SHIFTING RESPONSIBILITY
Austria Says Hungary Forced Her
III Into War 49,

St. Germain, June 23.-The Aus
TRAN delegation has sent a-3ourtl1
note to the Peace Conference pro-
testing against the German Austrian
Republic "being made the heir of "a.
the responsibilities of the Austrc-
Hungarian Empire, of which it was
but the smaller, poorest, most peace
full and most liberal of States.'
It points out that at the time war
was declared in 1914 the Foreign Min
lister. his two principal collaborators
ana almost all Of Austria's ambassa-
dors were Hungarian and maintains
that the responsibility for the war is
common to all the States forming The
empire that has vanished"
The note expresses confidence thu;
the "spirit of justice of the Confer
encetwiN not let the whole burden be
thrown upon German Austria"
Berne, June 21.-An official tele-
gram to the Vienna Foreign Office, eX-
onerating Serbia of responsibility f.
the Serajevo murder, has been pub
lished by Macmillan Harden in the
Berlin Zukunft, as part of the mass
of evidence to show German reSDcn.-
s;b!lity for the war.
TINS telegram, dated July -, 1914,
states plainly that the Serbian Gov
srn.nent, against which no evidence
can be produced, has no responsible
lity for the murders.
This document, Herr Harden Sid,
was cancelled and ten days later the
ult;matum to Serbia was presented. H.
addition, he said, seven days before i
was drafted the Potsdam War Council
had arranged plan of action
N anticipation of Russia's interven-
ten.
"von Bethmann-H ollweg may have
forgotten it." Herr Harden says, "br.
This decision was taken ANIL registered
81 July 6, before the Kaiser left for
The North, and he who had to choose
between war and peace, had already
chosen war. A hundred million IN
i;viduals were thus decefvcd.'

LIKE OTHER ORIENTAL TOWNS
Joppa Since Earliest History Has
Been More or Less the PIaythino
OF C~onquerors.

In the tribute lists of Thothmes III
king of Egypt. who held his court on
the banks of the Nile, some 1900 years
before the Christian era. there figured
the town of Joppa. Thothmes III was a
mighty warrior. He fought no fewer
than seventeen successful campaigns
in Syria, twice captured Kadesh and
was n of the greatest builders and
administrators Egypt had ever known.
So, although nothing is certain about
the matter, he probably captured Jop-
pa and laid tribute on the inhabitants,
who then, as today, built their houses
over the rounded hillock" which, from
the sea, forms a gracious landmark.
That was 3,4OO years ago, and every
nov and again during all those CEN
turtles, the old city, which looks out
Owe the Mediterranean toward the
coast of Africa. away beyond Egypt,
has stepped into and out of the history
of the world.

On Marrying Aviators.

1t is noticed that the dear girls are
marrying aviation ~lieutenants more
than any other class of soldiers. This
Is not because so many of them are
killed, but because the service Is the
most romantic. and If there is any,
thing a well-balanced girl likes more
than anything else it is nan And
to have a husband who sails the blue
skies and goes hiding in the clouds
makes a girl very proud. She has a
right to be. He is looked upon as a
superman who gets beyond the domain
of gravitation and wanders in the re-
gions where the angels are supposed
to fly. When such a one gets back
to earth and sits with his wife before
the cordial fireplace, and talks to her
of stars, sunsets and dreams, could
there be more delightful company?
Who would not be an aviator and face
all the perils of aviation for such an
experienced No wonder the govern
ment has more aviators than 1t wants.

FAMOUS MEN OF GREEN ISLE
Country Has Few More picturesque
Figures Than the Three Widely
Known MyIes Brothers.

Lieut.. Col. Sir Thomas Myles. NJ. D..
better known as Sir Tom Myles-
who has been In America on . British
medical mission, Is one of the most
picturesque figures in Irish life. AS
medical students In Trinity college,
Dublin. the three Myles brothers were
famous for their encounters with mem
bers Of the heavyweight" division OF
the Metropolitan police. Ii used to be
said of the Myles brothers, that, II
they found /. necessary to beat up the
Dublin finest" at night. they were
equally assiduous in patching them up
in the morning. SO there was no hard
feeling on either side.
Sir Thomas was knighted In 1902
when he was president of the College
of Surgeons in Ireland. II was as
u surgeon In Stevens hospital
that he made the first examination OF
the bodies Of Burke and Cavendish,
the victims of the famous Phoenix
park murders. The strange thing was
that. at the moment. neither Sir
Thomas nor the police knew that n
or the bodies was that OF the chief Sec
rotary, and the other that of the under
secretary for Ireland.
IT Is a habit of the Myles family
to be over six feet in height. and
with shoulders and fists in proportion.
In the Zulu war one of the chiefs was
run to earth In his kraal by the British.
who wished to capture him alive. Vol
unteers were asked for and Sir
Thomas brother John undertook the
task. He crawled through the long
covered entrance and came out ten
minutes later. dragging the kicking
%potentate behind him by the scrufr Of
the neck.

WHEN MAKING OUT A CHECK
Take Time Enough to Write leolbly
and Be Sure Amount Is Indicated
Clearly In Writing.

Do you know how to write a check
so that IL cannot be successfully tam
pered with? Experts declare that
carelessness in that small matter Is
responsible for the loss of millions Of
dollars annually, the loss falling some
times on the individual and sometimes
on the bank. There are mechanical
devices to prevent the raising Of
checks. but their use is not general,
partly because of the expense, but
more particularly, probably. because II
adds one more TO the multitude Of
things TO be done.
For those who are daily taking
chances William G.. Pengelly, hand
writing expert in a recent paper, of.
fers some valuable advice In the draw.
ing OF checks. His first suggestion is
TO take enough time for the process to
be sure of doing a good job. In filling
In the space for the amount In nu.
merals, write in legible figures. begin
ming close to the printed dollar mark
don't leave space for the Insertion of
dnOluer HsuTe. linen Virtue IHe amount
in words, preferably beginning with a
capital. at the left-hand end of the
line don't write IL so that the amount
stands In the middle of the line; hav.
ing written the amount properly, draw
a heavy line from the last letter to
the word Dollars" at the right. AS
he says, block the words In" so that
additions cannot be easily made either
at the beginning or at the end. When
the words are written clearly and with
an initial of unmistakable identity, the
check-raiser has little opportunity for
his work.
Another safeguard Mr.. Pengelly sug-
gests is the writing of the amount OF
the check, either In figures or words, in
red Ink. above or within the signature
at the bottom. In his experience he
has found this to be a successful safe
guard against fraud. But the all-im.
portant things are legibility of hand
writing and proper location of the
written amounts. Don't be in a hurry
