The Times of Monday published a report that Austria proposes
to establish a South Slav counterpart of the new kingdom of Poland. The purpose of this is of course to legalize the conscription of Serbs to fight against the Allies. Such an outrage as that makes a further outrage which is contemplated take second place--though, it must be added, a very high place indeed. This secondary outrage is the intention " to give special satisfaction to the Magyars by increasing Hungarian influence over the Southern Slav populations within and without the Dual Monarchy." In other words, it is hoped to expose parts of Serbia, Montenegro, Dalmatia, Bosnia, and Hem- goyim, as well as the territory that is already firmly under Magyar government, to the rule which-is distinguished by cruel oppression and aided by perjury and forgery.
