The Washington times., 1918-05-13

The bloodiest conflict of record
ed history is now on. Austria
the ferret Of Europe, the chronic
disturber Of continental peace
has again plunged the civilized
countries of Christendom into in
ternational warfare. The great
English statesman, Gladstone. once
asked, Can anyone put his finger
on any spot of the map where Aus
tria has done any good? But
Gladstone died sixteen years ago.
What would he say OF Austria s
role during these later years? All
over Europe there has been a rap
id advance in civilization, in which
Austria has not fully participated.
In diplomacy her ways have been
medieval, barbaric. Her present
conduct is no exception.
Germany Approving.
After years Of encroachment
upon the Serbs, she annexed the
Slavic countries of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, in 1909, without so
much as a ''thank-you," and with
Germany's full appreciation. Dur
ing the recent Balkan war, Aus
TIA tried once more to set the
prime nations OF Europe at one
another's throats. But mastery
diplomacy warded off the catas-
trophe. Now, hardly has the
smoke Of the Balkan wars cleared
from the skies, when Austria
trumps up a charge against the
small, exhausted state Of Serbia.
She accuses a whole race of an in
dividual's mUrderous folly. She
sends an imperious ultimatum to
Belgrade. The Serbian govern
ment. aware Of its own compare
tive weakness, bows the knee to
every condition of the offensive
ultimatum save one, namely, that
Austrian officials shall sit in the
court which is 10 investigate the
assassination of the Archduke
Franz Ferdinand and his consort.
To grant Austrian representa-
ton, under the circumstances,
was to sign Serbia's own death
warrant, since Austrian prejudice
had already convicted Serbia.
Furthermore, Serbia realized that
she was not nationally response
bic, and could not manfully bring
herself to the admission of any
The Washington times., 1918-05-13

The next day BATES WARREN
and JOHN WARREN, whom all
Washington knows, wrote to SENA-
TOR JONES a letter which was
mild compared to their feelings.
They own the Alabama and told the
The Washington times., 1918-05-13

distinguished Senator that they had
NO intention of soaring their ten
ants into a boosted rent; that NO
proposals. for a raised rent had
EVER been made by them; that all
the leases in the apartment have
until October to run and that, Of
course no one could be dispossessed?
Legislation to regulate real estate
abuses is needed, but IL II is based
on inaccurate information it will be
of little use.
Senator Jones read the letter from
the Messrs. Warren and also an
anonymous communication which
would be of REAL interest to ALL
tenants of the Alabama. / have no
use for such communications, but
inasmuch as it is printed in the
Congressional Record for May 10 I
can advertise it as a choice bit.
Eat potatoes. The latest advice is
to cat both new and old crops.
The Washington times., 1918-05-13

SENATOR JONES made a
charge in the Senate that the own
ers of the Alabama Apartment
House proposed to raise rents on all
the tenants in a forcible manner.
The Washington times., 1918-05-13
lch high-handed charge.
Brutality to Serbia.


Brutality to Serbia.
On this slim pretext-unprece-
dented in history-the great dual
monarchy invaded depleted Ser
bia. Never was there such sub
serviency on the part of a weak
eAed but proud nation; never was
there such open violation of the
basic usages of modern civiliza-
ton on the part Of a so-called
civilized, modern power. And
from these slight causes, all the
lrmed strength of Europe is ar
rayed, brother against brother.
And who is to bear the brunt of
the war? With all the bourses of
the world closed, with the mer-
chant marine Of the world nearly
at a standstill, with prices soar
ing and famine staring even neu-
trail countries in the face, who
shall pay the piper? The Serb
ians are fighting the unsought ag-
Pression o. a hated race; the Rus
SLAMS are supporting their kin
dred Slavs-but for what are the
line-men of the Austrian ranks
fighting? What shall they gain,
even if they win, but impover-
ished fields and fortunes and the
perpetuation of a mistrusted gov
eminent.
An Artificial Empire.
To begin with, Austria is an ar
tifcially constituted empire. The
Germanic blood OF the ruling class
constitutes less than a quarter Of
the total population, while the
Slavic population Of Austria
numbers 46 per cent OF the total
inhabitants. Austria is made up
of a variety of conflicting and un-
assimilable peoples: Bohemians,
Moravians, Poles, Ruthenians.
CroatS, Serbs. Slovaks, Morlaks,
BulgarianS, Italians. Armenians.
Jews, Gypsies 100000, Magyars.
Germans, and Roumanians. What
can we expect Of national unity
from this mixture of tongues and
nationalities under a government
which is unpopular with most of
them? For what Is the individual
contending? What may he hope
to reap as reward, save death
and further subjecticn?

defeat, and they must get it, other
wise they will press down on the
brow Of humanity a crown of thorns
more agonizing than that of Attila
the Hun.
Germany must be defeated now in
France and not after she appears at
our doors swollen with the pride OF
victory and with our present allies
flogged into her ranks as her allies.
The great cause is on trial now. At
any other time it will be too late.
The place is France. Germany is reel
ing down to defeat II we add the
might of our blows to those of our
allies, she will fall. Unless she falls
we meet her next, and we may have
to met her alone.
The man who argues that we should
await her coming to our shores to
attack us has not thought about it, or,
If he has thought about it, he either is
a fool or he wishes Germany to win.
Let us cease listening to the unthink-
ing, to fools, and to traitors. Let us
fight this out in France alongside our
allies.
