"The representatives of the allied and associated powers In Paris are tfully aware of the terrible distress by which Austria is 'actually afflicted," cays Baron Klchoff's appeal. It re sulted from the plain figures which hav0 been laid before tho reparations committee with ghastly evidence that on the end of the present month tho Austrian peoplo literally will perish by cold and starvation. This is a fact which nobody calls into question. It has been established by the delibera tions of tho reparations committee and of the supreme council that Aus tria can only bo saved by granting her tho necessary credits and solely the hope that the powers would do so holds un as vet to a certain extent the morale of tho Buffering people. At that American cooperation offers the only chance for saving Austria. "It is therefore, tho sacred duty of every representative of the Austrian 1 people and I might say of everybody , knowing the utmost distress of this people; to address a most urgent ap- peal for help to the whole population ! of tho United States of America. "The perishing under tho eyes of the whole world of seven millions of human beings who in the face of inev- ltable starvation would fight each I other in utmost despair were a catas- I trophe unparalleled in history and ; everlasting stain on the civilization of the twentieth century. ; "Confidently the Austrian people appeals to the feeling of justice and of humanity of the American nation : notwithstanding economic "and polltl-' cal difficulties which might be opposed ( to the relief action.

"The 'manifesto stated that under the cloak of false patriotism and be hind a barrage of terroristlo Jingo sentiment, deliberately incited by them, the capitalists of America launched an orgy of profiteering which an out rumea tne nation; that the administration permitted a relatively small number of men to make profits amounting to billions of dollars, while tne prices or necessities of life rose to overwhelming heights." the central federated union. rn- resenting more than- 200,000 union workers affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, unanimously adopted a resolution tonight denounc ing the assembly for its action.

J. T. Bensley here. The stranger, who was found wan dering In rags and babbling childishly near the city on December Z2, is a cultured Englishman, versed in medi cine and surgery, learned in research work and music. Attracted by the man's evident culture Dr. Bensley, rector of BL Andrews Episcopal church, took him to his home from the city Jail where be was being detained. Dr. X" said In an Interview to night: "I should say that I an a native or England that's certain. That I at tended Oxford that's certain; that I have had English church experience that is most certain: that there is a strong presumption that my early life was spent In Mississippi." How long he has been suffering In this manner, whence he ' came and through what experiences he went before being found on the outskirts of the - town "watching a sunset," the man says he cannot remember. While being questioned by Dr. Bensley the man pointed to a picture of President Wilson and asked who it was. Remembered MoKInW "I remember when President Me Kinley was shot and Roosevelt be came president and then I remember that he was elected," he said. "Do you remember when he died?" he was asked. "No" replied the man of mystery aulckly, Is he dead? The first that the aphasia victim had heard of the war was when Dr. Bensley told him about it and he ap neared startled when he learned that Germany was a republlo. He Jumped out of his chair excitedly and said "what?" "Dr. X" recalled vividly the tragedy of the sinking of the Titanic In 1912 but he' is positive, however, that he was not a passenger on the vessel When asked If he had a wire, the stranger answered: "I have no rec ollection of any; probably I have none." Dr. Bensley, an Englishman and graduate of Oxford, said that he be lieves that "Dr. X" attended Oxford In the eighties and he probably gradu ated about 1885 or 1886. Played the Piano The first day at the rectory the man saw the piano and he sat down and began to play. He was nervous. Dr. Bensley said, and moved his feet re peatedly as if searching for pedal notes. When taken Into the church "Dr. X" played the organ (lth ease and displayed an unusual knowledge of church music, particularly Oer gorian music.

Jan. 9. fBv the As sociated Press) The first chamber of the Dutch parliament has drafted and presented to the cabinet a mem orandum suggesting that It now Is desirable that Holland request for mer Emperor William, of Germany, to return to his own country. In the ordinary course of parlia mentary procedure, the government would answer the first chamber. The government, however, it has been learned by the correspondent, does not consider the memorandum important. It is explained that it was introduced at the suggestion of a single member during tho budget debate, as a matter of formality. As far as the correspondent has been able to learn, the present Dutch government nas firmly decided that It will not surrender the one-time Gorman ruler. Former Emperor William has transferred most of his wood cut ting activities to roorn. where his new home Is being built.

Senator Hlchcock, of Nebraska, the acting democratic leader, said he did not regard the President's declaration as calculated to cut oft any reasonable compromise, and pre dicted ratification before the cam' palgn was under way. The mild res ervation group of republicans took much the same view, and the group of democrats who have been urgent in their demand for a compromise, declared their position was in no way altered. ' Discussion of compromise' reserva tions accordingly went forward a' actively as before, a conference be arranged on the republican side to take up in detail the set (if reserva tions submitted recently by Senator Kendrlck, of Wyoming, and other .mivrit, " J . a m auk 1,1 a. iin-mf a- proposal might be drawn up within a few days and all the parties to the negotiations seemed hopeful that an agreement ultimately would be reached.

Home other democrats were not so emphatio on that point, however, declaring pri vately that they would take the best compromise they could get and then -put the responsibility straight up to the white house.
