DESCRIBES PLIGHT OF
STARVING AuSTR|ANS
Party Of Rumanians Travelling
Through Vienna Appealed
to For Food.

Paris, tby maiD.--Hundreds of starry
ing Austrians i'll the capital city ef
Vienna recently surrounded a train un
which Il party of Rumanians was
travelling TO France and begged pit
eously for bread, according to the Ru-
manlans who have now arrived here.
The party asking FOR food gathered
about the train in the Hitting quarter
of Vienna where some of the most
well-to-do people live, said Captain
X. Rosetti, of the Hurnanian army.
Ihey told the Runaaninns that %turnips,
beets II potatoes Constitute almost
the only food of n large part of the
population OF Austria.
There were more than 800 men. wo-
men n children i'm the party tlls,
surrounded the train. said Colonel RIOS
Setti. n almost everyone expressed
horror at the continuance of the wa,
and bitterly rcproached Germany tor
the desperate plight i'll which they
found themselves.
Their faces We're pinched aad pale
and showed Enthusiastically that they
had borne intense privations and suf-
fering. Several among the number de
clared there must soon be a widespread
revolution in Austria if steps were not
taken TO feed the population.
Colonel Russetti offered one of those
who sought help 10 crowns. The
one was declined on the ground that
no food could be bought for it. Th.
Austrian. who in peace times was IL
prosperous storel,eeper. pleaded for
bread for his children. whom lie said
had nothing to eat for three weeks ex-
cept turnips and beets.
The German colonel in charge of the
train was so annoyed AT. the cries of
he hungry crowd that he gave orders
to have the train moved forward at
once to another part OF the CITY.
All passengers on the train l,ad, to
submit to a rigid search by the Aus
trian authorities n no ono was per
mitted to carry q. single scrap of pape,.
Madame Titelescu and several other
women passengers were temporarily
deprived of all their clothing and a
