BITTER FEELING
IS INCREASING
Austrians Think Germans Deserted
Them, and There 10 Universal
Demand for Peace.

VIENNA. via Rome. Sept. IL
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 the Aus.
trian armies were compelled TO meet
the Russian assaults alone and unsup-
ported while Germany invaded France
with the result that the Austrian army
was crushed by overwhelming num-
bers has resulted in a storm OF bitter
criticism OF the government
That the government realizes an
other sweeping defeat by the Russians
in Galicia may force II Immediately TO
sue for peace, is indicated by the
presence at the front OF the Archduke
Karl Franz. the heir apparent TO the
Austrian throne. and Archducke Fran
els Frederick. The latter assumed
command of the forces in the field fol-
lowing the reverses at Lemberg. Both
archdukes are now reported as In
command OF the combined Austrian
German forces that are now engaged
in The vicinity Of Rawa Ruszka.

German Captain Tells Of Shooting Of
Youth In Belgian
Village.

Correspondent OF the Associated Press.
LONDON. Sept. 2.-One OF the most
vivid accounts Of an episode OF war
comes from the Lokal Anzieger Of Au-
gust "a. IL Is a letter from Paul
oskar Hoecker. a Berlin playwright
now serving as captain OF the reserve.
HIS play "A Nation in Arms" is being
given at the Berlin Opera House.
He describes mission on which he
was dispatched TO search for arms IN
Belgian villages In which shots had
been fired by civilians on German
troops His instructions were 10

their arms and those IN whose pos
session arms were found after they
declared that they had none were TO
be instantly shot
Describing a visit to Jungsbusch he
says that at one house were found an
OLD man, a woman and a girl Of IS.
Then a terrible thing happened.
= young sergeant and a private
, dragged a young fellow out of the
house They had found him hiding
among the straw In the loft He had
In his hand Belgian rife loaded with
five cartridges. From the opening of
the roof he may have aimed at many
an honest German The youth had 10
put his hands up. pStammering and
deadly pale he stands there.
Who Is this youth? l asked the
old man. AS IL struck by lightning
they all three fell on their knees wall
ing. The woman groaned. He is my
son. For Gods sake you are not go
ing to kill him. and a little girl
sobbed as II her heart would break.
The prisoner tried to escape. but was
put. up against the wall by the men.
II had to picture to myself by force
the German patrols riding through the
night with the bullets of treacherous
francstireurs whistling round their
helmets. and think OF the tall figures
and bright eyes OF our good German
fellows, in order to master my nerves
in face of this sorrow and fulfill my
orders.
HE has to be be shot. Three
men Ready
THE three men commanded who
were fathers OF families. two from
Berlin and one farmer. did not turn
a hair. This is a just business. We
had got a ruffian who merited no COM
passion. The volley rang out. The
trembling body collapsed TO the
ground and did not move again. Three
tiny holes were visible in the blue
blouse. The boys eyes are closed.
His face has not changed its express
sion. Death by our rifle is painless.
We ought to burn the old mans
house over his head said one OF my
men.
"'Quick march, | ordered.
The three peasants are still kneel-
ing on the ground; the corpse lies up
AGAINST the wall"

THE
MONSTER BATTLE
FRENCH AUTHORITIES BREAK
RETicENcE AND GIVE DE-
TAILED ACCOUNT.
Report Retirement Of German Forces
for Distance Of IS MiIes-Rain-
storm Causes pifficuities.

PARIS. Sept. IL. $40 D. m.-The
French military authorities. who
heretofore had confined the informa-
ton made public concerning the mill
tary operations east OF Paris TO Ia
comic statements very general IN char
acter. to-day gave a lengthy descrip-
ton OF the most important battle since
the beginning OF hostilities.
Evidently the left wing of the allied
armies facing the northeast have
borne the brunt OF the preliminary en-
gagements In which the British took
such a prominent part that they are
the object OF the highest compliments
on the part OF French military men.
The combat. according to the on
cial announcement. seems to be de-
veloping into an abandonment OF at
least the advance positions held by
the Germans. who. II Is announced.
are retiring along a greater part OF
the lines This retirement Is said to
have been for As miles at some points.
Furious onslaughts. sometimes by
the French and again by the Ger
mans, occurred about the center of
an extensive line in the vicinity of
Vitry lie Francois.
Not Successful.
Three great German armies com.
manded by General Won Kluck. the
Crown Prince Frederick William and
the Duke OF Wurtemberg, effected a
junction and repeatedly hurled them
selves against the French positions
with the greatest vigor. but they were
not able to achieve the seeming OBJ
jet OF breaking the allies center and
thus dividing the Anglo-French
armies.
The French and British offered an
equally vigorous resistance. eventual
ly compelling the Germans to with
draw. The fighting continued
throughout last night and the allies
position. It is understood. was i'm
proved to-day.
A rainstorm caused great difficult
ties in the Nasty districts but did not
stop the operations. The fusIllades OF
the troops and the artillery duel pro-
ceeded all day. II is believed the
retiring Germans suffered more than
the allies from the storm as their
Withdrawing columns were cucumber
ed with baggage and ammunition
wagons.
