THE CHAMPION OF THE MAGYARS.

(BY A NEUTRAL OBSERVER IN THE TIME"}

The position which Count Tisza, the Prime Minister of Hungary, occupies in the fanire of the Dual Monarchy is without parallel. He seems to be the one dominant porsonality who, by his uncompromising attitarie, is able to control the turbulent clements within his own country.

THE BATTLE OF THE CANAL.

FIRST-HAND ACCOUNT.

FIGHTING ON LAND AND WATER.

The following full and accurate account of the Battle of the Suez Canal is by a Special Correspondent of the fimes at Ismailia.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, APRIL 9TH, 1913.

THE ATTACK ON EL KANTANA. At the same time as the fighting ceased at the forry it died down at El Kantara. There the Turks, after a plucky night attack, came to grief on our wire entanglements. Another attempt to advance from the south-east was forced back by an advance of the Indian troops. The attack, during which it was necessary to advance on a narrow front over ground often marshy with recent inundations against our strong position, never had n chance. Indeed, the enemy were only en- aged with our outpost line.

Though a Conservative, believing that "the rule of iron is the male of God," he is maintained in power by a so-called "Party of Work," which is a pseudonym for the old "Liberal," or Doolist, Party which, with one brief, interval hus ruled Hungary sitice 1867. Violently hated by his many political opponents, he renisins impassive to their jibes for long periods, and then strikes sud- denly with all the strength at his conmand. He has had them ejected from Farliament and has met and wounded many of them on the duelling grourki. Withal he is bon père de famille, and takes the greatest interest in his vast estates, for he is a member of the landed gentry, rather than of the aristocracy He inherited his title from an unele.

From his father, Keloman Tisza, who was for 15 years Prime Minister of Hungary, he inherited the most important feature of his policy, the "Magyarizing," of Hungary. This appears to be Count Tion's most cherished aim. In its pursuit he has unquestionably discriminated against the non-Magyar population of the Kingciom, but bas on the other hand strengthered the position of the Magyars, not only in their own land, but in the affairs of the Dual Monarchy.

ISMAILIA, Febrsary. 10. batween the enemy's reconnoitring parties Though skirmishing hul taken place and our outposts during the latter part of January, the main attack was not leveloped until February 2, when the enemy began to move towards the Ismailia Ferry. They met a reconnoitring party of Indien tops of all which a violent sandstorm put a sudden en about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The main attacking force pushed forward towards its destination after nightfall. From 25 to 30 galvanized iron pontoon boats, saren and a half metres in length, which had been dragged in carts across the desert, were hauled by: hand towards the water, with one or two! rafts made of kerosine tins in a wooden frame. All was reatly for the attack.

The first warning of the enemy's approach was given by a sentry of a mountain battery, who heard, to him, an unknown tongue across the water. The noise soon increased. It would seem that Mudjal Ideon ("Holy Warriorsanid to be mostly old Tripoli fighters--accompanied the pontoon section and Regulars of the 75th Regiment, for loud exhortations often in Arable of Brothers die for the faith; we can die but once," betrayed the enthusiastic irregular.

The Egyptians waited till the Turks were pushing their boats into the water; then the Maximus attached to the battery suddenly spoke and the guns opened with ease at point-blank range at the men and boats crowded under the steep bank opposite them

With this the tighting ended, and the sub- scquent operations were contined to "round- ing up prisoners and to the capture of a considerable amount of military material left behind. The Tarks who departed with their guns and baggage during the night of the Brl still seemed to be moving eastward.

From the Magyar point of view the establishment of an independent Kingdom of Poland, including Galkin as a buller State between Russin and Hungary, semol, to the persons with whom I spoke, of the atmost importance. This may account, in part, for the attitude of indiference of the Mounichy with regard to the fate of this Austrian province. The crashing of the "Greater Serbia" movement is to be secured, not so much by the conquest of Serbia as by the removal of Russophil agitators, and particularly by a change in the Serbian dynasty.

The general impression I gathered was that in the Dual Monarely, many feel the Austrian ambi- tions and plans are secondary to those of the two other members of the Alliance, Austria will pay dearly for the war, no mat ter what the outcome; to lose as little as possible seems her chief concern.

By the night of February i the enemy had prepared his plan of attack. To judge both from his movements during the next twą days and the documents found on prisoners and while making demonstration at El it was proposed to attack. El Kan- thra Ferdan further south, and prevent rein- forcement at the first-named post. The demonstration at Ismailia Ferry by the right wing of the Kataib-el-Kheil force which had been partly refused till then in order to provent a counter-attack from the Ferry, was designed to occupy the attention of the Ismailia garrison, while the inain attack was delivered between the Tussam post, eight miles south of Ismailis, and the Serapeum post, some three miles farther south. Eshref Bey's highly irregular force in the meantime was to demonstrate near Seez. The selection of the Tussum and Sew- peun section as the principal objective was dictated both by the consideration Mr J. Grant the success here would bring the Turks a few miles from Ismailia, by the in- formation received from patrols that the west bank of the Canal between the posts, heads, were unoccupied by our troops. The both of which may be described as bridge- west bank between the posts is steep and. marked by a long, narrow belt of trees. The east bank also falls steeply to the Canal, but belünd it are numerous hollows, full of brush- wood, which give good cover.

was delivered.
