10 which we Invite attention Is that our

the story about vengeance on this ma
ton, but steadiastly omit the testl'
mony given that no such words are
used In the obligation taken, They
dwell upon the error, but neglect to
notice The truth that there is nothing
about the nation In the ceremony.
Another point Is that the term

which have been the subject OF so much
curiosity, Is continually repeated by
those papers, when the evidence
throughout the whole investigation
clearly establishes the fact that there

AUSTRIA. HUNGARY,

The Hungarian trouble briefly stated,
seems to be that the Hungarians are
determined to remain Hungarlans while
he majority OF the Austrlans are ex-
erting every effort TO make them Aus
trtms. There is no point OF compari-
son between the situation in the dual
monarchy and that which led to the
dissolution OF the Scandlnaviap union.
Norway was free, independent self
governing kingdom, ever since 1874 The
Norwcguns at that time acquired all
the rights and advantages the Hun
gasaIis are aslAng for now, and more,
ana it7is rehs6HabH inference that
Hungary would have no agitation, but
for the unreasonable stubbornness OF
the party dominant In Austria. It looks
as If war between Austria and Hun
gary were brewing.
The Austro- Hungarian union Is only
20 years old Austria conquered by
Germany, was under the necessity OF
granting Hungary certain rights ard
privileges IN the partnership. but there
has always been a desire TO unity the
domain at the expense Of Hungarian
natlonalism, This is what the Hun
garians resent. Germans and Slays
IN Austria quarreled among themselves,
but they were united when any scheme
OF REFRESHING the Hungarian national
feeling was brought to the front.
Within the last few years, a scheme
was developed for making the German
language official" in Hungary. 1t

merit and tradition. IT was a lagrant

Lament that viii obey the dictates Of
Vienna
OF course, there is the Austrian side
OF the controversy. There can he no
doubt that the separation Of Hungary
from Austria-and That Is the ultimate
goal OF the hungarian patriots-would
be serious menace TO the existence
OF Austria The Austrians are there
fore perfectly justified In struggling
for the preservation Of the union. since
the law Of sefpreservation always de-
mands obedience. The question, how
ever is whether union by force IL
worth while struggling for, Can there
be real union Of two peoples by force?
Is It not rather true that eumlty pro-
voked by coercion renders the seeming
unity and friendship a sham--a shell
without a kernel? In the time Of real
need Austria would find her union with
Hungary worthless. unless It is built
upon mutual friendship ana mutual in
terests.
