MOB RIOTS Threaten
Unemployed in Vienna Give AuthOri-
ties Much Trouble.

Vienna, Sept. 15.-The authorities
are adopting strenuous measures to
suppress riots by the unemployed.
The problem of caring for the refu-
gees is a desperate one. Thousands
of refugees from Galicia have arrived
here. They have added to the ranks
Of the out-of-workers to such an ex-
tent that the officials are alarmed and
are diverting many of the men to
work on the earthworks that are be-
ing constructed to defend the city.
The police have been ordered to
prevent street paradess Of the unem-
ployed. Several mass meetings have
been held at which violent speeches
were made. In addition depots are
to be opened in the market places
where food will be furnished to those
applying. Meanwhile, the train loads
Of wounded continue to roll into the
city. 1t is impossible t. care for
them properly. The army surgeons
are all at the front. The volunteers
have not had the experience necessary
for many Of the problems presented

R0UT OF GERMANS
Disastrous Retreat of the
Kaiser's Army Is Described
BY q Correspondent of q Lon
don Newspaper.

London, Sept. 1.-THE Times cor
respondent from a point near Melun
wires a vivid description of the rout
and retreat Of the Germans during a
hurricane and torrents of rain which
turned the roads into river ways so
that the wheels of the artillery sank
deep in the mire. He describes how
the horses strained and struggled,
often in vain, to drag the guns away
and continues:
IT have just spoken to a soldier
who has returned wounded from the
pursuit that will go down with the
terrible retreat from MOSCOW as one
of the crowning catastrophes OF the
world.
They fed, he declares, as animals
fee who ere cornered and know it.
Imagine a roadway Uttered with
guns, knapsacks. cartridge belts. Max
inns and heavy cannon even. There
were miles and miles of it, and the
dead, those piles of horses and those
stacks CT men. 1 have seen it again
and again, men shot SO close to one
another that they remained standing
after death. The sight is terrible and
horrible beyond words.

are swept toward the weak points of
the retreating hosts. This is the ad-

the allies have chosen. The network
of railways is like network of spider
webs. AS all railways center upon
Paris, it is possible to thrust troops
upon the foe at any point with almost
incredible speed and food and NUM-
tions are within arms reach"
Not Much to Say.
A dispatch from the German general
staff on the battle of the Marne, re-
ceived in London today, suffered at the
tao oH6 oF Ill
form the only claim made for German
arms is that of having successfully de-
feated the French endeavors to break
through the German lines. This ap-
parently is quite true unless the re-
port from Dieppe this afternoon alleg-
the German right had been forced to
surrender, turns out to be correct. Up
to the present there has been no coz
f1rmatiOn of the story.
In any case from the estimate given
of the numbers of the troops surren-
dered which according to one report
was $4,000 and according to another
$4,000 it would be a misnomer to call
it a surrender of Gen. Won Kluck's
army which must total in the neigh
borhood of 100000. That Won Kluck's s
position is difficult seems to be un-
questionable if. as reported the Ger
man line is swinging its extreme right
back on the Meuse in the vicinity of
Mesieres, Vervines, ST. Quentin and
Perone.
General Won Kick has shown mas
terful skill and even should he be
forced to sacrifice a part of his army
to an offensive ssroke of the British
and French, unless beaten by a break
in the weather which is turning the
roads into Quagmire and making
transport most difficult, observers here
are of the opinion that he will reach
his appOiv ed position.

The wound of Prince Joachim, the
healing rapidly despite the tearing ef-
feet of a shrapnel ball through the
thigh. The empress and the surgeons
are having considerable trouble in
keeping the patient quiet. He wants
to get on his feet again and insists
that he ought to be able to rejoin his
command at the front in about fort
night.
The prince treats the wound as a
trifle. He smilingly greeted an old
palace servant whom he had known
since childhood with the remark:
Thinks He Is Lucky.
Am I not a lucky dog?"
From an officer who was with Prince
Joachim when he vas wounded, the
following description of the incident has
been obtained: 1t was during the hot
test part of the battle, shortly before
the Russian resistance was broken, that
the prince, who was with the staff as
information officer, was dispatched t.
the firing line to learn how the sftua-
ton stood. He rode off with Adjutan.
Captain Won Tahlzahn and had to +rav-
erse the distance. almost mile, un-
der a heavy hail of shell and occasional
volleys.
AS the Russian artillery was well
served and new all the ranges from
previous measurements the ride was
not particularly pleasant one. but he
came through safely and stood talking
with the officers when shrapnel burst
| in their vicinity. The prince and the
adjutant were both hit. the latter re-
i ceiving contusions on the leg but the
shot not penetrating.
