DRIVEN TO CANNIBALISM BY FAMINE
SENSATIONAL STOUT FROM AUSTRIA. London, May 21. Mr. Soften Delmer, writing, from the .Franco-Swiss frontier, gives a sensational 'story of famine and cannibalism in Austria. Ho vouches for the authentictiy of his informant, who said that an issue of tho Vienna no\vspaper "Arbeiter Zoitung" ("Workers' Times") was confiscated because it demanded an investigation into two horrible cases of murder of prisoners of war by workmen at the Yionna gasworks, who ate parts of the bodies. The cases were mentioned in Parliament, but were hushed up. One woman who was unable to obtain milk dashed out the brains of her baby in tho presence of the Mayor. Soldiers beg for peelings and remnants of food. Tim most; dismaying feature is that tho threo scarcest months are still ahead.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
