THE CRISIS IN EUROPE
Brief Portrayal Of Sudden
War Conditions.
MIGHTY STRUGGLE IS ON
president Wilson Declares Neutral
ity of United States.

The dispatches indicate that the
nations of Europe are face to face
with great war that now seems
inevitable. Austria and Germany
are aligned against Servia, Russia
and France. Italy hopes to be
able to keep out of the conflict but
is apt to be drawn into it eventual
ly on account of being member
OF the triple alliance with Germany
and Austria.
AT 7 O'Clock p. M, August 4,
Great Britain declared war against
Germany for violating the neutral
ity Of Belgium. To avoid a
strongly fortified point. Germany
insisted on entering France by
marching troops across Belgian
soil. The Belgian government had
stoutly refused permission to al
low German troops to cross her
territory. England's request that
the neutrality Of Belgium should
be respected was summarily re-
lected by Germany. German
troops entered Belgium Aug. a,
and Great Britain's declaration OF
war followed Immediately.
England, while anxious to re
main at peace, is preparing her
army and navy for whatever con-
tingency might arise. Japan. who
is in alliance with England, is
reported also ready to join in the
struggle should she deem it neces-
sary. All the small states of the
Balkans are flying to arms behind
/ Servia. Belgium, Holland, Swift
zerland and Denmark are calling
out their reserve armies in readi-
| ness to protect themselves when
i the storm breaks over and around
, them.
On August 4th President Wilson
issued a proclamation declaring
that the United States will observe
strict neutrality.
The United States, due to her
isolated position in the western
world, seems to be the only great
world power that need not become
embroiled in the European confla-
grafton.
The remote cause of the presen,
outbreak is to be found in the
century-old enmity and Jealousy
between the Slavic and Teutonie
branches of the Aryan race, the
former represented by the Servian.
and Russia and the latter by tn.
Austrian and German nations
The direct cause is the desire o
Austria to acquire the territory o
the Servians. The pretext 10
starting the present war was th'
assassination at Serajevo, Bosnia
on June 28, of the Austrian crow
prince, Francis Ferdinand, an,
the refusal of Servia to humiliat
herself by submitting to Austria
demand to be permitted to join il
the investigation into the secre
conspiracy that resulted in tn
murder. Furthermore the Serv
ians have been much embittere
because Of the annexation by Aus
tria few years ago of the Servia
provinces of Bosnia and Herzgovi
MIA, provinces which Servia ha
claimed as rightfully hers.
Having fallen out with her sma
but warlike neighbor, Austria pre-
ceeded, July 29, to crush Servia
24o, 900 fighting men by hurlin
upon shem part of her ow

Another doctor thinks he's found
how 10 pre-arrange baby's sex; but we
hope and believe he hasn't.
Any kind of baby is a whole lot
better than no baby; but the best baby
of all is the baby who comes into this
world a complete surprise-the baby
you lie awake planning over, not know
ing whether it's girl or a boy, but
dead certain, in either event, that that
it will be the cutest, prettiest infant
that ever was.
Why, a doctor who really knew how
sex could be determined, and told,
would be the eXterminator of the race.
You don't believe it? Then. some
time, casually, ask mother how many
girl babies she would have had, had
she been able TO fix the sex!
No woman who has passed through
the ordeal Of motherhood wants
daughters foredoomed to the same
stress. Even feminism hasn't yet
evened this elemental account
There are some things concerning
which 'twould be folly TO be wise.

NEW HORRORS OF WAR.

The limit Of tn: spectacular in Ca
lamities was reached when aero
plane collided with 4 derigible balloon
flames. crushing the lives out of their
passengers.
Moving pictures of railroad
wrecks, of ocean disasters, of burning
and falling buildings, of volcanoes and
earthquakes have yet one greater
height TO reach. To depict the terrific
spectacle of two airships colliding IN
midair. the crushing of the machines,
the terror of tho passengers. the ap-
palling descent TO earth and the mute
and melancholy mass of wood and
steel and canvas and human bodies
which testifies to the awfulness of the
catastrophe.
And if the ingenuity of the film
maker succeeds in producing this eff
feet he will only reflect in a modified
way what actually happened in con-
nection with the maneuvers of the
Austrian army near Vienna.
An aeroplane was ordered to at
tack a dirigible ballOn and to make the
attack as nearly like war as possible.
Through accident or miscalculation
the orders were carried out TO the let
ter and the sham battle in the air be-
came real so far as the results were
concerned. The aeroplane demonstrate
ed that il could destroy the balloon by
ripping open the gas bag. but not that
it could save itself, for the explosion
of the gas that followed the accidental
contact tore it to pieces.
The suggestion of what the addition
of airships 10 army and navy equip
ment means is frightful, both for those
who go up in the air seeking their
enemies wherever they may be found,
in midair. on the sea or on the land.
and for those who fight from below.
1t means new horrors for war, great
er slaughter. quicker humiliation, but
perhaps more powerful Influence for
