THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER O. 1918- HUSSAREK AUSTRIAN PREMIER RESIGNS Successor May Be Lammasch, One of Emperor's Leading Advocates of Peace. POLITICAL CRISIS EXISTS Dual Monarchy's Xaval Forces Are Greatly Weakened; Modern Bat tleships Now Number but Two. lrf)ss of Durazzo Severe. LONDON, Oct. 5. Baron von Hus earek. the Austrian Prime Minister, has resigned, according to a dispatch from Zurich, Switzerland, to the Exchange Telegraph Company. Reports from Swiss and German newspapers indicate that a gre.it po litical disturbance is going on in Austria-Hungary. It is said that Von Hussarek's succes sor is likely to be Heinrich Lammasch, who is one of Austria's foremost peace advocates. According to the Vossiche Zeitung's Vienna correspondent, the Uerman parties in the Reichstag are sending letters to the emperor to urge federal ization with self-determination for the German races in Austria, The correspondent adds that Count Czernin and representatives of the con stitution parties in the upper house also are going to urge the emperor to adopt a similar course. Andrassy Retimes to Serve. The Buda Pest corresponder.t of the Vossische Zeitung reports that Premier Wokerle has requested Count Julius Andrassy to enter his cabinet with Count Albert Apponyl and Count Stephen Tlsza. Count Andrassy, how ever, will consent to enter a coalition cabinet only on condition that Count Tisza be excluded and he wishes the participation of the Karolyl party and the Social Democrats. No common platform yet exists and it seems there is much opposition to a coalition government. AuBtrHungary has at the most only two modern battleships left. She has ust a large number of small craft and now Durazzo, the advanced base of her depleted fleet, has been rendered useless, writes the British naval ex pert, Achibaid Hurd, in the Daily Telegraph. Continuing, he says: "-Durazzo, practically dominating all one side of the Adriatic, was to the Austrians what Zeebrugge was once to the Germane. "No effort had been spared to make it an impregnable port which would be valuable to the Austrians as a base of military forces of the Quadruple Alliance in Albania and in addition be a pistol aimed at the allies. "In this scheme of attc:k provision had been made by the entente naval forces for the co-operation of the Amer ican submarine chasers, of which sev eral have been working in the Medi terranean. "It was an Irony of fate that whereas the Germans boasted of the damage their submarines would do to the Americans, it was the submarine chas ers of our friends which traveled about 4000 miles to deal with the Uerman partner at hia very gateway." BERNE. Switzerland. Oct. 6. Baron Burian. the Austro-Hunfirarian Foreign Minister, has declared to the deputies of the German Nationalist grouD that internal conditions of Austria demand a revision of the constitution, according to the Nouvelle Preese Libre. The fundamental terms of the revised constitution, he declared, should be an agreement between the Various Aus trian nationalities. Thus far. the newspaper adds, the Czechs and Jueo-Slavs have refused to collaborate in the proposal to revise the constitution. f A I'. IS. Oct. 5. (Havas). Threats by Austria that allied aviators dropping or carrying proclamations would be punished with death have brought a threat of reprisals from the French government. France Promise Reprisals. The Austro-Hungarian government has been informed that if French avia tors are executed the French authori ties will retaliate by inflicting the t-ame penalty in double proportion upon Austrian officers who are prisoners. YANKS MAKENEW GAINS (Continued From First Page.) a mile and several villages have been taken. Advance Is Brilliant. The forward sweep of the Ameri cans is progressing brilliantly, accord ing to advices received by La Liberte this afternoon. The American forces are in contact with the last defenses of the Brunhilde line represented by the woods between Brieulles and the Meuse. The enemy is reported to have re moved the long-distance guns that were protecting the railway junction of Vouzieres. six miles north of Mon thois. A M r, R T C A X HEADQiJARTKRS NORTHWEST OF VERDUN. Oct. 4. (Reuter'a.) The fighting today, when the Americans resumed their advance, differed noticeably from that of last Thursday. The stiffening in the Ger man defense was unmistakable. The whole front now is adequately defended by artillery, every sector having its own admirably devised protectiou. Clouds Hinder Observation. The night preceding the attack was dark but absolutely clear until near dawn. It then clouded over densely, making observation difficult during the entire day through the ground haze on the low levels and the ceiling of gray clouds. The town of Gesnes, northeast of Exermont, changed hands more than onca before the enemy was persuaded to yield it. Even then his artillery pre vented any effective hold being taken upon the place until the American line, still further east, was able to bring a crossfire to bear. Advance Is Delayed. It was here, in front of Romagne. that the enemy's supremo resistance was expected and was felt, since Romagne Is the pivot of his main line of defenses. In the open ground in this sector between two masses of woodland the advance was held up for a considerable time, despite the suc cess achieved further east. Against a harassing artillery fire from the heights east of the Meuse the entire American front made a no ticeable advance, despite the desperate efforts of the enemy to delay them. The air force backed up the infantry in a daring fashion. Although com pelled to keep near the ground, the .airmen were unremitting in attempts to bomb transport and attack infantry on the roads. In consequence of Ger man anti-aircraft fire they paid for their daring in a large numDer of casualties. The air was the scene of most spectacular combats, all fought at a height of less than 0000 feet. PARIS, Oct. 5. Under the pressure of French and American attacks in Champagne, the Germans have retired on their left flank and given up ter ritory, the war office reported today. West of the Suippe the French, keep ing in touch with the German rear guards, have reached the heights south east of Moronvillicrs. French and American troops gained further ground north of Blanc :Iont in the direction of the River Ames. Alonff the Alsne Canal, in the region of Rheims. the French are pressing the Germans vigorously, and have crossed the canal at several points. The French have reached the outskirts of Bermeri court, east of the canal. Violent fighting continues north of St. Quentin. In desperate fighting the French have driven the enemy from the heights southeast of Chardon-Vert. The Frencn nave maintained their gains in heavy fighting east of the Argonne TVrest. Northwest of Kheims In the last five days the French have taken more than 2500 prisoners and 31 guns. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VBRDUM, Friday, Oct. 4. (By the Associated Press). The late hours of today's fighting ac companying the American advance wit nessed a notable increase in the heavi ness of the German artillery fire and the activity of the German aviators. The ferocity of the fighting as the hours progressed indicated the desper ate earnestness of the enemy. Trees Felled to Bar 'Way. As one means of holding up the Amer ican push the Germans had cut down trees in the Argonne and interlaced wire among these obstacles. Behind the barricades thus formed the enemy ma chine guns contested the advance. The effect of the American artillery bombardment is known to have been considerable. It left one battalion of the enemy with only two machine guns. IC also has been learned that two of the seven guards divisions of this front have been badly cut up since September 26. One battalion had only 150 men left. One of the guard divisions has been taken out of the fighting al together, while another has had its ranks filled in with landwehr. The American troops engaged in to day's attack were well looked after by the American commissariat. The men in the front trenches in the early morn ing shivered under the penetration ot the chill in the misty air but the direct ing force of the rapidly growing Ameri can fighting machine had not forgotten the conditions likely to prevail and al most every man had been supplied with warm clothing. To the great majority of the men sleeveless leather coats had been issued, while trucks moving from the rear bore ton upon ton of over coats. Food Rushed Ip to Boys. Moving over every road were the commissary trucks and movable kitch ens. The earlier lessons had been well learned and the men in the trenches and the field were not going hungry. Comparatively few of them had occasion to resort to their "iron rations." They were served with hot coffee and some sort of substantial cooked foods. These were supplemented by wagon loads of chocolate of the sort that comes In little rectangular cakes wrapped in paper. The routes of the Americans, both In the trenches and the fields over which they passed were marked by the small wrappers the men had thrown away. , LAKE CITY SUNK, 30 SAILORS PERISH U. S.

"LONDON, Oct. 5. Of the more than l.SOO.000 American soldiers transported to Europe to the end of September, nearly 1,060.000 were carried In British or British-controlled ships. American vessels carried 786.000 and the re mainder were brought across the At lantic on French and Italian ships. To insure the safety of this enormous force has entailed a tremendous amount of work for the allied fleeu The Brit ish navy has done TO per cent of the convoying, the American fleet 27 per cent and the French i per .:nt. During September 311,219 American troops, 4000 United States bluejackets and 6000 Canadian troops 'ere brought across the Atlantic American vessels brought 121,547, or 39 per cent of the total of American troops. British ar.d British-controlled ships -..-ore responsi ble for 57 per cent or 175,721, while French vessels transported 13,951, or 4 per cent of the total. O: the 311.219 American troops reaching Kurope In September, 153,246 landed In France. The remainder came to England. July waa a big month with 317,000 arrivals, but September runs it a close second and actually overtops it when the Canadians and the American blue Jackets are taken into . -.ount. The largest single convoy reaching France from the United States last month num bered J1.10S, and the largest Septembc convoy reaching British shores num bered 28.S73. The figures hslp to emphasise what Is being realised more fully here and doubtlessly In Germany also the enor mous contribution America Is making to the common caue .f the allies.
