what Premier Asquith termed IAN
immeasurable international catas-
trophe.' Not slhce Napoleon return
ed from Elba has all Europe's atten-
tion been so focused on one man
Tonight the fate of Europe hangs on
the next word of Kaiser Wilhelm
All officialdom at heart believes the
word will be for war. Austria has
Invaded Servia. Fighting between
Austrian and Servian forces is in
progress at several points. Belgrade
has been occupied. Russia is mobil-
izing her armies ON the Austrian
frontier. The czar has heralded the
official announcement of the fact
across Europe.
The kaiser avoiding the obvious
has demanded no explanation of Rus
sia. With an unsatisfactory reply
from the czar a certainty, the kaiser
has devoted day to putting the Ger
man war machine in shape. The an
swer to Russia's expected unsatis-
factory reply will only be a declara-
ton OF war from the kaiser, Furth-
er pretense by diplomats and for
eign officers has been dropped.
St Petersburg, Berlin, Paris, Lon
don and Rome all admit the reaching
Of the crisis. All capitals look to
Berlin for the next move. At nc
point is further hope Of peace hell
out. Berlin alone talks amnity. Th'
purpose is obvious. Berlin is util
izing every second of delay. How
much time the kaiser needs will de
termine the hour of the move which
must bridge the crisis or plunge a
continent into war

THE SCHOOL LIBRARY.

The School Library-One of the
most important factors in our educa-
tional system is a well selected and
widely used school library. In many
Instances, however, teachers and sup
erintendents have been slow in giving
the library its due place n the work of
education. The child who leaves
school without knowing how to use
books and without a genuine love of
good literature is not well prepared to
make the most OF his life. This
knowledge of books and love of good
literature can only be obtained by use
OF and familiarity with a we'll eouip-
ped, well organized and well admins
tered library. In towns having good
public libraries the school Libraries
need only have a few works of refer
ence and books for supplementary
reading, as all books for general read
ing can and should be supplied by the
public libraries. But school libraries
in small towns and in rural communi-
ties are called upon to render a more
extensive service and to supply all de-
for reading materials.
There are hundreds of pupils in our
schools each year who hunger and
thirst after good reading, who while
away the long winter evening longing
for something to read and without the
opportunity to satisfy that longing
