THINKS US INHUiiAN
Opinions Concerning Lynchings
and Water Cure Are
Unchanged.

Washington, D. c.. Oct. 3.-A. Rus
tenn Bey, the Turkish ambassador, has
left Washington for New York, and
today is on his way to Turkey. In a
statement before leaving, h ambas-
sador said that he was quitting the
United States on leave of absence at
his own initiative.
He explained that this step, which
he had undertaken without comforting
with his government, with which he
had not been in communication, was
the result of the attitude of the United
States toward statements he had made
comparing %lynchings in the United
States and the water cure" in the
Philippines to massacres in Turkey.
When government officials indicated
that an explanation or modification Of
the minister's view would be welcomed
by the United States, Rustem Bey no.
tilted the secretary of state that his
opinions were unchanged.

AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT
IS CONSIDERING MOVE

Rome (via Paris), Oct. "a deep i'm
preston has been produced by a re-
port circulating in diplomatic circles
here to the effect that the Austrian
government. in view of the present ses-
sion, is urging Emperor Francis Joseph
to transfer the curt and seat of gov
ernnent either to Prague or Salzburg.
1t is asserted that the emperor dis
likes the project because of the dis
comfort it would produce throughout
the empire.
Prague is better adapted for a pro-
visionai capital. but it is objected to.
it is said. because of hostility of the
Bonemians. At Salzburg the emperor
would have a magnificent castle as a
residence. but there would be poor ac-
o~onllnodations for the government Off

Austria Says She's Licking
Servia and Serbs Come
Right Back With a
Counter Claim.

London, Oct. 5.-The first Austrian
staff report with any details issued by
Field Marshal Potiorek gives flat de-
NAL to the Servians' vivid stories OF
victory, but it is only fair to say that
the Serbs are equally emphatic in Civ
ing the lie to the Austrian claims.
According to Field Marshal Potiorek
the process of clearing up the Servian
litter in the province of Bosnia is pro-
crossing apace. while the Austrian Of
fensive in Servia is proceeding salts
faCtorily.
The Servians and their M~ontenegrin

his troops were needed to guard the
frontier. Today Bukowina, which is
just as Rumanian as Pennsylvania, is
occupied by Russian troops and has
been declared a Russian province.
This policy Of King Charles will
give him in history the role of a traitor
to the interests Of his country, all
though he is a hero in his staunchness
to the Hohenzollern and Hapsburg ira
ditions.
IF his policy is persisted in it will
mean that the Rumanians in Trans
sylvania will shortly be delivered from
the Austrian yoke by Russia and
henceforth incorporated in the Russian
empire"
