CHAOTIC AUSTRIA.
If we are to take our cable messages literally, Austria is at present virtually divided into two armed camps. The Fascists and the Socialists are facing one another under arms, and the two forces —13,000 on the one side, 35,000 on the other—have this week paraded within reach of the capital. Fortunately no serious trouble occurred, but there is widespread apprehension of a recurrence of the violent riots that for the time paralysed the industrial and social life of Vienna a year ago. The root of the trouble is that the civic authorities in Vienna are Socialist, and their propagation of extreme revolutionary doctrines has shocked and alarmed the more conservative section of the people. There are all the materials here for a violent and destructive upheaval, and this grave danger suggests a further reason for the incorporation of Austria in the German Republic, to which on racial and national grounds its people really belong.
