HOW DID THE WAR BEGIN?

How did the war begin? Who
knows? Don't all speak up at
once.
A chronology of the war pub
lished by the Chattanooga Times
Sunday, gives the following
dates:
Assassination of Archduke
Ferdinand and the Duchess of
Hohenburg at Sarojero. Bosnia,
by a Serbian student, June %,
1914. In July, or to be more ex-
act, July %, 1914, Austria took
up the matter demanding punish
ment of the assassin and a sup
preston of Pan-Serbianism, a
movement to have no rulers over
Serbia except of the Serbian race,
and also get rid of various meth
DDS of government obnoxious to
Serbians.
On July Is, 1914, Serbia ac-
coded to all conditions except
Austria's participation in the in
vestigation. This nettled Aus
tria, which, on same day, with
drew its ambassador. Russia was
allied with Serbia and despite
England's appeal to suspend hos
tilities pending a cooperative
mediation conference, on July
II. Austria, Serbia and Russia
commenced war preparations.
Russia modified five army corps
and Austria had a partial mobil-
ization Of its forces. On July %
Austria declared war on Serbia,
after England's appeal for me-
diation was refused by both Aus
tria and Germany, which latter
country had by this time ordered
its feet modified and was ready
to enter with its ally, Austria,
into a war with Serbia and Rus
STA. On July %, 1914, lombard
ment of Belgrade was made by
Austria, Germany and Italy still
making efforts for the war to be
purely a local affair between Aus
tria and Serbia. On the same
date Russia modified a million
and quarter troops for service
on the Austrian frontiers. Ger
many also sent troops to the Rus.
sian frontier, and on July 80, sent
Russia an ultimatum, giving her
twenty four hours to explain her
Misunderstanding mobilization.
On July 81 general Russian mo
bilization was ordered, and on
August /, 1914, Germany de-
clared war on Russia. England
had during these few days been
making appeals to Russia to a
vert the war, which it seems it
corld have done by not interfer-
ing with the Austtians and Ser
bians in their row. On August
8, Germany declared war on
France, a member of the triple
alliance of which Russia was one
and;on August A, England Joined
its allies, and the terrible world
war was started in full blast,
destroying. manning and killing.
The News has often stated that
Germany was not the cause Of
the war, and the above dates
from la paper which urged the
entrance of this country into the
terrible conflict must be true.
The News is not policeman
it has always been and will al
ways be for America and for A
mericans but always desires the
truth to stand out clearly, no
matter whom it hits. We have
ever been opposed to Germany's
system of military enslavement,
do not endorse the barbaric Gus
toms of its soldiery, but the truth
is the row started with Austria
and Serbia getting at outs over
the punishment of a miserable
assassin, who was not worth the |

ADDED BEAUTY TO GARDENS
World Owes Debt to Frenchman Who
Improved on the Glory of the
Lilac Blossom.

One of Frances war gardeners OF
1901 won Immortality by studying
his plants, instead of tending his gar
den merely as way to help out with
the food supply. Like most war gar
deners, he did not give his attention
exclusively to vegetables but planted
few flowers, and it was with these that
he had conspicuous success.
In 1871 Victor Lemoine began his
experiments in cross-fertilizing differ
ent species of lilac. He took up this
work to get his mind away from the
troubles Of his country, for a German
garrison was quartered in his native
town, Nancy, and the rest of France,
except the doomed provinces of Alsace-
Lorraine, was slowly buying back its
freedom from the same hated pres
ence. LemOine's sight at that time was
very bad, so he planned and had his
wife execute.
That was the origin of the wondrous
group of shrubs known today through
out the civilized world as "French
lilacs," with their great trusses of
beauteeus bloom. 1t is Lemoine's best
known work, though not his only one.
He recreated the mock orange, the
deutzia, the weigelia, the delphinium,
and score of other perennials and
shrubs.

HAMMER IN REPAIRING AUTO
Care in Use Of Tool Is One Of First
Things Amateur Should Learn
In Fixing Engine.

Care in the use Of the machinist's
hammer, which forms part of the
tool equipment Of every automobile, ia
one Of the first things the amateur
automobile repair man must learn
when working around the engine, says
a writer in the current issue of Amer
lean Motorist. With this hammer he
can do more damage In moment
than good man can repair In week.
His first inclination is to use this form
of persuasion on any and every re-
fractory part, and this Is desire
which should be overcome.
Not only should the hammer itself
not be used on any metal parts with
out the Intervention Of a block Of
wood to protect the surface, but care
must be exercised to avoid hitting the
other parts through the inaccuracy Of
aim that distinguishes the unskilled
wielder of this tool.
A poorly aimed blow that misses Its
target and lands on one Of the valve
push rods or similarly vulnerable parts
with any degree of force Is apt to cause,
trouble Of an expensive nature.
It is good thing for the novice to
be sparing in the use OF his hammer az
cure-all.

HAD SEEN THEM "AT WORK"
Tommy Had Little Need to Puzzle His
Brains Over Question Propounded
by Teacher.

Here is little story that was told
at social session by Representative
Hubert D. Stephens of Mississippi, as
an illustration that the be9t industrial
results cannot always be obtained
through team work:
Some time since, the teacher of a
public school in a country town was
instructing juvenile class in mathe-
mates when she turned to small boy
named Tommy.
Tommy" said she, IF your father
can do piece Of work in six days and
your uncle Jim can do it in seven days.
how long would 1t take them to do 1t
together"
"About ten thousand years. was the
rather startling rejoinder of Tommy.
''Ten thousand years!' exclaimed
the teacher "Why, Tommy, what do
you mean?"
Il mean," was the prompt response
Of Tommy, "that II you put them to
work together they would sit ON the
fence, smoke and swap fish stories. >

CARED LITTLE FOR POLITICS
President Cleveland, However, Had
Real Liking for tho Law, and
Loved to Fish.

president Cleveland loved the law
better than he did politics." remarked
r. o. Brown, former resident of Buff
falo, to a reporter Of the Washington
Post. Had he considered his own de-
sires he would never have left his prac-
tice for political Office. doubt II even
the prospect Of becoming president
would have induced him to enter poll
tics.
1T was my privilege to know Mr..
Cleveland when he was practicing his
profession before he entered politics.
He was not what might be termed
glitterlng success as a lawyer. He had
no business instinct so far as the law
was concerned, but he delighted in
intricate legal problems, and much pre-
ferred to take case that involved ap-
parently hopeless questions. 1t could
not be said he was 4 good pleader, and
while the average person was not at
tracted by his addresses in court,
Judges on the bench had the greatest
respect for them, because they were
profound and logical.
when he was not engaged in law,
Cleveland delighted in utter abandon
ment Of all things that required
thought; above everything else he
loved to flsh. I recall that when some
Of his Democratic friends wanted him
10 become a candidate for mayor he
said: I don't want any more of poll
tics. want to stay right here in Erie
county, where I can 60 fishing occa-

WOMEN DRIVERS
FEAR TOO MUCH
Fair Motorist Expresses Opinion
That They Lack Confidence
in Themselves.
DRIVING IS STATE OF. MIND
Many Know What to Do Under Prac-
ticalIy All Conditions and Still
Fall to Do It-Best Nerve
Tonic in the World.

AS has been said about worry
namely, that most Of ones troubles
never happen-so the fear that a wom-
an has in driving a car is not so much
that as it is the fear of being afraid.
At least that is the opinion Of we'll
known woman motOrist.
"From my own experience and the
experience Of other women to whom
have talked about the subject, be-
lieve the most difficult thing woman
has to overcome in learning to drive
car is not to be afraid of being
afraid" says this expert woman driver.
Probably this sounds a little compli-
Gated, and an easier way to say it
would be chat women as whole, be-
lieve, lack confidence in themselves to
handle the unexpected, should the un-
expected occur.
Easy to Handle Car.
"a lot has been said about driving.
Much advice has been offered as to
what to do and what not to do. be-
lieve that good driving is simply a
state OF mind and that as soon as any
one discovers how easy it is to handle
a car and how near an impossibility
it Is for an emergency to arise that
cannot be met with little effort, when
the simple mechanism of the modern
car is mastered, she has learned about
oil there is to know in order to drive
q car.
"Of course one might know what
to do under practically all conditions,
and still not do it. Here is where lots
Of women fail as good drivers; their
fear of doing the wrong thing is SO
great that they do nothing at all.
Material Benefits.
II have yet to see any woman who
has not been materially benefited by
driving. The fresh air, the co-ordina-
ton of eye, mind and muscle, the ex-
hilaration Of feeling that you are mas
ter of the powerful and yet tractable
motor, and that it will answer your
every within, cannot help but have a
beneficial effect on the nerves. In
fact, / firmly believe that driving is
the best nerve tonic in the world.
81 have driven my car over thou
sands of miles of all kinds Of roads
boulevards, deserts and mountains.
The fact that have never had an &C
cident of any kind adds lot to the
sum total Of my pleasure, of course,
but I know that even had expert
enced lot Of trouble I would not
sacrifice for a great deal the actual
gain in health and the JOY of driving
that have experienced In my car"

PLANES IDENTIFIED BY TUNE
Discovery Made by American Provee
Extremely Valuable to British
Aviation Service.

Air raids on London are no longer
the sure-fire stuff for heartening the
PGerman people that they once were.
Lately the raiders usually find that
they can raid up to the English coast
and then have to raid right back home
again. A young American is given
credit for the success Of the British In
surrounding their capital with shrap-
mel barrage whenever the German fly
ers approach.
A Brooklyn youth who had enlisted
in the British aviation service was as
signed to test out an airplane detector
which was expected to discover the APP
proach Of airplanes before they could
be heard. 80 to speak, with the naked
eye. No one expected that the device
would make 1t possible to tell whether
the approaching plane were German
or British.
His musical studies had trained the
Americans hearing to high degree,
however. He listened through the in
strument for several days while only
British planes few within its range.
Then he heard a different note. A Ger
man raiding squadron was approach
ing.
The American had discovered that
British planes hum in G-minor. He
found that the German raiders are
tuned in B-flat. Now the British avia-
ton service keeps men about the capt.
tai with their ears close to detectors,
and whenever airplanes are heard
vibrating in B-flat barrage is imme-
diately ordered.
