the quantity, not the quality, Of the German shells
that having effect on US, and it's not so much
the actual damage to life the helish, nerve
racking noise that counts for so much.
Townsmen who are used to the noise OF the
streets can stand it lot better than the country
men, and think you will find that by far the
ittest those regiments recruited in the big
cities. London lad near me says it is no worse
than the roar Of motor buses in the city on
busy day.
But the most graphic and infinitely detailed
picture of the psychic experiences Of a soldier
plunged for the first time into the pandemonum
of a modern battle is given by a wounded Russian
artillery officer, written from Petrograd hos
pital. He says:
| cannot say where we fought, for we are for
hidden to dvulge that, but will tell you my own
experiences

a battle really means When was declared

operations. | went with delight, and so did the
others When we reached our destination we
told that the battle would begin in the
morning.
At daybreak positions assigned TO US, and
the commander of the brigade handed US plan
of the action of our artillery From that mo-
ment horror possessed our souls II was not anx-
iety for ourselves fear of the enemy but a
feeling of awe in the face OF something unknown.
At o'clock we opened fire at mark which
could not distinguish, but which we understood
TO be the enemy.
Toward midday were informed that the Ger
cavalry WAS attempting to envelop our right
wing, and ordered in that direction Having
occupied our new position, waited. Suddenly
we see the enemy coming, and at the same time
he opens fire on u.s.

from Servian army stores; bombs Of the same
origin were found hidden in many places; not 3
single accompice of the crime could be laid hands
upon on Servan ground; they found protection
there instead Of prosecution.
II crcumstantial evidence has any meaning. the
case against official Servia seems to be made out
by these facts. But. what is more, the lamented
Archduke's assassination was not the first, but
within two years the fourth attempt organized
by the same gang Of murderers against the lives
Of faithful public servants in the southern parts
of Austria and Hungary.
Now in the name of ali that is human and just
and fair, for how many years more should we
have submitted to this? How many assassina-
tions more should we have left unprevented, un-
punished? What nation, big or small, can tolerate
the setting up in her neghborhood of a whole
machinery of treason and destruction, the organ
ization of a permanent conspiracy against her
moral cohesion, with murder lurking at every
street corner, threatening the individual safety
of her most valued citizens? Austria Hungary
had tolerated il long enough TO feel her strength
shaken 10 see her power questioned, her destruc-
ton discounted and her future ruler murdered
little more Of this and our fellow citizens of the
South Slavonic race would have learned to doubt
the monarchys capacity for defending the loyal
and Furnishing the traitors for making itself re-
spected, even by small neighbors. In the face OF
such weakness on one side and such INSCRIPTIONS
daring on the other, they might have wavered in
their allegiance to a state unable to protect them.
II was high time to drag treacherous as
saants from the dark recesses Of conspiracy into
the broad daylight Of plain speaking and open

its horrors, for its calamties? The answer 10
this question is perfectly clear. Since Austria
Hungary was in a state of lawful self-defence
against Servian aggression, those are responsible
for the greater evil who espoused the cause or
that aggression. And this is what Russia did.
She is the great cuprit. Her policy is the main
fountain whence torrents of blood and Of tears will
flow. Her allies have been drawn by her into the
concern Not that l wish to extenuate the guilt
and the disgrace of highly cultured nations like
France and England, who became in some way
the patrons and the associates of gang Of Ser
Wan murderers. But on Russia rests the chief
responsibility; on her head falls the great sin
against humanity implied in this war. From her
face the mask has fallen, unwilling the lust OF
power and expansion which inspires her policy
and which is the real of every unrest in
Europe.
In her war manifesto Russia tries TO pose as
the chivalrous defender Of a weak country against
a strong one That may appeal TO the ignorant;
in truth, it is barefaced humbugging. When
Austria Hungary had to coerce Servia she sol
EMMY declared that her only aim was TO win
those guarantees of her own tranquility which
Servia would not grant, but that neither Servia's
territory nor Servias independence would suffer
sny permanent mutilation. After that solemn
declaration made in the most binding form by
power whose word is good as any deed there
remained not the smallest pretext fer honest IN
reference.
Still Russia did interfere. On whose behalf!
On Servias? After the pledges freely given by
Austria Hungary, Servia nation needed no
protection; Austria Hungary's coercive action was

doing We had to exact from official Servia,
whose moral completely was established beyond
doubt efficient pledges, not words-which in the
case of confirmed liars are valueless-but meas
ures guaranteeing our tranquility as q nation and
the individual safety of our faithful public ser
wants Such pledges Servia would not give. She
evaded the summons in her habitual manner Of
double dealing granting a profusion OF words,
professions and promises whose mendacity was
proved by experience, but recoiling from every
measure really efficient. She was clearly resolved
10 90 on with her work of sneaking aggression
and to cultivate further her we'll tried methods
Of conspiracy. Austra-Hungary would have been
the laughing stock not of her enemies only but
Of her own citizens had she feigned to believe
where bad faith was manh est. There was no help
for it, We had to set aside extreme unwill-
ingness to adopt violent measures. We had TO
strike or TO resign our right to live.

THE PERMANENT CONSPIRACY AGAINST
AUSTRIA-HUNGARY.

From that time Seryia has been the seat of
permanent conspiracy against Austria Hungary
Associations were formed for the Liberation OF
the South Slavonic brethren" in Austria Hungary;
agents were sent 10 undermine among our fellow
citizens of South Slavonic race the feelings of
allegiance TO their country; wherever traitor
could be found among them, his services were en-
listed; Bosnia and Herzegovina were almost
openly claimed These two Turkish provinces had
been intrusted TO Austria-Hungary's care by the
Berlin treaty Of 1878, because only the impartial
rule Of a Western power could secure peace and
liberty in a country inhabited by Mahometans,
Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christians.
As a matter of fact, they throve and developed
under the enlightened government of Austria
Hungary TO a degree of welfare unknown in any
other part of the Balkan peninsula. Neverthe-
less, Servia took hardly any pains to hide her
covetousness concerning these provinces, where
under her rule two-thirds of the population would
be submitted to the tyranny of racial and
religious intolerance which the unhappy Bull
gGrians Of Macedonia experiencing at her
hands II was this covetousness which brought
us to the verge Of war in 1908, when Bosnia and
Herzegovina were formally annexed to Austria
Hungary.
That was done precisely TO shut the door against
intrigues feeding their ambiguous juridical
