united run uasio win.
Berlin, March 21. That a genoral
European war is a real danger; that
this struggle will Mart the moment Bul
garia and Roumania clash; that Russia
is the firebrand of Europe; that Austria
is in the taut ditch and can concede no
more, and that Germany has appropriat
ed the enormous sum of $230,000,000
for military purposes only because she
faces possible national extinction were
the remarkable statements made here
today to the United Press by Professor
Hans Delbrucck, Germany's foremost
historian.
"Under the spur of the Pan-Slavic
movement, ltnssia is pursuing a relent
less policy, which if not curbed, can
not but lead towar. It is playing a
strong hand in the Balkans, It is stif
fening Bulgaria and Sorvia against
making acceptable and reasonable peace
terms with Turkey; stiffening Bulgaria
against Rouniuiiia's demands and
threatening Roumania if tho latter
-darso go to wur with Bulguria, and,
lastly, through its support of Sorvia
and Montenegro, has forced Austria to
the limit of concessions.
Bussia Masses Troops.
"Austria receded from its position
on the Sanjak of Novipaear; Austria
gave up its dreum of marching to Sa
lonika; it moderated its just demands
upon Scrvia. It gave up rights to
which it was and is entitled. And the
Russian influence pressed on relentless
ly for more. Russia massed 300,000
men on the German and Austrian fron
tiers and today lias something like 1,'
500,000 men under arms double the
sizo of tho German army.
"Austria's strength as Germany's
ally has been largely absorbed by the
new situation in the Balkans. Ger
many must be propnrod to take care of
itself to face two ways toward Rus
sia and toward France, for tho latter
would certainly tnko advantage of any
-war with Russia, to carry out its "ro
vengo." Were Gormnuy caught unpre
pared between two such forces, it might
go hard with us. Furthermore, Ger
many will not and cannot see Austria
its ally forced to further conces
sions, Oermany Realizes Danger.
"The German press and people are
almost unanimous in tho appreciation
of the gravity of Gormany's dangerous
position geographically and politically,
the necessity for such measures, and
only differ as to the means by which
the necessary money is to be raised,"

"That danger is Russia at the present

hope of averting such a war, Gormany
is simply trying to make itself strong
enough to take such defensive measure
as will discourage starting such a war.

NOTYET IN SIGHT
Professor Weist Will Bring
Suit Against the Salem
School Board.
TESTIMONY WAS FALSE
Says the Girl, Who Now States That
Her Charges Against Welst Were
All Untrue.
About January 1 of this year, as
most Salem people1 will remember, W.
A. Weist, former principal of the Engle
wood school, was discharged because of
alleged immoral relations with a girl
17 years old, a former pupil of Wieit's.
The girl, whose name we refrain from
giving, graduated in June last year, but
her graduation was conditioned on her
concluding certain studies in which
work it is claimod Woist assisted her,
at his school. About January 1 the
confessed to Mrs. Pickering, who is
pastor of the Friends' church here, that
in November last, Woist had forcibly
takon advantage of hor in his office.
She made an affidavit to this effect,
and after considering it and other evi
dence, tho board niado an order dis
charging Wcist as tho charges had
been sustained. The hearing was for
mal, Attorney Bingham appearing for
tho board and Grunt Corby for Mr.
Weist, and he wns declared guilty, as
stuted.
The girl claims that after hor grad
uation she accepted a position in a lo
cal laundry, and that while working
there sho occasionally visitod tho school
and incidentally Woist, who was help
ing her in her studies, and thut it was
on ono of theso visits that ho accom
plished his purpose, and seduced her
forcibly.
Recently attornoys for Mr. Weist
have secured from tho girl an affidavit,
o a statement to tho effoct that hor
churges against Woist wero not truo,
and that in fact, sho lied in accusing
him. It is understood this later con
fession has boen securod largely
through tho efforts of, Mrs. Lola O.
Baldwin, of Portland, or at least, this
is the statement of attorneys.
It is alleged that in a few days suit
will bo brought for damages by Weist
against the school board, and it Is ex
pected somo disclosures will result.
