The road they travelled was marked

by wrecks OF wagons and by still
worse wrecks OF men driven insane
by sufferings. I saw the Austrian
army transformed almost in a day
from a body Of conquerors into a
staggering. dlsorganized mass. Its
retreat was a rout For 40 miles
from the frontier the country is de-
serted and as silent as the tomb.
Hundreds Of residents OF servian
towns have been executed. on No

correspondents then with the army
into Servia to show them how the
enemy's lines had been driven back
We travelled $50 miles into the north
west corner OF the country. Eighteen
towns we passed were utterly desert
ed. In every one / saw one or two
walls marked by bullets fired at the
execution OF inhabitants. Austrian
and Hungarian officers denied that
women had been executed but they
admitted such a fate had befallen
hundreds OF men.
"The Austrians promised to take
us into Belgrade on November rs
but their plans suddenly changed.
We were hurried out OF Servia in
wagons. There was no explanation.
After leaving the wagons we were
loaded onto a train and taken to
Budapest. There huge wagons filled
the roads In them were madmen
and wounded. Then we discovered
that the Servians were advancing.
