NO SYMPATHY FOR GERMAN WAR AIMS
PATIENCE OF TORTURED MASSES ENDED VITAL ISSUES AT BREST LITOVSK
Amsterdam, January 23. No'newspapers have arrived from Austria since January 18. Tho Vienna "Arbeiter Zeitung," in a remarkable article, says:—"lho patience of tho tortured masses is ended. They are unablo to endure any longer. Not only the workers, but millions of peasAnts, officials, and professional men demand peace. The strikers are now translating a powerless wish into a definite act." It is strango that the Austrian censor allowed tho article to bo published. The German newspapers are ignoring the Austrian crisis. A well-informed traveller from Austria states that every Austrian ridicules the idea of fighting on for Alsace-Lor-raine, for Germany's annexations in Belgium, for the freedom of the seas, and the other items in the, German Jingoes' programme. Austria wants an Austrian peace. An overwhelming mass of the people support tho right of self-determination. Germany does not want neace; but Austria does. Will she be offered it?-Aus.-N.Z.
