into the European conflict, every
power involved il today endeavoring
to escape responsibility for the
slaughter, devastation and suffering
Of the worlds greatest war which IL

In its declaration Of war against
France today, Germany sought to
show that the republic was the ag-
gressor In the movements along the
frontier during the past three days.
The kaiser has also sought to lay at
the door Of the car responsibility
for the break between their nations.
Russia has passed responsibility back
upon Germany.
England, standing to the last for
peace, will also hold the kaiser re-
sponsible for the conflict which will
set Europe back a half century and
wipe out large part Of her male
population.
From the small spark Of the ulti-
matum delivered to Servia by Aus

Italy insists that the kaiser and
