newspaper prese bave evoked the phenomenon commonly styled Young China," there has been a grewing feeling anong her people that their complex system of hieroglyphs, is unsuited to modern needs, and that, unless some simplification is adopts:l, it will be a constant stumbling-
the block to
progreen of the nation. This feeling Was "voiced at the first meeting of the National Assembly at Peking, when the scheme of reforme oc- nounced by the Ministry of Edu- cation included the devising of a simplified form of writing. This desire for reform carried some so far even as to advocate the official. adoption of the English language, and in the early days of the Ke- public one at least of the Minis- tries actually put out official an- nouncements in English. The longing for some improvement in this respect is quite intelligible, and, indeed, the position of the Chinese written language is bat typical of the nation as a whole- it has been in a state of arrest- cd development.

Austria-Hungary and the War.
In the freer atmosphere of thờ foreign rear, many dietinguished citizens of the dual-Empire are urging freedom from the German alliance and the negotiation of a separate peace. Thus an Austrian diplomat, writing in the Gazette de Lausanne, Anye: "In spite of the state of siege and the silence imposed upon theen, public opinion, owing to the news which has filtered through from abroad, is beginning to be agitated. To me the situation is clear; we must make pence, If we were victorious in this war Germany would extract from victory all the benefits, would probably try to subjugate us, or, in the best bypothesis, might let us be lost in the inextricable difficulties of the Eastern question. If, on the contrary, as seems unhappily possible, the Dual Alliance of collapses under the weight European coalitions, we will pay the largest part of ousts of the adventurous policy of the Ger man Empire.
