addition to territory and to population,
the national aspirations were not salts
fed. Servia wanted the seaport of Sa-
ioniki on the Aegean sea, which Austria
also wants. The Servian territory now
comes to within forty miles of Saloniki.
Servia did obtain extensive port privi-
leges at Salonfki. including cession of
zone for warehouses for merchandise
in transit. port exemptions, and a re-
duced tariff on the railway. This would
mean much for the development Of the
country. but the forty miles Of Greek

and the sea always will appeal to the
Servians as something that they ought

but the peasant and his beef, his corn,
his wheat and his fruit that the Ser

When pressing political concessions on
Servia. Austria usually has modified
the commercial restrictions doing this
as a favor instead of a right.
The Servfans have chafed under this
restriction much more than has been
commonly understood. They have want
ed access to the worlds markets. and
the denial of this privilege has added
to the racial antagonism. The Servian
peasants who compose the army have
really been fighting for commercial
freedom as much as for political in
dependence.
The Englishman with whom I jour-
neyed pointed out the qualities in the
Servian countrymen which made for
good soldiers. AS an observer he then
knew the general scheme of the Serv-
ian military group to cIeate an effec-
tive army out of this material 1t was

and was ready for active service when
the Balkan states made war on Tur-
key. The part the Servian troops
played in that war. and in the subse-
quent wars among the allies does not
need to be recalled. That the Servian
army will prove effective in the present
general war may safely be assumed,
for the material of which it is COM
posed has not changed.
AS a result Of the successful war
against Turkey, the old Servia ceased
to exist, and the new Servia was
formed with a territorial area increased
by more than one-third. and with an
addition of one million five hundred
thousand Slav inhabitants.
The Servia that was created by the
Berlin treaty of 1877 had an area of a
fraction under $4,000 square miles, and
population, when the Turkish war,
was begun, of nearly 3,00O,0 900 AS the
of nearly $4,000 square miles and an
added population Of 100000. So the
new Seryia. which is a factor in the
present war, is a country of more than
$4,000 square miles. with a population
of nearly 100000. Whether when the
war is over there will still be an inde-
pendent Servia is, of course, one of the
questions which cannot be answered
now.

At that time the murder of the king and

Most emphatically not. No more
