of Germanic and Slav racial an

far back as 1883 when, by the
Berlin treaty. Servia was given
her Independence as a State,
while Bosnia and Herzegovina,
peopledsby the very flower of the
Serb race, whose devoted patri-
otism had kindled the revolution
that humbled Turkey, were prac-
tically given over to Austria.
Thus the Serbs, newly freed
from Turkey, were arbitrarily
divided, and part of them given
over to yoke just as hateful as
that of the Moslem has been.
In securing her hold on Bosnia
and Herzegovina and the Dalma-
tian coast, Austria attained the
highly important advantage of
footholdss ION the Adriatic sea, and
at the same time defeated
Servia's equal necessity for such
an outlet. Through all the 35
years between the Berlin treaty
and the Balkan war, Servia
struggled for a seaport, and at
every turn was checkmated by
Austria. To the failure to gain
this end Servia attributes her
slow commercial development
and the difficulty of realizing on
her resources.
AUsTRIA'S SYSTEMATIC PERsECU.
TION.
The socalled pig wars" and
poultry wars" were an out
growth of this systematic re-
preston. Servia raised large
quantities of pigs and fowl OF a
high grade, and if she could
market them readily would find
them valuable export. But
Austria steadily m a intained
ruinous quarantine regulation
that prevents the stock being
transported across her territory
to market. The result was that
the Servian market was glutted
with these products and the
farmers receive no prices at all.
Two cents for a chicken and five
cents for a ham would rouse the
fighting blood of any farming
community.
When Austria definitely an
nexed Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Servia saw her hopes of their
ultimate union with her entirely
defeated. She protested bitterly,
and carried her warlike prepare
tions to such point that her army
practically confronted that of
Austria on the opposite side of
the Danube. The interference
of Germany which held back
Russia's hand extended to aid
the Serbs was all that prevented
a serious war. Here again Ser
via felt herself outraged and de-
feated by the united Germanic
influence, and nursing her hurts
she once more set herself to wait
for her opportunity.
AUSTRIA S HAND IN BALKAN WAR.
1t came with the outbreak of
the Balkan war, when by Sc
ries of brilliant campaigns, the
Servians advanced straight
through Albania to Durazzo, thus
Selling the coveted seaport. 1t is
not hard to recall the maneuver-
ings by which Austrian diploma
cy defeated this end by setting
up the Inflated little kingdom of
of Albania as buffer. Not even
the highly desirable portions of

fiuence the Narodne Odbrana, or
Pan-Serb union. This organiza-
ton, as its name implies, has as
its aim the union of the entire
Serb race. This society has re-
sorted to many means of carry
ing on and spreading it's propa-
ganda, and has more than once
figured in court proceedings re-
sulting from its activities.
Austria further claims that
the public schools of Servia have
been used as an instrument for
the instilling of anti-Austrian
prejudice, and asserts that every
branch of the Servian official
service is honeycombed with plots
aimed against Austrian tran
guilty.
Until she seized on the MUIR
der of the archduke, Austria was
not able to put her finger on any
tangible evidence of Servia's
malfeasance. But Servia's re-
prisals for Austria's highland
edness were not less irritating
for being intangible. Austria
has felt for years that all Servia
was a hotbed of intrigue and
conspiracy against her. The fact
that nothing has been sufficient
ly well defined to be open to of.
fetal resentment has not render
ed the aggregate less exasper-
! ating.
Servian officials do not deny
the existence of a strong anti
Austrian sentiment in Servia,
nor do they deny the existence
of plotting against Austria. But
they refuse to give to these plots
more Importance than she would
to the noting of turbulent stu
dents, and they. point out the
fact that in the present condition
of Servia trouble in any guise
whatever is the last thing she
wants.
