The skilled politicians, for twenty-five years Interference of Germany which held each has been held in check only by back Russia's hand extended to aid the the pressure of outside influences. But bow the tragic death of (he heir ap parent has put in Austria's bands an Serbs was all that prevented a serious war. Here agaHr Servla feit herself outraged and defeated by the united excuse- so powerful that she dares to ; Germanic influence, and nursing her use it as a weapon Stand by Their Ally. In the present situation, as in every fiareup In the Balkans, the importance lies not so much in tbe countries in volved as in the probability of the en tanglement of other nations and the possibility therefrom of that dread bo gey, a general European war. Monte negro has already announced that ber fortunes are cast with Servla. Servla also, by reason of the understanding she has with Greece and Roumania. might hope for support from them. Germany and Italy have declared their Intention of standing by their ally, Aus tria, though no one really believes that their Intention is to do more than to keep other nations off and so leave Austria a clear field. Bulgaria, while claiming to remain neutral, would certainly be glad if she eould snatch the chance to revenge her self for her defeat by Servia in the sec end Balkan war. But more Important than any of these is the attitude of Russia, of which nothing as yet has been said. With Russia interfering as the chief protector of tbe Slav people Germany and Italy could hardly avoid fceing actively involved. Without this Interference Austria can almost cer tainly hope for a clear ring. Protector of the Slav. Russia aspires to be the protector of the Slav people and while she has hitherto failed to play that role with any great degree of glory she still tlings to it It was to her that Servia jfooked for assistance when she saw Bosnia and Herzogovina slip finally mrougn uer nngers. Kussia was eager and willing to respond, but was in no eondition to do so. She was still pros trated from the Japanese war and at the first hint that her Interference in tiehalf of Servia would be met by Ger many coming to the aid of Austria she eould do nothing but maintain a neu tral attitude. But Russia now Is in a different posi tion and Is eager for an opportunity to rehabilitate her military reputation. She has a new army, newly organized, and would not be averse to engaging in a war that would have a stronger ap peal to the spirit of her people than did Aer 111 fated adventure in the east The Russo-Turklsh war made great hanges In the Balkans. Servla proper btained complete independence, but Bosnia and Herzegovina were left nom inal Turkish dependencies, but really to be occupied by Austrian troops. The consequence of this was a four year insurrection against the Austrinns. the effects of which have never dis appeared. The Austrians have spent large amounts of money on the coun try, hut never allowed It autonomy; and In 1908-9, using as an excuse tbe hurts she once more set herself to wait for her opportunity. The Balkan War. It came with the outbreak of the Balkan war, when by a series of brill iant campaigns the Servians advanced straight through Albania to Durazzo, thus seizing the coveted seaport It la But the fruits of this war were In part taken from them by Austria, whose diplomatic activity was rcspoa sllile tor the ruling of the powers, which compelled the Servians to give up part of their conquests in Albania Thus Servla lost her chance to get seaport and remains a landlocked now er, her only outlet being through the friendly Greek porta on the Aegean sea. But the Servian victories In Mace donia and the Greek capture of Sa- lonlkt put an unexpected obstacle In the way of Austria's march to the south. No more could the dual mon archy hope to Inherit Snloulkl and the land between that port and the fron tier of Bosnia on the final downfall of Turkey: Servla was uow squarely across her path. So the Balkan wars left the Servians confident of their military ability, elat ed by victory, determined on complete national unity and angered by AuS' trla's continued hold on the northern part of the nation and by her uctlon In depriving the nation of an outlet to the sea. These wars left Austria-Hungary with Increased difficulties In dealing with the Slav tribes, particularly the Servians, now in her dominions, and convinced that the march to the south ward must be given up altogether un less Servla could be put out of the way. Conflict of European Powers. The conflict among the European powers, if a clash cannot be averted, will bring two great groups Into op posing array. It will be the third time in five years that the triple al liance (Germany, Austria and Italy) and the triple entente (Iiussln, Great Britain and France) haye been brought face to face In hostile attitudes. For the eternal European Issue of balance of power is to the fore again. Five years ago the triple entente protested agninst Austria's annexation of Bosnia, asserting that It was in violation of the agreement at the con gress of Berlin following the Russo Turklsh war. Austria's move blighted the racial and political bones of a small Slavic state which was closely related to Russia. Germany threatened the czar's coun try In 1909, and two years later pre sented to France a demand for a large territorial grant In Morocco because the French protectorate there hnd been recognized. Russia. France and Great Britain apparently were' ready to con test Germany backed down. Since then Germany's reseutmeut has been bitter. Then there is still friction be- tween France and Germany over Alsace-Lorraine. In Tripoli, Italy defeated Turkey, re garded as a German ally. Subsequently came the collapse of Turkish power in Europe and the increased strength of the small Balkaa states. Today these minor states bar Austria from the Aegean, and Servia threatens Austria with the union of southern Slavs. Position of Austria. The Balkan alliance was undoubtedly a Russian move, to counteract which Austria promoted dissension among the Balkan allies, leading to a second war among those states. But Servla defeated Bulgaria. Austria's support of Bulgaria bud alienated Roumania. Servla began to cast longing eyes on Bosnia and Herzegovina. Roumania wanted its millions of countrymen In Hungary. In the dual monarchy there was little national feeling, the diver 11 ffMl A 11 OM11CK (Limited in Supply) in) 0 .

At the same time she was able to prevent Montenegro, also a Serb state, from maintaining her bold on the hardly won city of Scutari Not even the high ly desirable portions of Macedonia that fell to Servia's lot at the end of the war were able to compensate her for her rage of disappointment In the loss of the footing on the sea. Meanwhile the Slavs of Dalmatia are under Hungarian rule; and bore, as In Bosnia and Herzegovina, promises of local self government have never come to anything more than words. Thus the northern half of the Servian race Is still under the Austrian empire. . Meanwhile the southern half was finally united by the victories over Turkey in the war of 1012. In the fall of 1012 the Servians mo bilized 2C0.O0O men in the first three weeks, and later added 145.000 more to the number. And while their losses in this war and in the struggle with Bulgaria In the summer of 1013 were heavy, the Servian troops fonght bril liantly and proved themselves efficient and enduring. sion or races causing dissension and even threatening the disruption of the emplra Austria brought nbout the creation of an Albanian kingdom. The new kingdom has brought Italy and Austria into position for battle, both having uesigns on the country. Of the members of the triple alliance Austria Is the weakest In preparedness for conflict. Serbs and Roumanians, eager to fight are at her southern border. Austrian ruin would mean their nationalization. Greece, siding with the triple entente, must be taken Into account The Gauntlet to Russia. Austria has thrown down tbe gaunt let to Russia. Germans feel that they must stand by the challenge. Servia and Roumania, seeing greater na tionalism In Austria's overthrow, are eager to fight on the entente's side. Austria feels that If it initst go down it will go down lighting, ruthor than yield to Intrigue. It Is the supreme liniment for the lest of power. Behind It all Is the old Issue of balance of power. Neither triple alliance nor triple entente feels that It can maintain Its prestige by backing down. .Notice for 1'uhlicutioii IsoUtad Tract Public Lund Sale. IVpurtmerit of the Interior, j. !.
