excus to plunge that little country
and his W into a war that can have
but one end If the two fight it out
alone. However much Servians may
have been to blame for the murder of
Austria's heir. one cannot help but see
behind the cry of Franz Josef for en-
geance the Interior motive that has
been back of similar unsuccessful
moves in the past to annex Servia to
the Austrian domain.
Very naturally Servia, flush with her
recent victories and always of a a
like disposition. has declined to sub
NIT to all the humilities that Austria
demanded and it seems very likely
that Austria realized that this would
be the result when these demands
were first made. However, the real
issue is more than one between the
governments of Austria and Servia.
1t is the old antagonism of Teutonic
Austria for the Slavish race and the
feeling of Russia that, in case Aus
tria overcomes Servia, the integrity of
that little state will no longer be per-
mitted. hat has drawn the car
and his counsellors into their present
threatening attitude. Russia has for
years held the hope of finding an out
let to the Mediterranean and this
naturally rests in the integrity of the
Slav states between her and the sea-
board. 1t is for this reason, mainly,
that the great Russian Bear has inter-
fered between the little Serb state and
her great Germanic rival.
The eyes of the world, therefore,
rest on st. Petersburg. 1t is for this
reason that Germany issued her ulti-
matum to the car yesterday, which in
effect means that either he must reply
that Russia will remain pacific in the
present contest or come out openly
and. say hat it is a question of either
Austria backing down or immediate
hostilities. In case of the latter, Ger
many and Austria will both direct
their attention toward the Russian
frontier, Germany not forgetting the
fact that she must look out for Eng
land coming down from the north and
France rushing in from the west.
Probably the first effort of France in
that event would be to seize Alsace-
Lorraine, a movea that, II successful,
would set the French people in a fever
of patriotic frenzy and be a great
asset to the morale of the French
armies.

THE EUROPEAN PROJECTS

HACK of the crisis that to-day
threatens to plunge all Europe
- into an international war is the
everlasting clash of race against
race, as well as the contentious of the
nations for commercial supremacy.
The denial to Austria of what Servia
holds to be her rights has caused a
tremendous upheaval in Russia, and
Russia is dragging along toward the
awful struggle her allies, France and
England. On the other side are Aus
tria. Germany and Italy, although in
the event of warfare 1t would not be
surprising 70 find Italy declining to
enter the conflict. The possibility of
japan being drawn into the threatened
war is not impossible, but would seem
to be improbable, Notwithstanding re-
ports. Japan has no reason to ioin
with the triple entente except that
she is in some degree under obligations
to England as an ally. 1t is doubtful.
however, if England would go to the
extent of asking. Japan to take an
active part in the European contro-
versy.
Tt is interesting to note that the
emperor of Austria lays at the door
of Servia blame for the recent tragedy
that deprived Austria of her heir to
the throne and he is using this as an

THE PRESIDENTS FAILURE

IT is an old saying that nothing sue
ceeds like success. 1t was for this
reason above all others that when
President Wilson was swept into
power with a Congress overwhelmingly
Democratic behind him the Democracy
Of the country was willing to bow the
knee and hail him as the source of all
power in the national government.
The President was at the height of his
are He had promised much and
was in a position to enact the legis-
1stion he had outlined. He was pop
ular, for people, regardless of politics,
believed in his sincerity. Old political
leaders went to him for advice and
Congress did his bidding without
demur.
But recently it has been seen that
b little god at Washington has feet
OF clay. His mistakes nave been piling
UP against him. The results of his
blunders in legislation have plunged
the business of the country into de-
~spondency at a period when a big boon
should have been in progress, and,
finally, the Senate has discovered that
1t has the power to disagree very
effectually with the President when it's
opinions do not coincide with those of
the White House.
Further, Washington has been sur
prised to note hat Senator Hitchcock,
laboring under the handicap of presi-
dental disapproval, has not only not
fallen beneath the criticism of the
voters at home, but has actually re-
ceived their endorsement. Following
this the Democrats of Texas have set
themselves up as about to conduct the
affairs of their party without the as
sistance of Mr.. Wilson, who took a
very active interest in the contest for
Governor in that State, endorsing pub
licly and bringing to bear the power
OF his Cabinet in behalf of a candidate
who was overwhelmingly defeated at
the polls.
Immediately on the heels of this
rebuke comes the news from Georgia
that the administration candidate for
Governor in that State, Director of
Census Harris, has actually withdrawn
from the contest. Mr.. Harris looked
over the field very carefully and found
that the Wilson administration was
not sufficiently powerful in that State
to command h respect of the voters
and insure a nomination. In fact, the
opposite was so apparent that Mr..
Harris did not care to endanger his
own prestige and that of the President
by continuing in the race.
In Tennessee a very similar con-
dition prevails. In that State Presi-
dent Wilson was repudiated and in
Arkansas Senator Clark, the personal
selection of the President. encountered
a fight even harder than did the White
House Twins in Pennsylvania last May.
The whole trend of the national
affairs seems to indicate that the Presi-
dent has failed to hold the confidence
of the people n Democracy is
doomed to second place after the No
vember elections. Never were Repub-
lican hopes so bright and never did a
party in national power SO lose it's
prestige in two years as has the Demo-
cratic administration under President
Wilson and his advisers.

The new 100000 school building

ally opened on March LIST with ap-

who announce that the building would

and also with Superintendent Rice,
who expressed strong desire to get
into the new building at the earliest
practicable date.
In conformity with this decision,
and with view to expediting matters
the extra furnishings necessary for

rangements were ordered by telegraph
