the way. every man who studies these
papers will regret two things; first,
that Germany has not dared to pub
lish her correspondence with Aus
tria, and second, that Austria has
not dared to publish her correspon-
dence with Germany. II the world

evidence, it's judgment on the ques-
ton Of guilt would doubtless be great

have been printed. All of these docu-
ments are before me as j write this
letter. / cannot help wondering
whether they have been circulated in
Germany; / cannot help wishing that
the German people might have the OPP
portunity which my countrymen have
had OF reading these state papers in
their fullness
Was this war forced upon Ger
many? What do the official docu-
ments prove?
Well. we all know that Austria,
away back in 1908. made a seizure
Herzegovina. A thing like that en-
RACES the human spirit; and the
of the two provinces of Bosnia and
brains of some men will not act nor
mataliy under such extreme provoca-
ton. In May, 1914. the Austrian
Crown Prince went into these prov
inces. The people looked upon him
as an invader a usuper, a conquer
or, tyrant, and he was assassinated.
1t was A detestable act. condemned
and abhorred by just men everywhere.
I condemn II, detest 1t. and abhor 1t.
But 1t was the penalty which any
man would pay who would iagrantly
invade a conquered province under
like circumstances There is always
a hot-head ready to murder tyrant,
and a tyrant Is one who makes him.
self conqueror for his own aggran-l
dizement. In the eyes OF those SUBJ
jugated people. the Crown Prince was
tyrant Austria at once assumed to
hold Servis responsible for this muir
der, and spatched an altimatum
containing ten drastic conditions
which were more exacting upon the
dignity of Servia than any demand
that was ever before made 1y one
nation upon another. Yet Servia
yielded to ali except in part as to

servia as defnite part OF the plan
Of Austro-German expansion. Servia
| was required ito accept the coiiabors-
| ton in Servia OF representatives OF
the Austro- Hungarian government In
the suppression Of the subversive rnove-
ment directed against the territorial
integrity of the (Austrafn) monarchy"
Full Of Hidden Meaning.
This brief clause is full OF hidden
ltlc that its acceptance by Servia would
have given Austria the opportunity
to extend its purport so that u would
cover practically any kind of inter-
ference In Servian affairs for the o.
tensible purpose OF suppressing any
'subversive movement" Already
ustria had ravished Servia of two
of her precious jewels. and was laying
her plans now to despoil her OF more.
an undisguished acknowledgment
that the main object of Austria's war
on Servia was to assert control in
Servia over all policies which Aus
tria might regard as having any int-
mical effect upon such territory as
should now belong to Austria or would
hereafter be annexed.
1t would be difficuit to conceive of
anything that would be more fatal
impairment OF the sovereignty OF ser
via than for her to yield to this
harsh demand Yet she replied with
patience and dignity, consenting ito
admit such collaboration as agrees
with the principle OF international
law, with criminal procedure. and
with good neighborly relations"
1t is we'll that we should keep In
mind the avowed object of Germany
and Austria In making this significant
demand upon Servia. In order that
we may be able to avoid the error
of assuming that the Austrian war on
Servia was merely punitive expedi-
ton on account of the assassination
OF the Crown Prince of Austria. When
these minatory conditions were pub
lished, Russia, as one OF the great
powers of Europe, naturally felt that
she had a historical basis to claim.
and she did emphatically claim,
right to voice In determining whether
the sovereignty of the kingdom of
Seryia should be permanently i'm
paired Germany well knew tHat
an insistence upon this condition
would make a general war inevitable;
yet she proclaimed her insistence from
the house-tops, and defied Russia to
interfere.
Again. Article 8 contained the I'M
precedented condition that Austrian
turists should sit in the Servian court
before which the assasins were to
be tried, and even here Servia agreed
to submit in effect. although calling
attention to the extremely reasonable

fact that such participation BY Auss
tria waa contrary to the laws OF Ser
via. II her replies on any part OF
the ultimatum were not satisfactory
to Austria, Servia candidly offered TO
hold furtehr conversations ON the sub
ject. or to refer the matter to The
Hague Court, or to the great powers
Of Europe. In this transaction Servia
showed a disposition towards repara-
ton and towards peace, which the
civilized world has been trying for
many years to inculcate into the for
eisn relations OF all nations. Servia
had Just passed through two wars,
and her strength was exhausted. But
Austria, conscious all the time that
good faith would have enabled her
to reach an agreement. in CONVEX
sation of thirty minutes, was resolved
to make war. and In this resolve the
German Emperor and the military
party In Germany upheld her,
as candidly acknowledged in their
Official declarations.

The German White Book Is very
