ENEMY TROUBLED AND MYSTIFIED
AUSTRO-GERMAN, UNITY
IMPAIRED
(ACSTRAMAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLB ASSOCIATION.) LONDON; 16th February. A special despatch says that recent Russian developments are full of possibilities of surprise and serious embarrassment, to the. Central Powers. The dissolution of the old Russian peril deprives the artificial Austro-Gevman unity of its former impelling force. Austria is desperately anxious for peace, and now, no longer sharing in the common, antagonism, may break away from German control and cease to set herself against the natural development of the Slav races. The Austrian internal position is already perilous, owing to a determined and probably permanent Slav union against the Government. Beneath- the masterful German announcements of the threats of .the anti-Bolsheviks are signs of nervous:ness and hesitation. Reports from ; Vienna state that the. Austrians are puzzled by the possible ramifications of, the Bolshevik policy. It is supposed that M." Trotsky will expect that the Central Powers do not intend'to attack Russia. The latter can then afford to await the results of the Western offensive. Germany's remedy for the Polish situation is awaited with the keenest interest.. The newspapers, are divided. Some are bellicose, while others are fearful of the ultimate outcome. ' :
