That the British government vas striving
to avert war, the Austrian government
was contemplating the occupation of Ser
bia as a result Of the war that had already

That there was no way in which Serbia

before. and three days before the ulti-
matum. while peace was still supposed to
be a possibility, and while the negotia-

gary will have incurred for the mobiliza-
ton and for conducting the war in conse-
quence of Serbia's original refusal. This
applies also in the event of Serbia's decid-
ing to yield, whether during the mobilixa-
ton or after the beginning OF hostilities.
Thus on July %. Berchtold had assured
the Italian government that "he contem-
plated no territorial conquests, and an oc-
cupation of Serbian territory was there
fore not intended" Yet eight days before
this he said that Serbian territory would
be occupied whether Serbia yielded or not!
All that this means or can mean is that
war had been decided on. Doubtless the
hope was that Serbia could be absorbed
without interference on the part of the
other powers precisely as Bosnia and
Herzegovina had been absorbed six years
before. But whatever the explanation.
the Austrian government is proved by its
own statements to have been bent on war.
AS far as Italy-an ally-is concerned, 1t
is perfectly clear that she was not let into
the secrets shared by the other two MEM
bers of the alliance. The Austrian red
book is a very valuable contribution
though not in the sense intended-to the
literature of the war.

q most extraordinary document. Yet
Serbia met every demand but one, and
that it agreed to submit to arbitration.
Later Austria Hungary said that even

ALLEGES IMPROPER
PROPERTY TRANSFER
Suit Against Former Manager of Smith
& Murray Filed by Receiver
Stoddard

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug Pos
session for the benefit of the Smith &
Murray creditors of property transferred
by Peter Murray to Alexander Leith, the
former manager of the store, and payment
for goods sold to the manager by the bank
rupt local merchant, are sought by Rcceiv-
er Ralph w. Stoddard, who has initiated
an action in equity against Mr. Leith.
Two bills in equity were filed yesterday by
Mr.. Stoddard. The suits involve property
valued at more than $4,000, including
$4,000 worth of goods, which, it is
claimed, were sold to Mr. Leith and for
which no payment was made, 100 shares
of stock of the Taber-Prang art company
and the Murray house on Westminster
street In the case of the house, Mrs.
Minnie S. Leith is made co-defendant with
her husband, for the transfer was made
in her name.
Mr.. Leith has no property that can be
attached, it is claimed in the bill concern
ing the Taber-Prang stock and the unpaid
for goods. Mr.. Stoddard, therefore, asks
that money be raised on life insurance pol
cies held by Mr.. Lcith in ID companies.
1t is requested that the cash surrender
value of the policies be determined and
that they be sold to liquidate the former
store managers Indebtedness to the Muir
ray estate. Restraining orders to prevent
Mr.. Leith from disposing of the policies
and the companies from making any pay
ments on them are also asked. Similar or
ders are asked to prevent Mr.. Lelth from
disposing of the TaberPrang stock and to
keep the company from transferring it. If
| the stock has been sold, the receiver asks
| that the court determine its value and the
| defendant be directed to pay to the recciv-
er the amount fixed
The receiver states incidentally that a
complete examination of the books of Pc
Ter Murray has disclosed the fact that his
debts exceeded his assets by more than
100000 at the time the Westminster
street property was transferred to Mrs
I-cith. This property was mortgaged by
Mrs. Leith to the amount of $1,000. The
Five Cents savings bank loaned thi!
amount to Mrs. Leith. No legal or valiC
