 How far must discontent have spread before such an episode were possible in Germany! The women write to the men in the trenches
 about the starvation of themselves and babies. And so the spirit of sul- lenness is ever seizing upon the men in uniform. I have been able to judge of it's effects by many conversations with common soldiers back on fur tough.
 My wife is i'll with hunger. My
 business is gone. My savings have been eaten up. And I have been talk

 year-old dandy. It's the spurs that

 This sort of talk is new in Ger

 friend of mine who, in the beginning
 was fire and flame for war. Nor is this man one of the laboring classes. Although but a private in the ranks, before the war he was grasperous lace manufactured, owning number of the great automatic embroidery ma chimes and selling his 4pie-uct to England, the United States c.d Rus sia ~

1t is learned definitely that the

Austrian Plots In
Balkans Amazing
Dark Intrigues Involving Attempted
Murder Carried ON by Minlons OF
Central Powers.

(By Camille Cianfarra, International
News Service Staff Correspondent
ROME, Aug. "A high officer Of
the Serbian army who has just arriv-
ed here on sick leave, following a bad
attack of malaria fever, told the cor
respondent of the International News
Service that Austrian diplomatic in
trigues and plottings in the Balkans.
especially among the Serbian and
other allied c~ontingents, are respOn-
sible for a series of sinister events
about which the world has heard
nOthing-thanks to rigorous censor
ships.
Among the events chronicled by the
officer, whose name | am not at lib
erty to disclose for obvious reasons,
but whose high standing in the army
and King Peters court are in them
selves a guarantee of reliability and
unquestionable veracity, is that of a
plot against the life of the Crown
Prince of Serbia, who owes his life to
the fact that the man detailed to
kill him missed the mark and was in
his turn shot down by one of the
Princes aides.
The plot against the Crown
Prince" the officer said, was Matched
in Serbia last winter among a num-
Der of officers and soldiers affiliated
with the Tzerna Ruka, a secret So
ciety for the advancement of the po-
litical fortune of its members, who
include a large number of civilian
state employees, besides the military
element with Austrian leanings. The
order to kill the Prince was sent to
the Tzerna Ruka members at Salon
Xxi and one day, several weeks ago.
three revolver shots were fired against
Prince Alexander, while the latter
alighted from his motor car in one of
the quiet streets of the city. But
the shots went wide of their mark
and the Prince escaped absolutely UNI
hurt.
Following his attempt over 100
officers and men were arrested by the
English and French police, suspected
OF being implicated in the plot, and
were Immediately transferred to the
fortress OF Bizerta in French Tunis.
From official information received at
the Serbian Court at Corfu, it is
learned that up to date the Serbian

executed. Among those who were shot
was General Popovitch, who was sup
posed to be the chief i~nstigator of
the attempt.
The investigation to which the at
tempted assassination led has d~isclos-
ed that the Tzerna Ruka was and still
IS an organization literally subsidized
by h Austrian government. During -,
the trial it has also been brought to
light that the Tzerna Ruka exercised
a powerful influence in shaping the
foreign policy of Serbia, especially
during the negotiations with Bulgaria
IN the latter part of 1914; that the or
ganization acquired it's ascendency
over several branches of the govern
ment in 1908. and that no more than
one occasion it's Vaccinations were
