AUSTRIANS RIOT ON
NEWS OF DEFEAT
Hostile Crowds March in
Streets and Are Dis
persed by Military.

Rome, Dec. 16-According to reports
from Austrian cities the political situa-
tion in the Dual Monarchy is approach
ing a critical stage.
These reports. which are regarded as
worthy of credence, set forth that, fol,
lowing the news of the defeat inflicted
on the Austrians by the Servians, the
situation became grave, and was rem
dered more acute by internal disorders,
especially at Vienna, Budapest and
Prague.
At Vienna a large crowd gathered W
the Ringstrasse and marched TO the
Foreign Office and the War Office, the
people calling loudly in protest against
the way the war is being conducted.
At Prague there were demonstrations
which assumed Separatist character
Bohemians. who do not desire to see
their sons killed for German or anti
Slav interests, did not hesitate to eX-
press their views.
At Budapest the demonstrations were
more violent and developed into a m ost
riot. The principal streets of the
city had to be cleared by the police,
and. while attempting TO make its way
to the Ministry of Defence. the crowd
cried Down with Potiorek!" General
Potiorek is one of the Austrian COM
manders.

VOTE CONFIDENCE
Premier Again Says Pol
lev Is One OF Watchful
Neutrality.

Rome. Dec. ia vote of confidence
in the government and its policies was
adopted almost UNANIMOUSLY yesterday
By the Chamber of Deputies.
Previous to the vote Premier Salan-
dra delivered a speech to the Deputies,
in which he reaffirmed his statement
made in q previous address that ltaly's
position was one Of watchful neu-
trality. He said that nothing had hap
pened to warrant any change IN that
position.
What can guarantee" he declared,
ais that the government will follow a
purely Italian policy, but in saying this
do not mean that we will disregard
the policies of the great powers or the
grouping of the powers fighting for
the supremacy of the world. Italy IS
satisfied in protecting her noble trsdl-
tions and preparing for her great tut
ure."
The Premier refused to make any
predictions, as some members urged
him TO do. He said that the govern
ment would be incere, and that II II
made mistakes these would be paid FOR
by the country.

Russia's Attitude on Slav

High Authority.

have been in circulation for some time

20 conclude a separate peace agree
ment with Russia without the consent
OF Germany meet with emphatic de-
mails in official circles here. A person
in "a position TO speak authoritatively
on this subject gave two basic reasons
why, in his opinion, such an arrange

"The Dual Monarchy IS bound to
Germany by indissouble ties and has
assumed such obligations that she is
helpless until released by Germany"
said this authority.
Furthermore, the Russian attitude
as announced Vt the beginning Of the

from the German yoke. Therefore
Russia's demands are such that If the

Germans Plan to Cut Road
Between Lodz and Warsaw

Warsaw. Dec. l6.-While the second
German attempt to reach Warsaw has
resulted in failure. it is a fact that
the Germans have begun a rapid con-
centration of their forces at the eX-
IRENE left of their LowicZ-llow front,
practically on the banks of the Nistula.
They are said TO have thrown bridge
across the river to the southeast of
Plock. and it appears that they are pre-
pairing 10 cross the Nistula to the rear
of the Russian line, running between
Plock and a point south Of Mlawa. or

and the river.
This new German concentration IN
such force. IL is believed by COM
pcteEt Russian observers here. also
constitutes an effort 10 drive wedge
back Of Sochaczew, thirty miles west
of Warsaw, with the idea of cutting
railroad communication between LODI
and Warsaw.
This movement has been met by
strongly reinforced Russian column
which. during the last several days, has
been slowly forcing the Germans back
in the vicinity of Sochaczew. Here
the fighting has been severe, each side
making repeated attacks and counter
attacks.
Bombs Dropped on Warsaw.
Little apprehension of the outcome
Of the fighting in the immediate
vicinity is evident in Warsaw, where
business houses are open and the
streets thronged as usual. The infre-
quent flights of German aeroDlanes on
bomb dropping expeditions continue,
but the people of Warsaw apparently

total of twenty-siX bombs have been
dropped on the city of Warsaw. The
most serious results followed the fall
ing of such a missile in crowded
tenement district, where eight people
are reported 10 have been killed and
several wounded.
In the north Of Poland the Germans
appear 10 have directed their aerial
efforts 10 the destruction OF railroad
terminals, where number of their
bombs have fallen.
Further extensive preparations have
been made to protect the city against
possible German attacks. Reinforce
ments amounting to five army corps, or
about 100000 men, arc arriving here
from interior points. Many of these
are first line troops, with full con
tingent of artillery.
CracOw Population Flees.
Arrivals here from Cracow report
that the civil authorities of the Aus
trian fortress have gone 70 Vienna
and that the middle class population is
fleeing into Hungary.
Gangs of workmen and soldiers are
said to be busy preparing intrench
ments and barbados of all descrip-
tions. Art treasures have been taken
70 places of safety and the Museums
and schools have been converted into
hospitals.
The newspapers at CracOw have sus-
rended publication. and the absence of
news is reported to be increasing the
alarm of the inhabitants.
