Last night the enemy attacked

with no more success. There is no

The supreme clash Of arms denoting the

through northeastern France, has
not been in progress some forty-eight
hours without bringing decisive result.
Both sides claim encouraging. though

The Germans have steadily met assault

some work with the steel in hand to hand

where they forced a passage across the
Meuse, the Germans. half Of whose army

WHY THIS GREAT WAR
FORCES AND FACTORS IN EUROPE
THAT LED UP TO WAR ARE
COMPLEX AND MANIFOLD.
SETTLE LONG Time GRUDGE
Russia's Millions Anxious to Acquire
Land and to Reach the Sea-Ger-
many's Interest Lies in Support
ing Austria-Finai Test.

The forces and factors in Europe
that led to war between Germany and
Russia are complex and manifold.
Underneath all the clashing ambi-
tons of the RomanOff on one side and
the HohenZollern and the Hapsburg on
the other lie the pressure of economic
forces and the conflicting aspirations
of the Slav and the Teuton. The teeID-
ing millions of Russia are earth hum
cry and mad to reach the sea and it's
opportunities for world-expansion 4 he
Slavs there and in central, eastern and
southeastern Europe are impatient to
win their place in the sun and unite in
racial fellowship. The Teutons OF
Germany and Austria block their way
and have their own ambitions to real-
ize and crafty. Conflict between the
two races, European governments and
economic conditions being what they
are, was irrepressible and inevitable
and has been coming to a head for gem
erations and centuries.
Other Causes.
So much for the remote cause. Now
for the immediate occasions.
Germanic Austria since 1866 has been
looking under the leadership of Kaiser
Franz and the late Archduke Ferdi-
nand, both of the Hapsburg dynasty, to
acquire the Slav countries OF the Bal
kans and make it's way to the lower
Adriatic and the Aegean. But Bul-
garia. Montenegro and Servia, the
Slav nationalities, have been growing
in power and prestige. as have also
Greece and Roumaiia which are not
Slav peoples. Austria has been try
ing to break them down, Russia to
protect them and build them UP. All
have been selfish and INSCRIPTIONS In
their conscious purposes, but each has
been partly the creature of circum-
stances beyond It's control. Austria
has intrigued In the Balkans to disin-
tegrate the Slavs and In 1908 annexed
Bosnia and Herzegovina in violation Of
its promise at Berlin in 1878. Russia
and the southern Slavs have schemed
in Austria Hungary to disrupt the dual
monarchy through revolt by its Slavic
subjects. Russia in 1908 was too weak
to resist the Austro- Hungarian seizure
Of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but now IL
is strong and dares not leave Servia ia.
be crushed by Austria.
Germany's Interest. sly
Germany's interest lies in supporting
TeutOnic Austria as bulwark against
the Slav. Germany six years ago CO.
creed Russia into inaction. Austria's
picked quarrel with Servia over the
assassination of Ferdinand ON June 20
and over pan-Slav agitation within the
empire was the deliberate challenge Of
Germany and Austria to Russia. The
Teuton felt that his best hour for fight
ing the Slav had come. The triple al
lance dared to measure swords with
the threefold agreement-Austria, Ger
many and Italy against Russia, France
and England.
1t is the final and supreme test Of
strength between the two armed
camps of Europe.

INVADE FRANCE NOW.
GERMAN ARMY LANDS AT THREE
POiNTS-STill NO OFFICIAL
RUPTURE REPORTED.
GERMAN AMBASSADOR STAYS
II Is Thought that Germany Is Trying
to Provoke France Into Declaring
War, Placing Them as Aggres-
sor in Following Campaign.

Paris.-According to official tele-
grams the Germans invaded French
territory at three points at least Sun
day, but there still is no official rup'
ture. Baron Won Schoen, the German
ambassador, gives no sign of leaving
his post. He visited the French for,
eign office yesterday afternoon to try
to explain away the violation of Lux
emburg neutrality.
Official circles do not conceal their
surprise at the ambassadors conduct.
Their view Is that Germany is trying
to gain time and to provoke France
into declaring war, so as to make
France appear the aggressor In the
eyes of the world, particularly in the
eyes of Great Britain.
Same at 1870 Attack.
Washington. Developments in the
German campaign against France i'm
press the army general staff here with
the similarity of the German advance
as recorded in Mondays dispatches, to
the move made exactly "A years ago,
at the beginning of the Franco-Prus-
sian war, with the important differ
ence that then it was the great second
army corps Of France which took the
initiative, crossing the border to at
tack the Germans at Saarbrucken, on
ly to receive stunning check.
By singular coincidence it was on
August that the battle of Saarbruck
en- took place. 1t was followed by the
withdrawal of the French army under
Bazaine to Metz, where 1t was shut UP
for many months, only to be obliged In
the end to capitulate to the German
forces.
The fact that the German staff has
chosen again to strike at France is the
very same place where the victorious
campaign of 1870 was inflated has led
the experts here to the conclusion tina,
it is Germany's intention to repeat
closely the strategic movements thai
were crowned eight months later will
the capture of the French capital.

FREIGHT RATES co UP
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITS
SION GRANTS 5 PER CENT IN.
CREASE TO SOME ROADS.
EAST OF MISSISSIPPI RIVER
No Advance Allowed East Of Buffalo
and Pittsburg to Atlantic Seaboard
Two Of Commission Wanted
Increase to Be General.

Washington. = In a divided opinion
Saturday the interstate commerce COM
mission granted some Of the per cent
freight rate increases asked for by the
eastern railroads and denied others.
Increases will apply in the territory
north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers,
and, from a vertical line drawn
through Buffalo and Pittsburg, west
as far as the Mississippi river.
All class rates and many commodity
rates are increased per cent in that
section.
Big Territory Is Excluded.
No advances whatever were permit
ted east from Buffalo and Pittsburg
to the Atlantic seaboard
That excludes from the area from
which the railroads will receive bene.
fits the greatest traffic-producing cen.
tiers of the country.
Commissioners Daniels and Nc
Chord dissented from the majority
opinion. Mr.. Daniels held that 5
per cent increase should have been
general-that the railroads were en-
titled to it to meet the high cost Of
living. Mr.. McChord held that the
reasons which the majority held to
warrant an increase west Of Pitts
bugr applied equally to the territory
east.
No Increase on Coal Rates.
Coal, which alone comprises more
than one-half the total traffic of the
railroads will have no advance.
Neither will coke, brick, tile. clay,
starch, cement, iron ore and plaster.
Neither will there be any increases on
alexandria, rates.
Condemning what Is characterized
as propaganda to influence its de-
cision the commission said:
"There can be no doubt that this
clamor and cutlery have tended to
mislead the public and have seriously
aggravated the present commercial
depression"
The majority, headed by Chairman
Harlan, held as to rates west Of Pitts
burg, that they were the lowest In
the country and warranted an in
crease. While it was held that the
income of the eastern railroads was
smaller than demanded in public in
terest, no showing had been made
warranting a general increase.
The real relief, the commission held
for the New England roads, and those
in Central Freight association terri
tory was financial reorganization up
on a sound basis. It was held that
rather than raising freight rates the
railroads should discontinue costly
free services to shippers, develop ct
ficiency Of personnel and equipment
stop giving free passes and possibly
increase their passenger fares to keel
pace with the high grade service the
public demanded.
The contention of the railroads thai
their revenues under the present scale
of rates are inadequate is sustained
the commission saying that the op
Grating income Of the railroads in OF
fetal classification territory, taken a!
a whole, is smaller than is demanded
in the interest of both the genera
public and the railroads.
