AUSTRIAN GENERAL OUT;

Indignation Reported in Hungary
Over Failure to Defend Transyl-

resigned from his command on account
of i'll health. Emperor Francis Joseph
has accepted his resignation.
According to recent reports, Gen.
Pfanzer-Baltin was fntrusted with the

manian frontier.
LONDON. September 13.-The Morn
ing Posts Budapest correspondent says
there is intense indignation in Hungary
over the governments failure to pro-
vide against a Rumanian advance i'm
mediately after the declaration Of war
1.-The Rumanians reached important
points within the frontiers before the
people realized what was happening -
says the correspondent. There were
no Austro Hungarian soldiers to be
seen at most Of these points. and the
defense all along the frontier was un-
dertaken by gendarmes, railway men
and peasants. 1t is stated that the de-
fense of Transy1vania originally was
allotted to Gen. Pfianzer-Baltin, but he
had been given another command, and
since then nothing had been done-the
authorities simply trusted to luck In
the hope that Rumania would not, after
all, abandon her neutrality"

LESS BREAD FOR FIVE CENTS.
Consumer Says Weight of Loaf Has
Been Reduced,

To the Editor of The Star:
I do not quite understand what is
meant when you speak Of reports that
the prices of bread are to be raised in
Washington. You, of course, know
that while keeping the price at cents
per loaf, they have already reduced
the loaf from sixteen ounces to eleven
ounces, or an advance of 3-11 cents
per pound. SO that we are now paying
7 3-11 cents per pound Of bread. Are
we to be further taxed for this neces-
sity?
1 recently weighed loaf Of ono of
the best known brands and finding 1t
weighed but IL ounces, spoke Of 1t to
my grocer. who stated that was now
the standard" weight. and even men,
tioning 1t to q friend, was told tho
very Arm whose bread I had weighed
was furnishing 1t to a government in
stitution at about $40 per 100 pounds,
or for considerably less than half of
what the public pays.
Although the price OF -four has ad-
vanced materially. the fact that a bar
rel Of -four will make about 275 pounds
Of bakers bread (and water) the cost
does not begin to warrant such an ad-
vance as we are already paying, nor
anything approaching 1t, and to talk
Of q further advance should be resisted
by all fair means.

LONDON. September lathe Times
military correspondent discusses today
the probable strategy of Field Marshal l
Won Hindenburg. the new German chief
Of staff. under the caption "Rumania's s
Danger"
The writer expresses the belief that
the German leader will adopt a de-
fensive policy in the west and gather
an important army for an attack on
Rumania in an effort to repeat Ger
many's performance against Serbia
I'VE allies" he says, must in this
case come to the aid Of Rumania with
all our might. This does not mean
that we should allow our strategy to
be DETECTED. but rather that the settled
plan Of the allies should be pursued
with increasing energy and determine
ton. To fly about the world to any
point where Won Hindenburg Is beyond
us is an act Of folly. The best means
Of helping Rumania is by continuing
on all fronts our general attack with
increasing means and increasing OBJ
stinAcy. Our main efforts must be on
the principal fronts where our main
armies stand"
