Of Nlkola Pashitch, Servian
Premier-Russia's Part
in Embroglio.

Count Leopold Berchtold, quiet
man, with English manners, sitting at
a desk in the foreign Office in Vienna
such is the unimposing presence OF
the Austro-H Hungarian statesman who
precipitated a situation more serious
to Europe than any that has arisen
since the events that Immediately pre-
ceded the Franco-Prussian war. And
the most extraordinary feature of the
crisis is that it should have arisen d.
rectly out of the assassination, by a
Servian, Of Francis Ferdinand, the
archduke who in his life time was re-
garded as the firebrand of Europe.
Thus the archduke, after death, as ne
was in life, remains the great men
acing factor in the affairs of European
Christendom.
Count Berchtold assumed the port
folio Of foreign affairs at Vienna upon
the retirement of Count Won Aehren-
thai, who put through the act OF an
nexation Of Bosnia-Herzegovina which
set in motion the wild passions that
eliminated in the assassination of the
Austrian heir to the throne.
Russia Back of Servia.
When he took Office as the director
of the foreign Office, Berchtold found a
situation full of portent Servia, In
censed by Austria's absorption of ter

to Turkey and to which, Seryia cons1d-

by the decree of 3 annextion. Behind
the clamor at Belgrade could be heard

of the triple alliance-Germany and
Italy-and opposing him were Russia,
the self-imposed protector Of all the
Slavic nations, including Servia, ana
the two other members of the triple
entente, Great Britain and France.
Broke Up Balkan League.
Then came the Balkan war in 1917,
In which the Bulgarian and Servian
Slavs crushed the power of Turkey in
Europe. The formation Of the Balkan
alliance and the utter defeat of Turkey
were startling events which caught
Berchtold mapping. His next move
was TO break up the Balkan league
by stimulating the land hunger OF
Servia and Greece, with their ally
Montenegro. and turning them against
Bulgaria, which was the predominant
military factor in the war of 1912.
The Graeco-Servian success, though,

Then he tells what actually happened at well known London hotel.
 "On that Thursday afternoon" he says, "when the King and Queen opened the National Institute for the Blind, lady member of the institute endeavored to arrange with the manager of the hotel to give a tea there to some friends, one or two of whom might have lost their sight, She wished to have tea in a pri- vate room, but was told that it could not be served, as the management did not consider it to be in the interests of the hotel that blind people should be led through the hall.
