ALLIES TO DEBATE
AUSTRIA'S PLIGHT
WILL MEET IN VIENNA SOON TO
CONSIDER NATIONS DEs-
PERATE CASE.

Washington.-The final step that
compelled the Austrian government to
give notice to the principal allied and
associated power that it could not
continue the administration of the
nation after January Is was the de-
mand of the government clerks for an
increase of one billion crowns a month
In salaries. January 15swas fixed for
the expiration of their ultimatum. The
increase was demanded on account of
the depreciation of the Austrian
| crown.
Ii was learned at the State Depart
ment that conference of representa-
tives OF the former parts of the Austro-
hungarian empire, including Czecho-
Siovakia, Hungary, and those regions
ceded to Serbia, and which will be at
tended also by representatives of the
allied nations, will be held in Vienna
soon. The United States has been
invited to sit in, but it was indicated
that this country probably will not be
represented, as the problem is one in
which the United States has no inter-
est, although there is general appre-
hension over the situation. The con-
terence will consider the desperate
case OF Austria and seek to find rem
edies, but in the meantime it is be-
lieved the allied governments will be
obliged to intervene in Austria if the
population is to be saved from starva-
ton. The powers took up the ques-
tion Of such a conference two months
ago.
Hugh Frazier, the United States
commission at Vienna, representing
this country unofficially on the Aus
trian section of the General Repara-
tions Commission, which sits in Paris,
has cabled the State Department that
the Austrian government, through the
minister Of supply, had been informed
by the government employees that they
required the raise of wages by Janu-
ary Is, and the minister had replied
that the government was unable to
meet the demands. Mr.. Frazier had
been told that the failure to satisfy
the demand of the employees would
bring on critical situation and this
be even more desperate than the ex-
haustion Of food supplies, which also |
would come to pass about January Is |
unless Austria should be granted for
eign credits.
Experts have figured out that a
credit Of $1oo,ooO.oOO could pull Aus
tria through the emergency, although
a credit, unless accompanied by a
comprehensive plan for solving the
Austrian question, would not be the
nations salvation. Il

liver medicine, we use. We use 1t
for torpid liver sour stomach, head

could get along without it, knowing
what 1t has done for us, and the money

THE 7,0O0,O00-bale crop will bring
the South a financial return Of more

to be 100000 bales, or more, the
price OF cotton today, considering
the big carryover, would have un-
doubtedly be quoted at cents a

even predicted cotton would have
