she fought her way to the coast and
raised her flag over DurazZo.
Gets "Window on the Sea-"
At last she had her window on the
sea-" But it was not for long. The
elder nations held a conference in
London, and decreed that Servia must
retire. Once more she was thrust
back; and the powers resorted to the
extraordinary expedient of creating
the ABSURD little kingdom of AL
bania, with a puppet ruler who is
even now fighting to hold his phan-
tom throne, as buffer state between
Servia and the Adriatic.
Nothing but desperate statesman
ship could have hoped that a device
so transparently unjust would pro-
mote permanent peace.
Meanwhile, Servia's inextinguish-
able ambition has grown ficer under
repression, the Pan-Serb union, which
aims to unite the whole race, has fur
ther infiamed Austria's fear and an
ger.
What's Behind 1t?
What does it all mean? What re-
sistless force is it that turns whole
peoples into war-crazed mobs in an
age when peaceful civilization is, in
theory, the animating spirit of the
world?
Even a casual traveller in Europe
is startled by the universal accept
ance of the idea that such general
war was inevitable. Territorial am
5itions, international intrigue, vast
military prepartions-these are the
unending subjects of discussion and
speculation.
There are two underlying causes:
First is the economic pressure which
increasing populations mad lack of
natural resources have exerted for
generations upon the nations of CEN
trail Europe, to be overcome, they be-

The Cause of The Great European Conflict

With nearly every country of Eu-
rope smouldering with war-fires, the
causes behind the inevitable conflict
are of keen interest.
The direct causes are very simple.
Austria demanded of Servia repara-
ton for the murder of Archduke
Ferdinand and his wife a few weeks
ago.
The language of this demand was
so harsh as to be humiliating to
Servia and there Is little doubt that
it was purposely sc framed so there
would be a refusal and preteXt for
war.
Real Issue Masked.
Behind Austria's demand was the
inveterate hatred of Servia and her
Unsuitable ambition to extend her en-
pire to the Aegean sea.
For two centuries the hardy, war
like Serbs have dreamed of the erec-
ton of a strong, united nation in the
Balkan peninsula. 1t seemed near to
realization in 1878, when Servia
wrested her independence from
Turkey; but Austrian influence was
strong enough to write into the Ber-
lin treaty provision that she should
nave suZerainty over Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
Serb Is Curbed.
The settlement gave Austria her
coveted foothold on the Adriatic and
at the same time, shut Servia in from
the sea.
For 35 years Servia has struggled
FOR the outlet which her development
demands, but in vain. In 1909 Aus
Jria formally annexed Bosnia anG
Herzegovina, and all but precipitateG
then the general war.
But Servia's military triumps ir
the two Balkan wars of recent years
revived her hopes. In defiance of the
alarmed warning of the great powers

porter of the Slacic people whom Aus
tria threatens.
When Russia stepped between Aus
tria and Servia, Germany was bound,
under the terms of the triple alliance,
to take her stand with the dual mon
archy.
In that case, a like understanding
placed France at the side of Russia,
not only ready to aid her Musco-

on Germany for the humiliations of
1870. Italy owes similar obligation

these two groups have been on the

and, Russia and her allies being un.
