Causes Leading Up to Great
War In Europe; Responsibility
RestsOnAged Austrian Emperor

Americans as a rule are puzzled as
to the causes leading up to the Euro
pean conflagration. Upon the head of
the aged emperor OF Austria Hungary,
Francis Joseph, rests the responsibility
Of bringing on the conflict
Austria's southeastern provinces
have large Servian populations. That
is, the people are Servian by race and
sympathy. just as there is a population
which is Mexican by race and SYM
pathy in southern California, Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas, though born
in the United States.
Two important Austrian provinces,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, originally
were Servia's.
Many years ago they passed to
Turkey. The war of 1873 loosened
Turkeys grip. The sultan retained a
nominal suzerainty, but the provinces
were under Austrian supervision.
1t was plain they must pass ulti-
mately altogether out of Turkeys
hands. When this happened, Servia
hoped to acquire them again. A large
share of their people. being Servians,
wanted this to happen.
In 1908 Austria, however, suddenly
annexed both provinces. This was a
severe blow to Servian ambitions, but
Servia was not strong enough to re-
sist. and Russia had not then suffi-
GENTLY recovered from the effects of
the war with Japan to render any aid.
Servia had another ambition. An
inland country, it was compelled to
trade through Austrian ports on terms
unfavorable to Servian commerce. The

The MaiAstlo.

The special attraction at the Ma
jestic theater today is one that is Of
fered to the public only at rare in
tervals. 1t has always been considered
by every one that the conviction for
a felony and its subsequent incarcera-
ton in prison carried with 1t such a
stigma OF shame and disgrace that
when liberty was finally secured the
unfortunate ones greatest desire was
to go to some distant place, hide his
identity under an assumed name and
spend the rest of his life trying to for
get and lie forgotten.
But Hassell, who served three year
sentence at Salem, Ore, AYERS that
such course is a mistaken one. BE
cause the system used in our contract
prisons IS one OF such brutality and
tends towards educating criminals in
a large school of crime, that when one
leaves and says nothing about the
treatment he receives it is just what
the officials most desire as 1t leaves
them unchecked and unrestrained in
their course of debasing humanity.
The only way of effecting a reform is
by throwing the searchlight of pub
licity upon the corrupt part of the sys-
tenn"
Hassell's lecture at the Majestic
deals with life behind prison walls as
he saw II and the story is filled with
heart interest that thrills and vi

Germany is Austria's ally and its In
terests are so interviewer with Austria's
interests that an Austrian success or
reverse would be correspondingiy a
success or a reverse for Germany. 1t
is doubtful IL A stria could have stood
long against Russia, but Germany. see
ing Russias preparation against Au-
stria, went to her ally's aid, declaring
war against Russia
France is Russia's ally. II IL be-

of the Franco -Prussian war. Finally,
1t could not afford to see Germany
achieve such Continental power as 1t
would win by defeating Russia
Italy for Germany.
Italy is the ally Of Germany and
Austria. With Russia and France in
arms against its allies, the Italians,
although they have declared their neu-
trality, cannot, it is believed, help but
lend their help to Germany and Au-
stria-
England is allied with France and
Russia It's relations with Germany,
too, have long been strained. Germany
has long sought to become a colonial
power. England had the best colonies
all -empted. Germany resented this.
England. in turn, resented Germany's
construction of a powerful war fleet,
feeling that 1t threatened Engiands
domination of the seas. The war hav-
ing involved Germany, Austria, Russia
and France, it iB a foregone conclusion
that England will enter the struggle on
the Russian and French side.
Other States.
The Montenegrins, Slavs like the
Servians, have already declared they

best information are prepared to con-
tend that they need more revenues to
meet the increasing expenses Of opera
tions and point out that their lines are
in even greater need of relief than the
eastern lines because of necessarily
longer hauls and less density of popu-
lation. The roads traversing the Pa
