AUSTRIA. Nov. "4 (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Declaring that there la
pressing need in Austria for assistance
from America and the" allies, former
Kmperor Changs of Austria-Hungary
Insisted today tnat tho danger of Bol
shevism is very great in liis country
Jt was in conversation with a corre
spondent of the Asaociated Press that
the former sovereign told of the peril
impending.
The former Kmperor. his wife and
five children, are at Eckertsau Castle.
With them are a few faithful men and
women, including Count Alexander Ks
terhasy. former chief of court to the
Kmperor, and Naval Captain Seedank.
Kx-Kmprror Appear Wor.
As the correspondent entered the
gates he was met by Captain Seedank
and conducted through a lofty hall to
the second story of the castle, where
he was received by the former Em
tio ror. Charles wore a General's uni
form and was apparently vigorous, but
lines ubout his blue eyes gave hints of
the stress of recent days. He appeared
to fetl keenly the great tragedy that
lias cme through the collapse of hie
cmnire. but he cordially greeted the
correspondent.
The former Emperor spoke first in
English and then lapsed into French.
Aid Iron Allies t'rgeat.
T. authorize the Associated Press to
say that not a single day should be lost
by America and the allies in helping
the people here, to grave is the situa
tion." he said. "During the war one
of my preoccupations was the task of
obtaining food for the soldiers and peo
ple, but now, notwithstanding all my
efforts, it is most distressing to find
there is none left for them. If America
and the allies do not recognize this
fact, suffering here will be very great
within a few weeks. Indeed, it is al
ready so and every day we do not use
In the endeavor to get food is a day
lost.
"We have done our best and more
cannot be done. If food and coal are
not brought, we shall have disorder in
Vienna. Possibly that disorder from
Ilusski which we call Bolshevism.
Looking back, we may recall that Bol
shevism started in Russia because of
the lack of food. I think it In the in
terest of the allies to aid us. as Bol
shevism, when started, may spread and
become a danger to the allies, too.
Charles Thinks of Fstsre.
"Regarding the future I cannot
speak of the past I can only repeat
that I feel J did my duty However,
I do hope that peace will bring good
fortune, happier days and a better un
derstanding among all peoples."
During the interview the fo.irer
monarch did not show bitterness
. toward the allies or America because
1 of their military victory, though it may
be inferred that he is heartsore over
the loss of his army and also over his
failure to preserve his empire intact.
He feels that the breaking up of the
empire Into email groups of nations is
bound to bring economic and political
disaster to all and that some sort of
central government is necessary for
their common Interests.
Charles inquired If President Wilson
was well. He expressed no surprise
when told that the President's hair has
grown whiter since the United States
entered the war, seeming, himself, to
feel the undermining strain of the
great conflict.

Order Surprise to All.
Several theories have been advanced
to account for the drastic order which
startled the entire community. Prom
ises had been made by officials of .the
Shipping Board and Kmergency Fleet
Corporation that there would be no
cancellation of contracts and that the
yards.would be permitted to run until
the last of 1919. It was also unoffi
cially understood that should the pro
gramme be curtailed, contracts might
be withdrawn from Eastern and Gulf
yards, but not in the West.

who returned yesterday from the East,

In refusal on the part of the manufac
turers.
Work on Ships Started.
At the Klernan & Kern yard it is
said a vast amount of preliminary
work had been done, with material cut
for half the frames of the first vessel
and considerable other timber on hand.
Owing to the insistence of the Fleet
Corporation that the four ships, which
were or the 4500-ton composite type
designed by Fred A. Ballin, of this city.
be approved by Lloyds, actual con
struction had been delayed. The ap
proval was obtained two weeks ago on
the return from the Orient of James
French, of New York, principal sur
veyor for Lloyd's in the United States,
and the first keel was in place when
the cancellation order was received.
At the Coast yard It was said tim
ber had been cut for one ship and in
part for another, while fittings and
equipment had been contracted for.
Other builders reported similar progress
nurses in the Bolshevik hospital at
Samara. Many innocent persons were
included.
The American Red Cross is taking
care of 600 of the survivors in an
improvised hospital. The Russian au
thorities, co-operating with the 'Amer
icans, are looking after 30 typhus cases
and 100 other sick who have been
lodged in the Russian barracks.

to discuss the situation and action may
be decided on then regarding future
steps. In the opinion of some the wil
lingness of the Fleet Corporation to
permit builders to take on contracts
for Americans, which are to be limited
to the amount of tonnage withdrawn
through cancellation, may mean that
the programme is only temporarily in
terrupted.
In any event the sudden termination
of preparations for more vessels, leav
ing the builders to complete only such
as are on the ways, is admittedly most
serious. The number of shipworkers
to be thrown out of employment in the
next few months, added to those al
ready idle and soon to be discharged
by the shut-down of spruce production
and allied lines. Is causing apprehen
sion. It is the hope of builders to con
tinue in business, but their ability to
do that hinges on the availability of
contracts.
VLADIVOSTOK, Nov. 22. (By the
Associated Press.) General Semenoff,
who has been the anti-Bolshevik leader
in the trans-Baikal region, has inter
rupted wire communication between
Omsk, the seat of the all-Russian gov
ernment, and Vladivostok. He asserts
his jurisdiction over the Amurusuli

Lumbermen May Xow Accept Com

Lumbermen of the Northwest, from
today forth, may accept commercial
business at their pleasure. Govern
ment control of the mills was nomi
nally relinquished last night in accord
ance with a message received from
Washington during the day by H. B.
Van Duzer, chairman of the fir pro
duction board.
While it is taken for granted that
the fir production board will go out
of existence before long, Mr. Van
Duzer called attention to the fact that
maximum lumber prices, recently pro
mulgated to remain in effect until Jan
uary 15, 1919, are still effective and that
the priorities bulletin has not been an
nulled. The latter still gives the Gov
ernment any preference it or its de
partments may wish to exercise in ob
taining materials.
