AUSTRO-GERMANY.

THE IDOL WHINING. ARMY'S DECLINING MORAL. Amsterdam, Sept. 8. Hindenburg's manifesto, urging the nation to keep its spirits up, is an e.vtraordinary document. It does not comment on the military situation, which is the real cause of anxiety to Germany; instead it occupies two solid columns i in complaining about the so-called En- : tente poison and the dastardly sowing [of dissension and distrust among the | Germans. j The climax of Hindenburg's denuncia- ; tion is an angry wail that the Allies have attempted to stir up the Bavarians against the North Germans in order to destroy the Empire and plunge Germany into the helplessness of the Thirtv Years' War ! The manifesto is not likely to assist in the re-establishment of the FieldMarshal's tarnished popularity.' A daring newspaper has been prosecuted for nick-naming Hindcnburg Marshal Buekwaerts. which is a play upon Blucher's nick-name of Marshal Vorwaerts. Evidence is accumulating of the decline of the morale of the German army. At least 70,000 deserters are hiding in Berlin and other large cities. Leave from the front has been practically stopped, owing to the men failing to return to duty. It is no uncommon sight in Berlin to see deserters rounded up and handcuffed They sometimes' , endeavor to escape, and innocent bystanders are shot. These incidents accentuate tho collapsing of the civilian morale.—Aus. N.Z. Cable Assoc. SOCIALISTS AND WAR ALMS. Amsterdam, Sept. 8. Count von Hertling invited Herr Erbert, a Socialist deputy, to an interview the same day as the Vorwaerts published Erbert's article expressing the readiness of the German Majority Socialists to meet the Allied Socialists to discuss war aims.—Aus. N.Z. Cable As- < sociation.
