aaaeatmcnt and excitement in Austria
•rrr the reduction of the bread ra
tter »# quoted from Austrian news- j
papers by the correspondent of the <
Time*, at The Hague L
Among the subsidiary causes of the ,
anger is the fart that notification of f
ito reduction was not made until Mon- i
toy noon, aitho it had been enforced t
from early that morning, when loud
and excited probata were raised.
Premier von Seydler is accused by :
toe socialist Arbeiter Zeitung of _
Varans of producing a disastrous sit- '
nation by favoring the agrarians and ’
traders. It say* that the situation j *
maid certainly have been prevented, j
The paper rails against Germany and '
Hungary and tells the authorities 1
they must immediately draw the at- *
tertion of those countries to the fact,
tost food conditions in Austria are '
intolerable and demand necessary as- !
swtanee. It adds:
“The Austrian population cannot ’
starve while Germany and Hun- '
gary Have tolerably adequate ra
ttens. The Austrian government must 2
be placed under tutelage even in mat
ters relating to the food supply. It
has deserved to be subjected to
guardianship but the population must
not be punished with starvation for 1

Wonkl Eat a Sick Dor.
London, June 21,—Food conditions
in Germany are becoming worse and
there is great discontent there owing
to reduction in the bread ration, ac
cording to a Dutch fnan interviewed by
the correspondent of the Times at
The Hague. The Dutchman had just
returned from working in the Krupp
plant at Els sen, which he left because
to could not stand the food condition*
The German people, he added, feared
to grumble openly, lest they be sent
to the front.
The correspondent says that the
testimony of the Dutchman corrobor
ates what he has heard from many
atber witnesses and adds:
“One popular saying is that the
people will pay 100 marks for a sick
Jog to eat. The war ia becoming very
unpopular among the workers but the
feeling ebbs and flows with the tide of
Germany's success and the English
are generally cursed."
Germany's Grudging Aid.
Amsterdam, June 21— Grudgingly
enough, Germany is assisting famish
mg Austria from her own scanty sup
plies and the semi-official news bureau
*f Berlin publishes the following
tomtn unication:
“Germany has a population of 120
to the square kilometer and Austra
snly 76.
“The cultivated area in Austria
Hungary is 330,000 square kilometers
tnd in Germany only 350,000. Only
5 per cent of the German population
sre practical farmers against 65 per
tent in Austria.
“Besides Austria’s backwardness in
scientific farming and fertilising the
greatest fault lies undoubtedly in the
shortcomings of Austria’s official food
tupply departments.”
German-Austrian Friction.
Amsterdam, June 21.- Austrian ex
change, which has been declining frac
tionally daily on the Amsterdam
tourse, dropped another full point on
Thursday. All Austrian bonds are
tower.
It is pointed out here that the re
ports last week of difficulties between
Austria and Germany are now con
krmed, despite the denial made by
Austrian consuls on June 17.
The Weekly Ration.
London, June 21.—The weekly food
nation in Austria, the Daily Mail cor
respondent at The Hague quotes the
Arbiten Zeitung of Vienna as report
ing. is as follows: •
“Twenty-two ounces of bread; one
pound of potatoes, of which half can

toffee substitute.”
VIENNA"MUSTGO HUNGRY.
Neither Germany Nor Hungary Can
Furnish Austria Food.
Paris, June 22.—A dispatch from
Basel, Switzerland, to the Havas
sgenev says General Ludendorff, first
quartermaster general of the German
•rmies, in reply to an appeal to the'
mayor of Vienna for assistance in thel
food crisis, said;
“I would, from my heart, help the j
Stipulation of Vienna in its serious)
dfficulties, but it is unfortunately im
possible from German sources—more
than ever before. All the imports- '
tions of cereals from the Ukraine, Ru- 1
mania and Bessarabia have been al- 1
lotted without exception to Austria.
“Notwithstanding the difficult ties of 1
our own food situation. I placed in 1
April, May and June shipments dis- 1
tined for the west front at the dis- 1
position of Austria. But now there
gw bo more reserves of this sort and,
£ am not in a position to furnish oth j
<r aid.’'
In a similar vein the mayor of Bud
apest, after expressing his sympathy!
for Vienna's situation, declared it is j
impossible for him to aid the inhabi-i
tants cf the Austrian capital. He ad-;
ded. however, that he w»* passing for-1
ward the request for assistance to the i
Hungarian food minister.

ARMKRS OF ARKANSAS FACE
BIG SHORTAGE OF LABOR
:*<e Growers Visit Little Rock is
Numbers to Seek Laborers—Gov
ernment Gets Majority of Hands.
Little Rock, June 18.—The fanner
if Arkansas is now up against it for
ibor, as well as meaterial. Rice
rrowers have visited Little Rock daily
i»r some days in an effort to pur
uade laborers to devote their time i
} growing the cereal that has made i
.rand Prairie famous. T special
rain came from Texas with farm
and* on Tuesday, but most of them
rent to government work after
caching Little Rock, only a few being
nticed t othe rice fields.
There is a general scarcity of socks
n which to ship crops, and offers
o purchase 150.000 lots at 35 cent?
ach have failed to bring many sellers j
o light. The condition will mean i
nuch to the rice grower, should it
ontinue, for while rice can shipped
n bulk, as wheat, oats and corn are
iow being transported, the millers
rould be very much inconvenienced
ly its arrival in that form. The mills
ler equipped for handling rice in
>acks and they would have to sack it
ipon arrival is it was to be stored to
idvantage.
Arkansas planter are preparing an
ippeal to the government for assist
ince in getting farm labor. This has
jecn done before in asking for delay
n enforcing reporting under the
Iraft, and conditions are now such
that efforts along this line if re
newed will meet with success.

REFUSED LENIENCY AS
JUDGE HAD EXCORIATED HIM
Condemned Freehman Takes to
Heart the Judge’s Declaration That
He Was Unfit to Live.
Paris, June 20.—Camille van tier
Marden was sentenced to death by
the Assises of Seine et Oise some
three weeks ago. He had murdered
an elderly woman to rob her of a few
francs. There were no extenuating
circumstances and in sentencing him
the judge said he was a monster who
did not deserve to live.
Some days ago his attorney asked
him to sign a plea for clemency which
would be presented to President Poin
care, asking that sentence of death be
commuted to life imprisonment. Van
der Marden refused to put his name
at the bottom of the document, say
ing:
“The judge said I didn’t deserve to
live."
His lawyer presented his plea for
clemency over the refusal of his
client.
This morning President Poincare
received the following letter:
“Please do not pardon me. 1 don’t
want to be pardoned. The judge said
I wasn’t fit to live." It was signed
Van der Marden.
Van der Marden will be executed.

Search of the wreck for bodies con
tinued.
The troop train, traveling a straight
track, totally demolished three of the
flimsy circus coaches and badly dam
aged a fourth.
According to rupurws to lutm au
thorities, the circus train pulled part
way into a switch and stalled there
on account of a hot box. The flagman
went back on the main track and set
fuses as a warning of danger. The
circus train was in this position when
the equipment train plowed into its
four sleepers, reducing them to a pile
of tangled steel and timbers. Fire, en
gendered by the gas lighting system
of the circus train broke out almost
immediately and when rescurers
reached the scene the entire wreckage
was in flames. Clows, bareback rid
ers, trapez performers and acrobats,
many of them veterans in the circus
world, perished in the crash. Other
victims were suffocated and burned.
Survivors Were Frantic.
Attempts of the Gary fire depart
ment failed for lack of water. Surviv
ors struggled about the wreck scream
ing for relatives or friends and only
force prevented some from rushing
into the blazing wreckage. Hours aft
er the crash bodies, charred black,
still were being recovered as the der
ricks of wrecking trains thinned but
the pile of debris.
Joe Coyle, a clown, wept bitterly
as he lay on a stretcher and told how
his wife and two babied had joined
him only recently after months of ab
sence and how all three had been
crushed to death at his very side.
“The kiddies had been so glad tc
see their daddy," he said. “I wish
I could have died wdth them.”
Wild rumors spread that severa!
lions had escaped from the train tc
the woods south of the wreck. Circus
authorities said no wild animals were
on the train. They also discredited re
ports that one circus woman, dement
ed, had evaded the doctors and raced
oc into the woods clad only in nigh!
clothing.
The circus was to have played yes
terday at Hammond.
Flames Stilled Her (.'rie%
Oie woman, screaming fck a0en|
beneath the burning timbers when she
saw the flames nearing those whe
were trying to release her, shouted
“Get away!" Get away quick, or you‘1!
be burned, too." The rescurers were
unarac 10 release ine woman, anu nei
cries were stilled by the flames.
“'Most of the dead showed only su
perficial injuries and evidently were
killed by suffocation or burning.
A rescue party found one woman
pinned beneath a rail with her head
between two ties. She was dragged
out and when the dirt was washed
from her face she opened her eyes
and soon afterward was found to be
unhurt except for a broken nose and
bruised face.
Wreck Burned for Hours.
There was no fire-fighting appara
tus at Ivanhoe and the wreck burned
for hours. Those who were thrown
from the wreck stood helpless watch
ing the horror, and some later were
found wandering half crazed in the
woods, in their night garments.
A woman, who lives only half a
block from the wreck, said:
“The noise of the train sounded like
a great explosion. I looked out the
window, everything was red with
flames shoting in the air. I could hear
cries of women and babies.
“I ran to the telephone and called
the police station, fire department and
hospital.
Women Helpless Under Wreck.
"Then I ran to the wreck and
helped all I could. One little girl ran
to me, her left arm smashed. I put
some liniment on it and put her into
the first ambulance. I was told that
her mother had been burned.
•‘I could see women underneath the
wreck, helpless. It was more than I
could stand and I left.”
A number of the dead and injured
are negroes employed as “razor
backs.”
Engineer Arrested.
Kalamazoo, Mkh, June 23.—Alonzo
K. Sargent, engineer of the train of
twenty-one empty troop cars that
crashed into the Walace-Hagenbeck
circus train near Gary, Ind., yester
day momtng.was arrested here last

AUTO DEALERS WILL CUT
DOWN PLEASURE CARS
Will Sell Accessories for Cash Only,
Close Up Tight on Sundays and
at 6 o’clock on Week Days.
RpeclaJ to The Star.
Little Rock, June 19.—Unless gar
age owners, accessory dealers and au
tomobile salesmen of Arkansas are
less patriotic than those of other
states, all will on July 1 put into force
a rule to do business only for cash
and give no night and Sunday service
except on cars that are being used in
business essential to the winning of
the war. In this manner the auto
mobile dealers and accessory men'
hope to eliminate the automobile as ■
a pleasure car and conserve material
as well as man power for the govern
ment.
The Little Rock Automobile Deal
ers’ Association voted on Tuesday
afternoon to close their places at 6
each day and not to open at all on
Sunday. The sale of gasoline on Sun- i
day will also probably go with this
order.
This is but a part of the nation
wide movement on the part of the
automobile dealer^ and accessory
men. The government has asked it
and on June 1 the local dealers went
on a cash basis. A curtailment of
service will also follow, and in this
way many people who run to a garage
or dealers for minor repairs will at
tend to it at themselves, thus mak
:_u_r_s.1_J_l
erate with a smaller force of mechan
ics, and release men for war work.
The directors of the Arkansas Au
tomobile Association meet in Little
Rock Friday for the purpose of act
ing upon the government suggestions,
and as the officials are known to en
dorse the rules put in force in Little
Rock, there is no doubt but they will
be adopted.
RELIEVING SUGAR SHORTAGE.
Fort Smith Drug Company Had 35,
000 Pounds Over Allowance.
From The Fort Smith Times Record.
The sugar shortage in this county
will be relieved to some extent as a
result of the Morris-Morton Drug
Company, wholesalers, returning to
the food administration 35.000 pounds
of sugar they had purchased in ex
cess of their allotment This sugat
will oe immediately distributed bj
Allen Kennedy among merchants
housewives and others who are en
titled to it.
Under the new sugar regulation!
it is unlawful to have more tTian 6C
days supply on hand. The Morris
Morton company purchased a car load
of sugar before these legulations be
came effective and under the rules the
company had to surrender all but its
60-day allotment.
The supply of sugar here now is s<
short that many persons using it foi
syrups for cold drinks, candy, medi
cines and the like are unable to man
ufacture more of these products be
cause they have used the limit al
lowed them. Persons desiring the
sugar rtumed by the drug companj
must show proper credentials to Foex
Administrator Kennedy before thej
will be allotted a supply.

British Board Favors Removal of
Government Control After War.
London, June 19.—The board of
trade committee, in its report on the
position of shipping in the recon
struction period, unanimously recom
mends the early removal of govern
ment control. The peace treaty, it
declares should enforce the surren
der of enemy’s shipping, heavily pun
ish the enemy’s crimes at sea, and
provide for the auctioning of sur
rendered vessels, the proceeds to be
treated as part of the common war
indemnity.
The committe considers post war
restrictions on building for Germans
useless, unless all the allies, includ
ing the United States, are prepared
to coerce neutrals to that end

every person who fails to do his part
will be, it is said, designated as a
slacker.
As a preparatory step Mr. Goff has
sent out letters to each member of

ARMY OFFICER UNDER ARREST.
Charge Lieutenant Stanley Accepted
War Contract Graft.
Washington, Jan. 18.—The trail of
the government’s pursuit of illegal

to the arrest in New York of Lieut. J
James C. Stanley, a reserve army offi
cer, an a charge of accepting money!
from the Truefit Raincoat Company I
