Unrest in nearly every country visited was observed by Mr H. Brash, a Dunedin barrister, who returned by the Maunganui. which arrived at Wellington recently, after his third world trip. He said everybody on the Continent expected a change in the political situation. At any rate, he noticed a flag at half-mast on crossing the border from Austria to Hungary, and was told that the flags would always be at half-mast in Hungary so long as she was dismembered. Black flags hanging on Parliament House in Budapest were signs of mourning, to hang there while the country was cut off from territory essential for its welfare. Continental people considered there would be war sooner or later. He gathered that Austria was opposed to union with Germany.—Press Association
