WAR OFFICE SILENT
Ma Officials Information of Setback
of Muscovites--wi Withdrawal May
Have Been Tactical.

London, March PA Russian
army at the eastern end OF the Aus.
trian battle line has suffered re.
:erse according to reports received
here today.
While two Slav armies have pres
sed forward successfully to invade
Hungary, the forces of General Iva
noff have been beaten back from
Czcrnowitz, capital of Bukowina, and
driven several miles north of the
Pruth.
a semi-ofIicial statement from
Vienna today reported that the Rus
Sims have been thrown back across
the Pruth and driven nearly to the
Dneistcr, twenty miles to the north.
While advices from neutral sources
90 not confirm this Bucharest re-
port received here from Rome today
indicated that General Ivanoff had
heen compelled to evacnate Sadagora
north Of the Prelth, and had been pres
sea back against the frontier Of Rus
sian Bcssarabia.
The Petrog,ad war office for seve-
raj days has remained silent about
the progress of the small Russian
force that crossed the Pruth on pom
iooE bridges and pressed in on Ger
f,owitz from the west. A Bucharest
dispatch today reported that the Aus
,ri:n garrison at Caernoy;tz. by u
quick march threw superior force
against the Russian invaders, drove
them back across the Pruth. and then
crossed the river themselves taking
UP a position on the north bank.
Other Austrian forces crossed the
piuth north Of Czernowitz defeated
the main army Of General Ivanof at
Sadagora, and pressed the Russians
hack for several miles. This move
ment probably explains reports from
English correspondents in Roa-
mania that the Russians Evacuated
Czemowltz.
No official confirmation has been
lecciver here, but military experts
admitted that withdrawal Of the
Russians striking against Bukowina
may have becoIne necessary ut this
time.

BULGARIA WARLIKE
Italy. Failing in Negotiations With
austria, Seems Ready to PIunse
Into Hostilities.

London, March 2i-The Exchange
Telegraph Company has received Il
dispatch from Athens saying that
Field Marshal Won der Goltz who
has been in Constantinople: for
months, representing German mill
tary interest, has left the Turkish
capital for Sofia, Bulgaria. At the
::ame time, General Linan Won Sam
ders, the commander of the Turkish
forces in Europe, has left Constan-
tinople for Adrianopk.
Field Marshal Won der Goltz was
the first military governor OF Bel
c,ium. He was sent to Constantinople
from Belgium the latter part Of 1914
% advise in the matter Of the con-
d:ct of the Turkish campaign. Gen
,,ral Won Sanders has been identified
aith the Turkish army for several
,'ears.
The departure Of these two Off
GERS from Constantinople, one 1oa'
Sofa, the capital Of Bulgaria, and
:he other for Adrianople, the second
most important city in European
turkey and not far from the Buiga-
rjnn frontier, indicates some sudden
development in the Balkan situation
wh:ch is causing Turkey concern. 1t
may indicate q definite break has
come at last and that the power OF
The Germans in Turkey is over.
That being the case, Generals 9on Der
G3ltz and Linnan Won Sanders would
::aturaliy be recalled to Germany,
md both would pass on their way
Ihrouch Adrianople and Sofia.
\ break OF this kind would be the
:ienal for peace between Turkey and
he allies, by means OF which the
Sultan and his ministers would seek
10 save their country from destruc-
ion. and Constantinop!e from fall
i!g utos'the hands Of the Russians.
I'be sudden leaving of the two osh-
.frs is taken in some quarters to;
Mean that Burearia has preclpltated
. crisis and King Ferdinand is about
% declare war on Turkey and strike
hoping to realize ambitions
u-hich failed 1T the close OF the last
!;alkan war.

rom Athens said the Turks were

AUSTRIA SUFFERS
FROM ARMY FRAUDS
Inferior Food, Thin Cloth
and Paper Boot Soles
Furnished
MANY MILLIONS LOST
Isich Men Fill Jails-Budapest Fac.

Streets All Night for Bread.

/ Budapest, March 27--Army CON
: tract frauds may be common to all
! he!ligerent countries but what has
been done in Hungary in this regard
! teats all previous achievements.
. First of all the scandal began at
Szogod, where nine of the most pro-
;ninent wholesale dealers of the city
were arrested for bribing a first lieu-
tenant and one other officer who
made it possible for them to supply
.he army with inferior foodstuffs for
high prices. Those men were hardly
under lock and key when it was found
cut that number Of the boot manu-.
facturers, who were army contrac
Tors for 100000 pairs Of boots. mad
furnished them with paper soles.
TIE soldiers wore them in dry wea-
weather ten days. In wet weather
IL was two days before the so!es
simply melted away from the tops.
4 dozen other wealthy and inf1uen-
rial manufacturers were arrested,
this time in Budapest. Two days
later still more extensive fraud was
discovered. This time number Of
criminals were concerned, and they
Exceeded 100. Among them We're off,
GERS, members Of the municipal and
legislative body and rich and intlu-
.ntial men, manufacturers who drove
up to the police station in private
KS. These Incn were army con-
tractors for khaki. They bribed Off.
"crs in charge Of the stores and de-
livered material dyed khaki color
,.rd Of thin and inferior quality,
forth three shillings yard, at 13
and IA shillings yard.
Cells of the police headquarters
IRE now filled with these men Of
wealth and position. so the ordinary
daily criminal gang had to be in
stalled elsewhere to make room for
,hcm. There are some among them
who made more than $500,000 on
the fraud and the sum involved eX
cccded Sl0.O00,000. The papers are
furious aDd the people urge the au-
thorities to pass death sentence on
lho criminals.
Conditions here are growing worse
AID now one can see poor women by
the hundreds standing in lines before
bakers and grocers' shops at nine
O'Clock in the evening to get q. pound
Of flour or loaf Of bread, at eight
Inc next morning. To see these weak
sick. wretched women freeze all
night in the street for loaflof bread
in the morning for which they have
20 pay an exorbitant price, makes
ones heart almost stop beating.
The only consolation offered them for
all this is that Germany is not Starv-
ina but that England, in consequent
g of the submarine blockade, is on
the verge of starvation. There Is!
no drama that could proc'ce such
3r effort on an onlooker oS these 81
lent. suffering mothers.

Probably the happiest Pythian in

the fact that the grand lodge
