Until the Austro-Hungarian Ge n:.rals at Prague and Agram disavowed

their Emperor, the first and only sign of any Nationalist movement within the Army had been given at Fiume, the Croatian port belonging to Hungary, where a Croatian regiment mutinied on Thursday week and attacked the Magyar troops. Alternative rumours from Holland and Switzerland say that the mutiny is increasing and that it has been suppressed. If we may judge the Austro-Hungarian Army by its conduct at the front in Italy, where it has offered a strenuous resistance to the Allied advance, we shall be slow to con- clude that its iron discipline has been seriously affected by the political turmoil among the civil population.
