A WAR OF AUTOCRACY
(New York World)

When peace is again established
in Europe there will come a new
order of things. Democracy will
not stand forever upon the scaffold
with autocracy forever on the
throne.
Ten days ago the German people
were at peace with all the world
They had no quarrel of their own
with anybody. Their commerce
reached to every nook and corner
OF the globe, Thei- ships floated
on every sea. Their victories were
no victories of brute force, but tri-
umphs of applied skill and trained
minds. In many respects the Ger
mans had touched the high-water
mark of human civilization. There
was not another country in the
world but could learn something
from them.
Suddenly this vast fabric woven
by peace and industry and skill
and science is torn in two. All the
machinery of progress is stopped
by the hand of autocracy. The
Kaiser plunges Europe into the
most devastating conflict known to
human history. and every civilized
country reels under the shocks. And
about what? Ostensibly because Rus
sia had answered Austria's wanton
war against Servia by mobilizins
troops on frontier in order to protect
her own interests. In reality because
the reactionary party of Germany
was determined to invite general
European conflict in order to stay
the advancement of political re-
forms.
All the world knew that a declar-
alton of war against Russia was in
effect a declaration of war against
France. Germany admitted it by
mobilizing her army not on the
Russian frontier but on the French
frontier. The decisive blow was to
be struck against the French Re-
public, Lot against its imperial ally.
1t was not Russian despotism that
was to be crushed but French re-
publicanism.
The hollow hypocrisy of the
whole protecting is revealed in the
fact that before the clash of arms is
fairly begun the Austrian invasion
of Servia is practically abandoned.

DROWNED In ATTEMPT
TO ESCAPE ATTACK.

~ AUUH1 l. M HUiAs
Asheville Citizen.
Running into the French Broad
river near Hot Springs N. c.. Friday
morning in an effort to escape at
tack at the hands of Mrs. Mar garet
Graham, who is alleged to have
fired at her with a revolver, Mrs.
Ethel Woody was drowned before
her friends could come to her res
cue. according to news received
here. Mrs. Graham was under ar
rest yesterday morning by men,
bers of the sheriffs department
from Marshall and lodged in the
Madison county Jail at that place
on a warrant charging her with as
sault with intent to commit Muir
der and carrying concealed wea-
pom.
The news of the affair first reach
ed Asheville when a prisoner was
brought here to serve term on
the Buncombe county roads and
the deputy sheriff accompanying
him told of the arrest of Mrs. Gra-
ham.
When communicated with, Sheriff
W. M. Buckner stated that Mrs.
Graham refused to make any state
ment in regard to the affair and
that he had been unable to discov-
er reason for the alleged trouble
between them. 1t is expected, how
ever, that the whole affair will be
brought to light when the prisoner
is given a hearing Wednesday in
Madison county.
1t is stated that the shooting done
by Mrs. Graham was near the home
OF Mrs. Woody and that the chase
to the river led through the woods
for some distance before the de-
ceased entered the water and was
drowned. The weapon said to have
been used by the prisoner was a
revolver and since the body of the
deceased has not been recovered
it is not known whether or not any
of the bullets struck her. The firing
of the shots is reported to have
been heard by several residents of
the section and relatives and friends
of both women have been greatly
aroused over the affair.
AS soon as it had been learned
that Mrs. Woody had been drowned
men began to drag the stream for
her body and it is expected that it
will be located in a short time. The
current is swift and the water is
deed at the point where the woman
entered and it is thought that the
body drifted some distance.

HOLLAND TAKES STEPS
TO ENFORCE NEUTRALITY

London, Aug 19.-The Rotterdam
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
reports that Holland is taking most
elaborate precautions along her front
Ter to enforce her neutrality.
Detachments of cavalry constantly
patrol the frontier and large forces of
infantry guard the roads, which are
blockaded at frequent intervals, with
barbed wire entanglements and barri-
cades.
The roads are the key to the situa-
ton, as artillery cannot be taken
across the open fields which are marsh
lands.
In towns near the frontier large bod
les of troops, are congregated, and the
possible lines of invasion are COM
manded by powerful forts which are
strong and modern. Arrangements are
complete for flooding the country of
the frontier at moments notice.
In the neighborhood of the forts,
houses, trees and crops have been lev
elled to make it impossible for an
army to approach under cover Sew
eral whole orchards have been cut
down. The rivers are protected by
armed barges. @

The Church of England has taken a
long step toward equal rights for wo

Westminster, the Representative
Church COUNSEL, consisting of the two
houses Of the conyocation of Canter
bury and York, and the Houses OF
Laymen Of the two provinces, decided
10 give women an equal right to vote
with men in tne election of church
councils.
The cause of church suffrage for
women was championed by the Arch.
bishop Of York and the Bishops OF
London and Southwell; but it was
workingman who put the case in a
nutshell He declared that the ex-
clusion OF women was wholly illogical;
the church accepted the work of wo-
men, but refused them the privileges
granted men. Where would the church
be if it were not for the devoted and
unpaid work of thousands of women?
The argument seems to have struck
home. The bishops voted in favor of
justice TO women, % to 9; the clergy,
80 to -; and the laymen IS to y.
