Reports of crave riota In Vienna have resulted In an unprecedented shrinkage of the value of the Austrian crown on the Dutch bourse, said an Amsterdam dispatch to the Express today. Dutch - bankers also have reports of serious trouble brewing between Vienna and Berlin, as Austria wishes an Im mediate statement of peace terms as the only step conducive to negotiations. , Germany Is now under the thumb of Von Hindenburg, who wishes to await the result of the western offensive, in hope of forcing harsher terms, it was stated. It Is now understood that the recent visit of Baron Burian, the Austrian for . sign minister, to Berlin was mostly de voted to the peace alms problem. The Vhortneu of the trip indicated that he found the Germans obedient to Hinden burg's voice. The political crisis In the dual mon archy continues. The Polish party, having a majority, Is said to have com pelled Premier von Seydler to hand in ! his resignation again. If the emperor . does not accept It, the Austrian govern ment will have to refrain from assem bling parliament. The position of the government Is seriously menaced, as It Is difficult toilnd a new premier sanc tioned by Germany. The crown is the standard gold coin of Austria and, before the war, was valued at about 20 cents In ' United States .money.
