In his daily English column on the
war, Herman Ridder, proprietor of
the New Yorker Stats zeitung, says
today:
1.-THE murder of the archduke of
Austria was one of the immediate
causes of the war. 1t led to the send
ing of the Austrian ultimatum. The
reports. which reached this country
at the time, caused the Impression to
become general that the Austria n
government served an impairment
and rigorous ultimatum, which, des-
pite it's severity, was accepted by Ser
via with but one reservation. The
NServians did not propose to permit
Austrian officials to take part in the
investigation to uncover the plot
which led to the murder, basing its
refusal on the necessity of maintain
ing the dignity of it's government.
1T has been assumed that the Ser
VANS in yielding on all other ques-
tions involved showed a willingness to
settle the points at issue. Austrian
sympathizers at first, unaware of the
facts of the case, maintained that
outraged Austria had no more trans
crossed its international rights than
the United States had done in send
ing the ultimatum to Mexico previous
to the taking of Vera Cruz.
Tho Servian answer has now be-
come a matter of history. What a
surprise to us to find in the detailed
account of the Servian reply not a
single unqualified acceptance of the
ultimatum. but rather general and
almost complete refusal. 1t will hard
ly be of interest to the American
people to go into all the details 1t
will suffice to illustrate the temper
and character of the answer by re-
fefring to that part of it which deals
with-thes school question.
Austria demanded in its ult'matum
.ne elimination of such Servian
school teachers as were clearly iden-
tilted with the anti-Austrian agita-
tior by being members of the active
anita ustriaf societies. II also asked
the suppression of such Servian
school textbooks as contained violent
anti Austrian sentiments. Surely
most Americans will agree with me
in saying that propaganda that be-
gins I'M the schoolroom and inflames
the minds of children against neigh
boring State cannot hep but cause a
continual state of unrest along the
border. 1t throws strong light on
the human element of the position
taken by Austria
"Servie. in it's so-called acceptance
of the iultimatum, deliberately omit
ted to include the Lehrmittel'
(means of teaching). among the
things from which she was to elm
mate the anti-Austrian influences.
This instance typifies the tone of
the Serviau acceptance which was
nothing but series of ambieuities.
An ultimatum is q last word and
a auibbling answe- m IT Is wholly
without dignity ne bitterness of
Servia toward Austria is so intense
that 1t is implanted in the minds of
the school children. kept alive by
secret societies and now God only
knows where it will end.
''All this is in line with everything
that we have learned to expect from

GERMAN ARMY
Says 100000 Have Been
Rushed South-Have Won
Citizens Friendship.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON. Aug PA dispatch to
the Daily Telegraph from Ostend
says:
An Englishman who succeeded in
getting out of Brussels Yesterday
makes the following statement re-
garding conditions there:
German troops are being rushed
southwark through Brussels as
rapidly as possible The general esti-
mate was that 20O,oo had passed
through during the forty-e eight hours
following the occupation of the city
The German troops are hnely
equipped and capable of making a
long and hard days march Some of
their officers whom l met in the cafes
told me that their companies were
making from thirty to forty miles a
day
The equipment of all the German
forces is wonderful. Every detail Is
perfect. l noticed that of the thou
sands of carts which passed not one
had been requisitioned, but all were
built for military service and bore the
government mark All. their horses
are equipped with an extra set OF
shoes, which hang from the stirrupo-
AT Waterloo | saw a part Of their
artillery being hurried southwark
toward Mons. / counted 230 guns
The Germans made an interesting
change in respect to the co1ors which
had flown from the Town Hall and
flagpoles. Previous to the occupa
ton the Belgian flag was in the CEN
tire. with a French tri-color on the
RIGHT and the British flag on the left.
When the Germans entered they re-
moved the British and French flags.
and in the centre they flew the arms
of the city of Brussels. with the col
ors of Belgium and Germany on the
ripi' and left
1.-THE Bourse and general postoffice
have been turned into dormitories for
the troops. None of the regular bar
racks have been utilized for this puf-
pose, the Germans evidently fearing
that they had been mined by the Bel
gians.
"In their dealings with the shop
keepers the German privates are COM
PEELED to pay cash. but the officers are
giving checks which the shop-keepers
are required to accept, although they
regard the chance of cashing the same
verv dubious.
There have been some lively scenes
In the city. At evening the German
officers gather at the principal hotels.
where they drink champagne and
dance with the pretty girls of the
town. The private soldiers and the
inhabitants are on quite good terms.
They mingle freely, eating, drinking
and smoking together in the cafes and
on the terraces.
mo newspapers have been permit
ted TO publish since the German oc-
cupation, except one journal which
printed a single issue with the an
nouncement of the death of THE pope
and a few official proclamations."
