AUSTRIA

TO SUPPORT GERMAN LINES : 1_ CAVALRY SEVERELY HAKDLKD. Brussels. August 10. . Ihe fact that two of Austria's finest, army corps, tlio 14th from Immisbruick iiiid the 3rd from Graz, are being brought to the Rhine is regarded as proof that the Germans' position is gravely involved by tile failure at: Liege. The report of the surrender of' seven German regiments is not confirmed but the cavairy were severely handled, los-1 ing many. Tile enterprise i f the Ger man scouts is amazing. One of the prisoners rode seventy kilometres. The method is to ride in small parties with the object of seizing the passages of the Mouse. None of the attempts have succeeded. London, August 10 (morning). Two Austrian army corps are proceeding to the assistance of the Germans on the Rhine. One corps has readied Basle and the other Lake Constance.

The corps will proceed from Basle to Istein, where the Germans are encamped. The G-erman pontoon bridge over the Meuse was shot away.
