Substitute For Gasoline,
Discovery Recently Made May
Be OF Great Benefit.

A substitute for gasoline that can be
manufactured for u cents gallon and
that will run motorrar faster than gas
oline is being made in Indianapolis =.
E. Moskovics, commercial manager Of
the Nordyke & Marmon Company, OF
indianapolis, has seen the substitute
made and has observed tests of it. Some
of the biggest men in the motorcar bus
mess in this country are interested ard
predict that the new fuel will revolution
ize not only the motorcar business, but
all manufacturing business.
The new fluid is called "aqnaline'. 1t
was discovered by John Andrus. Portu-
guese, of McKeesport, Pa, who recently
was paid $50. 900 by the Government for
a discovery he made in toug hening armor
plate. Andrus has discovered way OF
breaking down water without the use OF
much heat and the new fluid consists
mostly of water, little naphthalene and
two secret ingredients that can be bong ut
at any drug store. These ingredien,s
are mixed in still to which heat is APP
piled and the result is fluid that is su-
perior to gasoline.
At tests made at McKeesport and In
dianapolis, at which many leading motor
car manufacturers were present, Mar
mon car was furnished for the tesS. Five
gallons of the fluid was put in the tank
l6 miles was made on one gallon. about
four mi es more than the same amount
of gasoline would drive the car. 1t is
said that after run of $50 miles the en-
CINE was as "clean as a hounds tooth
not speck of carbon on it," The fluid
looks like water and smells exactly like
camphor balls.

tier Of Bosnia.

While the immediate cause Of Aus
tria-Hungary's attack on Servia is the
demand for reparation for the murder
OF the Archduke Francis Ferdinand
and his wife, the duchess OF Hohen-
berg, the ultimate causes are the
movement OF the Hapsburg empire
toward the south and the desperate
efforts OF the entire Serb race to re-
gain complete national existence
Ever since the repulse Of the Turk
ish army from Vienna in 1853 the Aus
southwark, expecting ultimately to
make their way to the Aegean over
the ruins OF the Turkish empire Aus
trta, like Russia, was not unwilling to
see small buffer states set up to oc-
cupy the middle ground during the in
tervals OF rest in her forward move
ment, and SO most of the Balkan
states OF today came into being
or the Servian race, which in the
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries
ruled vast empire. extending over
the western half OF the Balkan peniu-
sula and the eastern coast OF the Ad-
riatic, practically all had come under
Turkish domination in the sixteenth
century. The Serbs OF the hinterland
OF 1stria and Dalmatia were soon TAX
en- from Turkey by Austria, and Mon
tenegro won its independence. This
left the Serbs of Bosnia, the Herzego-
vina and Servia proper. as well as Of

which compelled the Servians TO give
up part OF their conquests In Albania
Thus Servia lost her chance to get a
seaport and remains a landlocked
power. her only outlet being through
the friendly Greek ports on the Ae-
gean sea.
But the Servian victories in Mace
donia. and the Greek capture OF Sa-
lonika put an unexpected obstacle in
the way OF Austria's march to the
south No more could the dual mon
archy hope to inherit Salonika and
the land between that port and the
frontier Of Bosnia on the final down
fall OF Turkey: Servia was now
squarely across her path.
So the Balkan wars left the Servi-
ans confident of their military ability
elated by victory. determined on COM
plete national unity. and angered by
Austria's continued hold on the north
ern part OF the nation and by her ac-
ton in depriving the nation OF an out
let to the sea. These wars left Austria
Hungary with increased difficulties in
dealing with the Slav tribes. particu
larly the Servians. now in her domin-
ions. and convinced that the march to
the southward must be given up alto
gether unless Servia could be put out
OF the way.
To this were added minor irrita-
tons, such as the railroad question In
Macedonia The Servians wanted to
@ do in ha
quered from Turkey to the state sys-
tenn, but the stockholders most Of
whom were Austrians or Hungarians
objected. Moreover, there was con-
stant friction In Bosnia, and the party
In Servia which regretted the break
up Of the Balkan league was inclined
to attribute the discord between Bull
garia and her former allies to the op-
erations of Austrian diplomacy.
Thirty years ago Servia was a cats
paw for Austria in Balkan schemes,
with Russia backing Bulgaria, but now
the Servians can count on Russian
sympathy. for their cause Is indirectly
the cause OF the entire Slavic race in
its double struggle to be free from
German rule and to fight with the Ger
mans for the heritage OF CONSTANT
