FAMINE AT TRIESTE
PEOPLE IN DANGEROUS MOOD
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Associatior
ROME, May 15.
The gravity of the internal conditions in Austria is illustrated by a meeting of representatives of all classes at Trieste, demanding succour. The notice calling the gathering stated : "Trieste is without reserves or resources. We refuse to die of starvation . Even people who were rich before the war now live by begging and public charity. Malnutrition and hunger prevent the workers doing their daily tasks. The statistics of the sick and' the dead are terrifying. The city declines and will become a cemetery. If the Government will not provide, for the inhabitants they will" not die of stawation, but would prefer any- other death."
