(Correspondence of Associated Preaa.)
V Hi NX A, Austria, Dec. . An early
peace la not looked for by the Austro
llungarlun government. Whilo no offl
clul statement to thla effect has been
made, or for that matter would bo made,
the war measures now In hand ami those
contemplated indicate that a cessation of
hostilities In the near future la moft un
likely. Military prei rations continue to be
mado throughout the dual empire, as
tho Associated Preaa correspondent was
able to olMierve on a recent trip over a
considerable part ot Austria and Hun
gary. Along many of the principal
lines In eastern and northern Hungary
military field works are being laid out
on a large scale and the two principal
cities of the empire, Vienna and Buda
pest, are being prepared for defense In a
like manner. To the north and eaat of
Vienna no less than nine lines of defense
may be observed, and the field work of
Budapest are even more extensive. Home
of the entrenchments, redoubts and ar
tillery emplacements which constitute
these works were established some time
ago, to judge by their settled appearance,
but more are being laid out. Thousands
of men and a large number of excavating
machines are employed in tho further ex
tension of theso precautionary measures.
".applies Stored In f are.
In addition to establishing field works
along tho railroads, tho trackage of many
yurds I being enlarged, and supplies
now are being stored In such a manner
that they msy bo .used cither for local
purposes or easily sent to a front further
out, the various braes supplying one an
other. The additional tracks have made
it possible to keep moat of the supplies
In tho oara. so, that at very ahort notice
they may be moved aa the exigencies ot
the campaign demand. I
The establishment of a large cholera !
camp at Zsolna. or Bllleln, as the place
la called by the Germans, is further
proof that the Auatro-IIungarlan govern
ment doos not count upon an eurly ter
mination of the war. The coming of wln-
I tor hiis virtually eradicated cholora, and
j It Is altogether unlikely that this dread
disease.' will reappenr until tho ground
I thawed. ' Nevertheless, the AuMro
Hungarlun government la spending about
IfiOO.ooO on the Zaolna cholera camp, in
order that It may meet a possible gen
eral epidemic next spring.
Arrangements have been., made for
doubling tho capacity of the ammunition
plants In the country. Tho largest of
these, that of the Manfred Weiss con
cern at Budapest, haa heretofore pro
duced more than 2.600,000 rounds of
mall arms ammunition dally. This out
put has been Increased considerably dur
ing the last three weeks, and it la ex
pected to reach the enormous total of
5.000.000 rounds per day. The same plant
Is extending 1U production of artillery
ammunition, out no figures on whst the
output has been In the post or will be
In the future are available. Meanwhile
additional batteries of various types of
guns are being made by the rkoda
works at Pllsen, Boherr.la. This firm also
has been given recently a large contract
for more machine guns.
Large Armies la Tralala.
All the larger Austro-Hungarlan cities
have established drill cam pa. The largest
of these Is near Budapest, and there
some 100, 000 men are either being trained
or given a chanoa to recuperate from the
hardshlpa of extended service at the
front. Near Vienna about 90,000 men
are being trained, and there are similar
camps at Oras. Prague, Presaburg,
Temesvar, Debrecsln, Kausenburg,
Klagenfurt, Brunn, O.niutx, l.ini. Agram
and other citlea. It is said that these en
campments contain at present more than
WO.000 men, many of whom would have
been called to the colors by conscription
thla fall and during Ulfi. Among these
reserves also is a large number of vol
unteers and levies of olden landwehr.
Though the government haa seen fit to
keop this news from the foreign and even
the home press. It is a fact that re
cently a monitor of more powerful type
than the Bodrog claas has been put In
commission and that another of these
veaaela Is now being finished In the Uu
dat eat government yards. It Is under
stood that two other monitors of this
tyie are nearlng completion, and that
the keela for a number ot other have
been laid. Work on them 1 being rushed.
The new monitors have double- the
armament ot the Bodrog and Teinea class
They are armed with three. Instead of
two. long range guna and these are or a
s'.iiilitly larger caliber than thoae In
stalled on tho Bodrog. Moreover the
thiikneas of the turret armor has been
materially Increased. Instead of carry
ing one high angle piece, aa do the mon
itors of the oiler claaa, the new veaaela
will be armed with two, In half turrets
aft, while the quick fire pieces on the
upper deck will be Increased from two
to four, and the machine guna from one
to alx. It l believed that thla fleet will
be an Important factor In the defenae of
the Danube and Save rivers.

There seems to be no shortage in the
chemical and metal supplies needed In

(Correspori'lcnoe of the Aso iated Press )
VIENNA, Dec. :5 In A ustro-Hungary,
an In Oct many, a tenacious adherence
to tradition, rather than the lessons of
recent military history, has been re
sponsible for the retention of various
cavalry organizations, which were In
tended to take part In war very much
in the manner of the camrslens of isc,
and ItTO.
Though the Boer war. the campaign In
Manchuria and more recently the opera-
j tiona in tho Balkans had demonstrated,
as military experta claimed, that cavalry
was a thing of the pat In this era of
machine guna, the Austro-Hungarlan am
Herman governments continued to main
tain lar;e number of these expensive
toops. Their value now has been proved
to be alight. It la asserted. Already most
of the Austro-Hungarlan and C.eiman
cavalry regiments have modified their
field work considerably no that now they
are little more than mounted Infantry.
For reconnaiHftance purposes and what,
I known as "screen" work the cavalry
remains now, as In other ware, . very
Important arm. It may also still be used
when reinforcements must be sent hur
rledly, or when a flank movement of the
enemy is to be frustrated, but the old
cavalry charge would seem to have been
relegated to oblivion.
The losses of the cavalry nrganlxationa
have been frightfully heavy in the war,
It Is said, ao heavy In fsct that they
finally have overcome tho strong hold
v.'hlcb the cavalry traditions hsd on the
military world of Europe.
Hereafter cavalry will be used only for
field Intelligence, patrol, cover and re
inforcement purposes. Outside of that,
the men now fight In trenches, aa do the
Infantrymen. In the Austro-Hungarlan
army much cavalry has been converted
Into machine gun personnel.
Excellent work hue been done by the
men on horseback now and then, but
usually In operations not considered here
tofore the proper sphere of cavalry. The
Honveda of Hungary, for Instance, be
came the terror of the "ervtan troops.
It is predicted that thei-e will be little
cavalry In Kurope after this war.
