Austria Feeling
Wars Disasters
Every Available Vienna Building TAX
en- for Wounded-Soldiers Beg
In Streets - Capital 10
Full Of Misery.

Rome.-Information from Austria
reveals unimagined seriousness.
The military losses not only have
been great, but disease is spreading
while the popu!ace Is ~apathetic. Enor'
nous, almost ~inconceivable, Is the
loss OF life suffered by the Austrian
Army.
An evil spirit seems to have rem
dered the Austrian Army impotent
from the very commencement of hos
t%ilities. The first Austrian advance
into Russian Poland, resulted in a hor-
ribie catastrophe for the invaders.
Only six weeks after the declaration
OF war Vienna alone took under its
auspices no fewer than 10000 wound
ed, and 1t was calculated that In those
six weeks the Austrian Army had lost
10000 men in killed and wounded.
From then onward not a single day
has elapsed without bringing news Of
a sanguinary skirmish.
In one encounter OF minor impor-
lance at the end Of September the
Austrian Army emerged with the colos'
sal total OF 10000 fallen. This was
due to a tragic error. The Austrlans,
left without ammunition and stationed
in an open position, hoisted white
flags. I'M Russians did not see them
and continued to decimate the Aus
TRANS with their mitrailleuses for sew
eral hours.
Austria was entirely u%nprepared for
such gigantic losses. Vienna has con
sequently had to be converted into a
gigantic hospital. All the public and
private hospitals, barracks, and
schools became overfilled. but this did
not suffice, and theatres and Offices
were occupied for this purpose. 1t
was still inadequate. Then were In
vaded the Museum, the great Rotunde
of the world-renowned Prater Park,
where elegant spectacular ballets were
performed, the gay palaces of the
great Viennese exhibitions, and all
other available accommodations.
The life Of the city is nearly alto
gether crushed by this painful mass or
mutilated humanity.
The hospitals are beginning to run
short OF ch~loroform, and as a result
many operations are performed with
out an~aesthetics.
Convalescent soldiers wander like
vagabonds through the streets, cloth
ed in uniforms and still bandaged,
begging aims. They are hungry, they
ask for food, warm apparel, under
clothing, and walking sticks.
All the stocks have been exhausted.
There is no more leather for boots.
There is a shortage of shirts and jack.
cts. One sees reservists on sentry
duty with ropes around their waists
instead of leather belts.
Together with the wounded arrive
long professions Of cholera and dysen-
terry invalids, all from the Galician
frontier. The medical figures for VI.
emma indicate 100 dead daily from this
malicious epidemic.

air. Their infantry Is not good. but
how terrible is the artillery-how ter
rible-"
The spirit OF patriotism in the VI
ennese runs to its highest flood when
these wounded men are being con-
veyed through the streets.
Show Captured Arms.
Before the palace of the minister OF
war, beside the monument Of Maria
Theresa and Of Prince Schwarzen-
berg, the and arms captured
from the Russians are on view. They
are insignificant arms, but the people
do not tire Of caressing them. The
meager signs Of Austrian success are
like CLEANS OF hope in a leaden sky
Of despair.
And, patrolling the streets n sees
increasing in number daily monde
script army uniforms. Every color
and sort Of ancient regalia has been
brought forth from old ~storehouses.
In the hour when war and It's hor.
rors are keeping a pail e Vienna
the sight Of religious professions,
headed by priests praying for Divine
aid, brings out in relief the picture or
faith. The churches are constantly
filled with women and children, pray
ing for husbands and fathers and
brothers who may eve return. In
the time Of sorrow too great to en-
dure alone the people are throwing
themselves more and more upon the
bosom Of the church, which has Of
fered them consolation so many times
before.
Rich Are Accused.
While the devout are filling the
churches and the wounded are filling
the hospitals, while the wretched flu
gltives are bringing with them famine
from Gallcla, accusations and pro.
tests are rising above the murn,urs OF
distress. against the rich.
On different subscription lists
opened daily for the Red Cross the
sight OF unbelievably small sums CIV
en- by members Of the nobility and by
m%illionaires has brought forth waves
Of indignation. A feudal prince who
is among the richest men in Europe
has subscribed 20 own ($4). Ey-
erywhere one hears criticism Of the
ar~istocracy, Of the high nobility and
their avarice. This selfishness, say
the people. is traditional, but the pub
lie believed that In an Hour Ike this
even the frightened purses of the no
bility would open. 1t has been sug-
gested that a list be published, giving
the names of the nobility, Of the rich
who have been guilty of avarice, and
who have added to the general pub
lie depression. Emperor Francis Jo-
seph does not conceal his indignation
against these grasping members OF
the nobility.

London.-Back and forth, In zigzas
style, along the course OF the User be-
tween Nieuport, on the North Sea, and
Dixmude, Is miles to the south, The
tide OF battle ebbed and flowed day
upon day without any marked change
in the positions of the Allies and the
Germans being effected.
Gen. Joffre's dispatches, however,
strengthen the belief that the German
attack in Flanders and France has
passed the crest OF power and Is slow
ly weakening.
The French official reports were
more favorable than at any time since
the German armies began their new
advance fifteen days ago after the oc-
cupation OF Ostend. The Kaiser's
troops we're not merely checked, but
were hurled back.
The All.es gained ground in Bel
GUM to the north and east OF Ypres,
driving a wedge further %northward be-
tween the German forces near the
coast and forces operating from Client
and Brussels. The Allies outfought
the Germans and advanced in the re-
glon of La Basse, the point for many
days of incessant and violent effort
by the Germans to cut the Allied line
In two. Elsewhere along the west
flank the Allied line remains unbreak-
able.
The official statement that the Ger
man onslaught Is moderating, togeth-
er with unofficial dispatches asserting
that the Germans cannot maintain
their attack, warrants the conjecture
that the Russian victories In Poland,
the advances Of the French in Lor-
raine and Alsace and tremendous
losses in killed and wounded In Bel
GUM and northern Frace are COMPEL
ing the Germans once more to aban'
don an offensive campaign and are
forcing them to prepare to defend
their own territory. 1t Is reported
that the invaders have lost 10000 kill
ed and 10000 wounded in Belgium
alone, while their losses in France
especially near La Basse, Lille and
Arras, have been enormous.
The dwlndling of their chances In
Belgium produced the new attempt to
break through the Allied line in the
old centre, in the Craonne region.
The news from the battle line north,
east and south east of Verdun con-
tinues to be favorable to the French
and has an important bearing on the
situation In the north. The French
moved forward in an effort to envelop
the German force holding st. Mihiel,
and maintained a threatening move
ment toward Metz.
The Austrian official reports tell OF
heavy fighting in Poland south of Ivan.
gorod and the capture Of 10000 Rus
SLAMS. They also declare the Servians
and Montenegrins have been driven
on of Bosnia with great loss.
The British Government is greatly
worried over the rebels in South Afri
ca having been joined by Generals
De Wet and Beyers, but insists the re
volt will soon be wiped out.
An official statement issued in Lon
don announces that Premier Bo
tina, commanding the troops OF the
Union Of South Africa, has routed the
command of rebels under Genera
Beyers and captured 80 prisoners.

German Press Admits It May Last
Longer Than Expected - Urges
Outstanding Of Wheat Supply.

Amsterdam.-The German semi-ofl.

admits that war is likely to last
longer than 1t originally thought.
The North German Gazette in a
long article regarding the maximum
prices of provisions urges the necessi.

The newspaper estimates Germany
has enough corr for bread for the
army and the population until the
next harvest. but it adds the war may
last longer, and the Germans must
be able to hold out until lasting peace
is brought about.

In the harbor, where hundreds and

almost equal to the population Of the
