men, massed on the frontier Of Bosnia
during all those months, looked across
the border with fury as they saw the
Servians and M~ontenegrins taking the
Sanjak Of Novi-Pazar and thus cutting
off their road to Saloniki. beating the
Turks. capturing the important towns
of Uskub and Monastir. or helping in

The Siav Population. .
From every point of view this was
hateful to Austria. 1t meant that the
door on the south was shut tight and
guarded by an able bulldog. Much
more. it meant what the Russo-Japan-
csc war OF 1908 meant to the empire
of Japan-it encouraged all the mel
Of the Slav race wherever they are.
They are scattered through every Eu-
ropean country east OF Switzerland
and Italy. The Russians are Slavs; so
are the Poles of Russia. Prussia. and
Austria; the Wends of Prussia, the
Bohemians. Moravians, Slovaks, Ru-
thenians, Slovenes. Servians and
Croatians Of Austria-H Hungary. The
boundaries Of Austria Hungary are
about 24.OOO, 900 %Gncluding 100000
Ruthenians and 100000 Bosnians).
which is one-half the population Of
the empire and five times as many
as all the Slavs in Servia.
This is the real crime of Servia!
This is why the avalanche hung above
the heads Of that little people only to
reverse it's course and take in most Of
Europe.
The wonder Is not that Austria
struck. but that the nation waited 50
long. Last year it was clear in various
parts of Austria-Hungary that the call
ing out and maintenance of a large
force north and west of Servia was 4
terrible burden for the country. 1t
cost more than a hundred million extra
dollars in cash; it stopped great indus
tries; it checked building. All those
! sacrifices were made without getting a
single square mile Of territory out of
the breakup Of the Turkish power in
the Balkans.
Austria's Hold Loosened.
On the contrary, the effect of the war
has been to loosen the hold of Austria
on Bosnia and Herzegovina. which
have been tightly clasped ever since
1878.
Those provinces went to Austria as q
reward for not coming in on the Rus
sian flank when the Russians marched
through Bulgaria till they We're in
sight of Constantinople. Much Aus
TRAN money and energy have been pu1
into those two provinces: quantities OF
narrow gauge railroads have been built
mines and lumber districts have bee,
opened up. Bosnia is decidedly til,
most prosperous part Of all the Bal
kans, and it seemed to the Austrians
quite natural in 1908 to make Il forma
statement of the undoubted fact tina
they considered Bosnia and HerZego

pire. To their minds the only possibl;

HINTS At DOLLAR MARK
ON j. S. PEACE EFFORTS
London Paper Thinks Desire to Sell
Cotton Will Not Lead America
Into "Trap."

LONDON, October 23.-"Evidently an
impression exists in the United States,
says the Morning Post in an editorial
today, that there has been criticism In
the British press of President Wilson's
position regarding peace. This impress
sion was fostered by undue Importance
attached to certain American newspa-
per utterances.
During the civil war our position to-
ward the United States was the same
as the United States holds to US today.
We desired to see the differences of the
north and south composed for ethical
as we'll as material reasons. Then, as
now, cotton was the cause of our aux
iety. We wanted cotton and could not
obtain it. Today the United States
has cotton, but cannot sell it.
"All this, perhaps, explains the move
ment in the United States in favor of
mediation-a movement which is no
doubt encoura ged by our enemies. But
the Vaccinations of our enemies and
the schemes of others who would turn
the altar into a huckster stall are we'll
understood by President Wilson, we are
told, and there is no fear that the Pres
ident will walk into the trap.
"President Wilson has shown himself
singularly well balanced. restra' NED
and judicious. He has been coura geous
enough to do an unpopular thing he
cause he believed it right, as his de-
mand for the repeal of the Panama
tolls law showed. He dared challenge
public opinion and displayed patience
and wisdom in the settlement OF the
Mexican problem, and we feel certain
that President Wilson will do nothing
that is not prompted by the highest
sense of justice"

peared in several West Indian ports
for coal, after preying in various south
ern seas on British commerce. An Off
cial statement given out in Berlin Oc-
tober said she had sunk seven Brit
ish steamers in the Atlantic.
The Karlsruhe is comparatively new
ship, having gone into commission
early in 1913. She is very fast, having
a speed of twenty-seven knots, which
has enabled her thus far successfully
to elude the persistent British pursuit.
Her main armament consists of twelve
41-inch guns, and she carries a crew
of 1913 men.

Cruisers Eventful Career.

The cruiser Karlsruhe, a ship of a
trifle less than 5000 tons, has had in
this war a career as eventful in the
Atlantic as that of her smaller sister
ship, the ETnden. in the Indian ocean.
The Karlsruhe first came into notice
at the outbreak of the war. when she
appeared in the vicinity of Sandy Hook
apparently in wait for British mer-
chantmen leaving New York. For a
few days the British shipping Rugged
their piers. and then came news that
the Karlsruhe had been driven away by
the approach of several British cruisers
August 9 the Karlsruhe appeared in
the harbor of San Juan, Porto Rico,
where she coaled, and then again took
to the seas. Soon after it was learned
that the Karlsruhe had been in a sem
sationaf running fight at sea with the
British cruisers Suffolk and Bristol.
1t appears that the British cruisers
came Unexpectedly upon the Karlsruhe
