Starting' as an aggression of Austria
Hungary on Serbia- to revenge the mur
der of her crown prince and princess
by- Slav assassins, the war spread to
the'ljigh seas of both hemispheres and
to -all three continents of the old
world.
In a score of regions there has been
fighting which would have held world
wide attention were it not -for the
mighty battle lines in France and Po
land. Serbia's own war was a greater trial
to her than either of the two preceding
Balkan struggles. Assisted by Monte
negro, the little Slavic, nation, twice
threw the hosts of Franz ocsef beyond
her borders and , inflicted tosses of
about 330,000 men, but She suffered se
verely herself.
Austrians Invade Serbia.
The Austrians . invaded : Serbia in
great fprce about August 15 and pene
trated to the Jadar river, where on
August ' 17 a great five day tattle
ended in the rout of the Teutons.
The Austrians returned soon in
stronger force than ever. They reached
Valjevo, where on November 17 the
Serbians met a' defeat. The sufferings
of the invaded district were horrible.
The country was turned into a desert,
villages and farm houses were razed
and many women and - children were
tortured and murdered. "
With their supply of artiljery am
munition exhausted, the Serbians now
had to retreat. - The Austrians, believ
ing them crushed,; "Withdrew six army
corps for reinforcements against the
victorious Russians in Gatioia.
Shells and English' tars with naval
guns reached the ; Serbians and on Ue

The three day battle which followed
was a great disaster j; for the Aus

pieces. No less than : f 0,000 men were
taken prisoners, with - an f enormous
amount of wif supplies, rifles and

At the end of the first year of war
not a German fighting craft," except
submarines, is known to be at large
outside the Baltic sea. The 'Austrian
warships are confined to the upper
Adriatic, and the Turkish fleet to the
Sea of Marmora and adjacent straits.
The merchant marine of the central
powers has disappeared utterly from
the ocean higiu-ays. Sixty million
dollars' worth of German shipping lies
Idle in the docks of New York, while
several times as much is bbttled up
elsewhere.
At the same time the German sub
marines have inflicted enormous
looses of allied shipping. No effective
means has been devised to combat th,e
underwater boats. According to some
accounts, Germany is now building no
warships except submarines, ' and is
launching two a week of these.

Jobs for everybody and no man with

the prediction for the coming winter,

Secretary Wilson bases his prophecy
upon rapid lesserfing. of present unem

federal employment bureaus.
Extensive -cooperation between the
department of agriculture, commerce
and labor is counted upon to render
less difficult the employment bureau's
problem of bringing the man and Job
together, and It is in furtherance o
the plan of utilizing the facilities of
the several departments that Secre

made.

GERMAN DICTATION OF
E
US'
Washington Discusses Effpct
ot berman Victory but Does
1. Not Hint at Change,
Washington, July 81. -U. P.) Sug
gestions that the United States should
wegh the. possibility of a German, dic
tation of peace in Europe were heard
here tonight.
They came from army men whd did
not disguise their belief that Russia is
threatened with defeat. If the czar's
forces should be. disposed of, it was
pointed out, it, may not be long; before
the British and Trench will experience
difficulty in holding their own.
Not a hint was heard that the
United States would yield in- an)r of
its demands on the kaiser. All that
was intimated- was that the situation
calls for serious consideration by; the
Washington administration. For j the
moment diplomats . were concerned
mainly with news-that Germany has
forwarded its message on the William
P. Frye case. It was looked for "here
about Monday. Its main points,- it
was believed, will be these:,
Claim of Jnstlfloation Expected.
(1) -Announcement of s prize1 court
decision ; concerning damages 'for . the
loss "of the Frije's full and incidents
losses to the owners. .
(2) Contention that Germany had
a right to sink the Frye because of
danger to the raider , which . did the
sinking. . (v
(3) Expression of the German
opinion that the prize court decision
closes the incident.
It was expected the United States
will deny that danger from-'"enemy
warships forced the Prinz Eitel Fred
eric!) to sink the Frye; that It will
stand by the 1828 , Prussian-Anierican
treaty's requirement that contraband
must be delivered out of the hold' of
a neutral , vessel , without damage -to
tbe Vessel itself and that it . will re
ject the prize court's decision, whether
financially satisfactory or not, on the
ground that no prize court ean Inter
pret a treaty. j .' --C'V :' '.v j..--:
r XbeHaa Cass JTo ' Alarmin.
The Frye .Incident, however, ,' was
considered a - dlnlomatle -matter which
cannot lead -to a break: in relations. '
The administration was faced by
the . Biew - problem of "the; sinking by
a German submarine of the Leyland
liner Iberian, on which , an
muleteer named Wiley ,lost Ills life
firom shock and superficial wounds.
x The case was pot deemed likely to lead
to a controversy, however, inasmuch as
all accounts agreed that the submarine
gave tbe Iberian due ' notloe to" heave
to for a aeareh and only shelled and
finally sank the . liner when it tried
to' escape. '-,':: y - - ;
