MILITARY sYsTEMIs
G|VENAs CAUSE OF WAR
DIR. n. II. Dabney Lectures to Large
Audience at John Marshall
High School.
ITS HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Prussian Ideal OF. World Supremacy
Maintained by Blood and Iron
Outlined by University OF Virginia
Professor of History.

Extensive militnrism. coupled with
the domination OF Prusgia over the
weaker German states, led to the out
break of the present war, according to
the statements of DIR. n. II. Dabney.
professor OF history at the University
OF Virginia, who lecturod before "A
i0rge audience last night In tho John
Marshall High School auditorium. He
did not lay the cause OF the conflict d.
rectly Mt tho doors OF the Kaiser. as
has been done by. some writer's, but
said II was the inev' cable outcome OF
the previous imperial policy. Dr.. Dab
neH announced his subject as THE His
torical Background of the European
War;" but he only had time to trace
the rise of the German empire. which
he charncter;zed M tho AGGRESSION.
From tho time when the Huns over
threw the Holy Roman Empire and the
days of Chnriemagne. he said that the
race hns had the ideal OF a world
power. Through the rule of the Elcc-
tor OF Brandenburg. Frederick William
and Frederick the Great, this idea wis
carried cut. Right was might. and BY
blood and Iron the German confed.
eracy was formed by Bismarck.
SIMPLY A DEsIRE
TO GAIN MORE POWER
The war OF 1870 was simply desire
uS l'ruSBia 10 gam more power, LII.
Dabncy asserted. Everything had
been arranged beforehand. as IL Is said
has been done recently. In DR.. Dab
ney's opinion. the taking OF Alsacc-
Lorraine from France was a great mis-
take on Bismarck's part. and has
given Germany trouble ever since. II
would have been better to havo taken
n larger indemnity.
This strip OF land has been the bone
of contention between tho countries"
he said, and Is one OF the main causes
Of the present conflict" II Is his opin :
ion that 1t has done moro than any one
thing to make Europe an armed camp.
DR.. Dabney showed how !he triple
entente and the triple alliance wero
formed. and now the mailed fist" has
been upheld over the Continent ever
since the Franco-Prussian War. He
has lived three years in Germany. and
said that the Emperor Ia the most won
derful philosopher and orator he has
ever heard. The Kaiser makes tho
mistake, no said, however. In trying
TO force that culture on the world by
tho srnrd. II this militarism can be
crushed. he stated thnt tho Gcrma n
people, who are naturally kindly, Will
be tho best on earth.
Or. j. ~. c. Chandler, Superintendent
OF Schools, who introduced the speaker.

HUG AND KISS.
Ceremony that Allows Judges to
Separate Jeweler From Wife
and $1,000 a Year AlimOny.

New York.-That a wedding SOL
emnized with kiss and hug is suf-
ficient to justify the award of 81 200
year alimony was shown in the
grant of that sum this week by Mrs.
Emma L. Hall. She obtained sep
aration in March from her husband,
wealthy diamond dealer.
Hall admitted he had lived with
Mrs. Hall for IL years, but never re-
cognized her as his wife, and denied
there had been any marriage cere-
mony.
Mrs. Hall testified at the trial that
Hall placed his arm about her waist,
kissed her and said: This is sacred
and binding a marriage ritual as any
other"
Justice Greenbaum decided the
ceremony was binding and awarded
Mrs. Hall a separation.
The court ordered Hall to pay the
alimony in monthly installments of
5000 and to furnish SIS, 900 security
to insure its payment.
Mrs. Hall testified at the trial that
Hall wore diamonds on his suspend
ers, on his garters, in his shirt front
and even had large diamond in the
button that held the neckpiece of his
overcoat together.
Hall also had his pockets full OF
diamonds of all kinds, Mrs. Hall ties,
titled. and often exhibited handful:
of them to prospective buyers.
