CAROLINA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 10.14 (EIGHT PAGES) NUMBER U RIOTING IN AUSTRIA Vienna, Pet). 14. ? Socialists fought sullenly today against gov ernment forces In an apparently lost cause. The civil war between themand 'the government of Chancellor En gelbert Dollfuss already had cost, it was estimated, from 1,000 to 1,600 lives. Scores of women and , children were said unofficially to be among the casualties. Reports from throughout the nation showed the government was gaining the upper hand ? but still the Socialists fought. Chan cellor Dollfuss called them "mad." Fear lactUn* Public While the government is pub lishing no death toll details, feeling that would add flame to the public excitement, an unoffi cial estimate shows between 1,000 and 1,600 persons have been kill ed in combat throughout the na tion. There are uncounted multitudes of injured. The estimate of casualties is entirely unofficial but tu arrived 'at through conservation' with gov ernment officials, army officers, and a personal inspection by the Associated Press staff on the scenes of warfare. This inspection indicated it was safe to say that there have been at least scores of women and children among the casualties. Hemes Torn It is hard to look at the shell torn factory homes and buildings in the suburb of Floridadorf alone without a temptation to allow at least one woman or child tor ev-', ery 20 male casualties there. . , For It was in Florldsorf. that] women fought all through the ] night beside their men against , overwhelming ^numbers of govern- < Bent troops while shells scream- . ?d and smashed their homes into i powder. ] Indications that the govern ment itself recognizes the danger to efcfldrsn were sees in a gov ernment decree, issued tonight,] closing all Austrian schools Indef initely and adrtce Issued yester day to keep children off the streets. Although the Socialist quarters in Vienna were momentarily cap tured, today, after a short lull, the battle was resumed through streets still littered with the dead. The women fought like old pi oneers of the American prairl'SS. A government commander said they helped carry munitions and reload rifles of their embattled husbands and brothers who fOught from the windows of their hornet. Their resistance was smashed by artillery. f j "There were pT?ftty of innocent noncombatants," "said one offlcer, "who had no cltfeice but to go through the shelling." . Situation BUU B&4 i The state of cftfl Wat' between the Socialists and the government continued serious throughout the nation, but in mijlng regions the government rapidly appeared to be gaining the Upper hand. Chancellor Engtlbert Dollfuss, determined to retatn control of the government, dsdlared the So cialist fight was "madness " "One may say already," said Dollfuss, "that this undertaking has entirely failed and that the position of the federal govern ment Is stronger than ever." At Llns, one of the bloodiest spots in the rebellion, the govern ment was definitely In contrql.
