The efforts of the German Press to attach serious political
importance to the visit of the Kaiser to Vienna meet with no support in the Austrian capital. While, however, Vienna is coldly polite, the Hungarian official journals adopt an attitude of outspoken antagonism to the visit, describing it as revenge- fully aimed at Italy, and furnishing an instructive warning to Hungary. Thus the organ of the Hungarian Coalition Government, quoted by the Times of Thursday, bluntly describes the Triple Alliance as an official doctrine which
has lost in Hungary, as well as in Italy, the moral substance it once possessed; and declares that Germany, totally isolated in Europe, will find it difficult to reconquer Hungarian sympathies from Vienna. The settlement of the recent Hungarian crisis, and the Kaiser's unfortunate telegram to Count Goluchowski, have administered a serious set-back to the Pan-German movement in Austria-Hungary.
