Notwithstanding these claim, it is
evident Hint large bodies of Turkish
troops still arc on Itussiau noil, and
the recent statement from I'elrograd
that nn overwhelming defeat has been
inflicted or. the Turks, involving the
capture of one nnny corps and the
cutting up of another, is denied of

LeoMild von Herchtold, Austrian for
eign mini-tcr, has re-igucd ami his

conling to the Vienna Frcmdemblatt.
Count Von Herchtold will be succeed
ed by Huron Stophnn Hitrinn Von

the lliinguiiun cabinet.
Count Von Herchtold wn one of
tho main factors in the situation
which led to the Austrian declaration
of war on Servin, which in turn pre
cipitated the Kuropean war.
As Austrian foreign minister,
Count Von Horehtold was largely re
sponsible for formulating the policy
which resulted in the declaration of
war on Sorviu. On several occasions
recently it has been reported unoffic
ially that he would resign. The ap
pointment of n Iluiigiiiiau to succeed
him in control of Aiistiinii foieigu af
fairs is believed to indicate Hint
henceforth Hungary will assume n
more prominent place in shaping the
policy of (ho dual monarchy during
the war.
