The Slavs, however; are so divided against themselves. that the Germans of Austria and the Magyars of Hungary control the government between them. Language, civilization and religion are the barriers to the unity of the Slavic family. Thus in Austri- an Poland, the Poles and Ruthen- ians not only differ in speech but also are alienated by ancient cus- toms and prejudices and worship under different crosses.

But in Hungary, where the suf-~ frage is still narrowly restricted. a Magyar oligarchy controls the kingdom.
