ment, gravitation toward Germany,
bitter feeling against Russia But the
blunders were personal blunders Of
bungling politicians. Russia has al
ways posed and often acted as the pa
tron, friend, and protector Of the Slavs
everywhere, and especially Of the Bal
kan Slavs. 1t has had and still has
its eye on its estate in reversion,"
Constantinople, and 1t cannot hope to
plant it's flag there without the consent
and support of the Balkan Slavs. 1t
Is good "Pan-Slavism" to support Ser
via.
But In facing Austria, Russia con-
fronts not German power, but pow
err that is itself largely Slav. Slav
will thus be fighting Slav and the Ger
mans, whatever their colors, will be
fighting for Slavs and with other Slavs
and postponing the realization Of the
Pan-German ambitions and dreams.
Jealousy a Great Factor.
Here, then, Is strange paradox,
but not the only paradox in situation
full of anomalies-anomalies insepara-
bic from the very nature and complex
fon of the Austro- Hungarian empire,
an empire, to repeat, that has been
held together quite as much by the
jealousies and differences Of outsiders
as by the dynastic and personal in
fluence of the Hapsburgs.
If Austria cannot and does not rep
resent German interests and German
culture in this fight, what is 1t fighting
for? Pan-Servian agitation did not
endanger it's existence, while the war
does It's own Slaw elements at no
time displayed an inclination to ex-
change its rule for that Of the car,
although they were not ayerse to u.s.
ing Pan-Slav slogans in order to secure
better representation and larger recog-
milton.
Danger to Dual Monarchy.
The opinion Of the soundest students
of politics has long been that If Aus
tria-Hungary was to be preserved, only
policy Of peace, liberalism, greater
autonomy, and home rule, Cancellation
of the various races and elements by
reform measures, political and social
contained the promise of such preser-
walton.
The war actually endangers the ex-
istence Of the dual monarchy, for aside
from the chances of defeat and disas-
ter, there Is the fact that the Slav sub
jects of the emperor cannot sympa-
thize with it. The separatist and par
ticularist tendencies feared by the
court and government can only be
deepened and strengthened by the con-
flict.
The army and navy may be loyal
and obedient, as many assert. The
army and navy may be Austrian" II
the nation is not. But popular senti-
ment Is potent factor in war and
popular sentiment among the Austrian
and Hungarian Slavs does not favor
fratricidal strife.
No wonder the intelligent world is
puzzled and utterly at a loss to ex-
plain Austria's course.

ECONOMIC WASTE OF WAR
Estimate Is That One Hundred Billion
Dollars Would Be the Cost
Of the Conflict.

Paris. July S0.-The general Euro

waste amounting to $100,000.oo0,0 900.
The war OF 1870 cost France $4,000

much. Germany, after France had

GERMANY DECLARES WAR
ON GEAR; INVADES FRANCE
BIG GERMAN ARMY
ADVANCESQ ON PARIS
MILLION OF kAISER'S TROOPS IN.
WADE FRANCE-ARE RE.
PULSED IN SkIRMiSH.

London, Aug. 4.-The first great bat
tie Of the war is but matter of hours.
Fragmentary reports of scattered en-
ga9ements during the past twenty-four
hours tell story of the opening Skin
mishes of what promises to be one of
the most historic battles in modern
warfare.
UhIans Are RepuIsed.
A corps of Uhlans crossed the bor-
der into France, in what appeared to
be an advance upon Nancy, and was
net and repulsed in sharp engage
ment at Petit Croix, a customs post on
the Lorraine frontier
While on the face of the reports the
day appears to have been disastrous
to the Germans, analysis of these and
other movements, which as yet have
no apparent effect, draws back the
curtain to reveal the strategy behind
the three German armies, numbering
nearly a million men, which are now
in progress, with the capture of the
entire eastern frontier of France as
it's object. In the three armies are
included twenty-five army corps.
100000 Threaten Paris.
The first is moving through Bel
GUM. This is the strongest, as its
direction is Parisward, where the
greatest resistance may be expected.
1t numbers about 100000 men. The
aerial scouts who were driven back at
Rheims belonged to the advance body
of the first army, and they were re-
connoitering.
The second army's advance move
was the body that was repulsed at
Petit Croix. The Uhlans suffered tenn
porary defeat, it is reported, but only
outwardly. Its function as the ad-
vance guard of this weaker body of
100000 was to fall back when struck.
This army is advancing on the French
border from Metz, with Nancy as its
objective.
Third Army in South.
The third army is pushing forward
in the vicinity of Mulhausen near the
Swiss border, with BelSort, the city
that withstood a German siege of
three months during the Franco-Prus-
sian war of 1870, as its goal. Its ad-
vance formation is in lesser. numbers
and is divided into small scouting par
ties. Upward of 100000 men are re.
ported to be included in this army.
Duplicate Movements Of 1870.
Apparently the German army is
duplicating the first movement of the
Franco-Prussian war. 1t was on
Aug. 2, 1870, fortyfour years ago,
on Sunday, that the French and Ger
mans clashed in the first battle Of
that war at Saarbrucken, where the
prince imperial, under the orders OF
the emperor, received his famous
baptism of fire."
1t would appear that Germany is
taking the fullest possible advantage
of her supposed superiority in rapid
mobilization over France. The plan
of the German emperor, according to
military observers here, is TO van
quish or attempt TO vsnquish
France in the interval before
Russia will be able to create serious
trouble on her northern frontier. 1t
is supposed that Russian mobiliza-
ton will take about three weeks.

BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af- fected with that weakening, tickling cough, they need immediate and sen sible treatment. The breath seems shorter because of mucous obstruc- tions; usually fever is present and your head jars with every cough. Your chest aches and the infamnn- ton often spreads to the lungs.
