ONE YEAR
OF WAR.

One year ago yesterday, following
the assassination of the Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, heir to the throne
of Austria-Hungary, and his wife,
the Duchess of Hohenberg, on June
18th by a Servian student, Austria
sent forty-eight hour ultimatum to
Servia, demanding that Servia use
every means in its power to punish
the assassins and to stop all further
anti-Austrian propaganda.
This, in all intents and purposes,
was the start of the great war that
has engulfed Europe, for Austria,
also insisting that she be represented
in the Servian investigation had in
her ultimatum made demands that
Servia could not and would not meet
To have complied with all the Aus
TRAN demands would have virtually
made Servia subservient to the
Hapsburgs and her nationality would
have virtually ceased. The double
assassination was committed in Bos-
MIA, Austrian territory, and by an
Austrian subject; yet Francis Joseph
contended that 5he plot was formed
in Servia and that country must
arrest all suspects and bring them to
trial and Austrian officials be allow
ed to enter the country and partici-
pate in the trial and punishment OF
such as might be convicted. Apart
from this humiliation it was demand
ed of the smaller country that she
should make official announcement III
the newspapers of her capital her
to live in peace with Aus
tria and resort to every means to
nip in the bud all plots against the
dual kingdom
A number Of other demands, some
of the most humiliating nature, were
also made. Servia was willing to
make suitable replies to all save those
quoted above.

ments; that it put Germany in the
position of contending, even while ad-
hitting the validity of the principles
insisted upon by the United States,
that Great Britain's violations of
those rights exempted Germany from
an observance of them; that the
United States cannot discuss the po-
licy of Great Britain with Germany,
for the reason. that England's con-
duct is irrelevant to any discussion
with the Imperial German Govern
ment of what this government regards
as grave and unjustifiable violations
of the rights of American citizens by
German naval commander; that
.'the rights of neutrals in time
of war are based upon principle, not
upon expediency and the principles
are immutable. 1t is the duty and OBJ
legation of belligerents to find way
to adapt the new circumstances 10
them"
1t is apparent to people of every
shade of opinion throughout the
United States that President Wilson
has and is handling this country's
relations with Germany in a master
ly manner. Heretofore he has used
the most courteous language in MS
representations to the Imperial Gov
eminent of Germany, which, how
ever seem to have been as snowflakeS
against her sword scabbardl. The
situation has at times been exasperat-
ing, and it looked as though there
was a. disposition upon the part OF
the Kaiser to treat America as he
did Belgium when that small Du:
brave nation protested against vio-
lation of their rights. The American
eagle is 10th to show its claws, but It
should be apparent to every patriotic
citizen that the time has come when
our country should take stand.
The United States, as Il nation, is
slow to anger. 1t has shown a calm
spirit throughout it's entire history.
Every effort was made in i176 to OBJ
tain her rights without resorting to
the sword, but an erratic English king
and feeble ministry forced the colo J
nists to fight for what they saw they
could not obtain otherwise. Every eff
fort was made in 1912 to avoid the t
second war for independence, and
years later, when Mexico, as unrea-
conable ard as fractions as she is now,
and when the United States was still !,
extending the olive branch. forced

COLUMBIA
AWAKE AT LAST.

Repetition by German naval com
manders of acts in conCravention OF
American rights will be regarded by
the United States as deliberately un.
friendly"
This is the substance Of the con-
GLIDING and all-important paragraph
of President Wilson's latest note tc
Germany.
The communication is received as
the strongest and most emphatic pro-
nouncement that has come from the
Washington Government since the be-
ginning of its correspondence with
the belligerents of Europe.
More nearly an ultimatum than
any communication heretofore sent
to Germany in reference to the sink
ing of the Lusitania, the note serves
plain warning on Germany that the
Government of the United States will
continue to contend for the principle
of the freedom of the seas, from
whatever quarter violated without
compromise and at any cost.
The note states clearly to Germany
that her last reply to the demands OF
the United States was "very unsatls-
factory" and failed to meet the real
differences between the two govern

AVERSE TO
"PLUNkERS"

By resolution adopted by the CITY
voters at the primary on August 2
| must cast their ballots for the full
complement of vacancies to be filled
under each head. Otherwise the iud-
ges of election will be directed not to
count ballots which do not comply
with the ruling.
In other words, as there are five
places to be filled in the House OF
Delegates, the voter must Indicate
his preference for five of the nine
candidates; for the State Senate, two
of the four candidates, and for the
Administrative Board, two of the
three candidates. This eliminates the
so-called "single-shot" idea, which is
considered unfair, inasmuch as it per-
mits a clique of voters to single on:
one or more candidates for their bail
lot and give them an advantage over
their opponents.
Casting Of "plunkers" has been the
practice of certain suffragans in Alex
andria for many years. At general
elections some men openly state that
they have no interest in the ticket al
large and intend to scratch every
name upon the slip except one or pos
sibly two candidates. Such voters
have not at all times antipathy for
those who offer themselves as can
didates, but they act in a spirit OF
contrariness. The practice, however.
is often the outcome Of sinister mo-
tives and with the intention of giving
one candidate an advantage over an
other.
The Richmond committees action
will probably be affirmed by many
voters throughout the state.
