THE COUNTRY FROM WITHIN. [United Press Association.] (Received 1.45 p.tn.) London, May 28. Tl}c Daily Chronicle says a neutral traveller describes the condition tluoughont the beleaguered Empire. The Austro-Germaiis are mostly dining at restaurants and the cheaper houses, while crowds attend at the cafes and beer houses. Actresses are prohibited at the music-halls, where they are entirely male performers, who are specially exempted, and which are frequented by the soldiery for drinking purposes. The prices of clothes are almost normal. Iren discipline checks food riots. The war prisoners are numerously employed in the fields. French wines are largely sold, and it is believed it has been stolen from the occupied territories. There is a marked change in the attitude of the people, who are now full of admiration for the Russians and French, but they regard the Italians as traitors, and uncompromisingly hate the British.
