Vienna (via Paris), Sept. 21.—The belief is growing in official circles here that the Austrian reverses in Galicia were to a large extent brought about by exact knowledge held by the Russian War Office of Austria's mobilization and campaign plans, which had been obtained through an elaborate system of espionage.
The military authorities, it is claimed, two years ago discovered that Col. Alfred Redl, chief of the general staff of the Eighth Austrian Army Corps, had betrayed information of vital importance to Russia and, although it is thought probable the Austrian general staff later made changes in its plans, the military experts believe the modifications would not have greatly affected the general basis of the campaign as worked out by the government.
Col. Redl was found guilty of being traitor and on the advice of brother officers committed suicide.
