Why Aust Doa,sIiks Us.


other country outside of Spain is pop
ular feeling so strong against the Unit
ed States as it is in Austria. The e1-
tent and bitterness of this feeling is
not by any means due wholly to the
fact that the queen regent Of Spain is
al Au trian arctduchess; Austria
has an accumulation OF grievances
against our government which cause
her to sympathize intensely with Spain
in the present war.
The record goes back as far as 1923
when Russia, Austris, Prussia and
France formed the Holy Alliance and
appeared to move against the South
American republics which had recent
ly thrown off the Spanish yoke.
While Austria was only one of the
four powers which formed this league,
Aettemich, for many years the master
spirit Of Austria, was more responsible
for it than any one else and when
President Monroe warned the Holy
alliance that it must not interfere in
the western world Austria took much
greater ofense than any of the o.her
allies.
This feeling was still strong in 1S4s
when the REBELLION in Hungary oc-
Cured and received so much sympa
thy and encouragement from the pee
pie of the United States. The oVa-
tons given to Kossuth when he came
to this country in 1851 aroused Aus
trian ire to still higher pitch, and in
1858 an event occurred which intensi-
fed even further the anti-American
animosity in Austria. This was the
rescue OF Koszta by q United States
man OF war.
Koszta, one of the Hungarian re-
bells Of 1649, escaped TO the United
States after the war, took the prelimi.
nary steps necessary to secure full
citizenship in this country, but while
in Smyrna, Turkey, in 1858, on busi-
ness, was seized by order of the Aus
trian consul and put on board the
Austrian frigate Huzzar, in that port.
Captain Iograhsm, commander of the
American sloop of-war St. Louis,
learning of the affair, sailed to the
place where the Austrian war vessel
was stationed, demanded Kosz!a's re-
lease, and declared that if he were noE
given up by certain hour that day
lie would be taken by force. The
St. Louis was instantly cleared for a
fight. This frightened the Aust. ians
into surrenderiag Koszta to the French
consul, and he was released and sailed
Tor the Ualted States.
Twelve years later when the United
States refused to countenance the
usurpation of Mexico by France, Aus,
tria had fresh cause OF complaint.
Aa1iniliam, brother OF Emperor
Franz Joseph, whom LOUIS Napoleon
had drawn into his Mexican scheme
and placed on. the throne, was csptur-
ed and executed. Instead of charging
his death to Napoleon the Austrian
government and people held the
United States responsible for it. So
there has not been tins IN seventy
five years when Austria has not had q
quarrel with us. That she would be
against US in this war, so far as her
feelings and hopes go, was to ., ex
pected
