Cause of the European War.

The following interesting account of
the cause of the European war is taken
from the Monroe News-Star:
The precipitating cause of this titanic
struggle for supremacy was the unjust
demands of Austria upon brave little
Servia for satisfaction on account of
the assassination of Prince Ferdinand
and his wife, on Servian territory. But
before reasonable period for diploma
cy had passed Austria angrily declared
war on Servia. As soon as Russia
showed impotence with Austria's hate,
Germany's proud and ambitious war
lord seems to have seized that excuse
for making peremptory inquiries of
Russia as to her intentions. In the hot
headed style of that ruler, William de-
clared war against France, following
this day or two thereafter with a
declaration of war against England,
after that country had issued formal
edict of war against Germany.
Apparently, the chief responsibility
for this terrible situation in Europe lies
at the door of Germany and the fight
ing Kaiser. 1t looks as if he mainly
wanted war with France, and chose
the Austro-Servian embroglio as an ex-
cuse to bring it about 1t would seem
that the whole development is from the
brilliant brain of the Kaiser.
The German Influences in Austria
have encouraged their ally to take
steps to force an encounter. The Ger
man theory is that war now when
the army and navy Of the emperor are
ready for it will be war of proven
tion." that is they consider war inevi-
table at some day in the near future,
and they prefer to force the fighting
now to waiting the time when Russia
and France shall be better prepared,
believing that if they do wait that f.
nally Russia will compel the encounter.
In 1909. when Austria anpexed Bosnia,

to her suzerainty by the powers in the
Berlin treaty, though their natural af-
filiation was with Servia That not on
ly hemmed in Servia and made her more
dependent than ever. but reused de-
sire for vengeance among the Serbs of
all countries and strengthened the bord-
er bonds of the Slavic race to which
they belong. There are 5000, 900 Slavs
in Servia, nearly 1000, 600 in Bosnia
and Herzegovina, many hundred thou
sands in Dalmatia, on the Adriatic,
4, 600, 900 in Austria Hungary and other
millions throughout the Balkans, not
to mention the Russians. In recent
years Pan-Slavic movement has ce-
mented these people more strongly
than they have been for generations
The assassination of the heir to the
Austrian throne was due to this racial
reaction against the oppressor. The
royal line of Hapsburg paid the penalty
of tyranny. And now the aged EN-
peror Francis Joseph, maddened by The
murder of his son and spurred on by 3
faction eager for war, apparently seeks
to make the tyrrany complete by put
ting Servia under the yoke together
with Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The shooting of Archduke Ferdinand
and his wife was an inexcusable crime.
But if the Emperor of Austria. by max
ing that pretext for crushing Servia,
rouses general war of Slavs against
Teutons and embroils the powers of
Europe in death struggle. he will
have committed crime infinitely great
er. Emperor William, of Germany,
seems no less determined than Emper-
or Francis Joseph to plunge the sever
al powers into a war of annihilation.
As was to be expected, Emperor Will
liam, to crafty his inordinate desire
for power and authority, backs up Aus
tria- Hungary, and is today making an
aggressive war on Russia, France, Eng
land and Belgium. 1t is difficult, Il
not impossible, to discover the justifi-
cation of such war, but most people
will still cheer Justify for brave little
Servia.

well, and Mr.. Perrin is defeated
by an overwhelming majority
ranging anywhere from 1900 to
$500 when the votes in the entire
district are counted.
Mr.. Aswell has carried six out
of the eight parishes in the 9Th
Congressional district, and may
carry the seventh, the vote in
LaSalle, PERKINS, home parish,
being very close. Mr.. Aswell
carried Natchitoches, his home
parish, by fully 700 majority.
Grant parish gives Aswell the
handsome majority of 446, out of
a total of 806 votes. In another
column we print the returns for
Grant parish in table form.
These figures are not official, but
they are approximately correct,
having been obtained from the
commissioners who made the
count.
The vote in Rapides parish is
also a splendid tribute to Mr.. AS
wells popularity, being 1850 to
642 for Perrin, with one precinct
to hear from. The majorities
for Aswell in the other parishes
of the district are claimed to be
as follows: Avoyelles, 200; Yer

Robbery Pure and Simple.

Robbery Pure and Simple.
We imagine the dealers in food
stuffs of America will find it very
difficult to explain why it was
that they raised the prices of the
necessaries of subsistence in adj
vance of the European markets;
indeed, while they were held up
from shipment and no increased
demand for them in the domes-
tic markets. i
1t will doubtless be impossible
for them to give any satisfactory
reason for placing a great many
commodities out of reach of many
of their home customers, and
thus creating an artificial food
panic, for which there was no
cause, except the remote one of
future foreign demand. brought
about by the European war and
their insatiate greed for gain;
their willingness to expose the
majority of the people of the
country, uneasiness ard depriva-
ton by placing the articles be-
yond their financial ability; Gre
ating an artificial demand for
those things Of which there is
an abundant supply and for
which there is no immediate
pressing demand.
It is robbery pure and simple
to thus take advantage of circum-
stances to extort from people
their hard earnings and reduce
to absolute want of many per-
sons for many of the necessities
of life which they are not finan-
cially able to purchase, and these
spectators in misfortune are
morally as criminal as the pro-
fessional burglar or highway
man, and deserve as great punish
ment.
We commend the Federal adj
ministration for the investigation
it has instituted in this matter,
with the hope that the inquiry
will be thorough and effective in
the administration of justice to
these harpies. Ruston Leader.

France and Great Britain protested.
In fact this annexation was violation
of the treaty of Berlin, but Germany
appeared as Austria's ally and Russia
and her allies were unready, so were
compelled to accept the defeat, but
from that hour Russian intrigue in the
Balkans to promote their unity and f.
nally destroy Turkey went on. In 1911
when Germany sent her warships to
Agadir and menaced France, the triple
entente would not submit, then Ger
many had to yield as did Russia in 1909.
An offensive struggle seemed the only
prospect for bolstering up the triple
alliance, SO it has been entered on.
Austria Hungary, possibly, had much
provocation in the assassination of
Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, as
the climax of Serb conspiracy in
which prominent army officers seem to
have shared. But her demands for
reparation were such as no self-re-
specting nation could accept. 1t is
doubtful whether she expected their
acceptance, or whether she welcomed
a new opportunity for aggression.
Servia yielded much, but could not con-
sent to letting Austrian representatives
sit on her own boards of inquiry and
dictate the removal from the Servian
army and government service of such
men as might be considered hostile to
Austrian domination.
At the bottom of this controversy
there is fundamental racial antipa-
thy. 1t is Teuton against Slav. And
in this case the Teuton has famed the
flames of hatred by contemptuous and
long-continued aggression. Austria of
old. and her recent successor, the dual
monarchy of Austria Hungary, have
been persistent and ruthless in pressing
on toward the Adriatic and Aegean seas
at the expense of Slavic people. In
1908 she boldly annexed Bosnia and
Herzegovina, which bad been intrusted

Season for Deer is Made Uniform ia
Cover all Parts of the State.


At a meeting of the Conserva-
ton Commission August IL a
resolution was adopted fixing the
open season on deer from August
Is to December Is for all portions
of the State. The commission
acted under authority of section
a of Act 204 of 1912, in making
this change from the former sea-
son, which varied for the north
ern and southern parts of the
State from Sept. Is to Jan. Is
for the former. and Sept. l to
Jan. / for the latter. On pre-
sentation of evidence that deer
are really in better condition
from the early part of the fall to
the early part of winter, the COM
mission decided the change was
advisable.
The board also passed a resolu-
ton canceling all unpaid oyster
leases for 1918. The board de-
cided to apply strictly the delin-
ouency provision of the law on
ali lesses who are now in arrears
for their rent and who do not
pay the same promptly.

70 Make the Ocean Fertilize the Land.
Students of economics have
repeatedly warned that some day
the fertility of the earth will be
exhausted and the human race
perish for lack of food. Atten-
ton is being given by construc-
live thinkers, however. to the
problem of finding somewhere an
nexhaustible store Of fertilizer
with which to restore plant food
to the soil. According to an ar
ticle in the September Popular
Mechanics Magazine, the latest
suggestion is that the Sargasso
Sea, that strange marine meadow
of interlaced sea plants covering
a vast area in mid-Atlantic be-
tween the Antilles, the Azores,
and Cape Verde, may be made
to renew the vitality of the farm
lands of all the world.
The algae and various other
forms of water vegetation which
abound in the Sargasso Sea are
rich in nitrogen, phosphoric acid,
potassium and magnesium sui
phate, essential constituents of
plant life. Besides this the sea-
weeds contain sodium, chlorine,
iodine. and other materials bene-
fetal to certain crops. and cellu-
lose in quantities estimated to be
greater than that obtainable from
the combined forests of Scandi-
navia, Russia, and Canada. All
these salts and substances have
been washed into the sea from
the land, the volume of such
waste increasing annually and
rapidly.
Seaweed is not an untried fer
tilizer for farm lands, and even
when crudely used has proved of
value. Gathered along the coast
as it is washed ashore, piled in
heaps, allowed to rot, and then
plowed into the soil, it is utilized
in many lands. The recent de-
velopment on a commercial scale
of the kelp industry, based on
the extraction of potash and 10
dine from sea plants, has arous-
ed further interest in the fertil-
izing possibilities of the sea and
its products. An insight into
these possibilities is given by
the yield of potassium. In the
case Of the Pacific Ocean sea.
weeds, each ton of air-dried kelr
gives up a minimum of 500 lbs.
of pure potash salts and 3 lbs. OF
iodine. besides other by-products.
