WAR NOW SEEMS
 UNAVOIDABLE
Seryia's Proclamation Has Aroused Austrians-Powers Are Struggling to Prevent Actual HostilitieS

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The latest dispatches from the great Euro pean centers indicate that the war 1 cloud in the Balkan is daily becoming more ominous and menacing. The war Ike proclamation issued by the Seryians against Austria has excited all of the chancellories of Europe and there is no concealing the gen eral fear that it is likely to lead TO an early outbreak of actual hostili- ties.
 How this crisis that threatens the peace of the whole Of Europe has been brought about ,s briefly set forth in the following statement. which will give the average Ameri- can reader a better understanding of the main facts in the situation than he probably has been able to gain from the food of cable news during the past feW months-
 Austria. in annexing Bosn'a and Herzegovina, provinces inhabited al most wholly by Serbs. stated that she was merely reguiarizing the long accomplished fact of her possession and virtual government Of the two countries. Austria further contends that she has only to settle matters with Turkey, the anc 'ent and nomi- nal ruler of the provinces in ques- tion, and that SerVia has nothing to say in the matter. as she was no par " tO the. treaty in Berlin. and has suffered no territorial loss.
 Servia, on the other hand. declares that the violation by Austria of the treaty of Berl'n. devised to secure peace and security for all the Balkan states. menaees vital Serb interests and reduces her to a position of ab- solute dependency upon the good win of Austria: that ServiH, as the head of the Serb people, Is entitled to ask Europe to insist upon guarantees for the rights and liberties of the Bos- n ans, and for such concessions from Austria as will secure Servlan inde pendence, political and economic.
 France. Russia and England. as sigDatories of the treaty of Berlin, are prepared to make representations to Vienna, on the understanding that they are not treated as unfriendly na- ions Italy sympathizes with Seryia. but Germany dissuades Austria from listening to these overtures and presses for the coercion of Seryia. to which the others will not consent. Russia has clearly intimated that pub lie opinion will not allow her to be indifferent if Austria makes an at tempt to crush Servia.

ANCIENT ROME HAD ITS
 GO WITH W0MAN'S RIGHTS

clans of the time were largely s5 J erned by their wives. When, through the abolition of the old laws, and by the alterations of ancient maxims. women had become free, they did not make good use of their liberty. according to Boissier's narrative. He says:
 "We cannot enjoy quietly the rights of which we have been long deprived, and the first moments of liberty bring a sort, of intoxication that 1t is difi- cult to check. This .s what happen. cd to the Roman society of that time, and all those irregularities that were shown in the conduct of women then are partly explained by the allure ments and intoxication of their new siberty. Those who loved money, like TereHia, Cicero's wife, hasteaed to take advantage of the right of tfispos- ing of their fortune that had been re stored to them They. shared this with freedmen and agents for doubtful gains end robbed their husbands without scruple, and threw themselves into speculation and trade, to which they brought, together with an all most incred ble rapacity, that taste for small savings and economies winch is natural to them. Those who preferred pleasure gave themselves up to all pleasure with passionate eagerness. The less bold took ad- vantage of the facilities of divorce to pass from one amour to another un- der cover of the law"
 From that time on woman's infiu- ence in Rome appears to have waned rather than increased So much so that during the reign of Augustus, when men marr ed less than ever, the emperor, by way of encouraging matrimony, had read to the citizens of Rome the speech which the Censor Metellus had made. attacking bache- lors during the time of the Gracchi h his speech Metellus said:
 Citizens, if we could live without wives we would all dispense with that incumbranee; but, as nature has will ed it to be as impossible to do with out them as it is disagreeable to live with them. let us sacrifice the charms of so short a life tU the interests or the republic, which must always en- dure7
 So t would seem that when woman got her rights in Rome she lost. to 9 large extent, her attractions; and with the decrease of her attractions came a lessening or her fnnuence.

CRANE MAY LOSE POST
Continued from First Page.)

CCOntlnOed from First PA&e.)
about twenty years ago China objected
to the appointment of the then United
States Senator Henry w. Blair Of New
Hampshire as minister to that country.
Mr.. Blair, like Mr.. Crane had reached
the Pacific coast on his way to the orient
when his further progress was stopped
by a dispatch from the Secretary Of State
ordering him back to Washington.
The episode at the time attracted a
good deal of attention in the press and in
diplomatic circles. AS a senator from
New Hampshire Mr.. Blair had taken a
prominent part In the debates leading up
to the enactment Of the Chinese exclu-
sion act law, and in the course Of those
debates had expressed himself In terms
of opposition to Chinese immigration.
He had taken what now would be called
the Californian or Pacific coast view
that the Chinese were yellow peril, !"
that their religion, morals, habits and Gus
toms were entirely dissimilar to those OF
Americans, and that the increase in i'm
migration would constitute q menace to
American civilization.

Peking, when suddenly it was learned that
China regarded him as persona non

speeches had finally gotten over to China.
and that government declared that any
man who entertained such sentiments to-
ward her subjects was unwelcome as a
representative at the Chinese court. There
was a disposition for time not to send
another minister there. but finally 1t was
decided to overlook China's action and to
recognize the right Of any nation to OBJ
ject to. an envoy on such grounds. In due
course another minister was sent and the
affair passed into history.
