W. ]. Bryan Sends
Unique Gift to Georgia

William Jennings Bryan, of Lincoln,
Neb, former secretary of state in Presi-
dent Wilson's cabinet, has sent a rather
unique gift to the state of Georgia,
which strikingly proclaims the peace
views of Mr.. Bryan.
The gift is a paperweight in the shape
Of a pillow. 1t is handsomely nickel
plated and bears several inscriptions.
On the base appears: ITO the State of
Georgia from William Jennings Bryan"
On the blade of the pillow is this: They
shall beat their swords into plowshares
Isaiah ga" The front side of the
beam of the pillow is inscribed: Nothing
is final between friends" And on the re-
verse side: Diplomacy is the art of
keeping cool"
The gift was mailed from Washington
and was addressed to Governor Harris.
1t is presumed Mr.. Bryan sent one to
every state in the union.

Friedrich Adler, now in a Vienna pris-
on awaiting trial for an historic crime,
must be looked upon as an executioner,
not an assassin.
The Austrian governments declaration
that Adler is insane" is a transparent
device intended to hush up a perilous
inquiry.
The shot that killed Premier Stuergkh
was fred to free the Austrian people
from the servitude of Scoundrels who
rule them.
Friedrich Adler is neither an anarch-
list nor pariah. He is one of the ablest
and most distinguished young men in
Austria, a son of the celebrated leader
of the social democratic party.
The man he killed was a typical Aus
trian buTeaucrat, possessed of two ideas;
to stick to office, and to block all prog
ress.
Fritz" Adler, universally esteemed, a
keen savant, wealthy, generous. was tho
editor of the organ for the masses, the
Struggle.
Count Stuergkh was nonentity pledg-
ed to suppression of public opinion and
oppression of the people.
Adler, already a leader of the work.
ers, was strongly opposed to war; the
premier, weak and insignificant, was one
of the four wire pullers who drew up
the ultimatum to Serbia.
Adler acted to avenge Austria's treat
ment of Bohemians, Moravians and Sill
esians; Stuergkh steadfastly resisted all
attempts to restore constitutional gov
eminent in Austria, for fear of the Bo-
hemian people.
Adler's motto reads: Never induce
others to make an unnecessary sacrifice.
When a sacrifice is demanded do not
oh
When the time came he found his
victim in a restaurant.
This man is a danger, and must be
set aside" said Adler-and fired
1t was a shot of expiation-the first
political assassination of the war. II is
also the first political murder of an &C
credited socialist in any parliamentary
country.
Force from above had been met by
force from below
Believers in constitutional govern
ment accept this "crime" as inevitable;
remember that William Tell is still ven
Grated.
Very few people know the true state
of affairs in Austria When the dual
empire declared war the Austrian par
lament was not in session. Two Aus
TRANS out of three believed that declara-
ton to be move by the German party.
Just as they believed the murder of the
archduke to be due to his keen friend
ship with the non-German peoples of
the empire.
Eighteen million non-German "Au-
strians," completely out OF sympathy
with the war, were forced to fight. Bo-
hemians, Serbs, Croats, Italians and Ru-
manians, all struggling for national free
dom felt no animosity toward the allies.
But the prime minister, Count Stuer-
gkh, supported by the aristocracy and
military clique, steadfastly refused to
summon parliament.
A dozen war-ridden, subject little ma
tions had no means to ventilate their
wrongs and bitter grievances
No attempt could be made to bring
Count Stuergkh to account for evils of
which he was nominally responsible so

RESULTS OF DELAY.
The two-day delay while a uniform

some diplOmatists. constitute in itself
a hint 10 the belligerents OF the weight

lay may have had the effect of pre-
venting a hasty or premature EXPIRES

been no suggestion. however. that either
OF these considerations were factors in
delaying transmission OF the communica

The unanimous declaration of the Rus

aroused great interest here. particularly
In view OF the many rumors during the
past few months limiting at a possible
separate peace for Russia The Russian
empire has been regarded in some quar-

revolution has occurred against the Ger

reaucracy. and the action of the coun-
ell and the Duma recently in acting to-
sether for the first time in history is
taken as an indication OF the great
strengthening OF the anti-German party.
