AUSTRIANS KEPT IN IGNORANCE
SUICIDE OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF
London, Oct. 2
Austrians of all ranks at Cattaro are kept in ignorance of the progress of events, and are not even allowed to know what is happening in adjoining centres, because of covert disaffection and constant fears of betrayal.
An Austrian train was smashed because the guides betrayed it to the Montenegrins. Blame for the selection of the guides fell on the Austrian Chief of Staff, who learned of the defeat by telephone, and when it was confirmed by telegraph committed suicide.
