Austrian workers before taking up '
'their tools following the recent,
, strikes did these three significant
things:
'Laid down conditions forcing
Foreign Minister Czcrnin to ad-

The Karolyi party refuses to join '
the Government party, because it
wants an independent Hungary. Tho '
Tisza nartv is undecided '
jioia party is uiiucciiiiu.
The Czechs arc suspicious toward
Germany and have asked appoint-1
.ment of an Austro-Hungarian coun-
to watch their interests in the
peace conference. The Pan-tfcrmans '
ire equally suspicious of their
Mighbors and are calling" one an
other names.
But the masses of the countries
feel the same the cry of both peo-
I ' pies is for bread and peace.

American .statesman's speech was an
