1EMBERGIN CHAOS
AS RUSSIANS TARE
GALIGIAN CAPITAL
l Austrlans, Civil and Mili
tary, in Pell-mell Panic,
Offer Scant Resistance.
People's Pathetic Plight.
TBTnoaRAD, Sept 80.
A prnplilc story of tlio full of lumbers,
Galtcla, Anit the acencs attenctlns tho
Ittisslnn occupation of tho city, hug Just
teen (riven to me by an KngHnhmun who
liaa arrived here after witnessing those
historic event.
"I nm ntt enKlner," said he, "and with
ft friend of the same callltiB had business
In Lembonr. Vp wcro not molested In
any way until about a week before tho
arrival of the Itusslans. nhen wo wero
suddenly snt for by the Austrian police,
placed under arrest and conveyed to
prison. Simultaneously all our money
was confiscated.
"Wo were lept In cells for four or flvo
days, durlns 'which tlmo absolutely no
food was fjlven us. Fortunately we re
eelved a small portion of drinking water
each day or the 'hunger strike' wouia
have been as complete as any undergone
by suffragettes In tho London Jails. On
the fourth or fifth day wo were released,
but we wero both so weak from lack of
food that wo could hardly stand.
"Just about the tlmo we wore released
word was received that the Russians wero
advancing upon tho city, and panic broko
out. The entire Austrian administration
fled precipitately.
NO DEFENSE ATTEMPTED.
"Defense of tho city was not attempted
at all. Tho Russians gave tho demoral
ised Austrian military- authorities three
days In which to surrender and evacuate
tho place so that tho Inhabitants would
be spared the horrors of a bombardment.
'On the third day a Russian aeroplane
made Its appearance over the city watch
ing for the Austrlans' departure. The
Austrlans fired upon the aeroplane, but
It returned apparently uninjured to tho
Russian lines.
"Then the Invaders made some show of
opening a bombardment. I should say
It was only a feint: at any rate, no shells
seemed to fall In the city. Surely tho
Russian gunners were not such bad
marksmen as all that,
i "The noise of the Russian artillery was
terrific, and It scared tho already panic
stricken townspeople almost Into hyster
ics. Thirty-five thousand persons. Home
of them residents of Lomberg, and others
refugees from the surrounding country,
bolted helter-skelter. The large Jewish
population of Lembcrg was particularly
frightened, as the Austrlans had sys
tematically circulated shorles that the
Russians would massacre the Jews.
"Families carrying a few of their most
raluable possessions fled pell-mell along
the road. Some had the advantage of
horse cirts, and a few had automobiles.
Weeping children, surrounded by their
traiful mothers, rushed about wild-eyed
with fear. Aged men and women, too
old for hasty flight, were Jostled by tho
younger refugees In the fright-filled mob.
''Rankers made their escape with all
the money belonging to other people, and
even the savings boxes of the poor were
broken open and tho money taken.
"Nobody was allowed to leave by train
for Vienna unless he or she could de
posit at the railway station the sum of
MOO kronen, which was 'to be returned
when tho depositor reached the capital.'
The reason advanced for this decision
upon the part of the authorities was that
the money was required as security for
the ability of tho Invading traveler to
meet the enormously Increased cost of
living in Vienna. Those seeking to go
to Budapest were compelled to deposit
1000 kronen. The cost of living there did
not seem to bo so high.
PITIFUL STREET SIGHTS.
"There were pitiful sights In the
streets, notably the spectacle of Austrian
soldiers, with woundeil bodies, hatlcss,
shoeless, and In rage, begging a crust of
bread.
"Numbers of them belonging to tho
Slavonic race got Into civilian clothing
and wcro to be seen carrying their uni
forms under their arms In bundles. They
ild they were going to burn them.
"The utter disorganization of the Aus
trlan military administration and the
s'alo of chaos Into which tho Austrian
war commissariat degenerated are be
neath criticism. The Austrian army Itself
proved to be disunited and an unwilling
mass of men that fell apart In the fnco
of danger. Many of them were only too
Klad to throw down their arms and sur
render When taken prisoner they fra
ternized like brothers with the Russians.
"The Russian army entered Iiemberg In
splendid condition. It was attended by
an enormous provision train, with every
requisite In abundance. The inhabitants,
especially tho Ruthenlan Slavs, met tho
t'zar's soldiers with dcmonstrotlons of
delight. The Russian officers were show
ered with flowers and men and women
kissed their hands
"Exemplary order was Immediately es
tablished by the Russians, soldiers being
used for police duty. The Russian com
mander visited the City Hall and de
clared that he wished to co-operate with
the local authorities. This system proved
so efficacious that the Chlff Deputy went
to the Russian commander and thanked
him.
"We ourselves were well treated by the
Russians, who lent us money and enabled
us to travel to this city. We made the
Journey free of nil expense, first class,
with a party of Russian ofllccrs. We
ere told that we would not be expected
to pay for anything, and the Russians
were offended when we tried."

Deadly Gas-filled Shells
Will Not Be Used Until
Germans Storm Paris, He
Thinks.
LONDON, Sept. 30.
W hcther the French are really using
turplnlte, the newest war terror reported
to be In possession of England's ally, is
a matter of great speculation In Eng
land. This new explosive, which has
aroused the greatest discussion through
out the world, Is declared to be so deadly
In Its effect that all life Is exterminated
within a radius of 400 yurds of one of
tho exploding shells. Regiments of Ger
mans nro reported to have been found
dead In their trenches, their rifles still
In their hands, not a mark on their
bodies, but with the long line of corpses
standing as though In life.
The Dally Express declares that a man
known to the editor for years, and who
Is generally well Informed, has written
as follows concerning turplnlte:
"The new explosive, Invented two years
ngo by M. Turpln, tho 'parent' Inventor
of melinite and lyddite. Is undoubtedly
the most terrific and most widely death
dealing high-power explosive ever known.
So lethal In Its effect Is the now shell
on explosion that should Its -use become
widespread whole armies. Indeed entire
nations, would be completely exterminated
In tho course of a few weeks. For this
reason Its use is probably prohibited by
articles of wnr, by tho international
Hugue convention, though M. Turpln him
self boldly claims this Is not tho case."
After telling of M. Turpln's dislike of
the French War Offlco and his grievance
folowlng the Government's acceptance of
melinite and lyddite, the Informant of
the Express tells how Turpln set to work
upon a new explosive, which ho endeav
ored to perfect, so that, as compared to
It, melinite and lyddite would bo prac
tically useless. He worked for years, had
a gun made himself, the parts being con
structed at different points and then
assembled, and directed the making of
the shells.
"The merest chance enabled me to wit
ness one of the early trials of tho new
explosive," the writer continues. "On a
stretch of sand 500 yards from high
water level, a temporary sheep fold had
been erected, about 400 yards square, unit
I ailed off with wooden hurdles. In this
space were a dozen sheep nnd a couple of
aged and worn-out horses.
"Ono of the horses was contentedly
munching away at somo hay and the
other was rubbing himself against one of
the hurdles, while the sheep were huddled
together In ono corner.
"This was what I saw through my
glasses when from a ridge some 2M0
yards away there came a sharp, loud
thud and the s'lrleklng sound of a small
shell. Just as though somebody had
taken a piece of silk and rapidly torn It
In two,
"There was an explosion In the open
spoco In the middle of the improvised
sheep-pen. The sheep were still huddled
In the corner, one of the old horses was
apparently leaning up against the rail
ing. The ono that had been munching
hay lay on his side.
"When ten minutes later I reached the
pen tho sheep looked for all tho world
as If they had been petrified. They went
mostly standing up, one against the
other.
"Three or four were lying down, but
all were dead, wth their eyes open and
lips hanging. It was absolutely ghastly.
Vet all of the animals, only the old
horse that had been munching hay, was
hit by a fragment of shell. The other
horse was half fulling, half leaning
agulnst tho fence, his forelegs stretched
nut forward, his hind feet doubled up
on the sand beneath him. Both had been
killed Instantly.
"There was a faint odor in the air,
which I can only describe as that glnu
oft by methylated spirit, yet mixed with
a pungent smell of methol. Later the
experiments were repeated on a much
larger scale at the French permanent
camps of Chalons and Mallly.
"For special reasons which It would be
unfair for me to dlvulgo at the present
moment, I nm strongly of tho opinion that
these shells havo not been usrd to any
eitont by the French armies In thn field.
I'rnbably an actual test under buttle con
ditions has been made once or twice, but
mi more.
"That this terrific explosive will, how
ever, be used In case of such an eventu
ality as an attempt to take Paris by
btorm. I have no doubt. But I am con
inced, despite the thousands of bombs
now prepared and the special apparatus
that are being cast, this explosive, a sin
gle uG-pound shell of which Is able to
kill so to speak 'petrify' every living
thing In n space of 4W square yards, will
not be used unless under very despcnite
circumstances, and only with the full con
tent of Franco's allies."
