MANY PLAN FOR POSTWAR AUSTRIA
Most Proposals Reserve Good Spot for Small Nation

The little Austria which Hitler sWal-
lowed like a cocktail in 1885, before pro-
ceeding to devour other larger and
stronger countries of Europe, may emerge
from this global war as large factor in
post-Hitler Europe.
Postwar planning still is in nebu
lous stage where European boundaries
are concerned, but it seems significant
that many if not most of the proposals
put forward for a reorganized Europe re-
serve a pretty good spot for Austria.
Some OF them advocate an enlarged
Austria to include parts of Southern
Germany in line with projected whole
sale ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Nazi Third
Reich. Others suggest Austria as the
nucleus of a Danubian confederation
that would include Hungary and Ru
mania, as we'll as Bavaria and other
Southern German provinces.
Another project calls for a United
States Of Central Europe, to include not
only Austria but Poland, Czechoslovakia,
Hungary, Rumania, Yugoslavia and pos
sibly Greece and Bulgaria. It is slgnifl-
cant that this project is viewed favor
ably in Polish quarters, although the
Polish government officially has not yet
gone beyond advocacy of an Eastern Eu-
ropean confederation, or rather two con-
declarations closely linked: Poland
Czechoslovakia in the north and Greece
Yugoslavia in the south, with the door
left open for other states to join.
Old AuStri, Fell Anart
Advocates of most projects including
Austria stress the role which Austria has
played in the history Of Europe as a CO.
ordinator of cultures and nationalities,
as a supernatural state Incorporating
within itself whole collection of ma
tionalities. This Austria of the Haps-
burgs fell apart under the stress of war
In 1918, its various people merging into
the succession states of Poland, Czecho-
slovakia, YugoSlavia. Rumania, Hungary
and Austria.
The Austria which was left and which
IN 1893 was annexed by Nazi Germany,
was a little nation Of 6500000 German
speaking people Of whom nearly 100000
lived in Vienna, the former proud i'm

The shells that Americans and their
Allies are firing all over the world are
propelled by hard, perforated, gray and
taffy-colored grains of smokeless DOW
der. AS a relative or friend of a fight
ing man, you may take comfort in the
knowledge that it is the best and most
widely used military explosive ever de-
vised, as superior to the powder used in
other wars as electric lighting is to
kerosene.
Used only as propellant-which
means it carries the shell where it has
been aimed-it is actually neither smoke
less nor powder but it has two essential
virtues. 1t becomes wholly gaseous and
burns at almost any desired speed. and
it leaves the gun barrel free of corrosive
dirt, the combustion residue that for
years restricted the successful use of
long-range rapid-fire rifled guns
Smokeless powder is used in all rife,
machlne-gun. anti-aircraft and land
and naval cannon. To powdermen it is
known as single-base explosive because
it is made of ether and alcohol, wood or
cotton fibers, plus certain acids. Nitro
glycerin, the essential ingredient of
double-base powder, is not present. The
substances that make up smokeess pow
der are ingeniously mixed and subjected
to great pressure.
1t is not truly smokeless because it
leaves slight haze on firing, but this
haze is much less than that formed by
old types of black powder. The merit
In powder deficient in smoke is ap-
preciated by coast guard and other land
gunners, who do not wish the location
of their emplacements revealed to air
craft on which they have trained their
guns. And since it leaves no glowing
residue in the gun barrel, smokeless pow
der is of additional benefit because it
reduces the danger OF a premature ex-
plosion.
The samples shown in the accompany
ing illustrations come from an ordnance
plant deep in the Blue Ridge country
whose capacity, military secret, would
surprise you If you knew it.
In seeking powder of certain strength,
the rate of burning is all-important. In
smokeless powder, this acceleration is
governed by the minute performations
that run the length of the grains. Known
as pin holes, they are introduced into

for a new deal. But what kind Of new
deal?
Insofar as refugee groups and Or
CARNATIONS here in the United States
can be accepted as representing the
Austrian population itself there would
seem to be wide difference Of opinion.
Most prominent among the refugees
is the head of the House of Hapsburg
himself, Archduke Otto, the 30-year-old
pretender to the throne of Austria
Hungary.
Otto maintains it was a tragic mis-
take, in the last war, for the Allies to
encourage tendencies leading to collapse
of the Hapsburg empire and its replace
ment by number of independent states
This time, he says, the right forces
should be encouraged to prepare the way
for better Europe
The right forces he explains, ARE
those which aim at decentralizng Ger
many in order to break Prussian leader
ship and which aim at reintegrating the
old supra national community on the
Danube"
Some Of his critics interpret this to
mean simply dismemberment of Ger
many and restoration of the Hapsburg
empire, with Otto as emperor.

was told that this was the Russian way
and was asked to do the work for which
he was hired without discussing the plans
OF the Russian government. The engi-
neer shrugged his shoulders, considered
| practical and went ahead The same

he must design his construction to last

why the Russians wanted so many times
more steel and concrete in their build
ings than he was accustomed to using
in the American factories
Factories as Fortresses.
The explanation given him that the
very climate in Russia requires stronger
factories did not satisfy him until he
understood that the factories he was
planning might be used eventually as
fortresses. This was proved at Stain
grad. Even today nobody quite knows
the resources of the Soviet armies.
Military attaches have recently been
permitted to follow the operations of the
ago no military observer was allowed
near any Russian fighting front. But
even today when some American and
British observers are attached to the
headquarters of the advancing armies
they do not know their actual strength.
Stain had built up his armies to resist
any combination of enemies.
In 1888 when Hitler came into power
the Russian leader warned the Western
democracies of the danger of a world
war caused by the Nazis At that time
Russia was in bad favor in London, Paris
and Washington. The British and the
French governments listened politely to
the interesting information impaired to
them by the Soviet diplomats but treated
them lightly.
Warnings Went Unheaded.
Many heads of government in those
days believed the warnings were pure
Bolshevlk propaganda designed to scare
the world and bring about bad blood
among the European nations. Those
were the days of peace and disarmament
conferences when people and govern
ments trusted in Geneva conferences
more than in rearmament.
The suspicious Georgian who headed
the U. S. S. R. government saw in the
lack of interest of the European govern
ments something more than apathy He
suspected them Of not being opposed to
Germany's re-arming provided the
Reich's thirst for expansion could be
directed toward Russia. This led to the
conclusion that sooner or later he would
have to fight the growing Nazi military
machinery.
The feverish but unobtrusive re-arma-
ment was speeded up. A relatively small
number OF foreigners could enter the
territory OF the U. S. S. R. and none of
them regardless Of how shrewd they
were, could catch the slightest glimpse of
what Russia was doing in military way.
The parades in Moscow were impressive.
But the foreign observers and intelli-
gence agents believed that the $4,000 men
who paraded before Lenin's mausoleum
were the only thing Stain could show the
outside world to make an impression.
The preparations Of the Russian armies
were progressing rapidly. Any one who
ventured to talk too much about it was

Many Austrian Refugees.
Nevertheless Ottos leadership Is not
accepted by all Austrian groups in the
United States His stanchest support
erS include the organizers of the free
Austrian movement. Among the leaders
of this group are Hans Root and Guido
Zernatto, former members of the Schus-
chnigg cabinet; Prof Dietrich Won Hide
brand, former professor of Catholic the
ology in the Universities of Munich and
Vienna; Count Degenfeld, gentleman-in-
waiting to the former Empress Zta
Otto's mother, and Walter Schuschnigg,
cousin of the former chancellor.
Another group, calling itself Austrian
Action, is led by Count Ferdinand Ger
min, son Of one Of the last foreign minis
terS Of the HapSburg empire It does
not support Otto of Hapsburg, advocates
establishment of liberal regime in post
war Austria, and meanwhile disclaims
any particular program except all-out
support OF the war effort.
Adherents of the former democratic
parliamentary regime in Austria are be-
hind the Austrian Labor Committee, a
group decidedly anti -Hapsburg. The
leaders include Julius Deutsch Socialist
generalissimo in the brief Austrian civil
war of February, 1884, who found refuge
in CzechoSlovakia and later came to the
United States. Deutsch and his Social
Democratic party colleagues fought
against the establishment of an author
itarian regime in Austria, partly because
they saw it as A prelude to restoration of
the Hapsburgs.
Another in this group is Friedrich
Adler, who came close TO being executed
under the Hapsburgs for the assassina-
ton of the Prime Minister, Count
Stuergkh, in 1916.
stu another Austrian group, also anti
Hapsburg, is the Assembly for Demo-
cratic Austrian Republic. Led by Dr.
Fritz Roger, former Austrian govern
ment official, this group includes former
Austrian Communists among its adher-
ents.

Labor Department, says that no 1918
prices are quoted for hens, or cooking
fowls, because no hens were sold at the
time by order of the United States Food
Administration in move to spur egg
production
AN increase of or per cent in the
index Of food costs between December IS
and January II marked the smallest
monthly rise in year, Secretary Perkins
said
AT the present time the family food
bill is being affected by many factors
other than price changes Short SUD-
plies have forced the consumer to DIR
chase substitutes which are not cur
rently priced. Reports of black market
operations for meats cannot be fully re-
f1ected In official reports. Difficulties in
obtaining certain foods are being re-
ported all over the country
The Bureau of Labor Statistics, dig
ging into accounts of 1918 days. says
it was considered very likely that shoes
also would have been rationed if the
World War had continued through the
spring of 1919. That mems and women's
wearing apparel would have been stand
ardized and its prices regulated There
was serious threat OF gasoline ration
ing too
Although the pinch on all foods now
is tighter the bureau says the standard
of living is higher and the cost of living
lower than for the same period in the
World War.
In 1917 and 1918 every Tuesday was a
Nationwide meatless day and every
Saturday a porkless day. Americans
were asked to observe one meatless meal
day throughout the rest of the week.
Mondays and Wednesdays were wheat
less days by Government edict-with
