A Significant Order.

An order has Just been issued by
the Austrian War Office, directing
,he officers at the general staff at
Vienna, like those at Berlin, to inn
medlatsiy begin tie study of the
Russian language. The order has
created great Indignation in Russia,
and the press see in 1t a significant
indication ef the future ihtsntisns OF
Austria.
"Prussia as.wsll as Austria" says
the st. Petersburg Mir, "makes no
secret of the fact that a crusade
against us is one OF the dearest
wishes OF the German nations. SO
lsng as Germany was really friendly
to Russia, neither the Plnsslan nor
the Austrian officers ever dreamed
of learning the Russian language,
but now everything is being got
ready 10 convert the hostile feeling
of those countries tor Russia INTO
hostile deeds" 1t vii! be remem
kered that during the Franco Prus-
sian war, the thorough mastery OF
the French language by German OF
ticsrs OF all grades, and their won
dsrtul Typographical knowledge OF
the country, astonishsd not only the
Frepcll but tho whole World. As a
precautionary measure, the Russian
newspapers recommend All alliance
with the Scandinavian nations, not
