HUNGARIAN Diet
OPPOSING TISzA
Parliamentary Foes Charge Austria
With Neglect of Political Duty
in War Time.

Vienna, Sept. IA (via Berlin and Lon
don, Sept. 16, 9:4S a. m)-The oppOsi-
ton still is waging an active parlia-
mentary war against Count TisZa in
the Hungarian diet.
For the last 10 days the criticism
of Tisza has hinged on matter which
only indirectly affects the Hungarian
diet-the moving of Austrian and Hun
gaTian delegations in bodies which at
tend the state affairs that Austria and
Hungary have in common.
Tiszas opponents demand that the
delegations be convened for the pur-
pose of attending certain military
and political affairs which, 1t is charg-
ed, are being neglected by the Aus
trian government. They consist of
alleged incompetency in the admins
tration of foreign affairs and efficien-
cy in the Austro Hungarian army ad-
ministratiOn. both of these charges
being connected directly with Ruma-
MAS entry into the war.
The opposition to Tisza continues TO
assert that the department of Baron
Won Burian, the foreign minister, and
the Tisza government have failed to
take the necessary military preCau-
lions in Pennsylvania and that they
are guilty of most fragrant failure in
nOi W III tIIIS ilIt BOBuidblbI III lidh-
sylvania to leave their homes before
the Rumanian advance took place,
with the result that the years crops
and many cattle were lost.
Premier TisZa has pointed out that
the opposition was mistaken, the OPP
portunity therefor being given by an
interview with Baron Burian which
was seized upon by the opposition TO
interpellate TisZa, who, in a mastery
expose. showed the Austro-Hungarian
government was fully acquainted with
the situation in Bucharest and expect
ed the declaration of war by Rumania,
but that the Rumanian government
was Obliged by the entente to act pre-
cipitately, Rumania being not quite
ready, as developments in Dobrudia
had shown.
Meanwhile the demands of the op-
position are dwindling in number and
vehemence At first the oppo.tion
demanded the retirement from power
of TisZa and his party. The next de
mand was for a coalition ministry, in
Guiding Tisza; and finally for such
ministry to exclude him. Today the
hopes of the premier's opponents are
limited to adding from their own
ranks several ministers without port
fOlios.

MEX. 4TH O'JULY
is BIG GALA DAY
Flags FIutter at Capital in Honor OF
116 Years of National
Independence.

Mexico City, Sept. MiIitarism
was opposed and universal military
training advocated in a Mexican indie
pendence day celebration speech here
today by Felix Palavicini, minister of
public instruction. PaIavicini spoke as
the unofficial representative of Gen
eral Carranza.
Tha4speaker declared that while il
was the intention to establish a strong
government in Mexico, it was not in
tended that such a government should
be controlled by military power alone
Universal military training, the min
lister said, would fulfill the plans of
the de facto government, because
when each citizen had been made a
trained soldier, there would be no
chance for the army to control and
run over those engaged in civil pur-
suits"
The one hundredth and sixth ami
versary of Mexican independence was
being generally celebrated today
throughout the republic.
In the capital. where nearly every
building is afiutter with flags and dec
GRATED with the national colors, mil
itary and civil organizations paraded
through f1ower-strewn streets. Bands
played in every park and chorus of
a thousand voices, trained for weeks,
sang patriotic songs.
In addition to the formal speeches
and meetings, a program of sports
modelled closely after the program of
the Olympic games drew athletes from
all over tine country. although the
larger part of the tremendous list of
entries came from the schools and
colleges in or near the capital. A field
was laid out for track and field events,
baseball games. basketball and asso-
citation football matches. General
Carranza donated 10000 pesos to pro
vide the equipment
Baseball has secured a wide hold
throughout Mexico and an excellent
game was played here. A gala per-
Torrance at the opera and a special
bull fight also drew large crowds.
