Only 20 Per Cent. of Ifs Population Is German. Time was --before the war that it had with Prussia in 1866—when Aus- tria was recognized as the loading CGerm.an'nation. The unification of Germany, with the Xing of Psus- rie, as German Emperor and with Austria outside the confederation, changed the aspect completely., Austria has expanded since its sev- erance from Germany, and the ex- pansiou has been away from Ger- manic ideals and purposes. To -day only twenty per cent. of its popula- tion is of German origin, while the Slays, whioh include Czechs, Serbs, Pelee, Oroiats, eto., have fifty per cent. of the population. The Mag- yars, of Hungary,, are almost as numerous as the Germans, oonsti- tilting` eighteen per cent., while six, per cent. are :Rumanians and the; same proportion Turks, Hebrews, Bulgarians and miscellaneous. If the .Balkan Slays were to be included in the empire of Austria, or if Austria could be a triple in- stead of. iii dual mosriarehy' of, Ger- mans, ' Hungarians' and6.. Slays, it would dominate the Balkans and at the sante time would be a barier agaimtst Russian Slays, Undonbted- ly in such a contingency Austria would in time be dominated by its Slav population. Whale it 'has been the ,ambition of Austria to make itself a great Slav power, 'without surrendering any of the preeitige of the present dual monarchy, outsiders have been look- ing for the dissolution of the em- pire with the death of the aged Franz Josef. They • have argued that a nation made up of so many different races, each antagonistic to the other,,could- not endure, When the war ends we shall all be in better position to prophesy as to the futtvre of Austria. •2 PRODIGIOUS WEALTIT. All Countries Are Paying Tribute to Great Britain. The Chancellor of the British Ex- chequer recognizesthat money is the •essential thing in carrying on war successfully. The' wealth sof Great Britain is in the aggregate prodigious. It is in fact practically inexhaustible, and 'although the oo•st. of the present war, will make great holes in' it, and casual will be much in demand to replace present losses, yob its earnings, even under such -circumstances as the present, are so large that there will'continue to be a large surplus over,evailable for investment in Canada, it must be remembered that industry and production, which- will be mostly of feeted by the present war, do nob represent the total investment goe:t; -attainable only by the employ- meat of :aege genii- and dread- noughts. Theile muteand meek millions, I say, did not want war. They want- ed pewee sand a continuance of the bounding 'prosperity whioh had brought Germany to the pinnacle of economic might. They wanted their army and navy to be that which the Kaiser had grandiloquently boasted ,they were, and only that—bulwarks of peace, not engines of war. These were the sentiments of the German public up to the very hour war descended upon their : inoffen- sive heads. They oared not a fig for Sarajevo b'eyond the • wave of hu- man sympathy and horror whioh wanton murder always produces. They. believed, many of them, that the question ass to who should pre- vail in Europe—German or Slav— Mina some day find a sanguinary solution; but they did net look upon the assassination'ef Archduke Franz Ferdinand end his consent as the occasion for forcing the eoluticn. Brought On By Ametria. It was only when the .Atieatrien de- mands on ' blood-stained Servia brought ,Armageddon measurably near --made mb, as we have seen, in feat; inevitable --that German pub- lic opillion,shrewdly molded, sud- denly, reluctantly, came to the con- elusion that the conflict ' between German and Slav diight, at well be fought out in this year of .grace. I snake bold to proclaim that the. Germans went into this bloody busi- ness with, a heavy heart. I heard their reservists singing, "Die Waoht am Rhein" as they began their marsh to, death and glory from city, town and hamlet. I saw flaaee-haired .. Prissian maidens tossing roses to guards and Ulrlaine .ass they started for the front, from which thousands of tthet will never return. But everywhere and always I found bearing down the spirit of the German, though ornly infrequently expressed by word of mouth',: the sentiment that the war was unnecessary, cruel, unin- telligible, that it ought not to have been: TRENCHES FILLED WITIL 1:1EAD Lille of Dead Germans Stood With Rifles to Shoulders. "It was as though some: blight from heaven had descended upon the German ranks, ,smothering them in sea embrace of dd+.wih," declared a member of the American branch pf the Red .

BROKE IN TITS WARS. Row Wounded Aro Cared for in Present -Day Battles. The proper- care of the wounded in wateris o. *preparatively ;modern innovation, dating from the time of the Crimea. Before that things were lett pretty much to chance. First aid was unknown. Those bad- ly adly Hunt were often left to die or re- cover as best they might. Its nucleus, so to speak, is the advanced field -hospital. A modern battle May extend over a front of thirty of forty sanies, er even .more upon ooeaatioei. All along behind this far flung line, directly in mar of the advanced infantry, and close to the great guns, the advanced field -hospitals are to be found. One field -hospital of this descrip- tion is usually attached to each bri- gade, going forward with it, ms the case may be. It eonaists, us a gen- eral rule, cif a small central mar- quee, oanrbituting a combined oper- ating room and dressing station, with a eumbsr of bell tents around it, capable of accommodating fifty to one hundred alien. Above each tent floats the Red. Gross flag of Geneva. - Four or five or more angles in the rear, out of the enemy's fire, are the gtationary field hospitals, as they are called, to which the :ad vaneed field hospitals act as feed- ers. They are much the same in ap- pearance as the . ottears, bet the operating marquees are larger and more commodious, and ,the number of bell tents is f111, greatdr. It is when; a hounded soldier is passed down from the advanced field hospital that he first nomesiin, contact with the nursing. sisters. Women are not allowed to serve with the advanced field hospitals, their place there being .:taken by mwale orderlies. A wounded main's stay in the ad- vanoed field-bow/be' is usually reckoned . by hours only, while he may remain in the eteeioeewry field hospital for two or three days, or a week, Sooner er lather, however, he is sent down the line of oonsanunication to the base hospital; there ilio: re- cover or die, as fate, end the na- ture of hie wounds, may direct. If permanently disabled, he is inva- lided home. Of course, the wounded man' in one of these establishments presents iL very different spectacle from what he does when the stretcher-bearers first bring iIsbn in to the advanced field -hospital in rear of the fighting line. In the one case he is sur- rounded by every-comfrnrt;`in the other he as dazed, eick, and help- less. Ile may have been given first aid, or be may have not.

In the British Army, during the last Baer Wear, the favorite .method of improvising at field dressing was to first clap ahandful of shag tobaoco over the wound in order to cheek the bleeding, and then bind it up with the tape of a puttee. • It sounds rather uninviting, bet it worked well in practice, the nicotine acting as a coarse kind of antisep- tic.

The Walloons, a mere handful, live in the Ardennes highlands, far from the coast, have their own language, and maintain a somewhat suspicious attitude to- wards: both iiih n French-speaking Belgiene and the Flemings.
