Russia should be able to follow up her

The most significant fact Of the Cali

on the contrary, as weakening their

Austria to retire from the conflict. It
would seem, however as II Austria
has power in reserve, and the most

TO create resentment by sneering at

Another explanation of Berlins
querulous attitude would appear as If

Whether such is the actual fact, cam

reason for scorning Vienna may be a
belief in Berlin that the Austrians

PRESENT HOLY WAR
BY HENRY WOOD.

CONsTANTINOPLE, Dec. 7-Via
Courier to Salonika, and Mail to New
York )-Enver Pasha prepared for
Turkeys Holy War by keeping Chris
tians out of the army. Almost to a
man the army Of half a million men
that the Ottoman minister of war
raised over night is composed OF Mus
sulmen. The reason is the presence
of Christian soldiers In the ranks
would have seriously interferred with
operations in a holy war
Christians swere welcomed in the
army in the last two Balkan wars.
The Mussulmen officers usually man
aged TO keep them out on the front
firing lines. They deported them
selves with such bravery, however.
that It seemed certain fair treatment
would be assured them in the future.
Enver studlously avoided accepting
Christians when he began the mo-
bilization of Turkeys new army. He
provided one loophole for them by
adopting the plan of eXempting all
from military duty who paid az
pounds to the government. His order
that every man between 20 and As
who did not pay that sum or Join the
army be shot, left no alternative.
Practically every Christian in the
country who was eligible for service
paid the exemption fee.
There we're some Christians who
could not raise the money necessary
for the exemption fee. They had
to enlist in the army to keep
from being shot These were care
fully kept out Of the real fighting
forces Of the Mussulmen and were
assigned 20 duty around the camp

RELIEF OF PRZEMYSL
BY The United Press.

VIENNA, Dec. 30--Emphatic denial
that the Austrian armies have been
completely routed, featured the Of
fetal War Office statement issued to-
day. II is frankly admitted that
the armies have been forced to with
draw. but this action, the statement
says, was due to the throwing Of enor-
nous numbers of reinforcements into
the main army which has been con-
testing in Southern Galicia in COM
pany with the Hungarian army,
which crossed the Carpathians. The
official reports declare that this army
has been withdrawn in good order,
bringing back its entire artillery and
transport. The losses have been
heavy, but not out of proportion to
the men engaged. The chief cause
for regret. il is stated, is that the
movement TO relieve Przemysl has
been abandoned.
In the northern section, the Aus
trlan lines are intact, the war Of
fee claims There has been a with
drawal at a number of points to
straighten out the battle line, but at
no point has there been any general
retreat. The Austrians continue TO
gain along the line Of trenches on
the Sromnik-P k-Porlice-Jabliska front,
according to the latest reports avail
able here. It is denied here that the
Russians have resumed their move
ment against Cracow.
In the Balkan theatre of war. the
official statements say there has
been renewed activity, especially on
tho part Of the Montenegrins. They
have repeatedly attacked Trebinje
but in every instance have been re-
pulsed with heavy losses. The Monte
negrins are still bombarding the Aus
