The failure to advance has greatly damped Austrian ardour, which had been inflamed by the call to relieve Przemysl. When the news of the fall of the fortress was-rande known it is said to have been greeted with cheers by many of the Aus- trians, who exclaimed that the war would soon end now, and that they could go home. No one who has seen or talked fo the prisoners taken on this front can fail to realize the tremendous blow to tho maral, already badly shattered, that the fall of the fortress administered to the entire Austrian cause.

There is a widespread opinion that Austria would gladly make an indeper- dent peace, but fears that, if she did, such action would be instantly followed by German invasion of Austria. The fear of the Germans and a belief in their absolute infallibility in military opera tions seems a universal and ruling idea wmong all Austriaos. It is the opinion of many that, if the Germans once receive an effective and for-reaching defeat, their Austrian allies will abandon all further effort to continue an active campaign.
Officers returning from the Carpathian front describe the same type of Austrian officers as I personally witnessed at Przemysl, and state that they have small care for their men and no pride whatever about surrendering when an opportu m í offered.
