Rumors were received here today
that King Peter of Servia had abdicat-

The decision of the Servian govern
ment to evacuate Belgrade at once is
easily understood as fleet of Aus
trian monitors is now assembled at
Semlin only two Or three miles away.
Semlin is on the west bank OF the
Danube just above the intersection OF
this river and the Suave. Between
the two rivers, lies Belgrade, high
above the surrounding territory. Guns
of warships at Semlin could easily

centration point for the Austrians. lt

east Of the Danube and seventy-tive
miles northeast of Belgrade. 1t is an
important railroad center with lines
diverging from it which would make
it possible for troops to be transport
ed quickly to the Danube for invasion
along the northern frontier OF Servia-
The ill-feel1ng between Austria and
Servia, Slav country, goes back far
beyond the assassination Of Arch
Duke Francis Ferdinand, which
brought on this crisis. Part Of the

movements, and social workers who
offered the commission what they
considered impartial views on the
causes of industrial unrest and sug-
gested remedies.
Radicals on both sides found them
selves far apart. Liberal employers
and labor union chiefs, however,
agreed on these main Ioints:
That labor unions have improved
tie conditions Of the working man.
That shorter hours and higher pay
are certain to come, not only because
labor unions demand the change, but
in the interests of efficiency.
That unions should make honest ef-
fcrts to correct evils within their
ranks resulting from clique domina-
ton.
That the creation Of industrial
courts apparently would be big step
forward in handling labor problems.

Who Is to Blame a.?

Another shi pwreck---t this time in
the Mississippi ryer---has again cali
ed attention &c the alarming fre-
quency with which such accidents
are happening at the present time.
For all the inventiveness of man
the safety appliances. tn wireless and
all the rest---niore disasters of this
kind CcCur tcday than ever before
What is the reason? Can they be
prevented ls there not some way
by which such accidents, which az
too often are accompanied by great
loss Of life, can be avoided? Or
where they take place can not pro-
vision be taken to save the lives OF
those on board? These are the cues
tions that are coming home in MANY
ways to the steamship owners, Who
would be only too clad 10 find s7me
way of making such disasters In
possible.
That the result Of the sinking Of
the Majestic ives not much the same
as that following the ramming of
the Empress of Ireland is due rather
to luck than anything else. The ac-
cident would have happened under
the same conditions if the excursion
passengers had been aboard the Same
as after they had left. If this bad
been the case the result would prob
ably have been appalling,
There are many reasons aside from
considerations of humanity why the
steamship companies are anxious To
guard against such losses Just how
to make such losses impossible Is
troubling them all moro now
than ever before. One important fac
tor in the search for a method OF ac-
.cident prevention should not be lost
sight Of 1t is necessary before any
thing can be done along this line tn
know Just how and what causes the
accidents. VINO was to biamee Who
failed in some way in his duty on
the Titanic, the Empress or the Stor>
stad. and the Majestic? Or If 1t was
no one on the ship itself, who was It."
Some one was responsible. Some
one is to hIame If this were not
true, the accident woule not have
happened Where no ono IS to ho
blamed it isn't an accident. Tha.
much is certain.
The pilot of the Majestic says he
did not know the intake tower was
being constructed lie also says h.
saw no lights burning where they
should have been to serve as a warn
Ing. Others say the lights were
there. River men say it would b.
possible for the lights TO be ohscurcd
by a smoke cloud, They also say
few pilots knew OF the obstruction.
If for no other reason than the
safety of others in the future. il
should be decided just where the
blame belongs. Then there will he
little cause to fear another such &C.
cident from the same source. If ii
was the pilots fault, the public
should know it. II the owner of the
ship, they should take the blame. Il
the builders of the intake tower
We're responsible, the blame should
be laid at their door.
Laying aside all other things con.
tributing to such accidents, would ii
not be a good plan to keep all pilot.
Informed Of any construction work
going on in the river channel. 50
that they would know where to look
for danger in case the lights failed
or were hidden by a pail Of smoke?
