BACKED
AUSTRIA'S ATTITUDE
Alleged Documents Made Public, Which
Fasten That Fact Clearly Upon the
Mind-Serbian Minister to
France Gives Them

Paris, Wednesday, March 1.-Two
dispatches sent in cipher by Count Won
Szogyeny -Marich, Austrian ambassador
at Berlin before the war, to the Austro-
Hungarian foreign ministry, showing
that Germany was backing Austria IN
her warlike attitude toward Serbia, have
been made public by M. r. Vesnitch, Ser
bian minister to France, as printed in
the Journal The message read: Berlin,
July 25, 1914: 1t is generally supposed
here that negative reply from Serbia
will be followed on our part by an I'M
mediate declaration of war and military
operations. ANY adjournment of mill
tary operations would be considered here
as very dangerous on account OF inter
vention by other powers. We are coun-
selled with the greatest insistence to
pass Immediately to action and thus put
the world in face OF an accomplished
fact"
The second dispatch, marked Strictly
secret" says:
Berlin, July 27, 1914: The. secretary
of state has Just declared to me positive
", but under the seal of most strict Sc
crecy, that very soon eventual propo.
sitions of mediation from England will
be brought to the knowledge of your ex'
cellency. The German government as
sures me in the most convincing man
ner that it in no way identified itself
with these propositions, that it is abso'
lutely against their being taken into con-
sideration, and that il viii only trans
NIT them to us to give effect to the
English request"
Minister Vesnitch then quotes the
message sent on July 80, 1914, from Sir
Edward Grey, the British foreign min
ister, to Ambassador Gosehen, at Ber-
lin, offering, if the crisis passed, to take
the initiative in an arrangement salts
factory to Germany. The minister says
that neither Sir Edward Grey, Foreign
Minister SazonofT of Russia, nor Premier
Viyiani Of France then knew positively
that Germany wanted war. The minis
ter concludes:
IF anyone is incredulous, let him med
itate upon the foregoing documents

.HOHENZOLLERN PLANNED
ASYLUM IN SWEDEN
Vast Sums of Money Had Been Expended
in Putting an Old Castle in Shape
for Occupancy.

Washington, d. c., March l3.-William
Hohenzollern, two months before the ar
mistice was signed, planned an asylum
in Sweden but was prevented from going
to that country by the Swedish govern
ment, diplomatic sdvices made public to-
day disclosed
The former emperor's plans had
reached the point, the advices said, where
deal was virtually closed for him to
rent Castle Stora Sundby, situated on
one of the large lakes in the center Of
Sweden, about four hours run by train
from Stockholm. The castle is owned
by old friends, Prince and Princess We
del.
Preparations for his reception are said
to have gone so far that vast sums were
spent in putting the castle in repair, and
comment was critical in the vicinity be-
cause Of the scarcity and cost of mate
rials in Sweden at that time.
When the Swedish government learned
the purpose to which the castle was TO
be put, representations were made and
William Hohenzollern changed his plans,
with the result that in few weeks he
fed to another castle in Holland.

DIR. c. f, Dalton of the state board of
health appeared before the House yester-
day afternoon in committee of the whole,
and explained H. 260, which does away
with local health officers and assigns
their duties to 10 qualified physicians,

local health officers had broken down
on account of the difficulties of getting
local enforcement of the law. The ap-
preparation called for is S35 900, which
transfers TO the state the cost of doing
