BONDS MAKE THE HUN RI AUSTRIA-HUNGARY CRUMBLING. Reports received today from sources usually considered reliable indicate that a strong movement is on foot in Vienna to grant national autonomy— in other words, to comply with con- dition No. 10 of President Wilson’s fourteen provisions for the establish- ment of a lasting peace. In his proc- lamation the President had the fol- lowing to say regarding the dual monarchy: The peoples of Austria-Hun- gary, whose place among nations we wish to see safegvarded and assured, should be accorded the freest opportunity of autonomous development. Gradually the significance and wis- dom of the President’s fourteen con- ditions are fast becoming appar- ent to the subjects of Austria-Hun- gary. The dual monarchy has with- in its borders some 19 nationalities represcnted and each one is naturally desirious of autonomy. It is obvious that if genuine autonomy is granted, Germany wouid lose her most pow- erful ally and that her dream of a powerful Middle Europe would ish forthwith. It is not to be imagined for a mo- van- ment that the Prussian military lead- ers will tolerate such a step if they can prevent it. They are in absolute control of the situation in Austria- Hungary at present under the terms of the agreement reached over a year ago between the two countries regarding the fusipn of military forces. When that agreement signed the Austro-Hungarian general staff ceased to exist except in name, and the disposition of troops from the dual nmonarchy has been entirely in the hands of Hindenburg and his ad- visers. They will fight to the st ditch to prevent the granting of the autonomy, but on the other hand, it is possible that matters have reached such a stage that they will be power- less to hinder Germany's ally in the contemplated move. If Austria-Hungary really national autonomy to the various races within her coufines, it will be the first bit of evidence of good faith displayed by her, and it would be ac- cepted as an indication that she in- tends to cease hostilities. was grants AMERICAN ATRPLANES, In today's news we find the pleas- ing announcement that an American alr squadron conducted a successful bombing raid on two fortified places occupied by the Germans. The first fact which impresses the reader is that the squadron was composed of 360 machines, of which 200 were used for bombing purposes, 100 were battle planes and 50 were triplanes. This mammoth squadron represents what America can do in the way of air- plane production, calamity howlers to the contrary notwithstanding. An- other fact worth noting is that the squadron dropped 32 tons, or ap- proximately 65,000 pounds of explo- sives on the points which were thelr objectives. The enemy must have thought that the end of the world had arrived when those mighty bird- like machines hovered over them and hurled down ton after ton of destruc- tive material. And this is only a sample of what the enemy may ex- pect. The Germans have bombarded non-combatants, hospitals de- fenseless towns long enough. The day Their for- immunity now and of retribuilon has arrived. tifled cities have enjoyed too lonz. They shall realize what air warfare means. Here’s hop- ing the American bombers will soon be flying across the Rhine. There are some excellent targets in the dear old “Vaterland”. BONDS MAKE THE HUN RUN. A WARNING.

It is enough to ins upon the particular purpose which h effort suggested. In so far as this was simply a part of the modern in- clination toward realism, it was, of course, nothing new. But the striv- ing for a special intimacy of effect— is what may fairly be called a fresh characteristic. A related inteat can be ceen in other recent work. There is, for example, the Gutzon Boegium statue of Lincoln appeared to New Jerse; So closely inviting to human companionship has this ated figure of Lincoln appeared to the children of Newark that small boys and girls have made almost a practice of spending their time roundabout it, sittiag in the Presi- dent’s lap, reading there, ar nodding near his feet, or perhaps climbing upon his shoulder and curling oae arm around his neck. there is a new appeal here, that this should be possible. Yet if it must be admitted that two cou are too few to make a clan, or to prove the advent of a novel style ia statues, let a third be brought to judgment, perhaps the most daring of them all. Consider C. §. Pietro's figure of John Burroughs, lately un- veiled for the Museum of Art in Toledo, Ohio. Here is a representa- tion fully intended as a piece of com- memorative art—a monument in every sense of the word—yet which has not the first trace of convea- tional dignity. Burroughs shown in life-scale, resting upon a rock, his legs swinging loosely off from its curved surface, his left hand ading a glance that looks deep into distance, scrutinizing and at the th same time caressing all the details of | ‘,‘,‘::: clothes he —n0 coat He is the And so he an actual pedestal, the scene before him.

Above ! it all it can produce a happy intimacy of eflect—at least it can when succeeds. When it fails it is rather worse, rather more baaal, worst of conventioral monuments. in any event it suggests the coming of a new generation in the age-long suc- cession world’'s statues of the famous men.

There are the sanitary conditions, liness, not by allowing expectorating on the floors or wherever it happens to be. There are also other sanitary conditions that mneed attention. In speaking on the subject, not long since with a man of foreign birth, he told me that when a boy at home, he had been taught and had read, that the Americans were of the high- est ideals, the most wonderful people. He felt they were almost God Him- self, kind and good, and had a long- ing to go to America and see and be among such wonderful people. Ben- jamin Franklin was his ideal. He thought he would find all Americans like him He came to America, a voung man. The first place he found employment in, was In a factory in Waterbury, Connecticnt. There he was so surprised and disappointed to find Americans were not what he had expected to find, a Benjamin Frank- lin. The men would laugh at him, jeer at him, play all kinds of jokes on because he could not speak or erstand the English language, because of his foreign ways. They would not accept or help him. He was very home-sick longed for some one to be kind to him, (think, mcther, how would you feel if it was vour boy!) Coming from a good home, without mother, fath- er, brother or sister near him, they thousands of miles away, having a fair education made it doubly hard to bear. Much credit is due the man. He made the most of the opportuni- ties that awaited him in this won- derful country, and at the present time is one of ijariford’'s business men. The time came when he found there are many good Americans. There are hundreds and hundreds of others who arrive here with just such thoughts of America and Ameri- can people 1o be disappointed. Why have such conditions? It is for each one of us to help them rather tian throw cold water on them. Many times my heart aches for them and T feel that I must reach out and help every one of them.

Enlarged conservation con- sumptio.. to needs population measures are being put in effect throughout the empire which are expected to stretch out the avail- able food materials until time for planting again. The danger spot in the German food situation is in the shortage of fats. Hfforts made during the sum- mer to overcome this deficiency through the production of large quantities of oil bearing vegetables were partially successful. Severe strictions on the use of oils of kinds have been put into effect the German food administrato pecially in the matter of butter ande meat fats.
