THE AUSTRIANS. THEIR SORRY PART IN EUROPE’S HISTORY. The impotent subjection or Austria to the prancing Prussian Junkers is one of history’s ironic tragedies. The Hapsburgs were emperors when the Hohenzollerns were scrubby squires. Vienna was a great capital city when Berlin was a mean village. Now Austria is the German Kaiser's washpot, and Vienna must dance when Berlin pipes. The enslavement of Austria was the greatest of all Bismarck’s statecraft achievements, Austria was Prussia’s ally in the war against Denmark in 1864. That was the first step towards a Hohenzollern domination of Europe, Denmark lost Schleswig-Holstein, and Austria naturally wanted her share or the swag. That was, of course, entirely opposed to Prussian principles. Austria protested and Prussia prepared for war. A Diet of the German States was held at Frankfort in June, 1866, and it is interesting to recall that Bavaria, Saxony, and even Hanover (Hindenhurg’s native State) voted for Austria. Whereupon Prussia discovered that there was no longer any German Confederation, and the next day declared war on Austria. The war was all over in two months The Austrians w r ere decisively defeated at. Sadowa on July Z, and peace was signed at Prague before the end of August. Bismarck made the peace terms very light. No territory was taken from the Austrians, and no ruinous indemnity demanded. Her German allies had been taught that tne Prussian Ccdlin was the powerful friend, not the Austrian Short. That was enough. From 1866 until to-day Austrian foreign policy has been dictated by her German masters. —London Express,
