VIENNA, Aug. lS.-(Special to The Bee)
The recent speech of the English prime
minister In which he spoke of the Austrian
naval program as a mystery has aroused
much indignation here where the feeling
to England Is not over friendly at its best
In speaking of the matter the Newe
Freie Presse says: The Austro- Hungar-
ian government has made clear its inten-
tions with regard to the building of Dread
thoughts on several occasions and it is abb
solutely no secret that Austria Hungary
has already begun the work. 1t is known
that the Stabilimento Tecnico at Trieste,
which is responsible for the building of
almost all the warships for our navy, has
already two Dreadnoughts in the course of
construction.
As the Department OF the Navy could not
advance the funds for the undertaking
without first obtaining parliamentary au-
thority, the Stabllimento decided to build
the first two Dreadnoughts at It's own cost.
The government will decide on its course
of action when the delegations have sane
toned the expenditure. II is expected that
the estimates to be laid before the Delega-
tons, which will probably meet at the be-
ginning Of November, will include the first
and second installments OF payment for the
two Dreadnoughts. The other two Dread
noughts that are projected will be laid
down next year, and are to be built at the
naval shpyards at Pola or possibly at the
works Of the Danubius company at Frume.
We in Austria-H Hungary merely follow the

Partisan Journalists encounter Is reported
to have taken place recently in Hungary.
Two visitors in a certain town quarreled
In certain cafe and the following morning
the local newspaper published an adver-
tisement from one OF the participants ad-
dressed to the other in the following terms:
''Sir, gentleman cannot send his sec
onds to person of your quality. Kindly
consider that your face is slapped on both
cheeks. You can feel grateful that | do
not ask you to consider yourself caned."
The blood-thirsty opponent replied also
per advertisement in the next days issue
of the Journal. ITO my excellent adver-
sary; beg. to thank you for Shaping me
only in writing. Kindly allow me in reply:
have fired six revolver bullets into your
head. Consider yourself therefore, as dead
and receive my best respects"
Duels conducted on these lines would OBJ
viate nasty wounds and bloodletting and
would also prove profitable to the news
papers. i~
Old Friends DIE Together.
Two rich Hungarian land owners, Paul
Kovacs, aged 20, and Emmerich Juhasz,
aged 6S, who had for many years been
neighbors and on extremely friendly terms,
decided to end their lives together because
both had become intolerable owing to in
durable diseases.
They uncovered a deep well on the estate
of Juhasz hung bags filled with stones
around their necks, tied their left hands
together and then jumped into the we'll
where their bodies were subsequently found
by the servants. The large estates were
left to distant relatives.
To Escape His Poverty.
terrible family tragedy is reported from
Budapest, where Joseph Molnar, a postof-
flee employe and the father of five young
children, sent his wife under some pretext
to town. and when she left, killed all of
the five children with his razors, finally
inflicting deadly injuries on himself Be-
fore expiring, he said that he preferred
his children should die rather than suffer
from such terrible poverty, his monthly
salary being only 55s. Frau Molnar at the
sight Of the six bodies became insane.
