A wireless message received by the llolshcviki today announced a
revolution in Vienna.

visional ministry nor any further details than the bare mention of the
revolution.
LONDON, Jan. 21.
Revolutionary disorders are occurring in Vienna and the spirit of rc
Tolt is spreading, according to a wireless message from Petrograd which
was picked up here today.
Up to 10:15 o'clock today there was no confirmation here from any
source of the Petrograd reports.
For several days there have been reports of riols in the Austro-Hun-garian
industrial centers and the unrest has been growing.
Although the Austian Government asserts that the general strike has
been settled by a compromise, the regulations govcrninc; public meetings
and the press have been tightened. .All political literature, except the
pamphlets issued by the so-called Patriotic party, has been suppressed and
mass-meetings in Vienna are being broken up at the point of the bayonet.
The German militarists arc exerting powerful influence upon the
Austro-Hungarian Government, urging drastic steps to check the unrest.
GENEVA, Jan. 21.
A mutiny has broken out in the Vienna garrison and the soldiers re
fused to fire on mobs that wcre-destrojing property, according to informa
tion from the frontier today. I
It was reported that numerous food shops were pillaged and that
anarchists were openly defying the authorities.
Austrian Socialist leaders arc
the extremists of their party," according to delayed messages received
today from Vienna.
The dispatch reported 200,000 .Viennese still striking. .At Budapest i
the strike partially continues.
WASHIXliTO.V, Jan. 24.

o'clock today on tho Smolny Institute wireless rcpoils of i evolution In
Vienna.
Tho American Government, Informed of tho United 1'icss dispatches from
Petrograd reporting tho wirelessed information received there, sought Imme
diately to get official reports from Its foreign ofllccs.
NEXT BOLSHEVIK GOVERNMENT
IN AUSTRIA, RUSSIANS PREDICT
STOCKHOLM, Jan. 2-1.
The Bolshevik Government is greatly encouraged over the agitations
which have developed in the Austrian empire, nnd the prediction was
openly made in Petrograd that "the next Bolshevik regime will bo cstub
lishd in the Dual Monarchy."
The Russian soldiers have been distributing literature among the
Austro-Hungarian troops ever sinco the armistice went into eircct on
the eastern front, and the influence of this propaganda is already making
itself felt.
The Germans have tried vainly to stop the increasing friendliness
