During the month since the creation

DUAL MONARCHY FRICTION

ZURICH. Switzerland. December 15.-
The difficulties between Hungary and
Austria are growing sharper Hun
gary claims that the Austrians are
supporting the Bohemians in an at
tempt 10 secure part of the Hungarian
Kingdom for a Czech monarchy. The
real cause OF the friction, however. Is
due chiefly to differences over the food
program. The Frankfurter Zeitune
publishes this significant dispatch from
Vienna:
Unpleasant attention has been
aroused by the republication in the
Reichspost of an article from the
Budapest Azest directed against Aus
tria. which shoots far beyond the mark
set by the necessity of defending Hun
gary against Czech attacks. The last
few days have sufficiently demonstrated
that not all of Austria. and certainly
not the Germans and Poles are sup
porting the Czechs- Difficulties I'M
questionabiy exists between Austria
and Hungary mainly because OF the in
suficiency OF the food control. but this
will be alleviated. Both states could
do better than help the Czechs in an
EFFORT to wreck the monarchy from the
mubog1cr."
