RIOT AT A RUMOUR.
VIENNA, August 24.
The slightest provocation suffices to create awkward situations in the premat nervous tension of the popula tion. A whirlwind of demonstrations seems to arise and die as quickly. For example, three thousand un- employed, dissatisfied with the dole which was recently increased, were peacefully demonstrating at the Parlia ment house when a baseless rumour (by or about the) socialist leader Adler was circulated. The crowd there- apon forced an entrance, emashed the furniture, and used the fragments as weapons against the police. They demolished the balustrada around the building. The Police drew their swords and dispersed the disturbers.
~ WAR DER ra.
VERY IMPORTANT AMERICAN DISOLAIMER.
WASHINGTON, August 24.
A further contribution to the war debts controversy was made by Mr. Mellon, the Scoretary of the Treasury. He stated that the suggestions that Britain's liability to Amerion had been incurred on behalf of the other allies was evidently based on a misapprehension. He declared on the contrary that the United States had not required any government to give an obligation for advances made to cover purchases for other governments, Thus the advances to Britain were to cover ber own purchase.
