Nations AtOddS
For Last Century
Austria and Servia Have Clashed on Many Occasions.
Causes That Have Brought on Crisis Have
Been ForeshadoWed for Years-Riots Last
Winter Aroused Students to Action.

While Austrias ultimatum to Servia primarily result
ed from the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and his
consor and followed the confession of Nedelo Gabrno
vics who threw the bomb June %, the i'll feeling be-
tween the two nations extends back many many years.
century ago part of the Servan was under Turkish
domination and part under the HapsburgS. The people
once under the Sultan have gained their freedom, while
those under the Hapsburg dynasty have not.
AS consequence of i'll feeling engendered through
this circumstance for many years is not surprising that
the situation grew acute when Gabrnovcs said in his con-
fession that there had been formed in Belgrade conspiracy
with Gabrio Prinzip who fired the fatal Shots and four
others inicabe to Austria to murder the achduke. One
of the conspiraors STUDENT has been apprehended but
the other three are at large.
While the fact of their freedom has tended to enrage
the Ausans the ultimatu it is said is attempt on the
part of the Hapsburg monarchy to crush the PaServan
union the aim of which to unite the entire Servian race
AS an added thorn in Austras political flesh the secretary
of that organization is Major Milan Pribtchevitch, at one
time an officer in the Austrian army. According to Cab
rnovcs confession he and his accompces appealed to the
major and thereby obtained from the Servian arsenal at
Kraguyevatz bombs and revolvers.

Italy Regards Servia
AS Hotbed of Intrigue

ROME, July 26.-Government news
papers carry INSPIRED articles" up
holding Austria in her peremptory de-
rnands upon Servia for satisfaction.
These papers hint at black intrigues
engineered in Belgrade against the
peace Of Europe.
Andrew Tore, a member of the cham
bSr Of deputies, who has close relations
with high officials OF the italian govern
ment, in a statement in the Corriere
Della Sera. says: If Italy had known
OF the Austrian note she certainly would
neither have counseled nor approved it."
According to certain political writer's in
Rome. Servia is trying TO precipitate an
European conflict with a view to weak
ening Austria so that the Servian gov
ernment can annex Bosnia and Herze-
govina, the two big tracts Of land seized
bv Austria from Turkey in 1905.
While the italian government is open
ly espousing the cause OF austria, it is
certain that Italy would oppose Aus
trian encroachment on the eastern
shores of the AdlHatic IL war should
follow and Seryia would be over
whelmed. The entire situation is so
complicated that 1t is difficult to zee
what realignment of European forces
would follow in the event of hostilities
Despite the pro-AustTian sentiment in
many quarters, powerful mec1bers OF
the Italian government are working for
a peaceful solution OF the trouble. In
diplomatic circles, the feeling prevails
that war win be averted.

Intense Desire for Peace
Is Expressed by Servia

BELGRADE, July 26-Servia's reply
20 Austria contained expression Of an
intense desire for friendly relations,
according to the government newspa-
per, Samouprava- The following,
which is generally accepted as indi-
eating the tenor of Servia's reply to
Austria, was published by the Sam
ouprays:
"Servia desires sincere and correct
neighborly relations with the dual
monarchy. Convinced of the neces-
sity of maintaining such relations the
Servian government will readily COM
ply with all the demands Of Austro-
Hungary which will serve to sup
press all criminal acts, manifesta-
tions and disorders in neighboring
countries.
SPecause the Servian government
considers II is thereby fulfilling the
obvious duty of a civilized state, the
government will in all sincerity do
everything possible to prove its in
tense desire fer friendly relations
with the dual monarchy"
This is the reply which has been
considered unsatisfactory.
All the safes containing the state
archives and funds Of the various
banks were removed to the interior of
the country for safety.
The Austrian legation sent Its
archives to Semlin. in Austro-Hun-
garian territory, across the Danube.

Austria spent large sums of money
on public improvements in the two
countries. Consequently. when the Tur-

necessary a parliament, representing
all parts of the Turish empire including
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria an
nexed those two countries and gave as
an excuse that the expenditures for
improvements gave to her a property
interest in the territory. Backed by
Russia, Servia protested vehemently to
the annexation. Thereupon Germany
came to the assistance of Austria. and

Breeding of Flies
Stopped by Borax

Borax is the newly discovered
preventive for the deadly typhoid
fly. Specialists in the Department
of Agriculture today announced
that ordinary borax, sprinkled
daily on manure, will effectively
prevent the breeding of the in
sects. Similarly, the same sub
stance applied to garbage. refuse,
damp floors, and crevices in
stables, cellars, or markets will
Borax will not kill the adult fly
nor prevent 1t from laying eggs,
but its thorough use will prevent
any further breeding.
The department has been con-
Quoting experiments at the Ar
lington farm in Virginia and at
New Orleans. in which the in
vestigators found that .62 of a
pound of borax or rs of a pound
OF calcined colemanite (crude
calcium borate), would kill the
maggots and prevent the develop
ment OF practically all of the flies
ordinarily breeding in eight BUSH
els of horse manure. This was
proved by placing manure in cages
piles treated with borax and from
untreated piles. The borax, IL was
found, destroyed the fly eggs and
maggots in the manure and pre-
vented their growth into flies.
In the case of garbage cans or re-
fuse piles, two ounces of borax or
calcined colemanite. costing from
cents a pound upward. according to
the quantity purchased, will ef
fectually prevent flies from develop
ing.
In treating stable deposits. the
borax should be sprinkled around
the outer edge of the piles, as fly
maggots congregate there.
Garbage and refuse should be sprin-
killed. generally with the preventive.
The District Health Department
welcomes the suggestion from the
Department of Agriculture, and the
experiment will be tried not only in
stables where horses used by the
Government are kept. but owners Of
horses generally will be urged to
cooperate In the effort to rid the
District of the germ-carrytng, dis

THE BALKAN QUESTION.

the promise proved to be merely words
Although Austria's still desired l.ath-
way TO the Aegean Sea remained closed,
she was determined to prevent the
Servians gaining a foOthold on the sea,
and thus. at least outwarGly. the politi-
cal situation existed until the second
Balkan war. The accusation was openly
made in Europe that the conflict was
due to Austria, II being charged that
that country caused Ferdinand of Bull
garia TO attack Servia. At the time
Austria took occasion to occupy the
Sanjak of Novibazar, a strip of territory
between Montenegro and Servia, which,
until the war OF 1912, was a Turkish
possession. Montenegro is inhabited by
u people as much akin to Servians as
are the Inhabitants OF Bosnia and Her
zegovina. Therefore, Austria again
took occasion to block the uniicat ton of
the Serbs because II 1t occurred at any
time the entire southwestern corner of
the Hapsburg empire would be cut off.
1t is not surprising that such a
train of events has caused hatred be-
tween the Austrfans and Serbs, ac-
cording to students of European po-
litical affairs. 1t has been necessary
for Austria always to have a large
army on the Servian frontier. One
