many as a pledge of her neutrality!
From the very start, France made
every effort to preserve the peace OF
Europe. She encouraged all the peace
proposals put forward in any quarter
Jaures, the great French Socialist,
told the simple truth when he said
July 29) II have never shrunk from
bringing on my head the hatred of our
chauyinists by my stubborn and in
cessant efforts to bring Germany and
France closer together, and ! am
therefore now entitled to state that at
the present moment the French gov
eminent desire peace and are laboring
for its maintenance"
Great Britain declared war on Ger
many. Aug 4. after Germany had in.
vaded neutral Belgium. Britain had
given Germany three warnings July
80, 81. Aug. y that British opinion
would not stand for such an outrage
because her own national safety and
her honor as a sworn defender of Bel
gian neutrality were at stake. The
British ultimatum turned upon this
point and nothing else; and Goschen's
conversation with Won Jagow indicates
that If Germany had agreed (Aug Al to
desist from attacking Belgium. Britain
would have refrained from her declara-
ton of war.
The desire to crush Germany COM
mercially had nothing to do with Brit
aims entering the war. II this had
been her aim, she would have put up
tariff wall. which would have been
cheaper method of selfprotection
than war.
The Entente of Britain with France
5000 and Russia $500 was not
formed to crowd Germany out of the
sun 1t was formed to remove causes
of friction between Britain and the
other powers, so as TO make it impos-
sible for Germany to induce either OF
them to join her in an attack on Brit
ain 1t was Britain's answer to Ger
many's increase of her navy and
,oasts to "The Day, but 1t did not
provide for an attack on Germany.
The British foreign minister, Sir Il.
Grey, labored as zealously as the
French and Russian diplomats to pre-
vent the outbreak of the war The
supreme proof of the innocence of the
purposes of the Triple Entente Is
found in Grey's offer of July 81:
Sc. if Germany could get any reason
able proposal put forward which made
it clear that Germany and Austria
we're striving to preserve European
peace. and that Russia and France
would be unreasonable If they reject
ed It. if Russia and France would
not accept it His Majesty's govern
ment would have nothing more to do
with the consequences.
France and Russia entered the war
because Germany was bound to have
il so. Britain entered the war because
Germany treacherously invaded Bel

The friendship OF Russia for Servia
has long been an A G, of the Balkan
problem Russia was bound by ties
of race and religion to protect Seryia.
She was equally bound by self-interest.
For two centuries 1t had been Russia 8
ambition to get access to the Mediter-
ranean. either by conquering Turkey
or by having the Turkish possessions
fall into the hands Of friendly Balkan
states. 1t was therefore as certain
that Russia would try to protect the
independence of Seryia In 1914 as that
the United States would try to pro
tect South America against attack oy
European power.
The attack of Austria upon Seryia
did bring Russia to the rescue, but
Russia showed every desire to avoid
war First, she induced Seryia to make
a most submissive answer to the Aus
tiian ultimatum. Then. she accepted
all offers of mediation between herself
and Austria, and agreed to accept any
form OF conference which Germany
might suggest Finally, she proposed
that the Austro-Servian dispute
should be referred to the Hague Tri-
fused or eyaded these proposals and
Austria pushed her attack on Seryia,
Russia July 29) ordered partial
mobilization of her troops, but later
July 3O) offered to give up her mill
tary preparations II Austria would
agree ito eliminate from her ultima
tum points which violate the sovereign
rights OF Seryia." The answer was
fiat refusal.
On July 81 Austria replied TO Rus
sia's partial mobilization by calling out
all her troops, and Russia followed suit.
Then. for the first time July 81,
Austria began to negotiate. At once
the German emperor seized the relns
and ordered the Gear TO stop all mill
tary preparations within twelve hours,
TO obey. In view of German and Aus
trian preparedness for war, would
have been madness. The Car replied
by urging the emperor TO join with
him in working for the preservation OF
peace. even though they were both
calling out their forces But Emperor
William was unyielding, and later In
the day (Aug u declared war on Rus
sia.
Can anyone doubt that Germany
forced war upon Russia?
Under the terms of the Dual Alliance
QSgD. France was bound to come to
the help of Russia If she was attacked
by Germany, and there was no doubt
that she would be loyal to her obi
cations. But Germany did not desire
TO wait until France should come in;
her plan was to crush France and then
turn upon slow.mobilizing Russia.
Indeed, Germany was prepared, ii nee

German victory would only make it
more so Defeated, it is not too much
to hope that some even of this caste
will realize that they are also made
of common clay.
The Hohenzollern, the Army. the
civic officials, the landed nobility
these rule Germany. with little refer
ence to the wishes of the people. By
connections of society. marriage, and
business. they form one group, con
sidering itself chosen by God to rule
Germany and the world.

ment as to what changes in it Will be
tolerated. Opposition to Government
proposals, any new proposals inconye,

met by sneering retort from the Chan

real character can consent to give his
time as a member under such condi

ANNIE LAURIE REAL PERSON
Facts OF Origin of the Popu-
lar Scotch Song.

More than once has the question as
to whether Annie Laurie, the subject
Of the ever-popular and everything
song bearing her name as title. was a
real person or mere fiction.
A letter has come to hand that was
written by Miss NJ. f. Riddle, daughter
Of the late Judge Riddle, for many
years a circuit court justice in this
section, says writer in the Pitts
burgh Gazette-Times. The Riddles
were of Laurie Xix, as Scotch folk say,
and they had gone to some consider
able pains to get the story of the song
straight, as there had been consider
able'contentlon about 1t. Here 1t is:
"Jean Riddell (the name later spelled
Riddle, was married to Sir Robert
Laurie, The first baronet of Maxwelton.
One Of their daughters was Annie Lau-
rie. celebrated In Scotch song.
annie Laurie was famed for her
beauty and cleyerness, and was a social
favorlte in all the country round about,
so 1t was not at all surprising that she
captiyated n Mr.. Douglas of England.
man of culture and of letters, who
composed the song bearing her name.
"But seeing that the course of true
love does not run smoothly, she mar
rled a Mr. Gurgesson, leaving Mr..
Douglas to his hunting and his verses.
"To this day many pilgrims go to
Maxwelton, drawn thither by the much
loved song, Annie Laurie Many also
visit Craigdorroch, where she spent her
married life in comfort"

Glass Industry in America.

Glass was first manufactured in
America by the people of jamestown,
Va, during the year 1915. Comment
Ing on this fact, John Smith lamented
that 1.-The labor of the colony has been
miSdirected in the manufacture of
ashes. soap, glass and tar, in which
they could by no means compete with
Sweden or RUSSIA" The inhabitants
of jamestown did not agree with this
view, however, and soon afterward
commenced the erection of glass
works, the completion of which was in
terrupted by the Indian massacre of
1922. The first glass factory in NorCh
America to attempt the industry on an
ambitious scale was built in 1880 at
Temple, y. H., by Robert Hewes of
Boston. The workmen, 81 ia number,
were German deserters from the Brit
ish army. The careleSsness of work
man caused the destruction of the
plant by fire in 1871. In 1903 a glass
factory was established in Boston, and
since that time the industry hiss -four
isled.

Japanese Arts and Letters.

The Yamato association has been
formed by distinguished japanese cit
liens for the purpose of making Nip
pon's achievements in arts and letters
better known to the western world. Its
promoters believe that Japanese civil
ization is not correctly understood by
the vast majority of Occidental people.
Her naval, military and scientific adj
vancement Is recognized, but the West
has yet to comprehend the significance
of her achievements In the humanities.
The Japan Magazine, commenting
upon the new organization, says {:
"Many foreigners are disposed TO look
upon Japan as merely Il military ma
ton, whereas her most important side
is the genius of her unique civilization
and character. If people could get a
glimpse of the soul of Japan they
would have quite n different opinion Of
her This can best be had from Jap
anese art and literature, which in many
ways are equal to those of the West.
Even those Credentials who try to APP
precate japanese art prefer the least
representative art of the nation. And
as for Japanese literature, ii is prac-
tically unknown among western peo-
pie"
The association will publish works
on japanese history, literature and art
and make TRANSACTIONS into European
languages of the best works of Japan
csc writer's, ancient and modern; in
addition its endeavor will be to pro-
mote the Improvement of the national
music and drama.

WARY OLD BIRD IS TRUTH
Fact Worth Remembering When Ono
Is Tempted to Criticise Errors
Seen in Newspapers.

"Where do you get the absurd facts
you print?" is a favorite query put
to newspaper men. In the view of
these cynics, newspapers spend most
of their time misspeling names, Inn
aglnlng incidents that never happened,
and generally Matchmaking life as 1t is
led.
There is just one answer to be made
to the query above, and that is I:
newspapers get such Of their facts
as are absurd from the absurd human
beings who for one reason or "A thou
sand refuse to relate facts accurately"
Newspapers. truth-telling newspapers,
spend very large part of their time
correcting these misstatements, run
ming them to their source, and getting
at the truth. A certain proportion Of
error gets by-not as great a proper
neighborhood gossip, for it is the con-
Germ of newSpapers-of honest ones.
that is-to allow for errors and correct
them, whereas 1t is the concern of
those other purveyors of news, gossips.
to create errors whenever they are
more interesting than the truth.
The next time you find an error in
your favorite newspaper, try an expert
ment. Try to capture one small fact
yourself. in your own home town.
You Will quickly discover just how
wary bird the truth is and how very
unpopular.-New York Tribune.
