AMSTERDAM. lb. S. Dr. Von Seydlcr. the Austrian premier, has tendered the resignation of his entire cabinet to Emperor Charles according to a dispatch from Vienna. The resignation cf the Von Seydler cabinet, It is understood in parliamentary circles in Vienna, Is due to th opposition of Polish deputies against special debates and th provisional budget. The opposition of the deputies makes a majority for the budget doubtful. Dr. Von Seydler was able to bring about the cessation of tho strike by Informing labor delegations on Jan. 20, that It was the wish of tho Austrian emperor to end tho war at the earliest possible moment. Other members of his government promised labor and military reforms, aftpr which tho labor leaders ordered th strikers to return to work. This virtually ends the strike In Vienna. President Oross of tha Lower House, announcing tha resignation said thut according to the constitution it was necessary to postpone temporarily the sittings of tho bouso. The cabinet of Dr. von Sydler, which was formed last Juno, was reported to btr resigned during tho rocent labor crisis In Austria-Hungary, This report however vu not confirmed. TWO LEAVE FOR ARMY

GERMAN LANGUAGE IS THROWN FROM SCHOOLS OF T. H1

TERUE HAUTE, Feb. 8. Terre Haute has followed the lead of Indianapolis. Richmond and other patriotic communities and abolished the teaching of the German language in the publio schools.

If was further ordered that a committee,, composed of Superintendent Walts, Assistant Superintendent Tilley and Vocations Director Briggs, go through the other text books in use

in the schools and report as to whether

or not any of them contain other German propaganda.
