Austria'S Course.
LATTER OBLIGED TO ACT,
DR.. BARTHELME DECLARES
National Geographic Society Says
Military Critics Everywhere
Praise Servian Troops.

In discussion of the causes that have
led up to the great war now in progress
the blame is placed heavily on Servia
and the Austrian empire eNonerated, by
Or. George Barthelme, American CORE
spondent of the Cologne Gazette and
resident of Washington, in a recent
article.
There are those who say that Austria
has used the murder of the heir APP
parent as an ostensible cloak to cover
her designs to destroy Servia, as she
has long planned to do. says DR.. Bar
thelme. ''On the other hand there are
those who vieW-and with far greater
rlght-the assassination at Serajevo as
the last blow that aroused patient ma
ton. and who look upon Austria's ulti-
matum to her neighbor as the command
to halt a movement that for decades has
sought to deal death blow to the dual
monarchy.
The first group views the murder only
as the deed of maniac or criminal
but always the deed of single individ-
ual. while Austria sees IN II the result OF
a long-planned and far-reaching plot OF
the pan-Slavic movement that seeks in

Austria knows that her existence is

borders. And II the outside world has
looked forward to the day when the
dual monarchy would collapse. 1t has
based this prospect upon the belief that
the day would come when this pan
Slavic movement would make 1t i'm
possible for Austria longer to hold the
loyalty of the dozen nationalities that
constitute her citizenship.
Unfortunately, Austria has strength
