The demoralized Austrian defend

the giant offensive started June 4.
Approximately 10000 men and Off
GERS have been imprisoned to date.
In actions such as the Russians are
engaged the estimate OF the conserva-
tive critics is two killed OF injured
for every prisoner. This would mean
that a total Of 100000 Austrians have
been put out of the fighting since
June 4 The Austrian army on the

is to this section the reinforcements

Officials today were inclined to the
belief that the rapid spread of feeling
among tho natives against continued
stay of the punitive expedition be-
yond the border is due to a systematic
propaganda Of enemies OF the de facto
government.
Consuls in some instances reported
mass meetings in many towns Some
army officials claimed to see in this
organized propaganda. the hand OF
Felix Daz and his hackers, with.
perhaps, aid from remnants of the
old Cientifico party that so long held
old Porfirio Diaz in power and which
gave its last show of real organized
strength during the brief Huerta
regime.

today that no call for additional
