EXTRAORDINARY CALLOUSNESS. VIENNA LIVES AS USUAL. Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, February 25. A neutral correspondent writes: - "Vienna displays almost corpse-like indifference to the chaotic fires burning luridly on the remoter confines of the Aiwtro-Hungarian monarchy. Austrian ollicrs gala-drssed and immaculate, in braided uniforms sit .in the cafes with leisured nonchalance, unconcerned that under their feet the realm of the Hap:;bitrgs is crumbling. They do not express sympathy with the thousands of homeless, penniless and starving Gaiicians and do not regret that a province has been lost to Anuria. The Asiatic note in the Viennese character partly accounts for the fatalistic, attitude and extraordinary complacency of all classc.i. Vienna is faced with an industrial war. but we live as usual. Our cafes and theatres are crowded, food is still plentiful and we are a much stronger people than we ever realised."
