Slav Versus Great Struggle For Disturbing the. WHILE the iruiuedlnte cause of Austrla-Hungary'e attack on Servia Is tbe demand for reparation for the murder of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife, the Duchess of Hobeiiberg, tbe ultimate causes are the movement of the Uapsburg empire toward the south and the desxrnte efforts of the etlre Serb (Servian) race to regain complete national existence. Ever since the repulse of tbe Turkish army from Vieuna In 1GS3 the Aus tria us have steadily fought their way southward, expecting ultimately to make their way to the Aegean over the ruins of the Turkish empire. Aus tria, like Russia, was not unwilling to see small buffer states set up to oc cupy the middle ground during the In tervals of rest in her forward move ment, and so most of tbe Balkan states of today came Into being. Of tbe Servian race, which In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries ruled a vast empire, extending over the western half of the Balkan peninsula and the eastern coast of tbe Adriatic, practically all had come under Turkish domination in the sixteenth century. For twenty years of that century, about Servia was under Austrian rule, then reverted to Turkey. The Servian People. Only a minority of the Servian race live In Servia and tbe Macedonian ter ritory recently won from the Turks. Photo by American Press Association. CZAB NICHOLAS OF RUSSIA. UVicnolas it., the czar of all the Russlas, i the supreme ruler of the largest Slavic race In the world and may be considered the head of all Slavs, although millions of them are scattered through various countries and are not under Russian rule. A large proportion of Austria's population are Slavs, Germany has a large Slavic population In its eastern sections, and the inhabitants of Servia, Montenegro. Roumania, Bosnia, Herze govina, Bulgaria and the other countries of the Balkan peninsula are also to a large percentage Slavs. t Montenegro Is Inhabited by people eth nically and linguistically tbe same; so are Bosnia und Herzegovina; so is much of tbe hinterland of Dalmatia and large districts in Hungary. Croa tia and Slavonia. peopled by the same race, are called tbe "Ireland of Hun gary" because of the alleged persecu tions by their rulers. A hundred years ago part of the Servian race was sub ject to Turkey and part to the Haps burg monarchy. Tbe part under Turk ish domination has won its freedom; tbe otber has not "Austria's policy of repression of the Serb peoples is responsible for this ca lamity," said Professor Michael 1. Pu pin of Columbia university, comment ing on tbe assassination of tbe Aus trian archduke. Professor Pupin comes of Servian stock and typifies the big. dark haired and d:irk eyed men of his race. Naturally he strongly sympa thizes with the Servians, and views expressed by him clearly reflect these Slavophil sentiments nnd sympathies. "There are two recent events that really foreshadowed some disaster to any one familiar with the tempera ment of the Servian people," he said. "These are the strike of the students in the government schools in Bos nia and Herzegovina that began sev eral months ago and has not been settled, and, second, that probably of greater Importance, the military ma neuvers of the Austrian army " that have been going on In these two coun tries under the direction of the crown prince. Strike of the Students. "The student strike began, ypu re member, when a government professor In the school at Mpstar, nerzcgovlna, made reflection on the Serb raca The students of bis class rose in a body and asked him to retract He refused. They pitched him out of the classroom and used blm rather roughly. These fifty Serb students went on strike. They are only high school students really, boys about sixteen to nineteen years old. They refused to return till the professor was dismissed. Tbey were expelled. Then throughout Herze govina and Bosaia tbe students strui A the Teuton Supremacy That Is Peace of Europe In sympathy. The government tent troops and officers to restore order. Tbe students refused to give In. And so tbe fight stood deadlocked at the outbreak of war. "Nothing could be more calculated to provoke the people of Herzegovina and Bosnia to rage than to have Austrian troops thrown across their borders to execute maneuvers along the Servian froutier. They are Serbs, of the same stock as the people of Servia proper, and they saw the archduke massing his forces In mimic war preparatory to tbe war which all felt must come some day between the two nations." Austria and Servia." Austrian Repression of Servia. The Serbs of the present kingdom became autonomous In 1830, but re volted In 1870-78, aiming at complete freedom. With them Joined their kins men of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1S73 at Berlin the great powers of Europe sought to rearrange tbe Balkan peninsula, and two of them tried to satisfy their ambitions for self aggran dizement Russia strengthened her old resolution to acquire Constantinople by transforming Bulgaria Into a Russian province, and Austria-Hungary renewed ber determination to gain an outlet on the Aegean at Salonlkl and to extend her Adriatic frontage by crushing and absorbing Servia, Albania and Mace donia. Tbe Russian plans were defeated by the genius and valor of Alexander of Ratten burg and Stephen Stambuloff. Those of Austria seemed far more like ly to succeed. The Berlin treaty of 1878 gave her temporary control of the two great Turkish provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina and also of the small er sanjuk of Novi Bazar, lying between Servia and Montenegro, and it so shut Servia In among other states as to make ber almost entirely dependent upon Austria-Hungary for commercial or other intercourse with the rest of the world. Thenceforward a cardinnl principle of Austro-Hungarian policy was to In duce Servia to yield her independence j and become a mere province of tbe dual realm. As a long step toward this end Austria-Hungary a few years ago. In alleged violation of the Berlin Bosnia b A. oJ TRIA BUDAPEST Jf v H 3 N f R- Y . I1 rap; MAP SHOWING BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA. One of the great causes of the war between Austriaiand Bervla was the annexa tion by Austria of Bosnia and Herzegovina, both largely populated by Berbs. treaty, forcibly annexed the Slavic states of Bosnia and Herzegovina. But in doing so she overreached herself," for she thus hastened tbe formation of that Balkan league which in one of the most amazing wars on record drove tbe Turks out of Macedonia and Albania and' most of Thrace, and partitioned nine-tenths of the former Turkish em pire In Europe among the four mem bers of the league. Servian Agitation. This well nigh fatal blow at Austrian ambitions aroused the dual realm to desperate efforts, and through a threat of a general European war It induced the other great powers to back, or, at least, to sanction, its course In Inter vening to take from Servia what that power considered the legitimate spoils of victory by erecting Albania into a kingdom which should be under Aus trian influence. All this nnturally embittered the mil lions of Serbs who are held subject In Austria-Hungary and Incited them to form societies and to aglfute Tor their liberation. In Jue occurred the assas- alnntlon of the Austro-llungarlnn heir presumptive at the Bosnlau capital lu circumstances which were mysterious and suspicions. The AtiMro-Uutignrinn government followed up the incldeut with a series of more or less direct charges of Servian responsibility, cul tnlnatlng In a peremptory demand. Thirty years ago Servia was t cats paw for Austria In Balkan schemes, with Russia backing Bulgaria, but now the Servians can count on Russian sympathy, for their cause hi Indirectly the cause of the entire Slavic race in its double struggle to be free from Ger man rule and to light for the heritage of Coustuntluople. Austria's Slav Rulo. Commenting upou forcible annexa tion by Austria of tbe Serb provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1008 a correspondent of the New York Even ing Post, writing from St Petersburg, said: "The Austrian bureaucracy proves It self a Juster, hmunucr, and stronger ruler of the Slavs than the Itusslan bureaucracy. Bosuta, Herzegovina, Croatia, Dalmatia. not to mention Ser via and Montenegro, have better gov ernmeuts than Russia has. Tbe south em Slavs ought to come to the help of their northern brethren, Instead of calling on the latter to assist them. It Is the southern Slavs who are com paratively successful, enlightened. tree, and the Russians who are Igno rant backward, enslaved. In Russia ouly 3.8 per cent of the children go to school, while in Servia, Bulgaria, Mid the Slav provinces which are under Austrian rule the proportion is more thau twice as high. In calling on Rus sia for h'lp the Serbs don't know what they are doing. They forget that their invitation could only brlug to their assistance, not the Russian people, but the armed servants that bold the Rus sian people down. It may seem para doxical to say that If the Russians did Intervene and did win, tbe secoud state of the Serbs would be worse than the first, but unfortunately, history proves that this Is exactly what has occurred In tbe past" The Policy of Austria. The policy of Austria In the Balkan region has ever been consistent and lu accordance with the one great aim of the western powers of Europe to hem In Russia so as to prevent It from gain ing a foothold on the Mediterranean coast For the sake of that aim Tur key was permitted to continue its ex istence In spite of its misrule and over beamnce. In pursuance of tbe same policy the terms of the treaty of San Stefuno were annulled by the treaty of Berlin to preveut Russia from ob taining Important advantages and eventually the control over the port of Cetlnje through an arrangement with Montenegro. Austria was well aware of the fact that Servia as well as Montenegro a was subsidized by Russia and in com plete sympathy with the aims of tbe great Slav empire. An expansion of Servia meant to Austria an Increase of the danger threatening from Russian ascendency, and for that reason the expansion of Servia bad to be stopped. To do this effectively Austria was com pelled to annex Bosnia and Herzego vina, separating Servia from the Adri atic. Inspired and abetted by Russia, Ser via had intended to obtain control of Bosnia and Herzegovina, nnd tbe an nexation of these former Turkish prov inces by Austria was a great blow to Scrvla's aspirations and to Russia's se cret plans. It was tills disappointment more perhaps ttinn any other cause which precipitated the recent wars on the Balkan peninsula. Russian Influ ence has been dominant In Servia. as It Iihh in Montenegro and In. the otber so culled Danube principalities ever since they came into existence, and Austria's fight is really directed more against Russia's schemes than against Survla's national independence.
