THE HAGUE, Sept. 16.
IAdvices received from Berlin
| this afternoon indicate q feel.
ing Of general unrest there.
There is so much dissatisfac-
/ ton with the meaqreness OF
| official news that a number OF
newspapers on behalf Of their
chenille, opened protest. This
! is the case so far as the news
paper Vorwaetz is concerned.
It is the chief organ Of the so
cialists and probably the most
influential Of their newspa-
fpers. IN its Issue today i
frankly declares that the gov
ernment must be more frank
with the German people if it
expects their uninterrupted
support.
AS an instance it cites Off
cial reports received from
Vienna and made public here
in which, while admitting
the Austrians have been de-
feated in northern Galicia,
emphasis is put especially on
the declaration that the Serv-
ians have been forced to re-
tire across the Save river.
The Vorwaetz says: The
evident attempt to make this
a victory for Austria is an at
tempt to hoodwink the pub
lie. They should not conceal
the truth.
