for young Matt Elliott, who early in
life had made his mark as stage
manager" He had met and fell in
love with young Natalie Storm, who
possessed great h!stronic ability and
the test came when she featured on
the bill as star. The night of her
triumph she hurries from the last
curtain call to throw herself into the
arms Of her love. but finds that he
has been hurriedly called to his
mothers death bed. Her joy and love
for him instantly turn to hate as she
finds that he has left her to crafty
the whim of an ail.ng old woman.
OF course, there Is anothe mran and
she fo0lishly accepts his sham kisses
and she Is Immediately repentant and
recalls the mad letter she had written
her faithful lover, Matt Elliott. Too
late! The woman, his mother, was
dead. She had maligned his mother
and the shaft OF hate had pierced
deep intos the heart Of Matt Elliott.

has been kept at the standard that so
important a Power must require.
The Servian army was until the Bal
kan war on untrled quantity, with the
presumption against its efficiency. The
dramatic events OF that war gave 1t,
however, a new rating, for the Servian
proved himself a splendid soldier and
the organization OF the army proved
surprisingly effective 1t had great
power Of expansion. while the wonder
full esprit de corps and the galvanizing
effect OF devoted enthusiasm more than
overcame formal defects.
As has been said. the chief anxiety in
Europe in the present situation Is less
for the aggressors in the difficulty than
for the possible entanglements it may
produce. Russia Is the disturbing factor,
and until she comes out and makes her
position clear everything else must be
more or less a matter of speculation.
Russia aspires to be the protector of the
Slav people and while she has hitherto
failed TO play that role with any great
degree OF glory she still clings to II.
1t was to her that Servia looked for
assistance when she saw Bosnia and
Herzegovina slip finally through her
fingers. Russia was eager and willing to
respond. but was in no condition to do
go. She was still Frustrated from the
japanese war and at the first hint that

ably the most prominent of these pro-
ceedings though there have been end
lees riotlngs and arrests and minor
trials for which the union may have
been directly responsible. The sec
rotary OF tie society, Major Milan
Pribftchevitch formerly an Austrian
army officer, was mentioned In the con-
fession OF the youth who threw the
bomb at the Archduke. This naturally
has given Austria sufficient ground on
which to demand the entire wiping out
of this inflammatory society, the sup
preston of all ITS literature and the
punishment of its leaders.
Austria further claims that the pub
lie schools OF Servia have been used as
an instrument for the instilllng OF anti
Austrian prejudice, and asserts that
every branch OF the Servian official
service Is honeycombed with plots
aimed against Austrian tranquility.
Until she seized on the murder Of
put her finger on any tangible evidence
of Servia's malfeasance. But Servia's
reprisals for Austria's highhandedness
were not less irritating for being in
tangible Austria has felt for years
that all OF Servia was n hotbed OF in
trigue and conspiracy against her. and
she has recognized the slow encroach-
ment OF the disturbing influence CEN

| fact that nothing has been sufficiently
we'll defined to be open to official resent
ment has not rendered the aggregate
less exasperating. Nor have the re-
peated denials OF the Servian authori-
ties that the plots were sporadic and
without the slightest official connivance
served to satisfy her.
Servian officials do not deny the ex-
| istence of strong anti-Austrian senti-
ment in Servia, nor do they deny the
existence of plotting against Austria.
But they refuse to give to these plots
| more Importance than they would to
the riotng OF turbulent students. and
they point out the fact that in the
present condition OF Servia trouble In
any guise whatever is the last thing
she wants.

| Pashltch, the Servian Prime Minister.
to THE SUN correspondent. Peace Is
the only thing that can make Servla the
strong and vigorous State that she has
the right TO be. 1t Is useless to deny
what past history plainly proves. that
our relations with Austria are some
what delicate, but as for the existence
OF official plots against her it is utterly
impossible. These things may exist
among the people. but 1t is case OF
individuals and not officials, and
wherever they can be gotten at by
process OF law they have steadily been
suppressed and their perpetrators per-
ished."
Should the present tense situation end
in actual warfare between Austria and
Serva the prophet who forecasts results
on the basis OF figures Will have an
easy time OF ii, for with Servia's war
strength estimated at 100000 men and
Austria's at 100000 there would seem
to be little doubt of the outcome. But
there are so many more elements in
volved than figures that they can
scarcely be relied on. Austria has an
army common to both kingdoms, while
at the same time Austria and Hungary
each supports a second line army fully
organized and distinct from the COM
mon army and from each other.
Behind these are the reserves Of the
older men. The common army included
about one and a quarter million men and
each of the second line armies about n
quarter million. The politics OF the va
rious nationalities Of the empire have
had their effect on the army and II has
been only by skilful management that It

than the complete wiping out of the en-
tire machinery.
Apart from the deep sources Of Ger
manic and Slav racial antipathy the
hatred of Austria and Servia had its
beginning as far back as 1873 when by
the Berlin treaty Servia was given her
independence as State, while Bosnia
and Herzegovina. peopled by the very
flower of the Serb race, whose devoted
| patriotism had kndled the revolution

newly freed from Turkey, were arbi-
trarily divided, and part of them given
over to yoke just as hateful as that Of
the Moslem had been. For five years
they fought bitterly against 1t, while
Serv!a gave them her entire sympathy
and such material aid as her i'm
rpoverished condition would permit. Not
even the powerful army of occupation
that has always been maintained there
has been strong enough to control the
sentiment OF the people. THE SUN cor
respondent travelling through the coun-
try a few weeks ago found the bitterness
In no degree abated during the ten
years since he had previously observed
conditions there.
In securing her hold on Bosnia and
Herzegovina and the Dalmatian coast
Austria attained the highly important
advantage OF foothold on the Adriatic,
and at the same time defeated Servia's
equal necessity for such an outlet,
Through all the thirty-five years be-
tween the Berlin treaty and tho Balkan
war Servia struggled for a seaport. and
at every turn was checkmated by Aus
lria. To the failure to gain this end Ser
via attributes her slow commercial de-
velopment and the difficulty OF realizing
on her resources.
The so-called pig wars" and poultry
wars" were an outgrowth of this syste-
matte repression. Servia raised large
quantities OF pigs and fowl OF high
grade. and IL she could market them
readily would find them a valuable eX-
port. But Austria steadily maintained
ruinous quarantine regulation that pre-
vents the stock being transported across
her territory TO market The result was
that the Servlan market was glutted
with these products and the farmers re-
ceive no prices at all Two cents for
chicken and five cents for ham would
rouse the fighting blood OF any farming
community
During all this time Austria kept a

When Austria definitely annexed
Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sreiva saw her
hopes of their ultimate union with her
entirely defeated. She protested bit
terly, and carried her warlike prepara-
tions to such a point that her army
! practically confronted that OF Austria
on tho opposite side Of the Danube. The
interference of Germany which held
back Russia's hand extended TO aid the
Serbs was all that prevented serious
war. Here again Servia felt herself
outraged and defeated by the united
| Germanio influence. and nursing her
hurts she once more set herself to wait
for her opportunity
1t came with the outbreak OF the
Balkan war. when by series of brill
liant campaigns the Servians advanced
straight through Albania 10 Durazzo,
thus selling the coveted seaport. 1t is
not hard to recall the manpuvrings by
which Austrian diplomacy defeated this

kingdom Of Albania as a buffer. Al the
same time she was able to prevent Mon

tanning her hold on the hardly won
city OF Scutari. Not even the highly
desirable portions OF Macedonia that fell
to Servias lot at the end OF the war
We're able to compensate her for her
rage and disappointment in the loss OF
the footing on the sea.
Austria's irritation against Servia
which has expressed itself in the sharp
phrasing Of the ultimatum, Is based on
her belief In Servia's intention TO ag-
grandlze herself at the expense OF Aus
tria, and her belief in official connvance
in plots and schemes to ALLEVIATE her
subjects and so further her ends. Aus
tra sees as the most powerful enemy to

its name implies. has as its aim the

society has resorted TO many means OF
carrying on and spreading Its propa-
ganda, and has more than once figured
in court proceedings resulting from its
activities.
