,..-~s Sent While the Opposi-
49,. ..ll is wacinc an active parlia-
.-..-v var against the Tisza Minis
-, The Diet. 70 is becoming palmer
- - sav that rs cause is losing sup

4, which i- resorts.
ro- the last few days criticism OF
A, r.s-, Ministry has pivoted on
-...sr which only indirectly concerns
-. Hungarian Diet and Hungarian
-.,..;.s--ame,y. the eonvening OF
,~,.-,a, and Hungarian delegations IN
-, which attend 20 state affairs
Austria and Hungary have in COM
- T,s-a's opponents demand that
-. allegations be convened for the
.r.,o.s O., attending 70 certain mill
..-v and political affairs which, it is
...--e5. are being neglected By the
.,,.rian government. These consist
alleged inconpeteucy in the admin
,,.-a..sa Of foreign affairs and inefi-
..-.v E, the Austro-Hungarian army
.5-,,.s.-aton: both OF these charges
5.irr connected with Rumania's entry
into the way.
Accuse Tisza Of Failure.
The orros ition 20 Tisza continues 20
,,..r. tsat the department Of Baron
"a, Buraa. the Foreign Minister, and
III. lisa government have failed to
,sk. the necessary military precau-
ton, in Pennsylvania and that they
s-. guilty Of most fragrant failure IN
no, warning the population OF Trans
Ivvsria 90 leave their homes before
,bs Rurariar advance took place, with
the result that the years crops ana
much cattle were lost.
Premier Tisza has pointed out that
the O01Cs.-l01 was mistaken. In
ras-er.r EXPOSE be showed that the
Acknowledgment government was
fpuv acr-a.r.el with the situation IN
Bucharest srt expected the declara-
lion of va- hv Rumauia, but that the
Rrra-ia- government was obliged by
the Entente 90 act 1recipltately, Ru-
mania being not cutie ready, as deVei-
or~e--s ID D0trudIs had shown.
Count I.sla declared that hungary
BAD no right 90 Interfere IN the
sovereign affairs 0f Austria and that
90 do So would be a dangerous prec-
eter-. because Austria might some
-me exercise the same privilege to-
ward Hungary.
Opposition Continues Criticism
The Opposition al along has charged
The Austrian government with grave
breach of good faith toward Hungary
Iecacse u the failure 20 convene the
Austrian Parliament, but as Count
Tisza has many times pointed out TINS
rat-er is wholly beyond the province
o. the Hungarian Diet.
Meanwhile -he demands OF the Op-
rositon axe Cwindllng IN number ana
vshenence. A. first the Opposition de.
rarced -ne retirement from power OF
lisza and his party. The next demand
was f1r a Goa tl0n ministry eXcludlng
T.sza; and finally for such a ministry
70 include him. To-day, the hopes or
tte Pre1ier's opponents are limited
70 adding from their own ranks several
ministers without portfolios.
TIE Opposition gained shgnt VIC
torv ves -erday in the retirement OF
Count Sere1yi from the Office Of Minis
tsr Of Arr.c1ltufe and from the Labor
party.
I. is .-oblematical whether Count
Tisza's o--orents Will be able 10 OBJ
tsr even a coalition ministry. IL IS
rcrs probable that the storm IN the
Diet viii --5side without changing any
Ting. ee-e-.ally should an offensive
arc.1s. R1ma1ians in Pennsylvania be
begun soon.
