IN AUSTRIA-HUNGARY
THE SITUATION ACUTE.
GREAT SHORTAGE OF FOOD. LONDON, February. 21. A well-informed Budapest correspondent, to the Morning Post, shows that the situation in Aus-tria-Hungary is acute, especially in the big’ cities. The situation at Prague is almost inconceivable. The city is absolutely without fuel, including the. hospital. At the famous Prague clinic all serious operations have been postponed. The appalling situation at Vienna, and Budapest can partially be realised from the fact that it is; officially admitted that there is 75 per cent less foodstuff;,, coming in than a few weeks, ago. Consequent, ly tons of thousands of people are literally starving, owing to the olosing of public kitchen's. Meanwhile the newspapers are full of telegrams from Berlin that Italy, France, and England are on starvation rations and that England must succumb. But the Austro-Hungarian populace is past oaring what happens to England. They want food.
