VIENNA, October sO.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press Ten light
operas. two dramas, two MILITARY farces
and two comedies; splendid fall weather,
large crowds on the Ring and the Kart
nerstrasse, the announcement that the
Austro- Hungarian bank had materially
reduced the rate of interest on all loans,
, and an official statement that on account
OF the enemy's superiority of numbers, the
allied German Austro- Hungarian troops
had been Obliged to fall back from Ivan
gorod-these were features OF the day ON
which an Associated Press correspondent
arrived In Vienna, bound for the Polish

About six score OF German artillerymen

poorest households. Moreover, the ad-
