dispatch from Paris to Reuters lei
egram Company says:
"A telegram from Petrograd 10
:hc Matin states that persistent ru-
mors are current there that the
! larger part Of the Austrian armies
capitulated yesterday.
Dispatches from many sources. IN
Guiding Vienna, indicate that the Aus
| trian army in Galicia is in sore
straits. but the story of its complet.
destruction is evidently eXaggera-
ted, as the latest Russian reports in
dicate that General RusZky's forces
are still meeting with organized re-
sistance.
It is evident, however, from the dis
position of the combatants that the
Austrian center was crumpied up,

into the marshes of the River San.
This left wing, composed Of the
flower of the Austrian trops, may be
caught in trap. making uncondition-
al surrender the only alternative to
destruction.
