Population Indifferent.

The population assumes an attitude
of Indifference toward the dispute in
the Hungarian diet, and is becoming
wearied Of the actions of what are
termed patriots in different uniforms"
Nevertheless. 1t is certain that for many
days and possibly for the session the
opposition will apply all it's energies to
unhorsing Premier Tisza Tisza and his
supporters, however. apparently are too
shrewd for their opponents.
The demand of the opposition for the
converting Of the delegation has not
produced the slightest impression in
Austria, where all circles realize that
the session Of parliament which must
be called to select the Austrian delega-
ton could effect little change in the
course Of the government which is die
tated by the war. Today il Is problem
atical even whether Count TisZa's op-
ponents will be able to obtain even A
coalition ministry. 1t is more probable
that the storm in the diet will subside
without changing anything. and this is
all the more probable should an often

their charges in yesterdays successful
attack is the one theme of the talk
throughout the army today.
The idea was so good when it was

had some built. and the way they have
gone over the German trenches and
have enf1laded them with machine gun
fire is some return for the surprise the
Germans gave US with their gas at
tacks in the first battle of Ypres."
Evidently the British were able to
keep the building of these cars entirely
secret. and the first that the Germans
knew of their existence was when. IN
the misty dawn yesterday morning. they
came trundiing across shell craters and
over tree stumps, cutting down many
small trees on their way toward tho
German trenches, on to the second line
and even to the third line. The return

of questions were propounded. Would

And what was 1t fed? Which was its
tail and which its head? At all events,
it was a steel jointed incarnation of
military secrecy.
Hoped for Sporting Chance.
Spectators laughed at it, but with tho
true British sporting instinct hoped it
would at least have a sporting chance.
Last night wounded men back from
the line forgot their pain and what
part their battalion played during the
battle in telling what the tanks" did.
Notes were compared between the ac-
lions of "our" and your" tank.
Cooperating with the infantry, ac-
