RUSSIAN REPORTS C'ENlED
Austrian War Office Says Their Claims
Are Untrue.

Vienna, July A statement issued
by War Press Headquarters denies
Russian allegations regarding the num-
ber of prisoners taken, ETC., and deals
especially with the Russian report OF
June q which announced that more
than $4,000 men had been captured,
together with 219 guns and 644 ma
chine guns.
The statement says it has now been
possible to establish details which
could not be verified during the first
days OF the Russian offensive. In
modern warfare, 1t is pointed out,
losses of more than 25 per cent. are in
no wise uncommon, but it is declared
that the Austrian troops lost at the
most from II to 20 per cent, dead,
wounded and prisoners, showing that
there was no need for Austrian uneasi-
ness
IF We had actually lost 100000 pris-
oners, says the statement, 'it would
mean, with addition of commensurate
quota of dead and wounded, that we
would not have single soldier left
either in Volhynia or on the Dniester.
Thirtysix guns of modern pattern fell
! into the hands of the enemy. They
had been blown up or otherwise des-
troyed. The number of built-in guns
of old pattern. abandoned to the Rus
slams is only greater by few"
The statement says the alleged mum.
her of machine guns Is high "even for
! Russian reports" The number OF
such guns which had been delivered to
| Austrian troops in substitution for
guns lost or used up. it is asserted
was not one-sixth of the number which
the Russians have reported taking.
The statement also declares that the
| Russians have frequently reported de
tails of battles that never occurred
and that even subordinate Russian
leaders often permit themselves poetic
license in their reports"

Etiquette.

The very high sounding word eti-
quettc had very humble origin, for
ctlouctte meant simply II label 1t de.
rived its present meaning from the
fact that Scotch gardener who had
laid out the grounds ut Versailles for
Louis XIV. was much annoyed at the
courtiers walking over his newly made
paths and at length had labels placed
10 Indicate where they might walk. At
first these labels were ignored, hut n
hint from high quarters that In future
the walks of the courters must he
within the "etiquettcs' or labels was
promptly attended to. TO keep within
the "etiqucttcs" came to mean to do
the correct thing.
