V TUKSDAVN HUMMAHY AuntrUn NUuiUIoii Hhown Discontent Among Workmen. ? ? - ? I Tho crlala in Aufltria, arising from the dlHContent of the iteople ovei the continuation of (ho wur. tho scarcity of food und u general <te*ire for peace, has resulted In the resignation ?f the Austrian cabinet. For weeks there Imh f>e,?n Jdtter oi> position to the government on the part of the people and during the Kut few daya thl? twin rout It oil in nation wide MtrlkeH and aoino disturbances. The internal utrife in Austria, ap parently due chiefly to war- weariness, the high cost of living and the dis location generally of economic life, continue** to he of absorbing intercut. Although the exact situation resulting from the trouhloun times 1h not Riv en Iji the extremely meaner details available, the dispatches that have crept through are Indicative of a slt uatlon that will require Hkillful hand ling by the authorities a Rain to bring the dissatisfied populace into a state of tactahility. No uowspai>era in Vienna were i>er inlttcd last Saturday. The only pub lication allowed was a single sheet bulletin, which told some of tho do talis of the nation-wide strike and the developments in tho peace discussions at Urest-Lltovsk. As usual, the hand of the German propagandist was to be seen In this one-sheet publication, for the chief announcement In It was from tho (ierman social democracy of Austria. Tills lay qtross on last year's declaration of the Anstro-lIungarlan foreign minister, Count Czernin, that the central powers were ready to make an Jmmediate general peace, without annexations or indemnities Evidently, however, this statement failed to placate the strikers In Vi enna, who sent a large delegation to wait upon the food minister to inform him of conditions among the work ing classes and to Impress on him that their desire for peace overshadowed and took precedence over all other demands. In Hungary also the ]>eoplc are endeavoring to n peer tain what are the prospect's fpr a cessation of hostilities and a return to normal. So insistent has been their efforts in this direc tion that the Hungarian premier has been forced to announce in the lower house of parliament that the govern ment adhered to the principle of peace without annexation or Indem nities ? that oven, the king shared In tbW flow. The premier, however, added that the question of Alsaco Lorrnloo should not at the present time enter Into the situation as it was not calculated to strengthen the gov ernment's position. , The censorship lias entirely closed flown with rega rd to the internal sit uation in Germany, although one of the llerlln nowspaj>ers is quote?l as de claring that the oft-postponed speech of the Imperial chaucellor to the main committee of the reichstag will bo de livered next Thursday. The debate following ihe speech of the chancel lor in expected to extcud over three days. l?notlkial advices from Coiamhagen are to the effect that Ix'ou TroUky the bolshevlkl foreign minister, ha? asserted that although he has depart* ed from i'etrograd the peace negotia tions at Hrest-Lltovsk would continue during hlH absence. Trotzky in re ported to have informed the chief Gorman delegate at Hrest-Litovak that his visit to Petrograd was merely for the purpose of reporting to the con* gress of workmen's and soldiers' dep uties. Sir Kdward Carson, minister with out i>ort folio In the ltrttlsh war cab inet, has resigned. Insurance For Every Fighter. The Treasury Department is mak ing every effort to have evCry member of America's lighting forces take ad vantage of the Government Insurance plan, which Secretary McAdoo asserts to bo uthe most just and humane pro vision ever made hy any nation for Its soldiers and sailors." The purpose Is rapidly being achieved, the insurance having passed the third billion mark in the total of policies written, and there are many military units iu which every member has taken Insurance. The automatic insurance provided by the law is only partial and limited protection, payable only to wife, child, or widowed mother and ceases after February 12, 1018. It la important, therefore, not only to the soldiers and sailers of the country but to their fam ilies and dependents, that before that late they avail themselves of the full Government protection, which can go as high as $10,000 and Is payable to a wife, husband, child, grandchild, par ent, brother, or sister. The law also provides for the reed ucation and rehabilitation of the to tally disabled and monthly compensa tion to those disabled. We've a wonderful line of bargains for the men with the dollars.

England, France and Italy must be fe<l from America's great storehouse. They will get some com ? especially Italv ? but most of their grain ship ments must be wheat. Their ability to use corn Is small compared to the fncllltles they Jiave for using wheat. And It Is the opinion of ofTlclnls In Washington thnt the present Is no time to try and change the eating habits of Europe. America's greatest use of corn will be In the form of corn bread and corh meal, mixed with wheat In the making of leavened hread.

N??e??lty for Mili tary Training. "Now, Billle," said his mother, **your Uncle Dun is coming tomorrow to spend u week with lis on the farm, and If you want to know about the war, here's your opportunity. Uncle Dan is probably one of the best-Informed men In the country." BllUe clapped his hands and gave such a whoop that he wakened the baby, but what could you expect of n fifteen-year-old boy who Is a living Interrogation point and wants to know about war? ' Uncle Dan arrived in di\e time and IMIllo watched for an opportunity, it came that evening after dinner when Uneljp Dan had lighted a cigar and taken a seat on the porch. "I'm mighty glad you came, Uncle Don. I want to talk to you about the war. We have Just put military train ing in our township high school, but we had a hard time to do It. The Joneses nnd the Greggs objected. They said the war wouldn't como over here. Grandma Jones said: 'They ain't no use to worrit, It will soon blow over.' Well, we put the training In Just the same. You orter heard Judge Brow nell, the president of the school board, do the slackers up. He said unless we take off our couts and go to It, Ger many may yet win, and If she does, she will take over the great British fleet as a war trophy ond compel us to do what ever she wants to ; that she could mnke us pay all the cost of the war; the kaiser could tax us as he pleased and that we couldn't help ourselves. He could make every one pay over a part of what he earns; that he could make the farmers pay rent for their own farms, etc. Now, Uncle, what do you think of that?" "Well, ? my boy," said Uncle Dan, "all that Judge Brownell says might easily come true and uiay unless we go quickly to the aid of the allies with large numbers of men and help them break the German line. Unless we can beat the submarines, they may pre vent us from gettlag enough food to tha allies to keep them going. In that case Germany would win. As matters stand today, our greatest need is trained men. If we hod had several millions of men with military training in our industries nnd on our farms when tho war came, who could hove been called at once for service, I do not believe the kaiser would have forced the war upon us. As It was, he had no respect for us, und now we are in It and must go through with It. But never agnin must we be caught so wholly unprepared. "There Is only one safe way," said Uncle Dan, "and that Is to adopt per manently universal military training, apply It to every young man w,ho Is physically fit, say In his nineteenth or twentieth yeah The training can be carried forward In the United States 'training camps that are now being es tablished for training men called by the selective draft As soon as these mer. vacate these stations, they should be filled by younger men, and ' this should be made the permanent policy of the country." Blllie's mother, Mrs. Graham, had overheard the conversation. She came out and said: "Really, Brother Dan, are you serious as to the dangers of, our country? If It Is as bad as that, It Is high time for us to wake np and do something about it" "Exactly," replied Uncle Dan. "It Is better to wake up now than to be rudely awakened later. We may as Well understand, sister, that this is our war and we must win it or God help America. Everything that we have or hope to have ? our liberties, our blessings, our opportunities are all in* volved In the great Issue before us. Nothing must stand between us and winning this war. It is a question whether the peoples' right or the kai ser's might shall dominate the world. If there ever was a holy war, this is It We are fighting for world liberty. We are fighting for the freedom of humanity. We are fighting for the right of men to govern themselves In stead of being governed agblnst their will by a war-mad overlord.' Perilous times are ahead ot us. We must be prepared to make any sacrifice, to ?er> form any service that may be required of us." "Oh, Uncle Dan," exclaimed Blllle, "may I bring my chum, JImmie Col lins, when we have our next talk? He Is a bug on this war business and just orazy to see you." "Certainly," said Uncle Dan, with a henrty laugh. "If we are to have mors talks, I shall be glad to have JImmie Join us." ttlUfe flapped his hands and ran to the 'phone und told JImmie to be ovel at seven o'clock the next evening. i Columbiana l*rl?on S?nte?c?.
