Austria meanwhile has sunk to a low state. 1t has
been singlehanded fairly beaten by the ndomltable
Hungarians, and no boastlng bulletins proclaim i.s

Russia He has then resigned his place of being the
defender of Legitimacy. The representative of this
past outrage on human rights lies farther north.
This is point gained. There is no greater truth
than that for Europe. The humiliation Of Austria is
the advancement of the cause of freedom. Another
ancient barrier has been cast down, and henceforh
free ideas will have less obstruction to meet in work.
