ASSASSINATION
Of Year Ago Today Brought
On World War

Through the bewildering maze of
occurrences in Europe during the past
year, with its countless charges and
denials, it's endless political intrigue,
its alibis and shifting of responsible
tiles, and its tangle of act and fiction
that defies the analyst, one fact clear
ly stands out-that it was the assassi-
nation of Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand and his morganatic wife, the
Duchess of Hohenberg, on June 2S,
1914, that crystallized the racial and
political animosities of Europe into
the great war.
While the real political significance
of the murder may never be known,
the act resulted in the most terrible
war, the greatest sacrifice in lives and
treasures, that the world has known.
The major portion Of the world Is en-.
quilted in strife, the full extent of
which has not yet been reached.
1t is the Servian claim that it had
been known in political and diplomat.
ic circles months before the assassi.
nation that plot had been uncovered
to kill the archduke. The Servians,
although the murder was attributed
to them as political act, claim that
Francis Ferdinand was recognized by
all Slavs, including the Serbs, to be
their friend and champion.
Nevertheless, the assassination
was the direct cause Of the Austro-
Hungarian ultimatum to Servia, is
