Austria Tracks Socialist Soldiers

The Government of Austria, fearing the growth of Socialism in that country, especially among the rank and file of the army, has gone to work systematically to learn the names of all the recruits who belong to the Socialists. Socialism is said to be spreading rapidly in the army, and the government fears its influence upon the discipline and efficiency of that organization. The Socialists are demanding a reduction of the standing army, or its total abolition, and the substitution of a system of national militia.
