localities, from tho fashionable coffee houses in the
inner city town to the unseemly brandy shops in the
outskirts Of Vienna Is becoming more and more impreg
mated with fierce spirit OF war.
The war has been atihclally got up by
Germany. Tho pretenco Of the war IS question OF
political metaphysics it has not sprung up, as gene
rally the between contendng nations, by the
nictng interests Of political every day life. This ques
tion Of the duchies has been studousy invented by
German historian, Professor Dahlman. The Duchy Of
Heeten part OF the Germanic Confederation and
claims certain political rights tho Duchy OF sches

togs&her have found their expression in the
known phrases, cited from ns old documents,

serious consequences, when two events occurred by
