were temporarily abandoning the
city, which has taken on the appear
ance OF a gigantic armed citadel.
10000 Troops Sent

900 troops and gendarmes armed
with rifles, bayonets. machine guns
and artillery. The governor of low
err Austria assumed command of the
security forces. Under the direction
Of the chief OF police troops were fir
ing round after round of ammuni-
