fling ring of smugglers of Chinese

Hungary Dissatisfied.

Hungary, while at one with Austria
in regard to the principle Of the war,
has shown dissatisfaction with the
manner in which it has been prose-
cuted. While Austro-Hungarian troops
have been utilized to prevent Russian
invasion of Germany, and even have
been employed against France. Hun
gary has been left open to invasion.
Count Tisza. the Hungarian premier.
on several occasions gave utterance to
this dissatisfaction. and. finding that
his complaints We're not heard at Wen,
ma, took them to Berlin. where he had
an audience with the German emperor.
Although it was said that after this
trip the interests of Hungary were
given more attention. Count Tisza did
not stop his agitation and in speech
on New Year day complained that Hun
sary's position had not been fully rec
ognized.
Insisting upon military and political
harmony between Hungary and Aus
tria and Germany. he said pointedly
that the Hungarian nation must as
sumo the place 1t deserved in conse-
quence of its material and moral
strength. it's active energy and the
fact that all its interests. aspirations
and desires were in complete accord
with the true interests OF the mon
archy.
The Vienna papers took Count Tisza
to task for this speech, one of them
Die Zeit, saying it was impossible to
reply on account of the censorship
The appointment of Baron Burian sug-
gests, however, that the emperor has
decided to give Hungary greater
voice in the government of the coun-
try.

Austro- Hungarian minister of finance
so that he has had some experience
In the larger problems of the monarch,
and latterIy he has been Hungarian

Sensation Is Caused.

LONDON. January 1.-THE announce
ment from Berlin. published also in the
Vienna Fremdemblatt, that Count Won
Berchtold, the Austro-Hungarian min
lister of foreign affairs. has resigned
and has been succeeded by Baron Ste
phan Burian. has caused a sensation in
diplomatic circles in Europe.
Count Won Berchtold, who directed
Austro-H Hungarian foreign relations for
a number of years and was responsible
for the note to Servia which precipi-
tated the war. on a number of occa-
sions. both before and after the Balkan
wars, had asked Emperor Francis Jo-
seph to relieve him of office. But the
continued unsettled conditions which
followed the annexation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina made this impossible.
Anxious as he was to retire. therefore.
it was not dreamed he would do 30
while the war was in progress, for 1t
was considered that such action might
suggest that his policy had fallen into
disfavor More significant than his
resignation, however. is the announce
ment that he is succeeded by a Hun
Rarian.
