ANTI-WAR DEMONSTRATIONS IN AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
HEARTRENDING STORIES OF HARDSHIPS ON AUSTRIAN ROUT.
United Press Association. (Received 8.50 a.m.) London, December 17
-Reuter' states that Servians victory provoked demonstrations in the large cities in Austria and Hungary against the methods of carrying on the war, and denouncing General Potoriek. The police at Budapest dispersed the demonstrators. Details of the rout show that France supplied Servia with several of the most modern batteries and abundance of ammunition. The Austrians lost two entire army corps by casualties and prisoners. The latter include 400 Italians, whom Servia offered to send to Italy. Prisoners tell heartrending stories of the hardships. A number died from exhaustion and frost, many being foodless for seventy-two hours. Many Servians were also in a pitiable plight owing to lack of hospital appliances. •
