10 AIICTD1A KMC MJOimniLLVi) ARMY PEOPLE IN RIOTS FOR FOOD Reserve Supplies Too Small to Last Till Harvest; Financial Situation Admittedly Is Hopeless. (Special Cable to The Bee.) Paris, Jan. IS. Despite the vic tories in Italy, the demands for peace grow constantly in Austria-Hungary, says the Journal Des Debates of 1'wis, which has received reliable news from Vienna. This is due to the food situation in the dual mon archy, where, according to General Hoefcr, the food director, reserve ,tocks will vanish a month before the next harvest. The grain crop in 191 was good in quality, but far below the normal in nuantity, owing to the lack of fertilizers and insufficiency of labor. Russian prisoners have been doing most of the farm work in Austria, and exchange of prisoners with Rus sia in the event of a peace being ar ranged is not looked upon as an un mixed blessing. Many of the re turned prisoners would be sent again ,;o the front, while it is feared that all would be imbued with Russian revolutionary ideas that would be very dangerous to the country. Serious Riots in Bohemia. Serious food rioting has occurred in Bohemia, where in some districts stores and warehouses have been sacked, while the railroad, hive been destroyed, so that troops could not he sent to quell the rioters. Both in Prague and Vienna flour has been from $4 to $7.50 a kilo. And coffee $20 a kilo. In Prague parties are or ganized to hunt for potatoes as they were organized jn pre-war days for came shooting. These conditions have compelled the government to follow the Ger man plan of feeding the army well at the expense of the civil population. Thus, soldiers go to the front sing ing, for they know they will have enough to eat. But when they come back to the hospitals wounded or sick they are in for a bad time again, and there are many more deaths in the hospitals from lack of nourishment than as a result of wounds. -- Financial Outlook Hopeless,, This scheme works all right in Aus tralia, but not in Hungary, for there the people refuse to give up their food stocks, and when the government tries to seize them there is noting. Crotia is comparatively well pro visioned and there it is only by whole sale massacres that the movement can gain any control., t , . The financial situation is said to be hopeless, a member of the Austrian House of Rothchild is reported to have said: ' , "Austria can only save its life by sacrificing its political existance. When peace is made, it must make political concessions n cha"ge for a foreign loan to cover its $16,000,000, 000 of treasury bonds. It s its only hope." Predict Close Vote in, .

Every available man was em ployed in-the moving of snow and very good progress made yesterday and last night.
