AUSTRIA SWEPT BY
PEACE MATIN
German Appeals Are Frantic
as Parties' Split Menace.
Central Alliance. ,
BULGARIA ALSO ON EDGE
Slav Is Gaining TTpper Hand and
New Overtures Are Expected If
Parliament Meets; Emperor
Hopes to Save Nation.
BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER.
LOXDOX, April 22. (Special.) De
velopments In Austria have taken so
sensational a turn that real peace over
tures are expected In several well-Informed
circles. This week may see
startling developments.
The amazing spilt In the two Aus
trian parties simply confirms the state
ments made several times recently In
these dispatches that the peace party
Is rapidly graining the upper hand and
that Emperor Charles, naturally sym
pathizing with the opponents of the
policy to establish a Germanized Cen
tral Europe, is gradually throwing off
the shackles by which the Kaiser and
his followers have bound him.
All activity on the Austrian fronts
has practically ceased.
Conference Is Significant.
The conference of Premiers Lloyd
George and Ribot with Signor Salan
dra, the Italian Premier, Is highly sig
nificant. The suggestion that it has. to
do with the political rather than pure
ly military questions is borne out by
the personal nature of the conference.
Not a single military leader attended.
The censorship in Germany and Aus
tria prevents the facts from becoming
known, but enough has been learned to
state positively that the central em
pires are in the midst of the greatest
crisis of the whole war.
Not only the Austrians, but the Bul
garians as well, are breaking away
from the Prussian yoke.
Dissension and dissatisfaction are
rending the quadruple alliance and any
thing Is possible in the near future.
To say that the Germans are alarmed
Is putting it mildly. Frantic appeals,
bitter threats and agitated comments
appear in the German press. The Aus
trian Premier is accused of betraying
the Germans of Austria. The Innsbruck
"Naohrichten" wails that It means "the
end of the dream of German predom
inance in Austria."
Meanwhile Emperor Charles reiter
ates his determination to reassemble
the Austrian Chamber for the first time
since war was declared.
Tenton and Slav In Clash.
The resignation of Baernreither and
Dr. Urban from the Austrian Ministry
shows how bitterly the German ele
ments in Austria opposed the reassem
bling of Parliament.
There is a rare struggle on between
the Teuton and the Slav, with the lat
ter rapidly gaining the ascendenecy of
power. There is no question as to what
the Slav majority will decide to do,
once Parliament meets.
Throughout the events leading up to
the crisis the young Emperor has shown
himself, a man of considerable charac
ter, restive under German domination
and anxious to get his empire out of
war before It has been totally ruined.
His "ramshackle empire" at best
could expect nothing from a victory of
the central powers, and, if defeated
he seems to appreciate fully that this
Is Inevitable it will collapse com
pletely. Only Count Tlsza, of all his council
lors, has any direct responsibility for
initiating the war, and Tisza is re
ported to have resigned.
One rumor says that the Vatican
has been Informed of Austria's terms
and that these terms were transmitted
to the Italian government, prompting
the latest conference of the three Pre
miers. Whether this Is true or not, the
attention of the world should be fo
cused on Austria during the coming
week.

Cargo Ships to Be Needed.
Under the head of shipping will afise
such questions as the use of the seized
German and Austrian ships; the diver
sion of lake and coastwise craft to the
trans-Atlantic trade; the use of Amer
ican naval vessels, such as colliers and
the like, for the transportation of sup
plies; the speedy construction of cargo
boats and In general the co-ordination
of shipping and the merchant ship
building Industry of the allied nations
in order to draw the teeth of the sub
marine menace.
The German and Austrian ships are
now being repaired as rapidly as pos
sible. There will be a conference here
tomorrow between the advisory com
mittee of the council of National de
fense and representatives of the Great
Lakes and coastwise shipping com
panies.
The department has a list of colliers
and other vessels which can be used for
cargo carrying purposes. General
Goethals has created the organization
of the United States Shipping Company
and this week will begin construction.
There remains to be discussed the
question of co-ordination of shipping
-of the two countries. This Is a vast
subject requiring careful planning and
able executive management. Great
Britain, with an eye to the future,
doubtless will seek to save as many of
her steel ships as possible. The United
States wants to have ships after the
war as well as during the war. There
fore, as few wooden boats will bo con
structed as possible.
Again, there must be decided such
questions as the routes to be followed
by the ihips engaged in the trade and
their protection while crossing the
ocean. This may mean the establish
ment of sea lanes adequately patroled
or even the convoy of valuable cargoes.
American expert opinion Is against the
"nvor.
With reference to naval co-operation
already a division of American destroy
ers Is taking part in the bunt for
submarines. In addition, American
cruisers and other vessels are sweep
ing the seas in search of German raid
ers. Great Britain holds that the
United States does not need to construct
dreadnoughts and battle cruisers; that
from now on the British navy will con
stitute the sea defense of the American
Nation.
What the British naval advisers ad
vise Is that the United States shall pro
ceed with the rapid construction of de
stroyers, the real enemies of the sub
marine. Secretary Daniels is consider
ing the idea of stopping dreadnought
and battle-cruiser construction and
Put It Over
have been placed use their resources
and entire forces in destroyer construc
tion. Probably this will be done.
As to the battleship fleet of the
United States it will not be necessary
to dispatch it to Europe unless an
overwhelming disaster should be suf
fered by the British Navy.
Radical Changes Proposed.
The British naval plan involves a
radical change in the policy of the
United States. The theory upon which
the American fleet has been built has
been based upon the need of (a) Pro
tecting the United States and its de
pendencies; (b) protecting the Panama
canal; (c) enforcing the Monroe Doc
trine; (d) asserting the rights of
American citizens throughout the
world; (e) maintaining the Interests
of the United states, and (f) morally
supporting the Hay principles of open
door and the integrity of China.
The German fleet has greatly ex
panded as a result of the war. and is
now far superior In tonnage to that
of the United States. The Japanese
have laid down a programme of con
struction which manifestly is aimed as
assertion of Japanese rights and ambi
tions even in the case they come in
conflict with this country's interests.
Valne of British Aid Is Question.
If tnis Government ceases dread
nought and battle cruiser construction,
will not the German and Japanese
fleets at the end of the war be enor
mously superior to the American fleet?
In view of these circumstances, what
reliance can be placed in the future of
the British navy?
Intimately allied with the questions
of shipping and naval co-operation is
that of food and munitions supply. This
country must be the granary for the
allies.
The easiest part of the financial
question, tnat of passing the bill au
thorizing the loan of $3,000,000,000 to
the allies, will be done tomorrow.
Now arises the question of distribu
tion. Great Britain does not need
money, but the public knowledge that
the United States is behind British se
curities will help the market value of
those securities. France must have
funds. So must Italy, and, above all,
Russia.

SPOKANE. April 22. (Special.)
Eleven prominent business and pro
fessional men of Spokane, whose ag
gregate wealth will exceed $5,000,000,
have banded together personally to
operate a truck garden in the heart of
the city.
They have obtained a lot worth $20,
000, surrounded by high buildings, and
under tne direction or L. M. Davenport,
hotel man, will plant the tract, 50x108
feet, with 37 varieties of vegetables.
The wealthy gardeners Include R. D.

BT JOHN C ALLAN O'LAUGHLIN.
WASHINGTON, April 22. (Special.)
Under the legislation which Congress
will enact, men will be drafted into
the military service by means of the
jury wheel. V.
Announcement to this effect was
made to the House military committee
by Secretary of War Baker. He ex
plained that the plan determined upon
was to put into the wheel the names
of all militarily available young men
between the ages of 19 and 25 and
make selections according to chance.
Just as juries are selected.
In calling the men to-the colors the
War Upnar)mnt will ant thfitin-H tho
having the firms with which contracts state authorities. "Ninety per cent of
the Governors of states," said Mr. Ba
ker, "have notified me of their zealous
desire to place not only themselves,
but all state agencies in immediate co
operation with the Government to ac
complish the purpose outlined in this
bill. Curiously enough. In most states
there are statutes which authorize Gov
ernors to call upon Assessors and per
sons of that kind to make enumera
tions for military purposes."
Early Reariatratlon Expected.
It is the expectation of the War De
partment that the registration of all
men within the age limits will be made
within three months. Then will come
the question of exemptions on account
of physical disability, marriage or in
dustrial need.
For example, the Secretary of War
intends to observe the greatest care in
preventing too great a dislocation of
the Industries of the country. He
wants to keep the maximum number of
men available for farming, and he feels
there must not be any disturbance
of industries which furnish military
supplies to the Government. In order
that men so engaged may not suffer
the reproach of failure to responde to
the Government's call, they will be fur
nished with buttons which will inform
the world that they are a part of the
great service army which President
Wilson has declared Js essential to
victory as the men on the firing line.
Vast Supplies Needed.
Three billion dollars is to be spent in
the organization of the force which
will be called to the colors. Secretary
Baker has been doing everything with
in his power and without his power to
obtain the quantity of supplies which
will be required for the use of the vast
Army to be raised.
"When the appropriation bill failed
of action in the Senate at the last ses
sion," he said, "I instructed the Quartermaster-General
to proceed as though
it had passed; to get in touch with the
manufacturers and supply houses who
supplied the things we need and to
assure them tha there would be pro
vision made for payment and that they
should go on with their manufacture
and be ready to deliver. I am afraid
I probably ought to confess to you very
frankly that I may have broken a
good many laws between the time you
were last In session, but I have en
deavored to accumulate in manufactur
ing establishments and in storehouses
as large quantities of supplies as could
be accumulated. We will have enough
supplies and equipment of all kinds,
except, of course, heavy ordnance and
things of that -sort, which require a
long time in the making for 600,000
men, by the first of July, and we will
have adequate supplies of all kinds, ex
cept, of course, these long-time con
suming constructions' of heavy ord
nance and things of that kind, for
1,000,000 men inside of eight months."

Removal of Barrier to Spread of Chris
tianity In East Is Predicted
By Pastor.
Soon, according to Rev. H. F. Given,
pastor of the First United Presbyter
ian Church, Jerusalem will be In the
hands of the British. "One great blessing-of
this war," za.l& Rev. Mr. Given,
In his lecture last night on "The De
cline and End of the Turkish Empire,"
"will be the destruction of the Turk
ish empire. This seems assured.
"When it does come to pass, and the
end seems near, the fall of the Turk
ish empire will remove a great barrier
to the spread of Christianity In the
East.
"The world's knowledge and espe
cially Christian scholarship will be
greatly enhanced when Jerusalem, the
ruins of Babylon, Nineveh and many
other sacred places, will be open to
examination by scholars."
Rev. Mr. Given reflected on the his
tory and pristine glory of the Turkish
empire and said In part: "The Turks
captured Constantinople In 1453 and
by the close of the fifteenth century
were the greatest power on earth. Their
domain then included Persia on the
east, Arabia, Asia Minor, Egypt and
all of Northern Africa and almost to
the walls of Vienna in Europe.
"The decline of the Turkish empire
began with th defeat of the great
Turkish fleet by a Venetian and Ital
ian fleet at the battle of Teponto, in
1571. In 1605. Persia won her inde
pendence. In 16S3, the Turks besieged
Vienna and seemed about to take the
city when on September 12 Prince John
Sobieski, the Polish general, inflicted
upon them a defeat which ended their
aggressions westward.
"In 1829 Greece, under Marcg Boz
zaris. drove out the Turks. In l$o6 Ru.
mania and-Montenegro, and in 1878
Bulgaria, were all delivered. In 1883,
Egypt passed under British control and
in 1S98 Crete was freed by the powers.
"In 1912, Italy wrested Tripoli and
Cyrenaica from the Sultan and the
same year saw the united attack of the
Balkan powers nearly drive the Turk
out of Europe.
"Russia and Britain are now driv
ing the Turk before them In the far
East. Gaza, in the Mediterranean, has
recently been taken by the British, and
Jerusalem must soon fall."

grams statin? that the United States

HERMINE SHONE IS STAR
'Somewhat Differents" Have Offer
ing Tliat Is Unusual and Gifted
With Personality Sketch
lias Interesting. Dialogue.
BY LEOXE CASS BAER.
Hermine Shone Is Incorrect. Like
Thomas Dunn .English It is bad Eng
lish. It should be Thomas Did English
and in the case of the fascinating
Orpheum headllner it should be Her
mine Shines. For she does shine and
twinkle and radiate a whole orbltful
in herself. -
Hermine puts in the keenest sort of
an allegory with lines that even those
of us least Initiated into the ways ana
means of allegories can readily grasp.
You remember "Everywoman and a
few kindred plays were completely lost
on a few intellects. xney were over
our heads, as it were. But Hermine
Rhone's act Is an on-the-level one.
Every girl has lived some part of it
or hi. of it.
"Mary Ann" is its name and It Is a
delightful series of animated scenes
showing the seven stages in one.
Poetry and Realty Contrasted.
Mary Ann's life.
Two figures Poetry and Reality go
side by side with us and Mary Ann
In the story telling. Poetry imbuing
all the incidents with romance and
radiance, and Reality analyzing and
picking out holes in the weaving. First
we see the baby Mary Ann, then Miss
Shone appears as a captivating and In
genious lass of seven. J. nen we near
her deliver a remarkable graduation
essay at 16, and at 18 she appears in '
a charming garden scene with a young 1
lad a-wooing. Delightful comedy per
vades it all, and rises to rare heights
in the next scene, the wedding of
Mary Ann.
The final scene Is-beautirui ana ara
matic and Mary Ann makes a touch
ing appeal with her womanly words
and pretty picture as the mother of
a new. little Mary Ann. Miss Shone Is
versatile and has a ' personal charm
that pervades all she offers.
Lewis Calhern as Poetry, Thomas
Morrison as Reality and Glen Anders
as the "hero" of Mary Ann's seven
chapters are all individually good. The
scenic investiture is worth a column
of praise.
Horace YFright and Rene Dietrich,
billed as the "somewhat differents,"
are about the superlative degree of
"somewhat differents" I've seen In a
mess of moons. Rene is adorably fem
inine, good looking, dainty like Dres
den china, and has one of those sweet,
high, fluty voices.
Horace is gifted, too, with personal
ity, a gay laugh that catches and a
rare, pleasing tenor voice. Together,
and singly, they sing and flirt with
each other outrageously. Rene plays
the piano and puts a new value on
"Mammy's Little Coal Black Rose."
They feature a fascinating Hawaiian
specialty, flavored with ukeleles and
register as a riot. Their act Is all tied
up with a marvelous curtain, with
Hawaiian, fish painted on it. Miss
Dietrich designed the curtain and com
posed the Hawaiian specialty with
equal success.
So you can guess she's mighty tal
ented. Herbert Ashley and Jack Allman pre
sent an Interesting sketchlet called,
"The Dawn of a New Day." An Irish
near-pessimist meets an Hebraic opti
mist on a park bench, and their stories
are related with an O'Henryesque
punch. '
Pathos and comedy Intermingle and
songs trip in between. One Irish mel
ody, and one about Mr. Finklestein
draw enthusiastic applause.
"Motoring" la Comedy Satire.
"Motoring," seen here before, is a
satire via English comedy on the auto
mobile craze. Harry Tate presents it,
with a half dozen comedians to fill in
with more fun. An auto stalls by the
roadside, and that's where the comedy
starts and stays.
Ethel MacDonough, the Boston Girl,
Is not at all like the maids In that vil
lage are reputed to be. She sings and
dances and cuts up considerably.
An oddity in music and the dance Is
presented by Olivette, Moffett and
Clare. - A pretty maid and a man dance
madly and merrily, the while a cheery
chap makes sweet melodies on the old
banjo. Billy Kinkaid. in kilties and
comedy, opens the bill with an unique
Juggling-acrobatic and musical act.
Last, but by no means least, are the
girl ushers, a pretty band of well
trained young girls, who go about their

PEACE LEAGUE EXPLAINED
Hamilton Holt Discusses Psycholog
ical Feature.
"The trouble with the peace move
ments and pacifist movements thus far
has been that they were 'anti-war,' "
said Hamilton Holt, editor of the Inde
pendent, speaking on the League to
Enforce Peace at the Unitarian Church,
last night. "A movement that is anti
anything is not apt to be successful.
"The important thing - about the
League to Ehforce Peace, as distin-
I guished from the previous peace move
i ments. is that it is not 'anti-war,' but
it Is 'pro-law.' It gives a positive ac
cent, instead or a negative.
Mr. Holt outlined the history and
principles of the league.
