG PROGRAM

The celebration committee, having
discovered that there are a number
of men in town and along the line
who are eager to enter a long-dis-
lance race, have added five-mile
running race to the program, and it
is expected that this will be one OF
the big features of the celebration.
There are. several old-time runners
here who will go any distance from
a mile to 25 miles, and some of
them are ready to put up a little
money that they can beat anyone in
Interior at five miles.
The committee is having programs
printed for the convenience of the
public and these will be distributed
just before the celebration starts
on Saturday.
The work of decorating the town
is now under way, under the direc-
ton of Chairman Jack Donnelly,
and by tomorrow night most of the
places about town should be in
full holiday regalia The committee
will have it's hands full, however,
and they will appreciate all the as
sistance they can get. The public
is urged to go ahead with the de-
corating of stores and homes without
waiting to be reminded.
Chairman Anders, of the general
committee, has asked The News to
remind owners of dogs to keep
them tied up during the celebration.
There will be considerable racing,
with autos and horses, and trouble
is liable to result if the streets are
full of dogs.
Chairman Tom Mathews, of the
baseball committee, reports that he
will have the Nenana team in readi-
ness for the opening game with
Gibbon on Saturday afternoon, and
an exciting match is anticipated.
There will be another game on Sum
day and the third game will be play
ed on Monday. The Saturday game
will start Immediately after the ar
rival of the train from Healy.
After the game will come the
feature show at the Coliseum, and
then the grand free ball at Union
hall, for which elaborate prepara-
lions are being made by the COM
mittee. It is the intention to have
something doing every minute of
the celebration, from start to finish.
Reports from out the line indi-
cate that there will be a big dele
cation in on Saturday, and the COM
mittee is leaving nothing undone to
insure all visitors a joyful time
during their stay here. a."
