of bitter criticism of the government.
That the government realizes anoth-
er sweeping defeat by the Russians in
Galicia may force it Immediately to
sue for peace, is indicated by the pres
ence of the Arch Duke Karl Franz, the
heir apparent to the Austrian throne,
at the front and Arch Dpke Franz, the
Frederick. The latter assumed COM
| mand of the forces in France follow
ing the reverses at Lemberg. Both
arch dukes are now reported as in
command of the com bined Austro-
German forces that are now engaged
| in the vicinity of Rawa-Ruszka
The known losses are enoromus and
| it is believed that they have been far
greater than the government will ad-
NIT. So strong and bitter is the feel
| ing that it is not believed the govern
ment can hold out much longer against
it. Unless Austria sues for peace in
the near future. it will be very hard
| for the government to prevent stormy
/, scenes, not alone in Vienna but in
| every big city in Austro-H Hungary.
The admission is made that the rail-
roads are unable to transport the
wounded. The Austrian Red Cross
last night issued a demand that ali
automobiles within the country be
turned over to 1t to transport the
wounded to places where they can be
properly cared for.
