A BITTER FEELING IS
AROUSED IN AUSTRIA
Against Germany Because Of
Much Burden Placed On
Austrian Soldiers.

Vienna, Sept. 14.-(via Rome) -
There is increasingly bitter feeling
here against Germany and an almost
universal demand in popular circles
that the government sue for peace.
The acknowledgment that thhe Aus
trian armies were compelled to
meet the Russian assaults alone and
unsupported while Germany invad-
ed France, with the result that the
Austrian army was crushed by over
whelming numbers, has resulted in
storm o. bitter criticism of the
government.
The known losses are enormous.
and it is believed that they have
been far greater than the govern
ment will admit. So strong and bit
ter is the feeling that is is not be-
lieved the government can hold out
much longer against 1t. Unless Aus
tria sues for peace in the near flu
ture 1t will be very hard for the
government to prevent stormy
scenes, not alone in Vienna. but in
every big city in Austria-Hungary.
The admission is made that the
Austrians are unable to transport
the wounded. The Austrian Red
Cross has issued demand that all
automobiles within the country be
turned over to il to transport the
wounded to places where they can
be properly cared for. Every hospi-
tai in Vienna is filled with desper-
ately injured soldiers. All public
halls have been reQuisitioned and
are also full. Private houses are
now being utilized and still the long
trains of men, torn by shot and
shrapnel, continue to arrive here.
The Russian armies hurled across
the Galician frontier were enormous.
1t is estimated that the force which
moved against Lemberg and attack
ed-the Austrian armies that invaded
Poland numbered at least
] 100000 men. The Russian tactics
have been of the most modern type.

Austrian at full speed Although
he must have known well that victo-
ny by such tactics could be gained
only at the cost of his own life. he
dashed into the Austrian aeroplane
The force of the impact caused the
collapse OF both machines. which

Germany's War Color.

An invisible gray il worn by Ger

greenish tint and is said TO blend

in fact, with almost anything better
than any other color. Not only are
the kaiser's men clothed in these
suits. but their rifles, the cannons
and field pieces and carriages upon
which they rest are similarly color
ed. The German war chiefs are CON
fident that their troops are the least

poorest targets of any soldiers in the
world. i Brooklyn Standard Union.

Moreover, the enemy has left
upon the battlefield many wounded

Also in gaining ground We have

Every officer. subaltern and soldier
has responded to my call. All merit

other nations have known and prac-

and powerful weapon in the history

The Krupp mortar is the one
unique and astonishing product of
this age of fighting.
Mentioned by thousands the
Krupp mortar is known only by
few The gun was invented eight
years ago, but only those in the con-
ildence of the Krupps know who the
inventor is.
For eight years the Krupps work
ed at the secret while guarding It
with rigorous precautions. This year
they perfected it. This mortar fires
the largest and most dangerous pro-
jectile ever shot from weapon. In
making it no single workman work
ed on more than one small piece,
and one vital part of its machinery
was made in Austria
What was done at Liege and Ma
muir and which may soon be done at
Antwerp and Paris was this At
some distance from a fort a space
was cleared and Il great mortar set
in a concrete bed occupying a circle
with radius of 100 feet. Behind
the mortar and outside this circle
was a tunnel leading to subterra-
mean chamber. The great mortar was
sighted, the proiectile was set in
place and then the gunners retired
to their underground chamber. Here
they pressed button and the
mighty shot was fired
The explosion was terrible. Any
one within 80 feet of the gun at the
time of the explosion would be kill
ed. Even men in the neighboring
armies complained OF headaches and
toothaches from the jar
The projectile pierced through
one. two and three ordinarily i'm
walls and buried itself in
a fourth. Here it lay silent many
seconds, then exploded like volca-
no. bringing TO the ground in ruins
every stone which had stood upon
another.
