GREAT STRIFE IS
RESULT Of HATES
OF MANY NATIONS
European War Has Been Brew
ing for YearS-EaCh COun-
try is Jealous of Other and
Has Selfish Desires.

LONDON. Sept. 1.-THE great
armageddon in Europe was not
happen-so. II did not start and
spread from a concrete incident. His
torians will not be able 20 put their
fingers on one act and say that there
is the spark that set the cOnfiagra-
ton. changed the may OF Europe and
affected the whole world The decla-
ration Of war OF great big Austria
Hungary against diminutive Servia
did not cause the European war. 1t
was only seized upon as a pretext
The war was bound TO come The
wonder OF II was that IL did not begin
last year. at the close OF the Balkan
war. when there was talk OF Russia
aiding Montenegro when Austria
Hungary made King Nicholas give up
Scutari which the MOntenegrins had
captured b. hard fighting and with
tremendous losses.
Preparing for War.
The fact Of the matter is that every
one OF the great powers had for years
been preparing for war and they were
all looking for an excuse to fight. For
a long period the British lion, the
German eagle, the Russian bear,
France and Austria-Hungary had
been going about with chips on their
shoulders daring any nation To knock
them off, and secretly hoping that
they would.
For years the great chancellories OF
Europe were preparing for war while
ostensibly doing everything possible
10 prevent IL. Diplomats on the IN
side OF things knew that war was in
evitable and those who are close to
the state secrets Of the continent
were not a bit surprised when war
finally came. Their establishment was
tina. it had been so long delayed.
First and foremost. all of the war
ring powers had axes To grind which
only war could accomplish. They all
had grievances against each other.
England long has been Jealous of the
ccEimercial activity of Germany. The
tremendous growth Of German trade
and thereby influence in South Amer
lea, Asia, Australia and Africa filled
the British manufacturers with envy.
Germany was fast encroaching on
England's world trade. one way to
cripple German commerce was to go
10 war with Germany, capture her
ships, paralyze her industry, vanquish
her il possible
Germany Jealous.
Germany likewise always has been
jealous of the power Of England.
Germany aspires TO the leadership OF
Europe and the domination of world
trade. To take a place at the head
OF the European powers would en-
able Germany TO spread her trade
over the earth. England now holds
that place. One way to capture Eng
lands trade vas to declare war on
England, destroy her mastery Of the
sea and depose her as the guardian OF
the balance of power.
France has never forgotten the bit
ter humiliation of 1870. She is still
grno ring from the defeats Of the
Franco Prussian war and the loss OF
Alsace and Lorraine. There has never
been a day in the past 43 years when
every Frenchman was not acquiver &c

tro-Servian embroglio was a welcome
excuse for France TO declare war.
Russia Interested.
Beginning before the Balkan wars.
there has been a movement on foot IN
the near east for a pan-Slavic union,
a coalition Of all the Slav states in
southeastern Europe. under the lead
ership of Russia. Such a combina-
ton Of Servia. Bulgaria. Roumania
and Montenegro would form an en-
pire that would be a great menace to
Austria-Hungary With Russia at its
back, such a pan-SlaVic union would
seriously threaten the domination Of
Germany and Austria-Hungary The
car has a secret ambition to form
such a coalition and one way TO bring
IL about was to war on Germany and
Austria. Then too. the Russian peo-
pie are still smartfng from the defeat
they suffered at the hands OF Japan.
There was a popular clamor in Russia
for war. war against anybody and
everybody, as one way to wipe out
the disgrace Of the Japanese victory.
Both AUSTRIA Hungary and Ger
many were in mortal terror Of the
growing Importance Of the Balkan
states and the threatened pan-Slavic
union. One was TO effectua1ly pre-
vent such a combination or at least
stave it off was to fight Russian and
Servia.
And so. with every power of Eu-
rope having its grievances its jeal-
ousies. hatred and fears, the titanic
conflict now raging there was not &

A complete force OF all arms. which

BOWLING ASSOCIATION
TO Be PERMANENT
Washington Among Leading
Cities to Bring Pin Gamee1a
Uniform Standard.

Describing a territory which embraces
practically every town and city East of
Pittsburgh. the Atlantic Coast Bowling
Association was temporarily organized
at a meeting at the Chamber of Com
merce. Delegates from various points
within the Jurisdiction mentioned above
were present at last nights session. p.
3. Fletcher. of the local branch of the
Brunswick Bake = Collender Company
organization will be effected next
month.
The main purpose of the new body,
which will have charge of establishing
rules and regulations governing the big
and little pin games Is to create uni
form laws under which they shall be
rolled. When ali of the cities bowl their
games or a common basis. or by the
same rules. on alley OF the same di-
mansions and with similar balls and
pins, much more iEtercity and inter
sectional bowling is expected to be &C
complished. The need for bringing the
ly demonstrated in the Brockton Wash
ington episode last winter. and Wash
inston is one OF the most enthusiastic
cities backing the rev movement.

has been named temporary secretary of
the new association. Among the olit-ef-
town representative present last night
were: W. V. Thompson. of Chicago. a

! not. as In this country, where the diff
ferent principals shift the blame until
finally IL is impossible to ascertain just
who is the responsible rarty. It also
picking out the soft ones and avoiding
the men who are really in his class, az
they do in this country.
The whole boxing game is conducted
much more properly than II is In this
country. A fighter has a proper social
position equal to that of any other pro-
fessional man. He Is welcome to the
home of everyone, and ii is not an un-
common occurrence to read the name
tending one of the real social affairs of
the country. In fact, because of the
strict laws that govern boxing, a fight
er Is considered human being and
must conduct himself accordingly or
else leave the country.
The scene at one of the big shows
that are being staged semi-weekly is
in deep contrast to what one would wit
ness in this country. Thousands of
women attend accompanied by their
women may be seen leading their
young offspring by the hand to one
of the matinees. To them a fighter
is the same as some famous actor or
singer. they read of him and are famil-
lar with his record.
The same holds good for every other
branch Of sports. II is not an unusual
thing to see more than 5000 persons at
a cricket match. football game, or
at a race meet. Real sporting enthus-
iasm Is apparent in every one there.
Thousands Of dollars are waged on the
different sporting events and without a
single word of scandal all because of
the enforcement of their strict laws.
Another element that has entered the
game and perhaps the one that has
contributed more to the success of the
game than any other is the one that
holds the promoter as liable to all re-
quirements OF the contract as the fight
er. He must make good every clause
of the contract and not cheat the ath-
lee out of his just share of the re-
ceipts. The government makes sure of
this and IL the promoter fails to live
up to all his promises he IL reported
and in turn Is compelled to enter a
satisfactory answer or else surrender
his license.

Australia Holds Honor Of Being
the Greatest Sporting
Nation in the World.

The real reason WHY America has
relinquished her title of the greatest
sporting country In the world to far
distant Australia is the laxity of laws
governing boxing in this country.
The Australian authorities have been
farsighted enough to realize that with
out proper laws to govern boxing. Its
life would be very short. Therefore,
they have taken a hand in the game
themselves, and formulated a code
whereby the interests of all concerned
fighters, managers, promoters. and pub
lic-are safeguarded. the same as they
are in every other walk of life. These
laws have worked with such good re-
suits that over there fighting Is looked
and not as an opportunity offered to
fighter and manager to rob the public,
as has been the custom in America
In Australia a contract between two
fighters to engage in a bout Is the same
as any other business contract. and II
one or the other fighters fails. to fulfill
any of the requirements of said cen
tract. he Is by due process of law
brought before the authorities and made
felt his right TO indulge further in his
profession. There contract triples all
that IL contains. and is not worthless
document as IL Is considered in America.
Another method that Is in vogue over
there and which, no doubt, has as
sisted very materially in placing the
sport on its proper footing, is that Of
having the fighters meet men selected
by the promoters. Thus good, even
matches are insured to the public. and
the chances of framing" or taking
a fight are at a minimum. For this
reason, IL one should occur. the respon-
sibility of such An affair could be
placed upon the proper shoulders and

While admitting that British golf is
upon a higher average than American.
the margin is not nearly so great as
many Britons seem to think 1t is
true that America this season failed
to make any dent in Albionic golf
scenery. But golf is a game Of queer
and sudden shifts. Last season Heinie
Schmidt, who failed to qualify for the
United States amateur championship.
sailed on into the six round and gave
Hilton, the English titleholder, an even
battle until a twenty-fiye-foot putt on
the last green ended the match.
And it is we'll enought to remember
that England hasn't torn up any golf
scenery in America. Hilton won one
championship. matching a victory for
Travis abroad. But Hilton, under n
thirty-six-hole tesla fairer one than
Travers drew-passed out at the start
in the United States championship of

Summed up. America has won one
British amateur championship and Eng
land has won one United States amateur
title. Which is not. as a matter of
record and actual achievement, any
