WHY THIS GREAT WAR
FORCES AND FACTORS IN EUROPE
THAT LED UP TO WAR ARE
COMPLEX AND MANIFOLD.
SETTLE LONG TIMEsGRUDGE
Russia's Millions Anxious to Acquire
Land and to Reach the Sea-Ger-
many's Interest Lies in Support
ing Austria-FinaI Test.

The forces and factors in Europe
that led to war between Germany and
Russia are complex and manifold.
Underneath all the clashing ambi-
the Hohenzollern and the Hapsburg OH
the other lie the pressure of economic
forces and the conflicting aspirations
of the Slav and the Teuton. The teem-
ing millions of Russia are earth hun
CRY n mad to reach the sea and it's
opportunities for world-expansion. The
Slavs there and in central, eastern and
southeastern Europe are impatient to
win their place in the sun and unite in
racial fellowship. The Teutons OF
Germany and Austria block their way
and have their own ambitions to real
ize and crafty. Conflict between the
two races, European governments and
economic conditions being what they.
are, was .irrepressible and inevitable
and has been coming to a head for gen.
erations and centuries.
Other Causes.
So much for the remote cause. Now
for the immediate occasions.
Germanic Austria since 1866 has been
looking under the leadership of Kaiser
Franz and the late Archduke Ferdi-
nand, both of the Hapsburg dynasty, to-
acquire the Slav countries of the Bal
kans and make it's way to the lower
Adriatic and the Aegean. But BuE
garia, Montenegro and Servia, the
Slav nationalities, have been growing
in power and prestige, as have also
Greece and Roumaiia which are not
Slav peoples. Austria has been try
ing to break them down, Russia to
protect them and build them up. All
have been selfish and INSCRIPTIONS in
their conscious purposes, but each has
been partly the creature of circum-
stances beyond its control. Austria
has intrigued in the Balkans to disin-
tegrate the Slavs and in 1908 annexed
Bosnia and Herzegovina in violation Of
its promise at Berlin in 1873. Russia
and the southern Slavs have schemed
in Austria-Hungary to disrupt the dual
monarchy through revolt by it's Slavic
subjects. Russia in 1908 was too weak
to resist the Austro-Hungarian seizure,
of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but now it
is strong and dares not leave Servia to
be crushed by Austria.
Germany's interest. ~fI}
Germany's interest lies in supporting
Teutonic Austria as a bulwark against
the Slav. Germany six years ago CO.
creed Russia into inaction. Austria's
picked quarrel with Servia over the
assassination of Ferdinand on June 20
and yer pan-Slav agitation within the
empire was the deliberate challenge Of
Germany and Austria to Russia. The
Teuton felt that his best hour for fight
ing the Slav had come. The triple al
lance dared to Measure swords with
the threefold agreement-Austria, Ger
many and Italy against Russia, France
and England.
1t is the final and supreme test of
strength between the two armed
camps of Europe.

FREIGHT RATES co UP
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITS
SION GRANTS 5 PER CENT IN
CREASE TO SOME ROADS.
EAST OF MISSISSIPPI RIVER
No Advance Allowed East of Buffalo
and Pittsburg to Atlantic Seaboard
Two of Commission Wanted
Increase to Be General.

Washington. - In a divided opinion
Saturday the interstate commerce com
mission granted some of the 5 per CEN
freight rate increases asked for by the
eastern railroads and denied others.
Increases will apply in the territory
north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers
and, from a vertical line drawn
through Buffalo and Pittsburg, west
as far as the Mississippi river.
All class rates and many commodity
rates are increased 5 per cent in that
section.
Big Territory ls Excluded.
No advances whatever were permit.
ted east from Buffalo and Pittsburg
to the Atlantic seaboard.
That excludes from the area from
which the railroads will receive bene.
fits the greatest traffic-producing cen.
tiers of the country.
Commissioners Daniels and Nc
Chord dissented from the majority
opinion. Mr.. Daniels held that a 5
per cent increase should have been
general--that the railroads were en-
titled to it to meet the high cost of
living. Mr.. McChord held that the
reasons which the majority held to
warrant an increase west of Pitts,
bugr applied equally to the territory
east.
No Increase on Coal Rates.
Coal, which alone comprises more
than one-half the total traffic of the
railroads will have no advance.
Neither will coke, brick, tile, clay,
starch, cement, iron ore and plaster.
Neither will there be any increases on
lake-and-rail rates.
Condemning what is characterized
as a propaganda to influence its de-
cision the commission said:
There can be no doubt that this
clamor and cutlery have tended to
mislead the public and have seriously
aggravated the present commercial
depression"
The majority, headed by Chairman
Harlan, held as to rates west of Pitts
burg, that they were the lowest in
the country and warranted an in
rea While it was held that the
income of the eastern railroads was
smaller than demanded in public in
terest, M showing had been made
warranting a general increase.
The real relief, the commission held,
for the New England roads, and those
in Central, Freight association terri
tory was financial reorganization up
on a sound basis. 1t was held that
rather than raising freight rates the
railroads should discontinue costly
free services to shippers, develop ef-
~ficiency of personnel and equipment,
stop giving free passes and possibly
increase their passenger fares to keep
pace with the high grade service the
public demanded.
The contention of the railroads that
their revenues under the present scale
Of rates are inadequate is sustained,
the commission saying that the op-
Grating income of the railroads in Of
fetal classification territory, taken as
a whole, is smaller than is demanded
in the interest Of both the general
public and the railroads.

spokANE,s MARKET REPORT

There are no radical changes in the
general or local business situation. 1t
is the period of the year when trade
Is usually quiet in retail lines, and
when developments are not of marked
consequence normally, and the fact
that distribution is holding up to the
normal is a favorable feature of the
situation, while the continued air of
optimism, the multiplying evidences
that commerce and industry will make
an aggressive effort, and with conf
dence in it's success looking toward an
active fall campaign, imparts a good
undertone to the situation.
The progress in securing the abnor-
mally large crops of the country is
satisfactory. Through this influence,
and, with the termination of activities
in other directions, there has come
an increased call for money, and the
fact that capital is finding profitable
investment is regarded as favorable.
The government has made available
$34, 000, 900, for financing the crop
movement, and the various centers
are putting in requisiti ons for their
quota.
Provisions.
Butter-In sympathy with the coast
markets the local price of all grades
of creamery butter was boosted &c per
pound this week, making the figures
27c to 30c.
Eggs-Values on eggs have taken a
little wider range in the local mar
ket, both in the price to the producers
and at wholesale. The figures on the
former are $6.6o@6.75 and the latter
$7.50@S.5O.
Poultry-The trend of prices on
chickens still continues upward, quo
tations this week being lac live weight
and tic and 19c dressed. Springers
are also a little firmer at tic and 24c,

that therefore Mrs. Rosenwald should
be treated in the same manner, and
that Mr.. Edgar acquiesced in the sug-
gestion; that thereupon the board de-
cided that they would tax Mrs Rosen-
wald only about one.tenth of the
amount which appears upon the
books, as the taxes on this stock, but
that nevertheless they fixed the tax
at the larger amount, and now by the
certificate of error granted to Mrs.
Rosenwald they seek to carry out this
supposed agreement with Mr.. Edgar.
''Manifestly neither Mr.. Edgar nor
the Board of Review had any author
ity to enter into such an illegal agree
'ment. The market value of the stock
of Sears, Roebuck & Company, either
upon the day the Board of Review
met, or at any day since, is readily
ascertainable as the stock is listed
upon the Chicago Stock Exchange, is
not upon the New York Stock Elk

the duty Of enforcing the collection of

special favors or courtesies which
either the Board of Review or Mr..
Edgar might have intended to extend

else, or for any other reason. If the
tax appearing on the books of the
Board of Review was the legal tax
against Mrs. Rosenwald for the
amount of stock held by her at that
time, shall insist upon collecting it
by suit or otherwise.
II wish to show you every courtesy
as lawyer, and if you inform me
that it is your desire to file bill in
chancery to enjoin the collection of
this tax, and test the question, shall

"Mr. Hoyne's campaign to force
payment of proper taxes heralds the
dawn of a new era in handling tax
dodgers" said Maxwell Edgar, attor-
ney for the Illinois Tax Dodgers Re-
form Association. THE case of Mrs.
Rosenwald is a good one because it
will furnish stepping stone to others
where greater amounts are involved.
