prospects he set himself about MASTER
ing the minutiae of the government he
was some day to command and there
was no one in Vienna who knew more
about It than he. From the day of the
tragedy at Meyerling he insisted on
regarding himself not as a prince who
would some day he an emperor and

responsibility already lay. He took Il

often 1t was rumored that he was
about to be made regent
His viii never broke and never bent.
He gave signal proof of it in the
matter of his marriage When he was
told that the time had come for him
to marry, he refused to make the usual
tour OF European courts to select
partner from the market. Indeed he
said at first that he had no intention
Of marrying. Candidates were offered
to him. but he rejected them all.
Then he fell in love with the Countess
Sophie Chotek. lady-in- waiting to the
Archduke Frederick. They were Sc
cretly engaged, but one day the coun-
tess dropped a locket containing the
archduke's picture and the secret came
out. All efforts to induce him to give
up his Ineligible sweetheart failed, and
at last it was the kaiser, not the arch
duke, who yielded He exacted a prom
Use from Franz Ferdinand that he would
renounce all rights which his wife
children might have in the house of
Hapsburg. and the archduke took an
oath to this effect, thereby barring
them from the throne. The marriage,
of course, morganatic, and at
first kept secret.
For different reasons Bosnia Serbia
and Russia dreaded such a man, i'm
movable, relentless. and possessed of
a clear grain and great ambitions. 1t
was no time for Franz Ferdinand to
visit Bosnia.
And so he was told. He intended to
visit the annexed provinces, make a
tour and take command of some mill
tary maneuvers. The Serbian minister
a Vienna came to see him and warned
him not to go; that if he went his life
would be in danger. The archduke
replied that he would go nevertheless
Then the minister, with great solem-
nifty. urged him, if he must go. to leave
his wife at home. But the Countess
Sophie Chotek, now become the Duchess
of Hohenburg, heroically said that if
her husband was in danger her place
was beside him. and they went their
way to Seraje

and among the most valorous of it's
soldiers was the man who had brought
the war about.
The news from Serbia throughout the
war has been framentary and scat
tered, and we have seldom heard the
names of her military heroes.
Still, now and then. among the in
coherent and unrelated scraps of news
that have come from Serbia, there has
been something about desperate fight
against odds IN which one officer has
especially distinguished himself; and
each time the name has been that of
Maj Noislar Tankosic. The reason why
he has had so many opportunities to
distinguish himself has been that Aus
tria was especially desirous to capture
commanded Was engaged superhuman
efforts to reach him We're made-and
repulSed
Whether or not Tankosic directed
the plot, it was carried out by Bosni-
ans, and il was the wrongs of their
own country, not of Serbia, that they
desired to avenge. Prinzip, who glored
in his deed, declared at his trial that
il was not a crime but an act of re
bellion. that the Austrians had reduced
the Bosnians TO desperation BY their
tyranny ever since the annexation in
1908, and that peaceful means had
been tried all that time in vain He
declared that he was more a Grim

distressing conditions in their countries
during the nineteenth century, followed

The war had been coming on for six
years before Prirzip precipitated it.
There were two distinct cases in which
it was averted by a hairs breadth:
when Austria annexed Bosnia -Herze-

her warship to Agadir in 1911. The
congress of Berlin was held IN 1878.

the end of the Russo Turkish war the
powers got together to prevent Russia

China They performed their work in
both cases to their own great satisfac-
tion and esta blshed peace on their
own terms. The outcome in one case
was the defeat of Russia in Manchuria
inside of ten years, and the result in
the other is the war of the eleven ma

Slavic empire, ruled by him. He was
cold to Germany as well as to Russia,

the Slavs the main fabric, and the

He was a man of iron will and per-

the old kaiser to his face, especially
when that ruler showed any signs of
yielding to the reformers or progress

Franz Josef contemplated some conces-

Ferdinand told him that the crown

A WAR FUNERAL IN GERMANY
(From the New Republic)

(From the New Republic
 At last it was over. We left the church, and on the small village commons outside we gathered on the muddy ground around the granit monument with the brazen eagles tcp In the gfanit, on copper plate, were the names of those men in the village killed in the Franco-Prussan war. Now one new plate had been added below. And I thought of many other names that would be placed there one by one, not only in this present war, but perhaps in others later For the children of the village, future warriors here. With their teacher leading them solemny facing the monument they sang in a tone that like hymn of praise to the fatherand
 Then from the group opposite, the thin old man with the white mustache, who had fought in 1870, forward and spoke to the people of war. One by one all men took off their hats and stood with bare heads in the winters wind, while the stout old in black the boys mother, hung of those iron wreath upon the base of the monument. After her, with another wreath girl who looked as if fainting was half carried forward She, too, offered up her wreath and then borne away through the crowd.
 And little by little the others moved off, until on the village commons was left only this granit monument, with the brazen eagle the top glar- ing down voraciously upon the wreaths and the copper plate like grim idol of long ago.

SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE

Of course we are all interested more or less in the Governors yearly report about Alaska. Not that it ever amounts to very much in many re- spects but because it tells about country This year. it was sent ahead of the usual time, but It was marked, For release after January 10
 It is customary for the newspapers to publish the reports, or comment them or something. Now, if this phrase "For release after January 10' means anything, 1t that no newspapers had any right publish the report or even comment on it before that date. Yet some have dsregarded the wish of the Governor and have published some parts of it. Those newspapers may call that scoop but in our opinion it is contemptlble scoop II It is scoop at all and only shows what respect some newspapers have for others wishes. It may be, however, that they obtained permission from the Governor but we can hardly believe that. Be it as it may, there is something wrong somewhere.

The Grove of Horrors little strip of wood land separating twofarms Ypres. The Brit ish trench bordered the western edge of the wood the German ditch along the eastern edge. They were only about 80 yards apart Repeated smelling had reduced the grove to tatters. It drunken crazy wood. Bare tree trunks ending sharply in splintered spikes stuck up out of tangle of slant ing twisted, torn limbs and branches. Half oft dead, the other half maimed and tortured maze of green. I stood beside g Canadian rifleman and peered the parapet. There thousands of dead Germans and British in that nightmare wood he had told me.
