One Year Ago To-Day

n NE year ago to-day Austria Hungary de-
~ clared war against Serbia. and the strug
gle in Europe was begun. Vienna laid the
match to the magazine. and the powder train
carried the contiagration to the chancelleries
and war Offices OF all the great powers.
One wonders if the ruling spirits in the
Austrian capital foresaw the result of their
action-if they were determined to bring on
a general conflict, or were merely reckless
and Indifferent TO that consequence. The
answer cannot be written now with any def
niteness; score OF years-perhaps more
must pass before the truth will be known
What has been established is that Aus

no talk OF intercesson whether it came from
Paris, London or Petroerad or from the third
member OF the triple alliance at Rome She
was determined 10 punish Serbia at any and
every cost. She knows now what that cost
was fated TO be.
