Defeat So Often Kiting In Face of
Servla Kxplodes Her Hatred of
Austria Titanic Struggle
Is Expert's Forecast.
(By Victor. In Chicago Tribune.)
What is the cause of the war be
tween Austria-Hungary and little Ser
via? What is the cause of a conflict
that no one expected a month ago?
Why has the aged, the lonely, the much
tried Emperor-King. Francis Joseph,
violently broken with his past policies
and given or countersigned warlike
orders?
Tie first and obvious answer is that
the crime at Sarayevo the assassina
tion by Serbs of the Archduke and
heir apparent, Francis Ferdinand, and
his faithful and devoted consort is
the cause of the war.
That crime, it Is true, was commit
ted on Austrian soil and by very hum
ble and insignificant persons. But
Austria believes and asserts that Ser
vla Is morally responsible for that foul
deed.
She charges that Servian officials
and army officials instigated it, fur
nished the bombs that were used
unsuccessfully, as it happened, for the
victims fell under the bullets of a pis
tol and had for years aided and abet
ted the Implacable and bitter anti
Austrian propaganda that finally led
to the tragic event at Sarayevo.
Servla has stoutly and warmly de
nied this. She admitted that societies
had existed for the carrying on of a
relentless propaganda against Austria,
but she professed an entire willingness
to suppress them.
Servla Pleads Innocence.
Official participation or connivance
she has disclaimed, pleading that every
state or government has secret socie
ties and conspiracies of all sorts to
deal with, and that failure to suppres.
them Is no evidence of complicity or
However, .Servians method of Investi
gating the plot and its ramifications
left not a little to be desired In the
eyes of Impartial observers.
It was freely said in press dispatches
that In Servla the crime had aroused
no great Indignation. Hence it was nat
ural that Austria should peremptorily
demand of Servla permission to participate-In
the Inquiry into Servian re
sponsibility for the assassinations. Aus
tria had no confidence In the Inquiry
and anticipated a whitewash, or a lame
and impotent conclusion.
In Demand Improper?
Here was, theoretically speaking, a
strange and inadmissible demand. Was
not Servla a sovereign and independent
power? Could she, as such, tolerate for
eign participation or foreign direction
and control of an inquiry by her own
duly constituted authorities? .
Because of this she hesitated and in
her reply to the Austrian note or ulti
matum, raised certain doubts and ques-
UsS did not flatly reject the demand,
but she intimated that it would not be
easy to grant it. Austria declared th
whole reply 8factor3r' '"JhVSo
dishonest, and promptly added that no
opportunity to amend or retreat
from the ground taken therein would
be afforded. Austria had made up her
mind to fight and to punish Servia.
So far the story is simple enough.
But what is back of the smism
between Austria and Servia? What
caused the anti-Austrian movement
and propaganda in Servia? What
caused the assassination at Sarayevo?
Servia Loses Province.
Here, again, the first and-Immediate
cause is not far to seek. The annua
tion by Austria of the Turkish prov
inces of Bosnia and Herzegovina In
1908 by Imperial decree was a severe
blow to Sorvlan ambitions and hopes.
These Ottoman provinces had been
handed over to Austro-Hungarlan rule
by the treaty of Berlin. 1878. They re
mained nominally Ottoman, but Aus
tria, was to occupy and administer
"fine discharged her task ably and ef
ficiently, but the Serb inhabitants of
the provinces never became reconciled
to her rule. The nationality of the in
habitants is Croato-Servlan. and the
majority of the population is Serb.
This majority had hoped to belong to
a greater Servla. and, of course, Servia
bad long cherished the ambition of ac
quiring the provinces by conquest or
compromise.
The annexation- was a coup a etal
and offended not only Servla. but Rus
sia, and the Slav world generally, in
cluding the millions of Austrian and
Hungarian Slavs.
Ruaaia Not Prepared.
Russia might have attempted to in
tervene and use force against Aus
tria at that time, although she was by
no means prepared for a serious war
so soon after her disastrous defeat at
the hands of Japan.
Germany brandished her sword, told
Russia to keep her hands nd."e
accomplished fact was not disturbed.
Servia knew then that she had lost
Bosnia and Herzegovina unless the
Austro-Hungarian empire, should break
uo. as many thought it must break up.
upon the death of Francis Joseph. But
to wait for such a possibility was to
feed on mere crumbs of comfort.
Servla was helpless and resolved to
obtain compensation for her loss at the
expense of Turkey at the first oppor
tunitv The opportunity came with the
recent war between Turkey and the
Balkan allies. The victory of the Bal
kan powers was so complete and the
Territory taken so vast that "there
was glory enough for all" glory as
well as spoils.
Seaport Denied Servla.
6ervia needed and wanted a port on
the Adriatic. She had one, in fact,
having captured it. But Austria inter
posed her veto. She was firm and ob
stinate. She would brook no formida
ble little power of Slav origin and af
filiations on the Adriatic. She would
rather fight than give Servla an outlet
that might be used against her not only
by Servia but by the latter's mighty
-friend and protector, Russia.
Once more Servia yielded: she had
to. Germany backed Austria and Rus
sia was not prepared to throw her hat
Into the ring,, especially since England
and France and Italy were anxious to
prevent the spread of the Balkan war
- and declined to support Servian claims.
This second humiliation and rebuff
served to intensify Servian resentment
and bitterness against Austria. ,
Serb Hatred General.
The sentiment is general and na
tional. This deep nJ strong hostility
creates a soil favorable to plots and
conspiracies. Whether Servian officials

Glandular Tuberculosis has yielded to
Eckman's Alterative when other remedies
failed. Read what it did in this case:
257 LaurUton St., Philadelphia, Pa.
"Gentlemen. In March, lao, my doctor
pronounced my case "Tuberculosis in the
Glands.' and a number of operations in a
hospital failed to benefit me. In the mean
time a friend of mine advised Eck man's
Alterative. The wounds in my neck were
till open and in a frightful condition
when I started to take it. After using
two bottles I found I was improving,
having gained weight, could eat and was
able to sleep. . I continued using it until
I was well. On November 11, 1810, I
started to work, and since that time have
not lost one day's work through sickness.
I highly recommend Eckman's Alterative to
anyone who is suffering from Tuberculosis."
