The announcement that Count Tisza, the powerful Ilungariaq Prime Minister,

has resigned proves that very searching and far-reaching reconstructive influences are at work in Austria- Hungary. Count Tisza has been the fugleman of Germany. His business has been to stand forth and show his country how to march and manceuvre at the German word of command. In order to perfect the example he has been disloyal to all his Ministerial colleagues and tyrannical towards every racial group and interest in Hungary. The tale of judicial murders under his regime is not yet told. It is believed to be terrible. When he is gone, the horrible fabric of his rule may crumble into dust. Anything may happen.
