THE CRIME OE SARAJEVO

Frederc C. Penfield, former United States ambassa-
dor to Austria Hungary, in the Independent, New
York;
The concrete facts were that youthful zealot
named Princip with two three accomplces, all Of
Serbian blood actually subjects of Austria. had
been prepared the Serbian capital by handful of
agitators to kill the Archduke Francis Ferdinand
when he to officially inspect the soldiers sta
toned at Saraevo
In a forest contiguous to Belgrade the ant-Aus-
TRANS had schooled the fanatical lads in shooting
Browning pistols and throwing hand bombs that had
secretly been made in a Serbian arsenal The das-
tardly crime undeniaby the outcome of deliber
ate political plot formulated in Serbia, but it
neither the work of King Peters government of
the Serbian nation.
Throughout the Danube monarchy, where the
archduke had never been popular. scarcely person
regarded the murder sufficient for hostili
ties, and after the press for few days had anmad
verted harshly against the Baltic kingdom, Russia
and all Sav peoples, Austrian anger seemed TO have
its course. 1t is doubted if a hundred of Francis
Josephs subjects had any thought of war, and no
body apart from the miarist class could have wanted
strife. 1t simply not regarded possible
Dplomatiss inquring at the foreign office were
uniformly assured that while certain demands must
be made upon Serbia, nothing drastic contem-
plated Distinctly the idea given that recourse
to arms not being considered. The press soon
forgot its abuse of the Slav the venerable
peror back to his hermitage Iisch and it was
good deduction that Europe not in 1914 to see
an outbreak of war.
Weighing the pros and cons in his Potsdam study
the crafty Hohenzolern must have decided that the
hour had struck for launching his grandose military
plans. The killing of Francis Ferdinand was the best
of pretexts for United Germany TO set out for the
place in the that destiny had so long been pre-
pairing for her. The dual monarchy might not wish
war, but her important Teuton ally did and hence
Francis Joseph be made to understand how
overwhelming the crime committed on that sleepy
Sabbath afternoon in the capital city Bosnia by the
Serbs who in reality subjects of the Austrian
crown.

TIL. President at the Conference

There are general journalistic expressions OF re-
gret that the president has decided to 80 to Europe to
participate III person in the peace conference The
prevalent opinion is that he could much good
at home: a fear that in the month OF six weeks OF
his absence serious implications may arise; that de-
cisons of moment may to be taken by the egis-
lative and executive departments of the government
II is further urged that his presence at the peace con-
ference is not necessary and cannot be helpful.
The New York Times and there has not been
more sincere supporter of the administration, offers
another reason why the president should not go abroad
at this time and for this purpose:
Great as the occasion may be- it does not seem to
rs that the peace conference will call for the attend
ance of the president OF the United States He is
expected to send delegates, not to 90 himself How
frequently may be pointed out here and abroad
that he is prime minister he is much more than
that In fact title he is the actual head of the
state. There will be member of that conference
whom, in formal communications of 2mity and good
will, he would address great and good friend
The people Of the United States will not be able 10
from their minds the feeling that there would
be something of unseemliness in his taking part in
council where questions will be argued positions be
attacked and defended differences of view "thrashed
out saying goes. That is the function of dele
gates speaking representatives of their govern
ments. We accustomed to feel that when the
president speaks speaks with authority 1t is not
quite the thing that he should engage in argument
much less in such controversies will naturally

GERMANS CONTROL SACKS

BUENOS AIRES, oct. 90.-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press.)-
The purchase of two and a half mil
lion tons of Argentine wheat by the
allied governments has brought good
profits into the pockets of German
grain brokers in Buenos Aires despite
strict instructions that none of the al
lied wheat was to be purchased from
Germans.
Today. in addition to having made a
nice profit out of the allied trade. the
Germans have about a million sacks
OF wheat stored along the wharves to
be sold some of these days. probably
back to Argentina, at prices much
above cost.
When the allied wheat convention
was signed. there was a scarcity OF
grain sacks in Argentina They could
not be bought at any price within rea-
son. Most of them had been carefully
packed away in German warehouses.
AS soon as the wheat convention was
signed and people began to turn their
attention to buying wheat, the Germans
kept out of wheat pits and devoted
ali their energies to buying sacks.
They bought the entire outputs of the
few Argentine factories and then they
began cornering the sack market in
| Uruguay.
This enabled the German agents to
control the sale to the allies of a part
Of ArgentlnaS wheat crop.
