AMSTERDAM, Jan. 24.—A sensa
tional Petrograd dispatch today report- j
ing an open revolution in Aitstria and j
the setting up of a provisional govern- |
ment proved wholly unfounded later in i
the day. Tonight it was generally |
viewed as a hoax engineered by the
Bolsheviki to strengthen their fast
dwindling power or by the Austro-Ger-
man rulers for the purpose of feigning
internal collapse on the eve of maxi-
mum military effort.
All on the surface is still serene in
the Danube empire. The imperial and
royal government remains for the pres-
ent in firm control.
Under the surface the nation-wide uu-
rest seethes on. Dispatches agree it may
explode any moment. The explosion, how -
ever. when it comes, will not he a swift
overthrow of the emperor-king's govern-
ment and the substitution of a provisional
regime. It will merely mark the opening
of long, bloody civil warfare, with the
hulk of the army and police pitched against
the revolting masses. Such, at least, was
the view of those who know Austrian con-
ditions best.
What happened during the last twenty-
four hours is the great drama in which
Austria, Russia and Germany play the
loading roles, is: The very moment that
Austria, through Kolshevlsm had gained
the whip baud over Germany, the power 01
the Russian radicals took a steep tumble.
Germany's espionage system in Russia
saved her from surrender to her cbief ally
just when the latter loomed large as pros
pectivc dictator and arbiter in the central
alliance.

still buzzing with" sharp demands from

TWO BRITISH FLYERS BREAK
PLANE ON FLIGHT FROM FT.
WORTH TO SAN ANTONIO.
Two cool British heads won a spectacu-
lar twenty-minute fight with death .1,000
feet in the air yesterday-afternoon about
sixty miles north of Sau Antonio. The
mm who escaped because their wits were
shalp and their heads cool are Maj. t'.
K. lthinebardt and t'apt. J. Pliipps of
the Royal British Aviation Corps.
The two officers, who are stationed at
Taliaferro Field, near Fort Worth, were
making a flight from Fort Worth to San

tude and without mishap until they ar-
rived about 4:30 o'clock at. a point east

great airplane began to careen and in
another minute it would have plunged
headlong.
Major Rhinehardt first operated the
plane and maintained a balance while
Captain Phipps tried to readjust the
break. That, failing the captain took con-
trol and the major substituted his body
for the missing supports in such a way
that the machine could descend. It landed
without Injury to either officer. After
it was repaired the airplane made the

By Associated Press.
After weeks of vacillating the Ger-
mans at last have presented their de-
mands to the peace conference at Brest-
Litovsk. and the Russians have de-
clined to accede to them.
Notwithstanding the fact that the im-
perial German Chancellor in his many
times prepared speech to the main com-
mittee of the Reichstag, announces that
he still holds the hope that an early
and satisfactory conclusion of the
Brest - Litovsk conference will be
reached, the terms of the Germans as
enunciated by General Hoffman, one of
their chief delegates to the peace con-
ference, so far form an insuperable
barrier for the Bolshevik government,
which has expressed a determination to
carry out a policy of no annexations
and no indemnities.
('our la nil in Hk entirety anil ail of Rus-
sia's Baltic provinces are to be retained
by Germany, according to General Hoff-
man in what is termed as Germany's last
proposal to the Russians, and the added
threat was given that if the Russians
failed to acquiesce In the demands further
inroads into their territory would follow
and the important port of Reval. near the
mouth of the Gulf of Finland, would be
occupied.
In theatrical fashion. Hoffman delineated
on a map before the astonished Russian
delegates the new Russian frontier as the
Germans intend it to ruu—from the shore;
of the Gulf ol' Finland eastward to the
Moon Sound islands and then to the west
of Minsk and theuee to Brest Llt.ovsk -
leaving within German boundaries some of
Russia's choicest territory.
Amazed at the audacity of the German
program the Russian delegates asked for
time to consider the demands.
This0 was grudgingly given, together
with the announcement that it was the
last postponement that could be expected.
The latest advices are to the effect that
the Russians have unanimously rejected
the German terms.
What the new situation will bring forth
is problematical. With the political situ-
ation in Russia still in turmoil and the
battle line depleted of ft£*Ttitig rnCn.
through defections, it is hart l.v probable
that the Russians will be able to withstand
at the present moment any great show of
force by the Germans toward the capture
of Reval, which would prove a handy
base from which to operate against. Petro-

LONDON, Jan. 24.—The situation
on the western front is critical, in the
opinion of Colonel Repington, one of
| the foremost British military critics,
! in an article today in the Morning Post.
| Colonel Repington criticizes Premier
Lloyd George and the War Cabinet
service because, he asserts, they have
failed to maintain the strength of the
British armies in the west.
The Germans, Colonel Repington
says, now have 165 divisio'ns on the
western front, or more than all the
allies combined, excluding the Italian
theater. The number of German troops
' is being increased, he added, and may
be expected to reach more than 200
divisions as soon as it is possible to
concentrate them.
Remarking that the accumulation of this
immense force may be either to support
negotiations or for a graud attack, the
writer says all evidence points to tlie im-
pending delivery of a series of great at-
tacks.

WORLD-FAMED FLYER SPENDS
DAY IN CITY ON TRIP TO
WASHINGTON.
Tom Gunn. world-famed Chinese aviator,
who has made the l uited States In times
past sit up and hold its breath over his
daredevil flights, spent yesterday in San
Antonio with his Chinese wife.
He is in the United States on a special
mission from the Chinese government as
the general director of aeronautics, and
has about $300,000 to spend for airplanes,
materials and equipment here. He holds
the rank of captain from his government.
"Just came to take a look at Kelly
Field." he declared breezily. "All China
has been hearing about it and we want
to get some pointers.
"I'm just, on my way to Washington
with credentials, where I have letters to
several officials and where I want to get
in touch with Chief Cutler of the Bureau
of Domestic Commerce and make arrange-
ments for the stuff I buy to be delivered
In China if possible by the middle of the
year."
In a big touring car Gunn went out to
the flying field here yesterday morning,
and was shown over the grounds by Roy
S. Francis, one of the flying instructors,
and an old friends of Gunn's. As a result
the Chinese aviator is absolutely enthus-
iastic.
"The best I've seen yet. The fields are
superb. I wanted to take a hand myself—
and I guess 1 would if somebody had
offered me a machine. The instruction
Is magnificent -and the standardization
a wonderful thing for aeronautics. Both
the system and the standardization I want
to take back with ine to China. For we're
expecting great things from America,
aren't we Lillie?"
Gunn was speaking to his wife—only
about five feet tall and cunning as only
an American-Chinese girl can be tucked
up in a big fur with her hands in a muff.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Secretary of
War Baker tonight ordered an immediate
investigation into the case of a soldier
alleged to have died at an army canton-
ment. without notice being given his family
and whose naked dead body is said to have
been found by the soldiers father on the
floor of a hospital ward. A letter from
the boy's father, detailing the circum-
stances, was read on the floor of the Sen-
ate this afternoon by Senator Chamberlain,
in his reply to the President.
Announcing the Investigating, Secretary
Baker said :
"This is not a singular case, I may say.
There have been other similar cases report-
ed to me. In each case there has been a
prompt, investigation. Of course, it has
been Impossible to gather over a million
men without incidents of this kind.
"It has been impossible to secure trained
medical attendants." he continued. "Had
these men been taken ill while at home
they would have been eared for In most
cases by their mothers, sisters or wives.
Taken ill at the camps they had, of course,
to be taken care of by employes.
"This must be remembered in Judging
these incidents; that the army had to get
the nurses and hospital attendants without
stripping the regular hospitals of the
country. It has been difficult fyc even the
regular Institutions to get help.
"But in each cast* where there has been
obvious neglect of patients there will be,
as there has been, rigid investigation."
Mr. Baker refused to comment directly
upon Senator Chamberlain's speech except
in this one instance. He said that he is
to go before the House Military Affairs
Committee on Saturday and there will

By Associated Press.
■yyASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. 24.—In a dramatic three-hour speech to the
Senate today. Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the Military Committee,
replied to President Wilson's statement that he had distorted the facts in
charging that the Government had broken down in its war preparations. He
declared the President had grossly maligned him and not only defended but
emphatically reiterated his assertions made in a recent address at New York.
He said the President did not know the truth and that he did.
the Senator disclaimed any personal rancor against either the President
or Secretary Baker saying his only motives were patriotic, to rouse the country
and to speed up the war by wiping out inefficiency. In support of his position,
he cited numerous incidents of alleged inefficiency in connection with army
ordnance, clothing supplies and sanitation brought out during the Military
Committee's war inquiry.
Senators and many Representatives crowded the floor and the galleries
were packed as Senator Chamberlain spoke. He began quietly, declaring it
was with a feeling of sadness that he found it necessary to rise to a question
of personal privilege to defend his veracity and integrity, heretofore unassailed,
but as he launched into the speech he grew emphatic and at times vehement.
When the Oregon Senator concluded. Senator Kirby, a member of the
Military Committee, replied on behalf of the Administration, flatly contradict-
ing the chairman's assertion that facts brought out in the investigation proved
the War Department inefficient. Then the Senate adjourned until Monday to
cut off further discussion.
There was no comment at the White House on the Chamberlain speech.
It is known, however, that Administration replies -are to be made soon by
Senator James In the Senate and Representative Dent of Alabama, chairman
of the Military Committee, and Representative Glass of Virginfa, in the House.
Secretary Baker probably will make his own answer Saturday when he appears
before fhe House committee. Representative Dent called at the department
late today and invited him to make a statement, to the committee.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 24.~
Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, chief of
staff of the American Army, has ar-
rived in France to represent the United
States at the forthcoming meeting of
the supreme inter-allied war council, it
was officially announced tonight.
By Associatcil Press.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 24.—
Gen, Tasker H. Bliss, Chief of Staff,
who arrived in Paris today, will repre-
sent the United States Army on the
Supreme War Council. Secretary Baker
in so announcing said the general is
accompanied by high ^.'."leers of every
branch of the service to advise him
about any questions that may arise.
General Bliss attended the first meet-
ing of the council and decision to send
him back to Europe as a permanent repre-
sentative on that body was made because
it wag recognised that General Pershing *
duties in organizing and commanding tl«e
cur increasing expeditionary forces were
too great to permit him to undertake
the presentation of American views on mil-
itary operatious and sit with the coun-
cil 1n framing plans of strategy that
cover all lronts and all armies.
No word of the departure of General
Bliss had been published until the news
of his wife arrival came today.
From General Bliss the War Council will
obtain an up to the minute report oa
what the United Statea will be able tu
contribute to operations on the Wester®
front this spring and summer. His !•-
port in this regard has been forecast ••
some extent by President Wilson's state-
ment to Congressional visitors that there
would be in Europe in June twice the
number of American troops which it had
been originally planned to send by that
time. General Bliss also can inform his
conferees exactly the situation in whicu
the United States finds itself now as ti>
delivery of supplies of a If sorts to the
allies and this iitformatlon probably will
have great weight in the shaping of war
plans.
While Secretary Baker's statement
merely said that General Dliis bad ar-
rived in Franc® to represent the army
on the council there have been IntW
mations that ffenewed recommendations
for vigorous offensive operations on
the widest possible acale were Included
in the instructions the general received
before Bailing.
Probably the primary consideration be-s
fore the council when It re convenes will
be the widely advertised proposed Ger-.
man offensive on the Western front.

allied powers from many quarters indi-
cating an impending drive against the
