WIRELESS PUT ON TUG.
Craft Will Be Able to Hasten to
Vessels in Distress.

In order to receive prompt information
of disasters to shipping on the coast SO
that she can go to the aid of the vessels
as quickly as possible, the big tug Res
cue of the Merritt-Chapman Wrecling
Company fleet has been equipped with "a
radio outfit.
The outfit has power to send and re-
ceive messages about 80 miles. and on the
trtral of it communication was had with
Cape May, 1876 miles to the north of the
Rescue, lying at Norfolk, and with Cape
Hatteras. 1O5 miles to the south of Cape
Henry. Operators will be kept constant
ly in service aboard the tug to catch all
calls for aid and information regarding
wrecks or stranding, and it is thought
the efficiency of the wrecking fleet will be
greatly increased.
1t is stated that the wrecking ships in
other ports along the coast will also be
equipped with wireless. The system in
stalled on the Rescue was the Marconi.
and the work of installing it was done
under the supervision of Supt Pannel,
in charge of the southern division of the
company.

So far so good. But mind this: No

Servian point of view was accurately
stated in the skuptchina by Stojan Pro-

Hungary remains what she is today, it
is impossible to maintain amicable rela-

to remain a big power, but its compost
ton makes it the home of whole row
of different nationalities, each with a,
pronounced individuality of it's own. Be-
tween us and Austria-Hungary there can
be peace and neighborliness only if she
renounces her pretension of remaining
big power, if she of her volition resolves
to become a second Switzerland" This

HUNGARIAN REFORMS URGED
BY WOLF Won scH1ERBRAND.

VIENNA, January is, 1913.
To those who for years have been
preaching the doctrine that Austria-H Hun
gary could be treated with immunity as a
negligible quantity her attitude of late
must have come as rude awakening. In
the early part of the Balkan war events
shaped themselves more and more to pre-
sent to the dual monarchy both horns of
frightful ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS or mute
acceptance of the facts?
Everybody knows that when the situa-
ton had become most acute, a peaceable
solution seemingly impossible, there came
quick Kaleidoscope change, and the
tangled skeins gradually unraveled.
What caused it?
Politics is always a game with palpable
paWns. The danger of spread of the
Balkan struggle eastward and northward
subsidized, largely because Russia and
France suddenly felt sure that Austria
Hungary was not bluffing. but meant
business The evidence of that was I'M
mistakable.
The press in Vienna and Budapest has
not gone into details, but here are the
facts: A new mobilization law was passed
by the dual parliameptS, and THIS IN an
almost incredibly short time. The ten
monarchy, in the presence OF common
danger, faced it as a unit-seldom has
the motto of her venerable ruler, F1r1bus
Units" been so borne out. Past enmi-
ties were forgotten. 1t was an admirable
demonstration of vitality and harmony.
And look at the sacrifices these two
parliaments were willing TO make: An
extension of the reserve service TO the
completed fiftieth year: all vehicles OF
every description Gncluding autos, buses.
etc) become automatically the property
of the government in wartime, the hight
ing strength of the army brought up to
over 5000, 900; sum of altogether 40
600 OGO kronen (about $54.O0o.0OO spent
within a month in modifying army and
navy. No small matter indeed FOR a
which had been looked upon as
torn by internal dissensions.
In short. Austria-Hungary has re-estab-
lished herself as a great power, as
fighting power, in the eyes or the Worid,
and has done it without boastlng, without
without threatening. She
simply did it,
And the effect on the other great pow
ers was wonderful. Russia assured every
body of her deep love of peace; in France
the radical delegate. Deloncle, praised,
while the house applauded him, Austria
Hungary the German emperor as the
greatest paciiicator ever, and Polncare,
the French premier, for having first sug-
gested Albanian autonomy. In the Ger
man reichstag the chancellor, Won Beth
mann II ollweg. assured the world that
Germany would march side by side
against Austria Hungary's foes. if need
be- England suddenly bethought herself
that a weak Danube empire could seri-
ously upset the European equilibrium
