out by Berchtold, was the direct cause
Of the tragedy at Sarajevo, when the
archduke and his morganatic wife fell
by bullets fired by a Servian. The
Austrian minister of foreign affairs
demonstrated in the judicial inquiry
that followed the crime, that Servian
officials, civil and military, had been
involved in the events that led to the
assassination.
Deemed Time for Action.
The moment for action had come.
Berchtold surveyed the international
horizon.
He observed that Russia was in
volved In a big strike which had a rev.
o%lutionary tinge.
That France was in a turmoil of po-
litical uncertainty.
That Great Britain was facing an

part in the tragedy of S~arajevo and a
suppression of the anti-Austrian agi-
tation in Belgrade, followed promptly
in the midst Of the p~reoccupation of
the triple entente.
Berchtold realizes more clearly than
anybody else that he has challenged
the entire Slav world, with the ex-
ception Of Bulgaria; that his quarrel
is not with Servia, but with Russia,
which has stood back of Servia in her
attacks upon Austria.
Nikola Pashitch, Servian Premier.
Nikola Pashitch, premier and min
lister of foreign affairs of Servia, has
twice before been the dominant figure
in Servian politics in the course of his
40 years in the public affairs of his
country. His policy always has been
bitterly hostile to Austria Hungary,
and the present crisis in the relations
Of the two countries Is largely the out
come of his provocative attitude.
Pashitch throughout his career has
conducted a vigorous fight for the
economic freedom of Servia from Aus
tria. BY means Of railway tariffs and
inspection regulations on the frontier
Of Austria, Servia's natural road to
the markets of western Europe, the
Austrian government has been able to
control Servian trade in pigs and poul
try, the staple products of Servia.
CIamor Against Austria.
But the chief grievance of the Ser
VANS has been the continued domino
ton Of Austria-Hungary over a large
population across the frontier which
the Servians maintain is Of Serb
blood. Although a considerable part
of this population has contested the
claims Of the Servian jingoes and has

Russia Back of Servia.
When he took office as the director
of the foreign Office, Berchtold found a
situation full of portent. Servia, In

ritories which formerly had belonged
to Turkey and to which Servia consid
cred itself the heir, because they are
