tance from America and the allies,
former Emperor Charles of Austria
Hungary Insisted today that the dan
Eer of Bolshevism is very great In
his country. It was in conversation
with a correspondent of the Associ
ated Press that the former sovereign
if.lfl nf tha nerll which is Impending
The former emperor, his wife ahi
five children, are at Eckertsau castle
AVith them are a few faithful men
and women, including Count Alexan
der Esterhasy, former thief of court
to the emperor and Naval Captain
Seedank. .
As the correspondent entered the
gates lie was met by Captain See
dank and conducted thru a lofty hall
to the second story of the castle,
where he was received by the former
emperor. Charles wore a general's
uniform and was apparently vigor
ous, but lines about his blue eyes
gave hints of the stress of recent
days. He appeared to feel keenly
that great tragedy that has .come
thru the collapse of his empire, but
ho cordially greeted the correspon
dent.
The former emperor spoke first
in English and then lapsed into
French.
Delay Dangerous
"I authorize the Associated Press
to sav that not a single dny should
be lost by America and tho allies in
helping the people here, so grave is
the situation," he said. "During tho
war one of my preoccupations was
the task of obtaining food for the
soldiers and the people, but now,
notwithstanding all my efforts, it Is
most distressing to find there is nolle
left for them. If America and the
allies do not recognize this fact, suf
fering here will be very great within
a few weeks. Indeed, it is already
so and every do 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 Russia which we call Bolshev
ism. Looking back, we may recall
that Bolshevism started in Russia
because of lack of food. I think It In
the Interest of the allies to aid us,
as Bolshevism, when started, may
spread and become a danger to the
allies too.
Says Ho Did His Duty
"Rcgardh.sr the future I cannot
speak of the past 1 can only repeat
that I feel I did my duty. However
I do hope that peace will bring good
fortune, happier days and a better
understanding among all peoples."
"During the Interview, the for
mer monarch did not show bitter
ness toward the allies or America be
cause of their military victory, tho
It may be Inferred that he is heart
sore 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 small
groups is bound to bring economical
and political disaster to all, and that
some sort of central government is
necessary for their common inter
ests. Ho inquired if President Wilson
was well. He expressed no surprise
when told that the president's hair
has grown whiter since tho I'nlted
States entered the war, seeming,
himself, to feel the undermining
strain of the great conflict.

LONDON. Nov. 2.". Tliis morn
ing's London newspapers display
nroiniiicntlv the German ndvices rc-
mirdimr flic agreement between the
oldiers' and workmen s council and
the government, which is regarded as
develonmct of the greatest import
ance and as tantamount to the over
throw of t lie L'bort-llnase combina
tion and the adoption at least theo
retically of the existing liussian system.
It is admitted that the German
councils have not vet developed the
extravagances which led to the dis
integration and anarchv in Russia,
the councils not being domiatcd bv
the Ilulslieviki eleinct.
The Dailv Mail while pointing out
tho analogy to the developments in
Russia, suggests that the new step is
a part of a "big bluff" aimed at per
suading die allies that the old Ger
many is defunct.
The Dailv Express also thinks the
menneeis possibly exaggerated for
the purpose of impressing t he nllies
with the difficulties of the position.

BERLIN, Nov. 2.i. ( By. Associat
ed Press.) - Dr. Carl I.ieiiKnecht, the
radical socialist leader. Is devoting
himself primarily to an effort to In
fluence the men returning from the
front. His henchmen comprise a
small army of red soldiers who are
accused of packing meetings to push
thru measures to emliurrass the gov
ernment. Dr. Liebknecht's agitation Is the
official propaganda of the Spartncus
group of extreme radicals. He chief
ly directs his attacks at the proposed
national assembly. The Indications,
however, are that his effort to win
over the (returning soldiers has fail
ed. Yesterday's meeting was mark
ed by violent opposition of soldiers.
The radical leader's principal ap
peal is to the proletaries.
Rosa Luxembourg Is ably second
ing llr. Llebknecht. Her orntory Is
of the loquacious and firo-eatlng
lirnnd. Tlie Sparlacus meotlngs are
attended by numerous women.
An attempted robbery recently of
00.000.000 marks belonging to the
treasury of Field (Marshal von Mac
kensen's army Is charged against tho
Spartncus faction. When the car
taking the funds reached tho railway
station here a few days ago it was
taken over by a detachment of red
badged soldiers, notwithstanding
apologies to tho effect that a mis
understanding was responsible for
the attempted seizure the Red Guards
were arrested.
Their arrest occasioned consider
able resentment among the ultra
radicals. They held a meeting which
was addressed by Dr. Llebknecht and
organized for the rescue. A squad
raided police headquarters on Thurs
day night anil succeeded In obtain
ing the relcave of the men Implicated
on the pretext that thoy were held as

when the Tlconderoga went down

the U-boat. Lieut. Muller was taxen
aboard by tho same boat.
Story of tYiilso
They gave me a drink of brandy
and questioned me about American
troops and other things, said Lieut
Fulcher. "I was then taken to the
forepeak where I had to sleep with
not loss than 35 German sailors who
lived In this dungeon. The first bath
I had was when a rain squall hit the
submarine while I wan on dock.
"On the eighth day of my captivity
Germany sent a peace note and on

The Hermans treated me very
well, but I have come to the conclu

he can stand anything."
Lieut. Muller was brought back on

in Kurope and for tho speedv transi
tion to a pence basis. Aetimr on this
order, military authorities have tiiven
notice of cancellation of contracts so
far as possible with a view of di-
minisinir rapidly the inflovvinz stock
of supplies required for an army of
2,000.0110 men. An officer who has
had much to do with this branch of
the service sums up tho situation as
follows:
CunrcuiiiK Oniors
"The American expeditionary force
on November 11 was travelimr nt full
peed ahead and was at tile height of
its supply nctivity. To reverse this
tremendous business machine is the
task upon which it is now cimnired
and the efficiency of its business or
ganization is beimr manifested in its
quick accommodation to entirely
ehnmred circumstances.
"When the Ameircan foroes first
began eominir to France there was a
ureal scarcity of 'ocean tonnage. It
was impossible for many months to
ship more than .100,000 or 4011.000
tons of supplies to the forces, not
withstanding the necessity for engi
neering and geenral coiim- action
equipment. Search for material In
Kurope, therefore, had to be conduct
ed over a wide field.
Ten Million Tons Itotnibt
"The American nnnv established
agencies in nit allied and neutral
countries,
"More than 10.000.000 tons of ma
terial was secured on this side of the
ocean. To have transported this ma
terial from America would have tak
en .100 ships of .".! HI ton capacity
about -1N0 da vs. or 10 months.
"Apart from food supplies the army
has secured the bulk of its material
from Kurope. Notwithstanding the
gjeat emergency the American annv
endeavored to subject itself to all the
hecks and balances of a normal bus
iness organization which were pos-
iblc under the circumstances."
