Bj' Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright d'Tlmes" and Sydney "Sun" Servicea.)
i London, April 14. In the Houbb of Commons, Lord Robert Cecil (Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs) said that no official information was available as to the condition of Serbia. Unofficial reports indicated that the Austrian troops were not maltreating the population, though possibly there were isolated outrages by Bulgarian irregulars. The British Government was anxious to do anything possible, consistent with the paramount military considerations, to relieve distress, but ho desired emphatically to state that it was the duty of the occupying Power to provide for the wellbeing of the population; and he protested against the spirit of, callousness which had attempted to blackmail Britain and her Allies into replenishing the'supplies by deliberately starving the population.
