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.
Jaur6s, the great French Socialist,
told the simple truth when 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, nd l am
therefore now entitled TO state that at
the present moment the French gov
eminent desire peace and are laborlng
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. ~ to
desist from attacking Belgium, Britain
would have refrained from her DECLARE
ton of war.
The desire to crush Germany COM
mercially had nothing to do with Brit
aims entering the war. If this had
been her aim, she would have put up
tariff wall, which would have been
cheaper method of self-protection
than war.
The Entente of Britain with France
$500 and Russia (190O 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 1t lmpos-
sibIe for Germany to induce either OF
them to join her in an attack on Bit
ain. 1t was Britain's answer to Ger
manys increase of her navy and
toasts to 1.-The Day., but it did not
provide for an attack on Germany.
The British foreign minister, Sir h.
Grey, labored as zealOusly as the
French and Russian diplomats to pre-
vent the outbreak Of the war. me
supreme proof 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
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
it so; Britain entered the war because
Germany treacherously invaded Bel
GUM.

German society is based on abso-
lutism and militarism. The ambition Of
the house of Hohenzollern is to dom
mate the world; its preteXt is to
spread Germanism. German culture
we have hitherto warmly welcomed
and we shall do so again. But the
Kaisers brand of Germanism we do
not want. We prefer our own civiliZa-
ton which is based on liberty, not on
despotism.
The Kaiser says: ''The soldier
should have no will of his own; you
should all have but one will, and that
IS my will, There is but one law for
you, and that is nine
He says to his recruits: Should
the necessity arise, you must even
shoot down your fathers and mothers
at my order"
He says again: "Only one is mas
ter in the land. That am l! Whoever
opposes me 1 will smash in pieces!'
He refers here to Social Democrats,
the only important party in Germany
that stands for democratic liberty and
for the rights of the common man,
He calls them ga gang unworthy of
the name of Germans, traitors to
their country"
The Kaiser and the government are
intensely militaristic. Wilhelm's first
speech as Kaiser was to the army and
navy. These are his idols. German
militarism is the best thing we have
achieved in the course Of our develop
ment as a state and people, says
Chancellor Won BueloW. A chorus OF
professors and politicians joins in
Professor Sombart proclaims war ''the
hottest thing on earth, and all re-echo
Moltke'S words that perpetual peace is
only a dream and not even a beautiful
dream.
Under such a government there is
little liberty, and much oppression
I'VE Germans in Prussia, says Karl
Liebknecht, "have three cardinal
rights: to be soldiers, to pay taxes
and to hold our tongues between our
teeth" In Prussia they are not very
considerate of the common man.
In the first place, is he educated for
his own good? Of the common-school
teacher and of the university professor
alike the Kaiser says: According to
his rights and duties he is, in the first
place, a state official. In this position
he should do what is demanded of him.
He should teach the young and pre-
pare them for resisting all revolu-
tionary q. e. democratic) aims"
The German boy not only learns at
school that he must not be Social
Democrat, ne learns that he is to be a
soldier,-not very pleasant business
His drill-masters do not treat him very
humaneIy. In 1902 the Reichstag pro
tested and 500 officers were condemn
ed for cruelty to soldiers-One ieuten-
ant for 600 cases of mal-treatment, and
one non commissioned officer for 1920.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1918-05-01

The friendship of Russia for Servia
has long been an A 3 c 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 Medlter-
ranean, either by conQUering Turkey
or by having the Turkish possessions
fall into the hands of friendly Balkan
states. It 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 Seryia
did bring Russia to the rescue, but
Russia showed every desire to avoid
war. First, she induced Servia TO make
a 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 Tri-
bunaI. When Austria and Germany re-
fused or evaded these proposals and
Austria pushed her attack on Servia,
Russia (July 29) ordered partial
mobilization of her troops, but later
(July 800 offered to give up her mill
tarv preparations if Austria would
agree ito eliminate from her ultima
tum points which violate the sovereign
rights of SerVia." The answer was a
fat refusal.
q = -, Tod tn nc
sia's partial mobilization by calling oLt
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 Gar 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 OIL
peace, even though they were botn
calling out their forces. But Emperor
William was unyielding, and later IN
the day aug. u declared war on Rus
STA.
Can anyone doubt that Germany
forced war upon Russia?
Under the terms of the Dual Alliance
{1891, 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
essary, to goad France into war, The
German ambassador in Paris was ac-
cordingly instructed Gully 3D to de
mand that if France decided to remain
neutral, she must surrender her great

After his army service, the work
man, back at his job, has longer
hours and poorer pay than almost any
other European workingman. AS a re-
suit, 55 per cent of the workmens
families in Berlin live in a single room,
according to Ambassador Gerard.
If the Iaborer does not like his
wages of course he can strike, but he
must not forget that the Kaiser once
proposed on his own initiative, law
making strikes punishable by three to
five years of penal servitude. Against
sickness, non unemployment, and destl-
tuition in old age the government
shrewdly protects him, in part, of
course, at his own expense. He Will
have to pay a large share of his slen-
der savings into the governments in

leave the country, he will lose all he

cannot therefore love a system, which

in the fatherland which he had left as
