WAR Necessity" Shown

article called "They Wanted War"
that he, the chief of the Austrian
general staff. was responsible for
"the conduct of policy" The second
document is letter to the Neue
Freie Presse from "a parsonage,
who, in view of his then official po-
sit:on, was most precisely informed
about the policy of the Vienna For
eign Office in the period before the
outbreak of war" This anonymous
parsonage writes Gin the interests of
historic truth:
1T is true that memorandum
was prepared in the Vienna Foreign
Office about the middle of June,
1914, and it is also true that it was
not dispatched in its original form;
it was dispatched after it had been
modified in consideration of the as
sassination on June %, 1914. But
this memorandum was by no means
intended to show the necessity of
a war with Serbia; on the contrary,
it dealt with the question how the
peace of Europe could be secured,
ard for this purpose it was intended
between Austro-Hungarian and Ger
man policy in the east, which had
not existed in full measure since
1912.
"After the results of the Balkan
war, and in consequence of the al
tered altitude of Roumania, the Of
fersive group of powers, the en-
tente, had acquired military super
iority. Thereby the peace was
threatened. There were two ways
to avert this peril and ito restore
equilibrium-either to win back
Roumania for the central powers
and to aim, via Bucharest, at an
agreement with Serbia, with whom
Bucharest was in close relations, or
to seek in Bulgaria counterpoise
to the ententophil group in the Bal
kans.
"How far removed the Vienna
Foreign Office was in June, 1914.
from the warlike intentions imputed
to it is clear from the fact that in
the original draft of the memoran-
dunn the aforementioned plan was
contemplated. Only after the Ser
aievo murder had given fresh evil
deace of the aggressive Serbian ten
denotes was this idea dropped, and
in the memorandum dispatched to
Berlin it was chiefly the second idea
that was discussed and supported"
II will be seen that the Foreign
Office personage's story is absurd
on the face Of it, and that, is so far
as the memorandum DEATH with re-
lations with Roumania and Bulgaria
respectively, that can only have been
question subordinate to the plot
for making war against Serbia.

Farmers of the State.

the states hay crop for last year
was worth $l18,033,37o. This esti-
mate does not take into considera-

shows that of the spuds grown for
commercial purposes l0,497 1898
bushels were sold at an average of
80 cents a bushel on the farms,
bringing $8,3o8,398.
Poultry is found on every farm
within the borders of the state, and
this poultry, with the eggs, has been
a money-maker for the farmer, it
being estimated that the sales Mast
year aggregated $50,0O00OO.
Butter, milk and cheese. accord

apples last year. Sold at 81 a
bushel, they were worth altogether

The seed growing industry was
worth talking about for it yielded
returns aggregating $2,000.000 and
the commercial canning plants turn
ed out goods to the value of
$2,500000.
People in the city do not realize
that out in the state there is any
production of the old time sorgum
syrup. However, this is really a
considerable industry, for last year
the output was 10000 gallons and
this sold at $l.20 a gallon. 1t was
worth $4,000.

Growing popcorn may seem likeaa
waste of time, but last year the
farmers found it a profitable crop.

of $4,000.
Onions amounted to something of

London, May 4.-Little atten-
ton seems to have been attracted to
statement made in speech in
Vienna by the German-Austrian
Foreign Secretary DR.. Otto Bauer.
According to the Neue Freie Presse,
Herr Bauer said:
Three counts-Berchtold, Stur-
gkh and Tisza, and general, Con-
rad Yon Hotzendorff, in June, 1914,
when all was. peace, worked at a
memorandum which was to repre-
sent to the Emperor Francis Joseph
and the Emperor William the neces-
sity, in view of the efforts of the
Southern Slavs for separation, OF
war with Serbia. This memorandum
was not delivered to the two en-
perors because the Serajevo murder
happened soon afterward, and this
made it superhuous to provide any
excuse for war. The ultimatum to
Serbia followed. This ultimatum
was drafted six times, and the sew
enth draft was at last the text which
it was assumed that the Serbians
could not accept"
DR.. Bauer's statement about the
seven drafts of the Austrian ulti-
matum is new, and it does not seem
that anybody has been found to de.
ny its truth. Nor is there any de-
NAL of the statements that Berch-
told, Sturgkh and Tisza prepared a
memorandum for the two emperors.
The Neue Freie Presse of January
II printed the text of two documents,
comparison Of which is ,damning evil
dence. The first is copy, sent to
the journal by Marshal Conrad, of a
letter which he addressed to Herr
Bauer on January Is, as follows:
With reference to your published
speech, l beg to be allowed to as
sure you that all the functionaries
whom you mention would have been
only too happy if an appropriate
constitution had relieved them of the
responsibility for the conduct of pol
icy, especially when questions of
special gravity were concerned. But
the provisions then existing made it
their duty to bear the heavy burden
and to act to the best of their
knowledge and conscience.
For the rest, after the now clear
fy exposed aim of the entente and
its satellites. there can scarcely be
any further doubt about the ques-
ton who deliberately worked for
war and ultimately brought it
about"
1t will be observed that Marshal
Conrad tacitly accepts Herr Bauer's
assertions, and only makes the
ridiculous claim-duly exposed by
the Socialist Arbeiter Zeitung in an

Boards In Ukraine 0. K, But
Not In Chicago Electric Plant

Chicago.-Years ago. when Joe
Bocl,na came out of the Uk aine. his
chin was festooned with the first
curling tendrils of maturity.
In that land where a mans spir-
tual progress is registered by the
length of his beard Joe was looked
Upon as q promising youngster. The
villagers allowed he would be a
saint, that is, If the BARRIERS did not
get him. And in the Ukraine the
barber is not.
Joe came to this country, where
he groomed his beard until it grew
and grew and grew, finally reaching
length where it made a practical
napkin or bib. Then he. went to
work in the plant of the Westing-
house Electric company.
He soon found the beard. so much
admired in the Ukraine, did not
make such hit in this country. Two
fellow employees caught him-clip,
clip--Joe was as beardless as a
school boy. Joseph Miller was &C
cused, arrested and is now at liberty
under 5000 bond.

Last year The gross income from
Nebraska farms aggregated $444,.
1857 ,493, notincluding the live stock
poultry, eggs, butter and cheese
which were sold and brought $780,
100000 more, making 4 total OIL
SOS, 68o, 4o3 This is the approx
innate annual income from Nebraska
farms, which are becoming more
valuable each year.
Corn is king in Nebraska. This
is apparent when it is taken into
consideration that last year, while
the yield was only an average, il
aggregated 23,2o8,64o bushels. Il
sold at an average of $l.30 bushel
which is shockingly low. The crop
was worth $l60, 288,243.
Figures relative to Nebraska
compiled by Manager Thomas Of
the bureau of publicity of the Oma-
ha Chamber of Commerce, shows
that hogs followed corn in the mat
ter of producing revenue. Careful
estimates made by county agents
and by county assessors indicate
that last year within the state there
were 100000 of these animals. Es-
timating that they were worth an
average of $50 each to the farmers,
they represented total valuation
OF $l20,000000.
Wonderful Revenue Producer.
The winter wheat grown in Ne
braska last year was another won
derful revenue producer. The yield
aggregated 33,520,047 bushels, and,
figuring this at the low price of s.
bushel, it was worth $67, 040, 094.
Then there was the spring wheat,
9,72l,793 bushels, worth $l9,443, $50,
making a total Of $50, $500 for
wheat alone.
The oat crop of the state was an
important item, the yield having
been 56,2l5,487 bushels. 1t sold at
so cents bushel, and thus meant a
matter of $33,72o,2o2 to be added to
the bank accounts of the Nebraska
farmers.
Riding through the state by train
or automobile, the casual observer
would never believe that the hay
adds any material sum to the wealth
of Nebraska. 1t does, however, and
its value is right up close to that of
the corn and the hogs. 1t is diff
cult to get an accurate estimate of
the hay production, but it is esti-
mated at 5,332,077 tons. While a
considerable quantity of this has
been fed on the farms and ranches,
still an immense tonnage has been
sold and shipped in all directions.
Hay at High Level.
Hay has been high the country
over and prices have scared to I'M
expected high levels, choice alfalfa
and upland being worth around $40
a ton, However, figuring it at all
average of $22 ton, which was a
pretty fair price early in the season,

Comrades Of the War
to Revive Traditions
Of the Old Germany

London.-General Won Freytag-
Loringhoven, author of Deductions
from the World War;" describes in
II Preussische Zeitung scheme
for forming all discharged soldiers
into unions OF comrades of the
NaF,Yy; officers in charge. who
cnuld then s'.at once and in the i'm
mediate future restore to the men
tie noble pride they had acquired
during the war, and SO tear away
The scales from the eyes of the ma
ton and give them a proper out
icok or the world"
He quotes the following saying of
the historian Treitschke:
A nation consists only of those
who are alive at any time but also
the dead members of the same tribe.
This is one of the verities that ma
tcrialist' would call mysticism. and
yet it is one of the most practical
of truths" y
The unions are to be in remem-
brance of the great past of Ger
ruany, and the memory of the past
is to rekindle the national spirit
anc prepare it for the future. What
that spirit is may be Inferred from
General Won Freytag- Loringhoven's
Enthusiastically German saying:
War has its basis in human ma
tire, and as long as human nature
remains unaltered wa. will continue
tc, exis::, as it has existed already for
thousands of years."
His CT rcluding words are:
1t is now time for such a league
OF remembrance to forge a spiritual
bond uniting all those who remem-
her the former glory Of Germany in
the midst of a sick people and a
sorrowful present. The memory
ust b preserved. and it will be

mine, were full Of the dancing lit

envy of the soldiers chances denied

script which had become anathema
to me.
A Brilliant Success.
But with his first words ! gave a
heartfelt sigh OF relief and as he
warmed to his subject | had hard
work to keep back happy, grateful
tears. For every word, from his
first sentence to his last, was
couched in snappy, crisp, masculine
English with no pretense about it.,
but of such virility and such abb
sorbing interest that his youthful
auditors appeared literally to be &C

I And yet, while no word of his
whole talk was mine, he frequently
referred in a swift, fleeing manner
to my manuscript and l soon dis
covered that had it not been for
that much abused paper, his speech
would not have been the brilliant
success that it was. W..
