MISCELLANEOUS WANTS
Why Russia, France and Great Britain
Entered the War

BY G. c. SELLERY, Professor of History,
University of Wisconsin

fortresses, Toul and Verdun, to Ger
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 whch he said
July 29): Il have never shrunk from
bringing on my head the hatred of our
chauvinists 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 it's 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. u 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. a to
desist from attacking Belgium, Britain
would have refrained from her declara-
ton of war.
The desire to crush Germany COM
merciaIly 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 self-protectlon
than war.
The Entente of Britain with France
19ON and Russia (19O7) was not
formed to crowd Germany out of the
sun. It. was formed to remove causes
of friction between Britain and the
other powers, SO as to make IT lmpos.
sible for Germany to induce either OF
them to join her in an attack on Erlt-
ain. 1t was Britain's answer to Ger
many's increase of her navy and
toasts to "T.le Day., but it did not
provide for an attack on Germany.
The British foreign minister, Sir III.
Grey, labored as zealously as the
French and Russian diplomats to pre-
vent the outbreak Of the war. me
supreme p2oof of the innocence OF the
purposes of the Triple Entente IS
found in Grey's offer of July 81:
g. 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
90 It. if Russia and France would
not accept it His Majesty's govern
nent would have nothing more to 90
with the consequences"
France and Russia entered the war
because Germany was bound to have
if so: Britain entered the war because
Germany treacherously invaded Bel

The friendship of Russia for Servia
has long been an A B G of the Balkan
problem. Russia was bound by ties
of race and religion to protect Servia.
She was equally bound by self-interest.
For two centuries it had been Russia's
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 Servia in 1914 as that
the United States would try to pro-
tect South America against attack by
a European power.
The attack of Austria upon Servia
did bring Russia to the rescue, but
Russia showed every desire to avoid
war First, she induced Servia to make
q most submissive answer to the Aus
trian 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 Trl-
bunal. When Austria and Germany re
fused or evaded these proposals and
Austria pushed her attack on Servla,
Russia July 29) ordered a partial
mobilization of her troops, but later
l,July 3O) offered to give up her mill
tary preparations if Austria would
agree ito eliminate from her ultima
tum points which violate the sovereign
rights of Servia." The answer was a
flat 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 fJuly 81,
Austria began to negotiate. At once
the German emperor seized the relns
and ordered the Gar to stop all mill
'tary preparations within twelve hours.
TO obey, in view Of German and Aus
TRAN preparedness for war, Would
have been madness. The Gear replied
bv 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. y declared war on RUS
STA.
Can anyone doubt that Germany
forced war upon Russia!
Under the terms of the Dual Alliance
QS91), 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 II;
her plan was to crush France and then
turn upon slow-mobilizing Russia.
Indeed, Germany was prepared, ii nee
essary, to gocd France into war The
German ambassador in Paris was &C
cordingly instructed (July BID to de-
mand that if France decided to remain
neutral, she MI st surrender her great

RHEUMATISM ALL GONE

Last summer | was introduced to a
gentleman who stretched forth his left
hand instead of his right one for the
handshaking part of the ceremony. He
FASTENED to explain that he had a
mighty painful elbow as result of
playing golf When someone remarked
that it was surprising that hitting a
little golf ball would produce SO pain
full an injury as that, he replied with a
vehemence which only other golfers
will understands:
Thunder, it wasn't hitting the ball,
but missing it and digging up the
ground, that did it,
The other day l met him again and
noted that he shook hands this time
with his right hand. 1t looked as if a
cold winter and rainy spring, by
making golf impossible, had allowed
his elbow time to recover. But this
was not his explanation.
1T wasn't golf at ALL" he said.
''The pain persisted during the winter
when / wasn't playing, so l went to a
surgeon for examination.
''The surgeon looked my elbow over
carefully, shook his head, and asked me
to open my mouth. He then proceeded
very much to my surprise, to go over
my teeth. After a few moments, he
told me to 60 to DR.. Blank and have an
X-Ray examination made of my jaw
Gas result of the X-Ray, and other
examinations, DR.. Blank told me that
one of my teeth should be extracted
and the socket scraped to clean out a
little pocket of germ infested tissue
surrounding the end of the tooth. I
agreed after hearing the opinion that
the focal infection might be response
BILE for the condition of my elbow and
that, furthermore / might contract a
more serious case of rheumatism and
even possible heart disease from such
a source.
"As a result of the extraction of the
tooth, the pain disappeared quite
promptly from my elbow, and believe
/ feel a lot better generally, although
this latter opinion may he purely i'm
aginary because / was feeling pretty
well before"
