This problem of providing bread, and flour at prices which tho people can afford hos been made much more. difficult by tho constantly declining value of the crown. In tho latter part of January tho treasury wns paying 260 crowns to a dollar, while in some private trades as high as 310 crowns woro paid for a dollar.' Tho food problem has been mado worse by tho failuro of neighboring countries to live up to agreements and contracts. For months Jugo slavia has had somo 3,000.000 r do5,ar?

The propor-' tton of the agreed upon coal de-' liveries from that country has been I negligible and is regarded as tho principal' factor in Austria's present plight , The disruption of the railway sys tern of the old empire also plays a vital part in present conditions. It was designed as a single system and adapted to the needs of the then existing state. But it has been broken into separate systems In each Austria; "Bohemia and each, is attempting, to operate Its portion as an independent system, while railway experts of-the Allies have ppinted out in vain that nonoe of them can be made efficient under the circumstances. There has' been an unequal distribution of cars and locomotives and while the En tente representatives and commis sioners are struggling with the problem of a fair allocation of roll ing stock and motive power, each country charges the other with di verting Its cars when sent across the borders or using them to the de lay of their return. J"i Frontiers remain drawn with rigid restriction sthrougbout this part of Europe. There are prohibitions of food impot and export, limits to .the amount of money the traveler may take with him out of the countries,' police and passport regulations of appalling strictness, all carried al most to the point 'of absurdity, gall ing personal and baggage examina tions ai every oorder, and every-1. where soldiers and armed men. The foregoing applies to Austria as a country. Vienna's situation Is the same with, relation to the other nrovinces If Jugo-Slnvla and Bo- capital. They too have utterly fail- ed to live up to their agreements of last summer to furnish certain quotas of foodstuffs. They restrict the visits of Viennese within their boundaries, while the peasantry ro- fuses to sell for valueless crowns at official prices and deals through the 6muBSng trade at enormous profit.
