MAGYARS AGAINST JUSTICE
TO OTHER NATIONAIITIES

Paris. Aug. 2e.--(Bv msil) On the
18th Of July, Count Julius Andrassy
published an important article in the
Neue Freie Presse dealing with Aus
trian events from the standpoint Of
Magyar interests The article ought
to serve as a conclusive answer to
those who regard the liberalization
OF Austria Hungary as the best solu-
ton of the problem OF the nationaii-
ties In central Europe.
Those well acquainted with condi-
tons In central Europe have always
maintained that the program Of a
federalized Austria Hungary. which
would include Germans, Magyars.
Slavs. Rumanians and Italians within
it's confines at the same time. is moth
ing but dangerous utopia, which the
Magyars have ever exploited as a
trump card TO influence the opinion
of the entente. but which in reality
has absolutely no chance OF realiza-
ton, Now they can offer nothing but
thanks to the leader OF the alleged
Magyar opposition who has SO ems

Andrassy, ''the maintenance of dual

state formation whatsoever, composed

would not only be contrary to the
historical development and the real
equilibrium of forces. but also against
the political consciousness of the Mag

possible. If the Magyar people saw
the kingdom Of Bohemia. or even
Jugoslav state, receive the same rights
as Hungary. the Magyars would Inn
mediatelv become irreconcilable enc

always happened in the past. the idea
II federal monarchy would again
meet the obstacle Of a most energetic
resistance OF the Magyars. 1t Is then
possible that those people of Austria

grandeur, the glory of the monarchy
and the dynasty. GOULD consent to a
federal solution? Never! ANY sort

II seems that in his

He was somewhat of a

He said
That he had been pinched.

Chased about railroad yards,
And altogether mixed up
In about as many
Different
Kinds Of trouble az
Any man who flits from
Pillar to post hut
That he had always
Managed TO make hts
Excuses stand up at par
And his alibis likewise
And that he had never been
Any deeper In trouble than
The first flareup.
And. besides, ii appears that
His offenses were
Minor
And after the fashion
Of the foolhearted roustahoUt's
pranks,
And SO he really didn't deserve
To mako little ones
Out of big ones,
However, all this iust-kicking
Didn't perfume his good name
Any.
So he settled down and became a
Deacon and made q great
Comeback.
