Bosnia and Herzegovina adopted our
measures and weights. Our postal
ard telegraph service was also ex-
tended over Bosnia and Herzegovina
In 1879. On November 10, 1881, a
law was enacted introducing military
service In Bosnia and Herzegovina
for the benefit OF Anstria-Hungary.
What remained really to Indicate
the sovereign rights OF the Ottoman
Porte? Two prerogatives, to wit:
that on official Turkish holidays the
Green Flag OF the Prophet was
hoisted, together with ours. on public
buildings, and that the name OF the
Sultan was included in the public
prayers.
During the thirty years of her
peaceful possession and quasi
ownership, Austrla-Hungary invested
hundreds Of millions of dollars In
building churches, schools, railroads.
roads, etc, etc, and has transformed
the two provinces into practically
the most f%lourishing countries in the
Balkans, although they we're ruined
and desolate in every respect, when

The formal annexation In 1908
ended the sultan's nominal SOW
ereignty and put a term to an
anomalous situation which had lasted
thirty years, Austria-H Hungary bearing
all the responsibilities but not the
formal title Of the owner. Why was
the annexation proclaimed and why
did we not continue the former way
of ruler Because, in 1908, the Young
Turks initiated a parliamentary
regime in Turkey and 1t would have
created a very awkward situation
and no end of conflicts, had Turkey,
for instance, called upon the Mos,
lens In Bosnia and herzegovina to
send delegates to the Parliament In
Constantinople. The annexation of

harm was done to anybody of the
population which, far from obiecting

asking for a full incorporation into
the Dual Monarchy. Russia knew of

On condition that we did not object
TO the opening of the Straits OF
Constantinople to her battleships,
etc. This was decided at a con-
ference of the respective represent
,atives In the Castle Of Buchlau,
Moravia. IL Is true this latter
privilege was later objected to by
both France and England, but Rus
sia's subsequent antagonism against
A~ustria.Hungary on this account,
which finally led to the formation
of the Balkan league, was unjustiied.
AS TO Turkey, which was the chiefly
interested party, we made a regular
bargain with her, paying her an In
demnity or ffty-four million crowns
tor the abandonment by the Sultan
OF q nudum JUS sovereignty Just as
you did In the case Of the Philippines.
We also gave up u rights to the
Sandiak OF Noyi Bazaar. which we
had acquired through the Berlin
Convention, in 1878. The signatory
