Vienna, via Rome, Sept. H.
There is an increasingly bitter feel
ing here against Germany and it is
an almost universal demand in po-
pular circles that the government
sue for peace. The acknowledge
ment that the Austrian armies were
compelled to meet the Russians alone
and unsupported, while Germany in
vaded France with the result that
the Austrian army was crushed, has
resulted in a storm of bitter criti-
cism against the government.
London, Sept. 11.-A key to the
outcome of what will perhaps be the
greatest battle in history, is still
raging on the plains of Champagne,
to the east of Paris, lies in successes

River Marine and are in a position to
follow up their success. They are
menacing the Germans constantly
with turning movement. They have
the support of the French forces left
on the banks of the River Ourcq, who
are ready to deal with any German
reinforcements that may be brought
into action.
