The Real Causes.

The explanation is being nau that
the real ground for the general Euro
pean war lies in the lond existing rtv-
Ealry between the Teutonl and the Slay
in northern and central Europe. An
other cause assigned is the ancient
enmty between the French and the
German peoples. This is mere clap
trap. Both are contributing factors
but they are not by any mean the
chief causes of the tremendous strug.
gle now being waged.
The real cause Of the prodigious
contest is Emperor William of
Germany and his fanatical policy OF
this war crazy ruler has held the
peace of Europe in the hollow of his
hand and the evidence is not lacking
that his Overwhelming ambitions
led Inn to believe that he held
the balance of power there too. II
was William of Germany who caused
the formation of the Triple Entente.
For years he has been gradually
Strengthening his army and increas-
ing his navy, and 1t was the growing
distrust of Great Britain in the old
scheme of maintaining the balance OF
power that led 1t to perfect a secret
alliance first with France and then
with Russia to checkmate the war
lord.
Events Of the war now raging show
that William had discounted the
superiority Of strength in the Triple
Entente with Russia's probable ina
bility to assemble its vast army
promptly in the theater of war and
also with its military inferiority.
But, he had reckoned on the effective
ness of the Triple Alliance, which
now seems to have fallen asunder by
Italy's declaration of neutrality.
Whatever his reckonings, he is now
called to account.
In view of the fact that En-
peror William several times nearly
plunged Europe into the war it now
has. 1t is somewhat silly to say that
the strife Is based upon the long ex-
listing rivalry between Teuton and
Slav, or hatred Of French and Ger
mans. He came near precipitating
this same war at the time of. the
Algeciras Incident upon the very
slight pretext Of interest in events
happening along the Mediterranean
coast.
Emperor Williams agsressiveness,
or craziness, or whatever one may
cah 1t, may have been the result OF
another underlying and apparently
hidden factor. which. perhaps, is the
basic cause of the war. What hr
been the impelling motive of his
policy? Thinkers zee under 1t the
same causes that forced the imper-
ious autocrat OF the Russias to grant
q semblence, at least, of a~.legislatiye
body; the same force that bror
about a gradual diminution of EN-
peror Williams forces in his own
parliament, where a coalition of par
ties became necessary to Offset the
growing anti-m1lltary party; the
stme reasons that have caused such
discomfort under territorial absorb
ton and racial assimilation: the
same causes that In recent world his
tory have overturned monarchies and
supplanted them with republics. That
is to say, the monarchial system of
Europe is being driven to the wall
and is being forced to fight for its
very existence.

Unequal Pay for Eo,,aI wor,,

Wide variation in the nav for the
same or similar work is one of the
most striking situations revealed by
the investigation of teachers salaries
Just completed by the United States
bureau Of Education, under the d.
rection Of j. c. Boykin, editor, of the
bureau. Public elementary school
teachers may receive $4,000 a year,
as some do in New York City, or S45
ia year, as in certain rural com
munities. Even in cities of the same
class there are considerable differ
lences in the salaries paid teachers.
On the administrative side there are
county superintendent with nav
ranging from s115 to $4,000 per an
mum, and college presidents receiy-
Ing salaries all the way from 5000
to $4,000.
In city school systems salaries
have increased steadily in recent
years, particularly in the western
states; and. in general, salaries in
city school systems are fairly we'll
standardized. The average salary of
the superintendent of . schools in
cities OF over $250:000 population is
I$7,17S; the range is from $4,000 to
$4,000. In the same group Of cities
high school principals average 49,.
565 and elementary teachers S1,O1S.
Even In the smallest cities listed.
those between 5000 aid 10000 pop
ulatton, salaries are fairly uniform.
The maximum for superintendents
in this group is $500 and the ay-
erage s1,915; but elementary teach-
ers show an annual average of $3.50,
with salaries as high as 1880 and
as low as $1O4. 1t is in the colleges
and universities that the widest yarf-
alton prevails. The salaries of men
with the rank professor" range
from $3.50 to $500. professors"
in some institutions receive less than
Instructors" or even assistants" in
others. Salaries of deans Of these
institutions vary from $500 to S.
900. University teachers of subjects
for which there is direct commercial
demand outside receive somewhat
higher salaries than those in charge
of the traditional academic subjects.
but the difference is less than might
be expected. The highest average
salaries for full professors are paid
in law and civil engineering. Law
claims the highest paid p~rofessorship
in any subject, with one salary OF
IS7.50o. but there are professors OF
physics, geology and Latin who re-
ceive $1,000. 1t is Significant.
