ACUTE CRISIS IN AUSTRIA

A late message from Sydney last evo'ning slated that there was a paucity of war news, and that nothirg was available from London. No reason is given for this suddei hold-\ip, and in tbe meantime curiosity regarding the later developments of tho British success in Mesopotamia must ■ rest. According to the uewe from tha Western front the Germans are getting very apprehensive about tho fatu of their Flanders naval bases, and are desperately but fruitlessly attacking. The Italians on the Baineizza Plateau have held the vow positions they won yesterday, and raised the "bag" of prisoners to over. 2(00. No material developments on the other main fronts are rapoi-tsd. Sull another air attack on London is officially reported. This time che raiders have made a lengthy stay. Hie Prtfce campaign for effective air reprisals has been revived, and iho "Daily Chronicle" hints .it ypsnhU action. .Dr. Alicliaolis's most resent ' speech seems to have been extramrly unfortunate for the general peace of mind of tbe obedient Fathwuiml, and already "Sfop-the-war" demonstv.v -tions hare been reported from Eseen, while Austria is facing a grave internal crisis.
