ut is estimated that from lis 900

cost as much as the Civil var cost, at

to 5000, 0O0, 900. A thousand million
dollars a year for five years Will

University Notes

DR.. Brown gave a very Inspiring ad-
dress in assembly this morning on Wis
ions" The purpose was to say some
thing that would act as a stimulus TO
those who are not doing all they can
each day in the university but as little
as they can. This, of course, is child
ish and although ONE are children and
must be expected to be childish In the
attitude. 1t is now time Tor many to
wake up, and realize that their oppor-
tunities here in the university make
them Wyoming's children OF fortune.
The sad story Of Ray White with his
struggles, success on the threshold
of Il brilliant future just reached when
stricken down by an assassin was told.
Also the story was told OF the appar'
emily Indifferent brother who awoke
and caught the vision of his future and
is now acting on the committee for the
publication of political affairs of Phila-
delphia. DR.. Brown did not mean that
it was necessary for the youth to see
now the particular thing to which he
will devote his future but he must
wake UP to what the future means to
him and to the realization of his oppor-
tunities for making that future valu-
able no matter what its particular aim
is. He is glad that prizes have been
given for excellence in different lines
of work and when he gives a prize IL
will be for the student who during
the school year has made the greatest
progress over himself. This is accom-
plished only by labor. The blessing
of life is toll

demands made by the Hungarians,
 viz. that the army shall use the Hun Rarian instead of the German lan- guage Some years ago the hght was made and won for the use of the Hun garian language in schools, in the courts and in parliament, and the Hungarians feel that their nationality is endangered by the fact that their army is taught only the German words of command.
 The emperor takes the position that the use of the Hungarian language would destroy the unity of the imperi- al army. To prevent a rupture ne proposed the formation of a coalition cabinet to hold until the suffrage could be extended and the question again submitted to the people. There is no doubt that the people are practically unanimous in favor of their own lam Guage and that an extension of the suffrage will not change the complex ion of parliament The relations be- tween the emperor and Hungary have become very much strained, and the aversion to the German language IS so pronounced that Hungarians who can speak the German language will often refuse to answer a question ao- dressed to them in German.
 For Francis Joseph himself the Hun- garians have a strong affection. and they would be glad to contribute to the happiness of his closing days, but they feel that the interests of their nation are vitally concerned and they are anxious to have the point at issue settled before a new soverign ascends the throne If the emperor were left to himself he would probably con clude that a Hungarian fighting force attached to the empire and grateful for consideration shown their country would form a more effective part Of the joint army. even though the Hun garians spoke their own language, than troops compelled to learn lam guage hateful to them, History fur nishes many examples of successful armies made up of corps, divisions and regiments speaking different lam guages, but less numerous are the in- stances of nations successfully held together by force when one part of the empire was made subservient to the interests of another part
 Hungary is being alienated by Insist ence upon requirements which do not in reality strengthen the empire while she might be drawn closer to the throne by a more liberal policy. The end Is not yet

| Day and night, weekdays, Sundays and holidays, hundreds of men are at work boring the under-river tunnels in and around New York.
