But the ServiAn victories N Mace

in the way Of Austria's march to the

Austria's continued hold on the north

action in d~epriving the nation Of an

Austria hungary with increased diff
ficulties in dealing with the Slav
tribes, particularly the ServianB, now
in her dominions, and convinced that
the march to the southwark must be
given up altogether unless Servia
could be put out of the way.
To this were added minor irrita-

in Macedonia. The Servians wanted
to add the railroads in the territory

BALKAN WAR KEPT THE DUAL
MONARCHY FROM AEGEAN SEA

Vienna-While the immediate u
of Austria-Hungary's attack on Ser
via is the demand for reparation for
the murder of the Archduke Francis
Ferdinand and his wife, the Duchess
Of Hohenberg, the ultimate causes
are the movement Of the Hapsburg
Empire toward the south and the
desperate efforts of the entire Serb
race to regain complete national ex-
istence.
Ever since the repulse Of the Turk
ish Army from Vienna in 1888 the
Austrians have steadily fought their
way southwark, expecting ultimately
to make their way to the Aegean over
the ruins of the Turkish Empire.
Austria, like Russia, was not unWlll-
ing to see small buffer states set up
to occupy the middle ground during
the intervals of rest in her forward
movement, and so most of the Balkan
States Of today came into being.
OF the Servian race, which in the
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries
ruled a vast empire, extending over
the western half of the Balkan PENN
suIa and the eastern coast OF the
Adriatic, practically all had come
under Turkish domination in the six
teenth century. The Serbs OF the
hinterland of Istria and Dalmatia
were soon taken from Turkey by Aus
tria, and Montenegro won it's indie
pendence. This left the Serbs of
Bosnia, the Herzegovina, and Servia
proper, as we'll as of the Sanjak OF

RIVER POLLUTION DENIED.
Trenton Mayor Says City Dumps No
Garbage in Delaware.

Mayor Donnel,y's attention was at
tracted to an article in which it was
reported that Burlington city officials
desired to call the attention Of Mr..
Nixon Miller, the Federal engineer,
who is investigating the pollution Of
the Delaware, to the fact that Tren-
ton was emptying its crude sewage
into the stream. The Mayor, who is
taking a leading part in a campaign
to compel Philipsburg to clean out the
river, said that Trenton was doing
all in it power to dispose of its sew
age in another way than by emptying
it into the river. Trenton, the Mayor
continued, had authorized a bond is
sue of 100000 for a sewage disposal
plant, and land for it had already
been purchased.
Under direction of the War Depart
ment, said the Mayor, Trenton had
long since ceased to dump garbage
and refuse into the river. He added
that the city had started to clean
Assanping Creek, flowing into the Del
aware, and that the city had started
to clean Assanping Creek, flowing In
to the Delaware, and that pollution of
the creek had been stopped.

The action of Louis Lavine, saloon

who has just been named by Governor

signed the Craftsmanship of the Repuh-

Maryland, after nearly nine years of
continuous service.
While we have had occasion time
and again to disagree with Mr.. Hanna
as to men and measures, and while we
have not hesitated to tell him frankly
that the course of recent events made
his longer continuance as the Repuh
lican Chairman unadvisable, we have
never abated our friendship for Mr..
Hanna personally and our sincere re-
spect for him as a man and party
associate. A Christian gentleman, a
clean, high principled official, in all
our years of close association with Mr..
Hanna, we have never known him to
do an unbecoming deed or speak an
unbecoming word. He is entitled to
his own self-respect and the respect of
his fellow-men as the type of citizen
who can actively interest himself in
political affairs without staining his
hands or soiling his soul.
1t is a rule of our life to strive to be
Just to even those we feel called upon
