HACKE'S EVENING ADDRESS
ON WARNING NATIONS
SERVIA

DIN Ia
The Nation of Farmers and Stockmen
The great war that has drawn into
its mighty conflict so many of the
nations of the world, holds a place
in our thought, not simply because
it is war, but because it affects much
in which we are vitality interested.
It affects the financial interests of
our nation. It strikes even closer
home than this, for we have citi-
ems who are connected with all the
nations involved. We have our
sympathies in thought, even though
we may keep neutral in action.
The purpose of this course of
evening addresses is to study these
nations one by in order that we
may the better know the people who
are engaged in this great struggle.
For the vital interest is in the people
rather than the property interests
involved. If we can increase our
knowledge of these nations and the
principles and institutions for which
they stand, perhaps u sympathies
will be broadened and more reason
ably directed.
l think, this night, as God looks
down on that great conflict that the
shaft that pierces the Father-heart
is not that cities are destroyed, ca
thedrals RACED, commerce interrupted,
but rather that men have not learned
that they are brothers and to live to-
gether and settle their differences in
the spirit of brotherly love.
Precipitation of the Conflict
The immediate events that precipi-

tated the war will, probably be re-
corded by the historian as the at
tacks of the assassins of June 18th
and July End, 1914. The latter was
unsuccessful, but out of it came some
sworn statements duplicating others.
On June 28th, "the Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, heir to the throne
of Austria Hungary, and his NOR
ganatic wife, the Duchess of Hohen-
berg, were assassinated in Serajevo,
Bosnia, by a Serb student"
Austria claims that the plot for
this crime. was Matched in Belgrade
and planned by Servian officials as
a part of a general line Of persecu-
ton of the past several years; and
further that this attitude was con-
trary to the expressed declaration of
"good neighborly" intentions made by
the Servian government to the Aus
tria-Hungarian government March
31st, 1909. On July %, 1914, Aus
tria-Hunagry submitted to Servia a
series of demands in the nature of a
demarche with a time limit of 48
hours.
Servia claims that the assassins of
the Archduke were both Austrian
subjects-Bosniaks; that one of them
had been in Servia and that the Ser
Wan authorities, considering him
suspect and dangerous, had desired
to expel him, but on applying to the
Austrian authorities found that the
latter protected him, and said that
he was an innocent and harmless in
dividual."
In answer to Austria's demands
Servia asked for an extension of time
and it was refused. On July 25th,
before the expiration of the 48 hours,
Servia conceded most of the Aus
trian demands, save that which
seemed to threaten the integrity of
the nation.

separate nation. They went into the
war with the assurance that Russia
would be their friend. They have the
reputation of being good soldiers and
we'll generated. They must depend
largely upon their allies for equip
ment.
The only thing they can see is to
win with hopes for the fulfillment Of
the "Great Servia" dream, or to lose
and submit to being a province gov

his popularity as a young man be-
cause Of his socialistic views. He
earned the title of "Red Prince"
When on June II, 1903, the unpopu-
lar King Alexander, who represented
the Obrenovich line, and his more
popular Queen Draga, were assassi-
mated, the throne was offered to
Peter, who represents the Karageorge
line. He accepted it. His title to
the throne under such conditions was
not quite as acceptable to the world
as it would have been a century
earlier. The nations of Europe were
slow to recognize him and it was
three years before he was every
where recognized.
Evidently Kink Peters reign is
satisfactory to the majority Of his
people. He married Princess Zorka,
daughter of the Prince of Montene-
gro, in 1883, but she died seven years
later. There are three children, two
sons and a daughter.
On March 81, 1909, the crown
Prince George, who had been the
most out-spoken leader in the anti
Austrian party, was induced to re-
sign his right of succession to the
throne, and his brother, Alexander.

Monarchy harboured no unfriendly

During the present reign the "Great
Servia" idea, through the union OF
Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzego-
vina with old Servia, has been promi-
nent. From the lack of support of
other European powers, Servia was
practically forced to acquiesce in the
annexation of Bosnia and Herzego-
VIVA to Austria-H Hungary in 1909.
But three years later she "felt
strong enough to assert herself, and
joined the Balkan League, entering
upon the first Balkan war. In this
war 'Servia fought Tin common with
the other Balkan states), with a
brilliance and ability that surprised
Europe and at Monastir and Durazze
won splendid victories. Turkey was
defeated, and negotiations for peace
were under way, when differences
arose between Bulgaria and Servia
which led to. the second Balkan war
The Balkans finally secured peace by

No ONE IN GERMANY
May PAY DEBT TO AN
ENEMY 0: GERMANY
(Associated Press Correspondence

(Associated Press Correspondence)
Berlin, July 1.-The law against
paying debts to persons in the coun-
tries with which Germany is at war
not only applies to Germans but also
TO such foreigners as may be resident
In Germany, according to the most
recent court ruling.
A Chilean in Berlin, member of a
firm that before the war did a large
European business. recently was ar
raigned and fined s25. because he had
attempted to arrange, by correspon-
dence. to settle a debt of $4,000 which
his concern owed to England He
made no attempt to send the money
from here, but sought to have it de-
spatched to England from Chile.
He argued in his defense that the
German law did not apply to foreign
ers who might owe money in foreign
countries, and that Germany had no
right to jurisdiction over countries of
which she was not one. Though the
prosecuting attorney asked for a fine
of but S., the court imposed the larger
sum because the Chilean sought to
swell the possessions of the enemy
and because the debt he tried to set
tie was so large.

they thought best. In most cases this right
was of long standing. In all of these
countries the municipal authorities have
very generally made use of this right
In Bulgaria a special law was passed
early in August authorizing local au-
thorities, with the participation of finan-
cial authorities, TO fix prices, both whole
sale and retail. In Egypt a commission
was appointed by the central government,
with power to fix maximum prices. In
Serbia the minister of the interior was
charged with the duty of fixing maxi
mum prices.
Some governments, while. allowing the
local authorities to fix prices on most
things, issued DEGREES applicable TO taelr
whole territory concerning a FEW hlGhlS
important articles. Thus. Austria ana
Germany both prescribed the proportion
of wheat or rye flour that should be Csei
in making bread. Later both Austria
and Germany fixed the wholesale price
of cereals, and brought the distribution
and consumption of flour and bread UNI
der strict control. Turkey fixed prices
for petroleum, sugar and -four. IN ltalT

nent monopolies, SO that their prices

Denmark, Holland and Switzerland limit
ed themselves to controlling the most i'm

The Importance and full significance
in the increases i'll prices which occurre /
would not be fairly presented without
reference to the fact that the increased
cost of living, and especially the in~reasa
in food prices, has for several years been
a question of serious concern in practl-
cally all of the European countries. Thc
upward movement in prices prior TO the
war had in fact been world wide. An il
curry of the British Board of Trade In
1912 showed increases in food prices In
various countries over prices in 1902
ranging from 10 per cent in Great Brit
ain and France to 16 per cent. in Aus
tra!ia TO 80 per cent. in Germany, to -
per cent. in Belgium and 81 per cent in
Austria. In Canada and in TIE Unitel
States the increase shown was even
greater than the highest of these figures
Thus. it will be seen that the increase
prices directly due to the war, coming as
the elimination of a long period of In
creases, are much more serious to the
masses of the population than the m re-
figures indicate. 1t is. obvious, too that

suddenly dived toward the river, saws
the New York World
Gaines worked the levers, but the
prov and keel of the hydro aeroplane
struck a floating log. Gaines was
caught in the wrecked steering wheel
and Morse was hurled into the river.
He vanished beneath the surface
and was not seen again for several
seconds. In that time he was SWIM
ming under the water to get away
from what he sub-consciously knew
must be a mass of broken wires and
smashed wood. Gaines disentagled
himself and climbed UP on the planes
Of the machine. A hundred yards
away he saw a boat being rowed
swiftly toward him. A man in the
bow was shouting hoarsely:
Hold on. Hold on. We're coming"
"Never mind me-" yelled back
Gaines. Find Morsey. He must be
under the machine"
Then into sight 20 feet away bobbed
the head of Mr.. Morse. Parting his
young mustache, he exclaimed, some
what testify:
I'm all right. but 1 know durn well
I've ruined a $500 watch"
The two young men were lifted into
the rowboat, while they said things
about a COMPOUNDED, goshdinged hy-
dro -aeroplane that never was any
good.
Were the watching men and women
on shore frightened? You bet they
were! They had it all figured out
that Morse and Gaines were punctur-
