NEW YORK, Dec. IA I'll a. m)-
Differences apparently have arisen
between Germany and Austria con
corning the progress of the Austrian
campaign. This is the only possible
Interpretation of the public rebuke
which has been inflicted on the Aus
trians by Berlin's week end official
report of conditions in the war zone.
The Austrian forces in the Carpa-
thians are accused of being too
small to clear Hungary Of the enemy
at once and must attack and repulse
one column after another" while q
more stinging rebuke is contained in
the statement that 1.-The Austrians re
port 10000 Russians have been CAP
tured but they fail to say within what
period, making the report meaning
less"
Such declarations as these made by
the German official press bureau con-
cerning Germany's ally, are indicative
of disgust in Berlin at Austria's fu-
tilities-
The immediate cause OF the Ger
man outburst is probably the col
lapse of Austrias offensive in Servia.
There is much mystery about Servta' S
counter offensive which is now so
successfully developing. Less than a
fortnight ago the Servians had been
routed and demoralized; SO complete
was their discontinue that their
country seemed lost. London news
papers which have just arrived in
New York show that Englishmen
themselves, believed Servia was de-
cisively beaten. England was begin.

LONDON, Dec. 14.-Having turned
about after severe defeats and routed
the Austrian army which had over
wheImed them. the Servians today
continued to press their advantage.
Reports have reached here that Aus
trian, may soon evaeuate Belgrade,
the servian capital, which they occu-
pied after four months fighting.
! From Vienna the victories claimed
bv the servians are denied. The re-
ported retreat OF the Austrians Is de-
clared to be due merely to a rear
ranaement OF the right wing In the
Balkans.
An official statement from Nish to-
day ASSERTS:
"on December II our troops con-
tinued in pursuit Of the enemy who
vainIy attempted to resist.
1--WE advanced beyond the line Of
Mokra. Cora, ZavIaka. and DobriVa.
.In the direction Of Miianowitz and
Belgrade, our advance met with sue
cess. the enemy retiring toward OBJ
renovatz. We captured seven Off
GERS, 2,1ss men. two flags and twenty
guns"
A wireless despatch from Vienna
saws:
"The shifting Of strong hostile
forces southwark necessitated the re-
arrangement Of our Balkan army. The
right wing was withdrawn and this
state Of affairs has been falsely rep
reesnted az a Servian success. Our
losses have been exaggerated
The Servlan statement indicates
that the operations against the Aus
trians have now, been merged into one
movement with the double objective
Of driving the Austrians across the
Drina river. back into Austria as well
as from Belgrade. They are now oper-
atin- along the Tamnavoc river, north

ming to speculate a fortnight ago,
whether Austria would break with
Germany and offer to negotiate a
separate peace as soon as she had
conquered the Serbs.
Instead of this. the servians seem
to have turned the tables on the Aus
trians in a way to bring Germany's
growing impatience of Austria's mill.
tary inability to public climax. The
Servians have accomplished the most
remarkable small scale feat Of the
war How they have done so Is I'M
known. Austria may have withdrawn
large part of her forces from
Servia. believing the Servians could
not return to the offensive; or the
Austrian northern (Belgrade) and
western (Valjevo) armies may have
become separated, permitting the
Servians to concentrate all their
strength against the enemy's weak
ened western wing.
Coming at the same time as the
Servian defeat, the public rebuke of
Germany, has. doubtless by now,
formed the subject of a sharp ex-
change of telegrams between Vienna
and Berlin. The Germans probably
have adopted so very unusual a pro-
ceeding in order to inject greater ar
dor and persistence into the Aus
trians. This is however, a dangerous
game to play internationally. for ran
cor invariably remains. For the first
time since hostilities began, the pres
ent episode makes public the fact
that war alliances do not always
work well when one of the allies Is
considered by the other to be lag
