FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1914. AUSTRIANS ADMIT LOSS OF 120,000 Suffer Awful Casu- alties in Galicia, WOUNDED REACHING VIENNA BY THOUSANDS Hospitals, Schools, Hotels and Public Buildings Filled to Overflowing. Vienna, via Rome, Sept. 11.—Aus- tria was plunged into gloom when of- ficial admission was made that the recent operations against the Russians have cost the dual erhpire one-fourth of her first line of effective fighting men. Simultaneously it became known for the first time that the operations in Galicia and Russian Poland have been under the personal direction of the Archduke Francis Frederick. The announcement stated that since the operations against Russia the killed, wounded and missing of the Austrian first line army totals the enormous number of 120,000 men. In addition, by reason of attack by over- whelming numbers of Russians, who have outnumbered the Austrians at all times, large quantities of army stores, ammunition and cannon have been lost. Thousands of Wounded. The hospitals, schools, hotels and public buildings of Vienna are filled to overflowing with an almost incredible number of wounded who are arriving in constantly increasing numbers on special trains from Poland and Galicia. So ‘great is the overflow of wound- ed from the battle lines where the Russians are reported as everywhere victorious in Galicia and so insuffi- gient. are.the -accommodations - here that thousands of wounded Austrians are being pushed right on through here to Baden and-several other sur- rounding cities. Archduke Francis Frederick 'is a cousin of Emperor Francis Joseph and succeeded the late Archduke Francis Ferdinand, whose assassina- tion is in reality responsible for the ‘war, as inspector general of the Aus trian-Hungarian armies. MANY WOUNDED; FEW KILLED French Report Says Loss of Life Is Not Heavy. London, Sept. 11.—The Bordeaux correspondent of the Exchange Tele graph company states that according to a statement made by a member of the health department in the ministry of war the war is not resulting in a very heavy loss of life. “Of every hundred men placed hors du combat only two are killed,” this official said. “Our wounded are nu- merous, but their injuries are gener- ally slight, most men being hurt in the arms or legs, and the wounds almost invariably heal rapidly. Many of those wounded already have returned to the front. However, our low mor- tality rate may be attributed in part to the poor aim of the Germans.” REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE GERMAN FORGES Paris, Sept. 11.—German reinforce- ments have arrived at the Germoan center and right and it is reported that the Lkaiser’s forces are making { a desperate effort to recover their lost ground. The main effort, as in each day of the battle up to the present, has been ainst the center. stretch of fifty s be- rancois and Montmi rail the fighting is unusually severe, i s that the The B heavily 1 orced by the troops with- drawa from the defense of Paris, who are not needed here at the present time. 3 All reports received here are of the most roseate character.

Even their fresh troops now arriving from the rear are declared to fail to display the spirit of early conflicts. Bubonic Plague Among Turks. London, Sept. 11—A dispatch to the Central News from Constantinople says that bubonic plague is causing pevere ravages among the Turkish troops at Smyrna and other stations. NO DETAILS OF LOSS OF BIG LINER OGEANIC London, Sept. 11.—The war office and the official press bureau gre strangely silent as to details of ‘the wreck of the White Star line grey- hound Oceanic off the north coast of Scotland. The statement merely said the big liner was wrecked and a total loss and that all oficers and crew were saved.
