TRY VO FRATERNIZE, Petrogvad, Oct. 12.—Austro-German | troops are renewing their attempts to, fraternize with the Russians, but so far all the efforts have failed, accord- ing to the statement issued by the Pussian ws:r office. The general situ- ation is quiet although some cossack | units still act with some suspicion to- ward the commanding Staff. The ques- tion of peace is said to agitate the great mess of Russian soldiers. At some places there is agitation against the capital punishment, Lut at the same time demands are made that punishment in the rear of the fighting front be enforced with great strict- ness. The cases where orders are not carried out are comparatively tare, soldiers wh) refuse tg obey orders usually being brought to trial. The war office announces with re- gret that the evil influence of the gen- darmes and the police still assert it.! Complaints of want of discipline! among the recruits are still numer- ous. FLEET INACTIVE. London, Oct. 12.—The inactivity of the German fleet in.the Baltic sea re- cently, when there were obvious op- portunities for attacking Russia, ac- cording to a dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from Amsterdam, was due to the mutinous outbreak in- the Ger- man navy. The outbreak affected six important units of the fleet, putting them out of action, and causing the authorities to doubt the discipline and loyalty of other crews of large ships. It was impossible, the dispatch adds, to take stern’ measures qn a large scale ‘against the offenders, because they would have increased the evil. FRESH ATTACKS.
