Is threatened with disruption by the
rapid advance OF the Russians, who
have arrived mt Breslau, Germany The
fall of Bresau. fortified city Of j00,-

According TO a dispatch from Wen
ma. Austria was plunged into gloom
when official admission was made that
the operations against the Russians
had cost the Austrians one-fourth Of
the first line of effective fighting men.
The total loss in killed, wounded and
missing is estimated at 12j.000 men.
For the first time il became known
that the operations In Galicia and Rus
sian Poland as we'll, had been under
the personal direction of the Archduke
Francis Frederick. The hospitals. no
tells and public buildings OF Vienna are
filled with wounded. who are arriving
in great numbers in special trains
from Poland and Galicia.
At the embassies OF several Of the
belligerent powers the statement was
made that no official knowledge was
had Of any steps toward peace being
taken by any persons charged with
any responsibility in the present con.
expressed that the moment has not
yet come for serious discussion or
peace, as ii would be impossible at this
time for any OF the belligerents to sug-
gest terms possible to any Of the
others. II also was pointed out that a
premature peace might be much worse
than continuance of the present con-
flict, as IL might lead to later wars
To Compensate Belgium.
England will not now entertain any
peace plans which do not provide for
the fullest compensation to Belgium
for all her actual losses and all that
she has suffered by Germany's viola
ton of her neutrality. German assent
to this now is considered wholly out OF
the question.
There is general discussion in Lon
don of the possibility that England
may close the North sea. bockading il
completely, if the trouble with floating
mines continues.
The greatest apprehension exists
that the admittedly anti-foreign policy
OF the Young Turk party, which con.
trolls the Ottoman government, may
lead to the stirring up of an anti-Chri5-
tian spirit throughout the Mos.em en-
pire, resulting in uprisings in Euro
pean possessions In Africa and in Brit
ish India. II is certain. however, that
II the fanatical spirit is called int
play by the Young Turks in support OF
their efforts to throw off the influence
OF the powers, Italy will engage In war
against Turkey. while Greece, Bulga-
ria and Roumania will renew their CO.
a'ition against the Turk and In defense
OF Christianity

erations, the Austrian army defeated
