AUSTRIA IMPRESSED
WITH NECESSITY OF
COURTING HUN AID
Papers Frankly Admitting
Hatred Say German Dom-
j ination Is Unavoidable.
Associated Tress Carrey ondenre.
LONDON--A vigorous newspaper
campaign is in progress in Austria
with the object of impressing on the
non-German population uf that
country the absolute necessity of
linking the destiny of Austria-Hun-
gary with that of Germany.
Even independent papers like the
Zeit are pointing out with much
vigor that however much Austrians
may feci inclined to resent manifes-
tations of German arrogance and su-
periority this is not the time to re-
sent that "which is part of the l
North German nature.”
It would be more to the purpose}
says the Zeit to recognize that with-1
out German backing there is but ai
poor prospect of Austria-Hungary
cutting any important figure at the
coming peace conference.
The Zeit points out with an air of
resignation that the same holds good
with regard to Austria's future n-
nomic development. The mor hy
has been too heavily hit and / re-
sources too far exhausted for
thought of independent economic ac-
tion apart from Germany. No ex-
tension of Austro-Hungarian terri-
tories into the Balkans is to be
thought of without German co-
operation. and even the thought that
the result may be of more benefit
to Germany than to Austria cannot
prevent the convictiop that there is
no other waj of meeting the situa-
tion than by co-operation.
The Vienna Tageblatt in an article
along the same lines says:
“Do not let us deceive ourselves
This tone of antagonism to Ger-
many is heard in many places. There
are vast bodies of our population
who still fail to see any value in our
alliance with Germany and who
even* after the evidence of the past
four years of faithful friendship on ;
the part of our ally resent the in-
timate connection between us and ;
our dependence on one another. ।
"We would do well to go to school (
to Germany. Germany is our true •
firend even if she is not always a j
pleasant one. i
"Whatever people may say or
think Austria-Hungary's future is .
by the side of Germany. This can- .
not be avoided no matter how much
hatred we display no matter how
much wc ghe .utterance to our j
envy.” ir

General Shilnikoff recently com-

themselves a committee have pro-

The moderate Russians hope for
an important development from the

WASHINGTON D. C.. May 15.—
The United States ha.s b ome the
silk manufacturing center of the
world as a result of the war which
has stimulated the manufacture of
silk here and in the Far East at the
expense of Europe
A study of the silk industry the
fir.-t official inquiry of the kind has
just I pen completed by the tariff
commission.
Japan continues to lead the world
in the production of bilk while the
United States first among the na-
tions in its manufacture docs not
produce a single pound of the ma- <
tmal. France continues the chief ;
European manufacturer of silk and
the principal source of American im-
ports. Japan ranking second.
The annual requirements of the
American silk industry are 20.000 •
tons of silk and silk waste 10000
tons of cotton and other yarns and <
1000 tons ot metallic tin for weigh-
ing. Most striking of all the dew.-
