GERMANY
MENACE OF THE HAPSBURGS. DYNASTV MUST BE CRUSHED. !THE AIM OF GERMANY SOME STRIKING REMARKS Received Feb. 11, 10.30 p.m Paris, Feb. 11. Professor Masaryk, a former member of the Austrian Reiehsrath, who wa3 ex- | iled at the outset of the war, einplia- [ sises the necessity of wiping out the Hapsburg dynasty. If Germany was deprived of Austrian and Turkish support she would be too weak to menace the Western Powers. Had the Allies at the outset declared the Austrian Slavs liberated from the monarchy and abolished Austria-Hungary it would have been a millstone around Germany's neck and the entire course of th ! e war would have been changed. It would be a fatal mistake to imagine that Austria would ultimately oppose Germany. Pan-Ger-manism i 3 rampant in Vienna and Budapest and outnumbers the Czechs and Slavs, Germany's one aim is supremacy over Central Europe by effectively holding the Allies in check. If the Hapsburgs were wiped out, Germany's dream would be shattered and the Berlin to Bagdad scheme would be a thing of the past. She would never again be able to devastate Europe.
