AUSTRIA BEGINS MOVE TO QUIT;
 RETREAT TO RHINE LOOKED FOR
Concentration of Hun Troops to Expedite Flight to Ger
 man Border-C Charles of Austria Calls on Kaiser to Return Troops-Plan Similar to That Followed By Bulgaria Before Surrender.

Military observers are of the opin- ion that Germany will not give up the Bulgarian stretch of the Orient rnil- way without desperate struggle. For such a struggle FieldMarshal von Mackensen is gathering whatever Teutonic troops he can scrape to- gether.
 A report published by the Koel- nische Volks-zeitung yesterday that fighting is proceeding south of So- fla" implies to some military critics that a clash has occurred between Mackensen's troops and Bulgarians. It is not probable that Teuton troops have come in contact with General d d'Esperey's Allied forces. At last accounts the British were 50 miles south of Sofia.
 The military situation in Bulgaria is not clear, but a great battle for the Nish- h-Constantinopl sector of the Berlin -Bagdad railway is expected at any moment. The Bulgarians have begun the evacuation of Serbia Anti German riots are growing in Sofia.

AMERICAN MOTOR LAUNCHES GUARD
 FRENCH COAST

A French Atlantci Port, Oct. B. Correspondence of The Associated Press)-France in her work of safe guarding the coast from mines and submarines is using a large number of motor launches of the standardized American type which came over un- der their own steam with a loss of on- ly one out of fifty.
 One of the most successful boats used for the work is the canonniere which, working with Diesel engines, can steam 5000 miles at ten knots an hour without refueling, and so could cross to the United States under its own power. The craft carries guns big enough to deal with any sVbma- rine, as well as depth charges, and its low draught enables it to travel over minefields that would wreck a destroyer. The average size of this vessel is about 400 tons.
 For mine-sweeping the French use an economical form of trawl. The sweep is lowed astern, being held out by floats, and the trawl itself has ingenious underwater appliances for keeping 1t at the required depth, and new device for cutting a mine adrift whenever it touches the trawl line.
