.Vienna, May 11. The death knell
of old Austria was sounded in parlia
ment when Chancellor Renner, in
' accepting the nomination as a peace
r delegate, said he relinquished all
hopes for a fusion with Germany.
His speech was "made while the im
pression caused by the allies' terms
to Germany was still strong.
The address was delivered within
a stone's throw of the foreign office
in Ballplatz, where the machinery of
the war first was set in motion, five
years ago.
.The chancellor will be accompan
ied by Dr. Guertler of the Christian
socialist party, and by Dr. Schoen
bauer of the German nationalist
party. Dr. Seitz, the president of
the republic, was requested -to go,
but declined, in favor of Chancellor
Renner. Herr Landesberger, presi
dent of the Anglo-Austrian bank,
will be one of the financial experti
with the mission.

interruption in , the supply trains
would be fatal. The field marshal
then practically ordered the corn-
Uanders called in council, which
way they should vote. He told them
they should declare that the army
would refuse to be drawn into a
civil war. All the commanders
obeyed and voted as they had been
told. Thus it was that this mo
mentous.decision, the kaiser's be
trayal, was brought about.
Left to Ask Abdication.
"In the ante-room I met General
Von Plessen and General Marschall,
who told me that Hindenburg and
Grosner had left to see the kaiser
and ask him to adbicate at once.
My answer was:
"'You all seem to be stark mad
around here. The army is loyal to
the kaiser.' The two of them took
me along to see the kaiser.
"At the conference with the kaiser
there were present, Field Marshal
Von Hindenburg, General Von Ples
sen, Marschall and Groener, Excel
lency Von Hintze (then minister for
foreign affairs), Herr Von Gruenau,
of the foreign office, Major Nieman
of the supreme army command and
myself. The field marshal told 'the
kaiser he had to ask for his dis
charge from the service as a German
army officer addressing his emperor.
The kaiser replied: 'First let us
see what it is.

Ion talk. He said the army was in
a despeate situation. Germany was

to start the service.
Suddenly there is an interruption.
Wiley and Billie had hot been slain.
Each escaping, they had met on the
trail leading from the Hidden Val
ley, and had fled from the pursuing
Vultures. By exploding an oil well
they had destroyed their pursuers

break out at any minute. The army
in the field had rations only for a
few days, and if the army 'jjas to
feel the pinch of hunger a catastro
phe would be the result. The army,
he claimed, was not to be relied on
any longer. It would be absolutely
impossible to command the army to
turn about face with the enemy's
armies at its back and mar.h three
weeks back into the heart of Ger
many for the purpose of waging a
ciyil war. According to his own and
the .field marshal's opinion, which
was supported by all the chiefs of
the departments as well as b;- the
quartermaster general (Ludendorff)
the general in charge of the commis
sary and the general in charge of the
railroads, the German fatherland's
only salvation would be the immed
iate abdication of the emperor.
"Thereupon the kaiser asked me
to express my opinion. What I
said is about as follows:
" 'The army group commanded by
the crown prince'behaved excellent
ly during those many weeks of
fighting in the fall and always of
fered the toughest kind oi jesistance,
in spite of the almost superhuman
demands made upon their staying
power and nerves. Now 'heir lines
are thinned out, and the men, while
still in the hands of their leaders,
have only one desire, armistice and
rest. After an armistice is once
signed it will be difficult to lead
the army against the enemy.
Needed Rest Badly.
"But after the men have a few
days of rest, after they had had
time to delouse themselves, after
they have slept a decent night's
sleep, when they can be housed in
decent quarters where they have a
chance of cleaning and recuperating,
their leaders will again be able to
control them and their fighting
spirit will return. Of course, you
cannot make the whole array in the
west turn about face at a moment's
command for the purpofe of fight
ing a. civil war in the interior of
Germany.
"The army would not stand for
that, but that is not at all neces
sary. Why do we not engage the
revolutionists in spots? Why do we
hoist the white flag right at the be
ginning, without offering the least
resistance? We should send picked
troops, commanded by picked offi
cers, and supplied with the most
modern of weapons, such as fog,
gas, bombing - squadrons, flame
throwers, etc., to Aachen, Verviers
and Cologne, to begin with, and let
us restore order in those places by
the force of arms. Of course, a pre
requisite, absolutely necessary for
waging such a campaign a the right
kind of a slogan.
Hits at Profiteers.
"I am sure our men will fall for
this slogan if we tell them that the
navy in conjunction with Jewish
war profiteers and stay at homers is
stabbing them in the back and is de
priving the field army of its food
supplies. . This slogan will take, I
am sure it will arouse the men. It
is bound to have a salutary effect on
the whole country when the people
see order restored by the force of
arms in certain places, when they

people will rise as one man, if prop

shame to be inflicted upon a long

short, is no surrender, no abdica

order by force of arms in spots. In
this task the army will loyally sup

Columbia Records Have
Brand New Stunt This Month
Columbia ' records have a new
stunt this month "Chong," a Chi
nese rag, sung by Irving Kaufman,
accompanied by an orchestra that
has to work every minute. Both the
song and the music are startlingly
original. On the other side of the
disc is another freak novelty hit.
"One and Two and Three and
Four, Rock-a-Bye," sung by the
Peerles quartet. The first dance
fan who heard it listened for a
minute and then exclaimed: "Now
start rocking your baby."
"On a Little Farm in Norman
die," which the Peerles quartet
sings for Columbia this month, is a
harmonious love song, an echo from
the American Expeditionary forces
in the clover fields of Normandie.
It goes far toward explaining the
reason why so many of our men
brought home French brides, or
applied for permission to remain in
France. On the reverse of this
disc Henry Burr sings "Little Old
Lady o' Mine," another song of
unique sentiment.
"Ja-Da! Ja-Da! Ja-Da! Jing! Jing!
Jing!" is the appropriate title of the
latest jazz which Sweatman's
Original Jazz band has played for
Columbia records. Ifs as queer as
its title, but it makes a great fox
trot. "Rainy Day Blues," another
fox-trot by the same band, is on the
other side of this record.

REVELATION OF
JEWISH I SPIRIT
Dr. Obidiah Grossman Pleads
for Recognition of Task
Confronting Jews; $5,000
Subscribed.
For more than a hour and a- half
Dr. Obadiah A. Grossman, noted
English lecturer, director for the
central division of the Zionist Or
ganization of America, and detailed
by the headquarters at New York
City to bring the message of Zion
ism to the Jews of this community,
passionately pleaded with the 2,000
or more Jews who had assembled
to hear hint for a greater manifes
tation of the Jewish spirit and for
recognition of the huge task con
fronting the Tews of the world, now
that their claim to Palestine had
been recognized.
The meeting was held at the Boyd
theater at 9 o'clock Sunday evening.
Immediately after the address by
the distinguished speaker more than
$5,000 was subscribed by members
of the audience for carrying on the
work of colonization in Palestine and
for the purpose of enabling Jews of
small means to emigrate to the
"Promised Land."
Massacres of Jews in Poland and
Argentine and persecutions and
pogroms in the countries of eastern
Europe were condemned.
"The hour and dawn of a new
order of things has at last come,"
said Dr. Grossman. "We have at
last realized a 2,000-year-old dream.
. "The name of the Jew is bankrupt
today. Do you know why? It is
becausie the Jew has , established
nothing that is eminently his. Little
Serbia is accorded two delegates at
the peace conference. She is honor
ed and listened to. Her desires are
granted although she has produced
not one eminent artist, philosopher,
author or musician nor has she made
one single great contribution to the
science of the world since her in
ception. But she is accorded these
honors at the peace conference be
cause she has developed a national
consciousness, a spirit that is will
ing to sacrifice everything for the
welfare of the country.
"Jews have not been heeded and
have been persecuted , because they
lack this national consciousnss and
are unable to stand solidly together
for the things they want."
He paid a fervent tribute to Pres
ident Wilson, characterizing him as
the "greatest and most illustrious
democrat and the master idealist."
According to the decision of the
members of the peace conference
Palestine is to become a mandatory
of Great Britain to be held for the
Jews, he said. Already Britain is
withdrawing her troops from Pales
tine and leaving the country in the
hands of the Jewish legioneers who
are taking complete charge.
A scathing rebuke was given the
Anti-Zionist organization who were
characterized as traitors to the
Jewish, cause and to the 2,000-year-old
Jewish ideals. . ;
Henry Monsky, local attorney, in
troduced the speaker. , He spoke of
the wonderful progress made by the
Zionist movement in the last few
years.

; Revelations
How Mrs. Stockbridge Acceptetd
the Situation.
Mrs. Stockbridge's mouth flew
open in uncontrollable amazement
as she looked past Miss Holcombe
to me.
"Why why?" she stammered,
You're surely not going to wear
that spoiled dress?"
"Who said anything about a
spoiled dress?" demanded Miss Hol
combe. "Please revolve for the lady,
Mrs. Graham."
I turned slowly around, giving
my hostess a complete view of the
refurbished gown.
"I was sure that stuff wouldn't
come off,' 'she blurted, and then
stopped short, flushing hotly at her
inadvertent admission.
"lt didn't," Miss Holcombe re
torted drily.
''Then how?" she choked a bit on
the question. I saw that she was
raging with baffled mailce, and won
dered whether Alice Holcombe was
wise to tease her in the way she
was doing. The same thought must
have come to my friend, for she
dropped her drawlifg, provocative
tone, spoke briefly and to the point.
Real Self-Control.
"Why, you see, Mrs. Graham hap
pened to have a piece of
the goods in her opera bag,
but it wasn't until after she had
tried on your dress indeed had
started to fit it that we happened
to discover the fact that only one
panel drapery of her white gown
was touched by the calcimine. It
was really no task at all to replace
it with the new goods. Don't you
think we did a good job?"
I believe there were many emo
tions battling for utterance in Milly
Stockbridge's soul of which the
strongest was probably keen regret ,
that she had not done a more com
plete job in the "calcimining" of my
gown. But to the credit of her sejf
control, which rumor attributed to
her recent sanatorium sojourn, she
crushed them all down, forced her
lips to a smile and her voice to cour
tesy, although both smile and voice
were decidedly acid.
"Indeed, you have succeeded ad
mirably," she said, then with a touch
of stiffness: "Did you get very far
with the alteration- of mv crown be
fore you found out that Mrs. Gra
ham's could be fixed?"
'Nothing that cannot be put back
easily," Alice Holcombe replied.
"Simply a couple of seams ripped

them back."
"You needn't trouble," Mrs.
Stockbridge retorted quickly, then
stiffly to me. "Shall we go down
stairs now?
The voice of the maid, Christine,
interrupted.
If you please, maam, these just
came. Lieutenant uraham says
they're with his compliments."

obliterate the incident of the gown.

it?"
"Yet unworthy as you are,"-1
mocked, "one is certainly for you.
Come, let's open them."
I opened my opera bag, took out
a pair of scissors, snipped the cords
from all three boxes, and handed
the ones marked for the other
women to thenf. In another mo
ment the room was full of the frag
rance of roses, also of exclamations
of pleasure from all of us. Ever
Milly Stockbridge's dark, spiteful
face was lighted at the glowing
crimson roses which were in her
box, while Alice Holcombe's eves,
as sue mrcu me aeep, creamy oios

their tissue wrappings, were danc

and I gave an instinctive little shud
der of relief as I glanced at the
atrocious gown on the bed and
visualized how ; the delicate blos
soms would have looked against it.
"We never can wear all these,"
Mrs. Stockbridge said.
"We were never intended to do
so," I replied. "The rest are for
our 'later pleasure, i I would advise
that we take what we wish and
leave the rest in the boxes. Then
if anything happens to our flowers
we can slip up and replace them."

We selected the blossoms we
wished, and adjusted them. As we
did so, the bell rang.
"Oh, I ought to be downstairs this
minute!" Mrs. Stockbridge said
nervously. "That must' be the

minutes ago."
We followed her down the stairs,
and into the living room, where Mr.,

us. Dicky was also in the room, but
it was fully half a minute before he'
saw us, so engrossed was he in his
