reached Geneva we were compelled to
change cars. We we're led through a sub
terranean passage under the tracks, but
the further end OF this passage was barred
with chains. II was while the passengers
were packed tightly in this passage that
the panic occurred. The pressure from
behind was so great that many women
were crushed to the floor. The chains
were broken and the crowd fought for
places on the train.
Talk about the exctability Of the
pie so wild as were these panic stricken
Americans. The station authorities imme-
dlatey called a squad OF soldiers. These
cleared the platform with fixed bayonets
and succeeded in restoring a semblance Of
order. We paid for first class compart-

Paris we had TO travel third class.

Special Correspondent, 10 THr srx

ROME, Aug 2.--The attitude of italy
as a member OF the Triple Alliance is
explained in an editorial this morning
OF the most influential newspapers of the
country. 1t says that Italys decision TO
remain neutral is based on three causes
/. The terms OF the Triple Allacns
call for 1talys participation In war
only IL Germany or Austria Hungary
is attacked by another Power. The
present war In not n defensive war,
but one brought on by Austria-Hun-
gary and Germany
. The spirit OF the alliance de-
mands that no warlike action be
taken involving the three countries
without full mutual discussion and
agreement. Italy was not even con-
suited by Austria Hungary and the
course Of events was brought TO her
Knowledge only by news agency re-
ports.
g. When Italy went to war with
Turkey Austria prevented her from
acting with free hand In the Adri-
attic and the .Egean, thereby pro-
longing the war at an enormous cost
in men and money to Italy. Italy
would be justified in acting in pre-
ClstlS the same manner now toward
Austria-IIungary.
The great war IL going to cause pro-
found changes in Europe" is the con-
cluson of the article. We have not
desired 1t and ve are not going to pay
the price
Let us recall the facts" says the
writer. after referring to the attitude
OF Austria and Germany In the first
Balkan war. In which he sees the origin
OF the present conflict. Austria attacked
Servia. Austria made the attack without.
II you please. giving us the slightest
warning OF the events which brought
on the conflict
Austria began hostilitles in such a
fashion that Russia was forced. In order
to safeguard the actual equilibrium In
the Balkans. to proceed to mobilize her
forces. II there had been an
tho mere mobilization OF
tho Russian forces would not have
brought on the war. Russia had shown
herself willing 20 negotiate with Austria
and possibly to come TO AT agreement.
This fact Is essential. just as essentia.
as the attitude Of Germany and Austria
In regard TO the pacific proposals OF Italy
and England.

Here there Is no question OF the defence

The casus foederis does not exist The
contrary exists
This Is not enough. The spirit OF the
alliance. We might say the letter OF the
treaties. insists that the allies come TO an
agreement before acting before bringing
into being the irrevocable. Germany and
Austria have not been true to this condi-
ton. Austria did not inform italy OF the
terms OF her extraordinarily severe note to
Servia. She limited herself 10 advising
u.s. on the eve OF its presentation, that the
note was TO be presented on the following
day, but. she did not inform us of its con-
tent The details OF the note were made
known to Italy. through tho Agenza
Stetani. contemporaneousy with the In
formation that the note was to be pre-
scented at belgrade.

what was this attitude? England in
conjunction with Italy, issued an invita-
ton to a conference in which the great
Powers could have explained their inte--
ests and maintained peace. Servia had
declared that she was disposed. In spite
OF the great sacrifice entailod to accept
all the deTanIs contained in the Aus
trian note. But Austria Hungary was In
exorable. Austria Hungary declared that
she was not content with the simple eN-
ecution Of the note sent to Belgrade and
that Servia would have 10 pay very high
indemnity for the warlike preparations
made by the Hapsburg monarchy.
The truth T. that Vienna desired not
only the humiliation OF Serva but the
placing Of her political and economic ex-
istence in the hands OF the dual mon
archy. Austria wanted TO settle the great
problem. a disQulet!ng residue OF the two
Balkan wars whether Belgrade or Vienna
should rule the Serbo-Croatian world.
Austria's ineXorable attitude Is thus eS
planned. Germany was rot At first pre-
pared 70 go to extreme lengths. But the
events Of the past few days worried the
Kaiser he thought his empire was in
danger. that indecls!on would play into
the hands Of his foes and he precipitated
the catastrophe
I'm fact. first Germany refused TO ac-
cept the conference proposal of Sir Ed
ward Grey \ conference. according to
the Berlin view. was not opportune be-
cause OF the attitude assumed by Austria
Hunsary toward Servia. for that reason
the Powers would have 10 talk OF some
thing else. England then said she was
disposed to mako another proposal. not
for conference. but for a series OF con-
VIBRATIONS among the Powers. diplomatic
dialogues OF something Of that nature
which would not have the appearance. We
will not say OF an offence, but not even
OF lack OF great consideration toward
Austria Hungary. When this proposal
failed to win the Kaiser's approval an
attempt was made TO establish converse
lions between Berlin and 81. Petersburg.
Even this plan failed and It's failure was
not due TO Russia. The truth Is that Ger
many and the dual monarchy looked upon
all these plans as means to enable their
enemies TO gain time for preparation for
the struggle
