not mean the Austrians here being
detained but that the mere physical
ditficultie of arranging their passage
will consume some time.
A night ani day guard has been
thrown about the embassy here to
protect its occupations against pos
sible violence by irresponsibles. Mem
bers of the Austrian corps already are
practically ready to leave Anticipat-
ing the break several days ago, the
