These remarks were made two days
after the recent return to the position
OF chief of staff OF Conrad Won Hoetzen-
dorf, the most daring, militant and cap
etle soldier in all Europe. Conrad Won
hoetzendorf had surprising triumph

after quarrel with the late Count Alloys
Won Aehrenthal, he was dismissed from
the post OF chief of staff. which he had
held since 1906, and was given the far
less influential post of inspectorj of the
E,my. Conrad had offended the peace
loving Aehrenthal by his too bold prepa-
rstions and too costly expenditure of the
expected war with Italy. The army was
furious. Conrad will return" was the
prophecy, "and when he returns the war
with Italy will begin" The first part
of this forecast has been fulfilled. Conrad
has returned, and now Austria expects
that the second part will be fulfilled

gotiators notwithstanding, Auc-
tria is marching into war. Those to
whom this is not evident reckon with
out that brilliant impetuous soldier, the
famous Conrad Won Hoetzcndorf, chief
OF the Austrian staff. He wants war. and
Let all the peace loving emperors, foreign
ministers and ambassadors can say him
ray. Conrad believes that armies exist to
make war; that, given too much rest
they deteriorate; and that. IN the clash of
arms and the roll of cannon. the glory of
generals and chiefs of staff is to be
found.
Furthermore, the war is coming because
Austria wants il; because she cannot get
along with Russia; because she believes
it is all important that she disputes with
her eastern neighbor the headship of the
Slav people; and finally because she views
with alarm Russias rapid recovery from
the crushing blow dealt her by Japan.
One of the best judges OF foreign poll
tics in Europe, the only man who long
foresaw the Balkan war, predicted tnat
tr Austro- Russian war would follow. Tho

the Balkan war, he predicted, Austria
Hungary would go to war with Russia In
order to settle. once and for all, the dl-
yiding question of the Slavs. He gave
tia reasons. "A Slay victory over Turkey
will so raise the race consciousness Of
the Siav states and OF their friend, Rus
sic, that Austria will be threatened with
disruption through the secession OF her
