AUsTRIA's DIFFICULTY.


II does not take much of a spark to
cause an explosion in powder maya
zine, nor does II require much Of a pre-
text for q revolution when the public
mind is kept in state OF constant agi-
tation.
Austria, It seems, Is threatened with a
revolt because the emperor insists on
the Czechs In the army, on roll CALL re-
spending in Germcn instead Of In their
own language. II is difference OF only
one little word, but that may prove the
straw that breaks the camel's back.
The story Is told as follows by an
Eastern exchange;
THE army regulations Of the empire
require that the soldiers report each
20 the control commission, and each
man as his name Is called must step
forward and present a pass which cer-
TILES TO his having served. II has be-
come an established custom that he
shall answer with the word here al
though this Is not prescribed by law.
The language OF the entire army during
service being German, the soldiers are
expected 10 use the German word HER
but In Bohemia the Czech soldiers insist
upon using the Bohemian equivalent.
'1de Trouble over the matter began
about four years ago. when those reply
Ing 'zde' We're arrested for disObedIence
and Imprisoned. The ill-feeling then
aroused has been fostered by the Czech
agltators, who constantly pirate Of lam
guage and nationalism. Now the En-
peror has declared that HER and not
'zde' must be the response, and the pre-
dictlon is made that the issue which has
been raised may lead TO the dissolution
OF the empire.
Delegate Stransky, who is a fiery
Czech, few days ago made speech In
the Austrian seEzio which the Emperor,
meeting him after dinner, criticized as
OF tone calculated TO produce uneasl-
ness among the people. Stransky tried
10 defend his position, but the Emperor
replied, In the zde question | am ire
conclably opposed to your views
am ready to proclaim martial law II the
people do not yield in this matter In
army affairs I'll have no Joking, and /
tell you right now will pardon no one
Slransky pointed out that the word
hier' was not required by The army reg
ulations, and the Emperor said: That's
mere lawyers qulbble. tell you this is
a question Of the language Of the army
when In service, and that language Is
German
There are numerous natlonaltles,
languages, and dialects represented in
the Austrian empire. The German ele-
ment Is estimated at about e-fourth
OF the entire population. II is evident
that this minority cannot safely insist
upon the remainder adopting the Ger
man language In preference to their
own. II the Emperor insists II is not
impossible that II may cost him his en-
pire. The matter at Issue is trlfie. but
the principle involved is important,
Nationality cannot long survive the
death OF the language. And II Is for
their national life, that Czechs and
Maygars, Croats and Roumanlans are
fighting. The final solution OF the Aus
trlan problem will perhaps be the union |
OF the German population with the Ger
man empire. and the establishment Of |
a number OF small prinelpalliies under
Russian protection.

The great sensation In England at the
present time is the speech OF Arthur ],
Balfour, the government leader "a the
house OF commons and first lord OF the
treasury at Manchester on Tuesday
night Balf0ur after Premier Sails
bury, Is the most Influential member "
the British ministry. In his speech he
said he was no defender Of the war
office. He thunght It's management had
been bad and indefenslbe, particularly
IN not supplying the British army with
long range guns and NOT discovering
that the Beers had secured longer range
suns than the British army. The ac-
ton Of Balfour Is really a rupture In the
British ministry. The newspapers are
inclined TO censurc Balfour for his ex-
presslons al this crisis.

the British forces In South Africa, and
In union, according to the ancient
adage, there is strength But more

British army Of 10000 men. That force,
