T.ondon, June 28 Another Austrian
attempt to throw out peace feelers via
Switzerland ha failed. It was reported
here todav, in press dispatches from
Zurich.
These dispatches stated that Austro
Hungary, through an unofficial repre
sentative In Switzerland, during the Inst
few days, has attempted to discover the
Allied standpoint regarding "Important
questions." The emissary failed com
pletely, and returned to Vienna.
Owing to the seriousness of the food
situation In Austria-Hungar, martial
law Is expected monmenlarily to be
proclaimed throughout the empire, ac
cording to Slss dispatches received
here today.
A summary of the situation In Austria
by French officials says that while the
empire Is In serious difficulties, there Is
great danger In hoping too much from
them, l.lttle hope is seen in the possi
bility of a successful revolt.
"It Is admitted In responsible circles,"
the statement reads, "that the news
from Austria reveals a serious and
troubled situation In that country, but
It would be a great danger for the
Allies to exaggerate the Importance of
possible consequences Austria has
allies who could easily provide the troops
necessary to. re-establish order It revolts
arise.
'The Austrians are submlislv and
have not the energy to etart a strong
revolutloriary""movement. 'Besides, the
two trouble-making elements In the
country could not combine easily. In
Vienna the Labor party Is Gorman,
while in Budapest it Is Mag jar. Their
claims are quite different from the na
tionalist claims of the Czoch-Slovaks
and other races, and no union between
them Is likely.
'The army Itself is never Influenced
bv labor1 trouble, and It Is always pos
sible to oppose tho latter by mere mili
tary force.
"Austra Is In no way ready to nego
tiate separately, but as an ally of Ger
many she is only a deadweight. It would
be a bad policy to extend a hand to her
now, for our attitude would be used
against the nations which stand against
her. It is our Interest to support these
nations in their claims"

Cleared Up
'London, June 28.
Imperial Chancellor Hertling has
been called to German headquarters
for an important conference, it was
learned here today. This news fol
lowed word from Berlin that Foreign
Minister von Kuehlmann probably
would not resign immediately and
would at least remain until the Rus
sian peace and eastern questions hod
been further cleared up.
n r.EORGt: renwick
Special Cable lo fe'i cuing Public Ledger
Copyright, 13IK, hu .Vein 1 ok Timet Co.
Amsterdam, June 23.
Von Kuehlmann, by his remarka
ble speech In the Reichstag, has '
roused a hornet's nest, and latest
information fiom Beilln Is to the ef
fect that the Pan Germans arc out for
his polltliml life. Count Westarp, the
conservative leader, heads the move- i
ment, and lie has the suppott of the
national liberals. The Jingoes have
been encouraged by the attitude of
the Chancellor.
The Cologne A'olks Zeltung declines
that Kuehlmann spoke without the
knowledge of the military authorities;
and so threatening is the situation
that Hertllng will have to intervene
again to "srtve the situation."
Apart from Its misleading features,
which nre apparent to all, the speech
of Kuehlmann Is a remarkable one,
nnd not for a long time have German
political waters been so profoundly
stirred. Nearly a couple of months
ago 1 said If, at the end of three
months after the beginning of the
offensive, the German military chiefs
had not reached the decisive and pte
scrlbed goal, some one In Germany
might begin to take stock of things.
Three months are over nnd vve have
this speech, which quite a considera
ble portion of the German press look
upon In the nature ofa stocktaking.
It is pet haps the first deliberate effort
to instill In the German people some
thing like tho truth about the seri
ousness of the situation, but the
speech pleases nobody.

speech only Increased the depression

funereal tones The Hamburger Xach

BERLIN PRESS SAYS
KUEHLMANN MUST GO
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Covvriaht, 1018, bv Sew York Timea Co.
The Hague, June 28,
That Von Kuehlmann must go seems
to be the unanimous opinion of yester
day morning's German papers. Even
the Liberal naners annear dlsannolnted
In the Foreign Secretary and sav that he
vacillates anu am nor improve tne situa
tion by trying to correct his speech.
Theodore Wolff, in fhe Tageblatt, says
that Von Kuehlmann speaks of reform
ing the diplomatic service, but It doubts
If he will ever undertake this, since his
enemies are strong and persistent.
In parliamentary circles, that paper
savs, the Foreign Secretary's fall Is
talked of, and the Conservatives are
working against them It savs that his
enemies have strengthened their argu-
ment.uy pointing to tne stock exchange,
where prices dropped after Von Kuehl
mann's speech. In reality, the paper
savs. It wsb the news of the Austrian
defeat that affected the markets.
In the majority party circles the pa
per adds. It Is well known that Von
Kuehlmann's speech was only a excuse
and not a reason. The Tageblatt argues
that if the Pan-Germans drive Von
Kuehlmann out of ofllce It will be a
splendid thing for the Allies' Jingo press
It also says that the Conservatives still
hope to oust the Prussian Premier, so
that Prussian reform can be satisfac
torily settled.
The Vorwaerts says that Strcsse.
mann's speech was intended to bring
about Von Kuehlmann's fall and that
he used parliamentary parade of words
"Immer fester draff" (These were the
Crown Prince's well-remembered words
during the Zabern affair.)
Tne paper adds that the hatred or
ueinmann-tioiineg is cast In the shadow
by the Pan-German agitation against
Kuehlmann. It says, however, that the
Secretary was Bethmann's fault and In
stead of standing by what he said, be
vacillated toward the right, thereby los
ing the sympathy of the people
The Lokal Anzelger also says that the
Socretary should1 have stuck on his words
and showed conviction and even retired
on Monday's speech. It adds that he
must go soon, but his position Is regard
ed as impossible and the German people
refuse to accept the Bethmann policy
again. The Anzelger goes on:
"It is known that the military author
ities are still confident of victory and
believe that it must not be described by
civilian. It is also questionable how
much longer the Chancellor can put up
with the Foreign Secretary."

Count Westarp's speech In the Reich

of the armv, and his son, Captain I-au-rente
Kelsir, both of whom were In
Fiance without knowledge of the other's
whereabouts, met by chance behind tho
battlellnes while Captain KelserV, in
fantry company was being honored in a
small French village.
This Information was contained In a
letter to Mrs. Kelwr nnd local friends
of the physician in letters from France
Doctor Kelser also lias another son
in tho service Lieutenant Hubert
Kelser, now stationed at Camp Colt,
Gettysburg, ahxiously awaiting orders
that will send him ovciseaH to join
his father and brother.
While this chance meeting was occur
ring In France, and whllo Lieutenant
Kelser at Gettysburg fretted because no
overseas orders had jet arrived. Doctor
Kelser's wife sat, In the Tacony home,
anxiously awaiting the return of 'her
boys."
She has given her all her husband
and her two sons but she is liapp) and
proud of her sacilflce
Captain Kelser's company was being
presented with a standard of colors bj
descendants of Iafajette when Major
Kelser chanced to meet hlni The
spent the night together and the mxt

Major Kelser obtained his piesenl
commission December 8, 19H, while a
member of the medical corps of the
Pennsylvania National Guard Two
5 ears ago he went to the Mexican bor
der. Last Christmas he received his
orders to go overseas.
At that time Laurente Kelser, who
graduated from West Point a jear ago
as a lieutenant, was stationed at cnat

to a port of embarkation he pat,seo
through Tacony, but a telegiam whlcn
he had sent his- mother, telling her to
be at the station, failed to reach her
until her son was aboard ship.
A coincidence in the presentation of
the standard of colors tb Captain Keiser
and his company by the descendants of
Lafaette Is that his great-grandmother
was one of the girls who, in Chester,
welcomed Lafajette In song in 1821 us
