The demands for peace are increased by the dissatisfaction that is being manifested in the different provinces of the country, It is reflected in the statement at the conference with the bolsheviki that Austria wants noth- ing in the way.of territory from Rus- sia or in the shape of indemnity. It is anxious to sign a separate peace in order to lay down arms and adjust its own interior conditions. The national labor strike agaln ém- phasizes the leaning towards peace. Austria’s nose is belng held' to the grindstone by Germany with no in- tention of fetting up. It received muéh encouragement from the way in which the Italians were driven back but the resistance encountered on the Piaya has had its effect and the demands for peace are’ again rampant.
