BEST SERVICE so FAR.

One transportation system in a city is
enough, provided it meets the needs OF
those who must travel every day.
San Juan is handicapped at present
because the street car service is not
rapid enough 20 carry all those who
want to ride.
With double tracked systcm, the
street cars operating ovor reserved
right-of.way, there will be, the rapid
service required to satisfy the 25,OOo
people, or more who use some means
OF transportation every day.
Street car service, well regulated to
meet the public's needs, has proven to
be the best and most satisfactory
means OF city transportation yet dew
eloped.

Who killed Franz Ferdinand?

We do not fully know what
the Archduke said to the Kaiser
in the famous Konopischt inter
view shortly before his assassi-
nation. But we do know that
the Germans and the Magyars
were interested in getting him
out of the way. A cable dispatch
some few days ago said that
the former chaplain of Franz
Ferdinand had declared that the
plot to assassinate him was de-
vised in Budapest. Certainly
no Jugoslav of the empire had
much Of an incentive to kill the
best friend of his race among
those in power ;since Russia had
one failed to support the Ju-
goslavs against the Hapsburgs
and might fail again, it might
have seemed in 1914 that a, pro-
Slav Archduke ought to be care
fully preserved. There was
some incentive for Serbs of the
kingdom to plot against him;
but the incentive was far stron-
ger men in Budapest or Ber-
lin. A secret trial and a heavy
censorship kept us from learn
ing much except the sentences
imposed on the Bosnian scape-
goats; but some day we are H.
kelly to find out just who plann-
ed the murder which was used
as the excuse for a war that the
Germans had long wanted.

COFFEE THE STAFF
OF LIFE.

An echo from "Orcr Therc'.
During the hacking struggle
the French Command found cof
fee the most sustaining food.
1t was the staff of life in the
trenches and the whole West
Front where the Allies pcrfor-
med such immortal deeds TO save
freedom and civilization. Shells,
pOiIus and coffee saved Ncrdun.
Coffee is winning its way
through the world as the bene-
VIOLENT autocrat of the breakfast
table. To nourish, sustain, up
hold the zest of life, the fighting
edge, nothing approaches this
favOrite beverage of the worlds
greatest brain workers from Ma
pole0n. Balzac, lola, to Joffre
and FOch.
As coffee comes i'll, alcohol
goes out.
1t is the cheapest food product
at less than a cent cup. The
ever increasing demand causes
great improvement in culture
and blends. The coffee to morrow
will be real ambrosia.

knew already. He disliked the
Magyars and was disliked by
them; he was friendly to the
Slavs; he dreamed of an Austria
that could play her own game
without dependence on Germa-
ny. That Franz Ferdinand
wanted to break away from the
Hohenzollern control is proba-
bic enough; even his much feeb-
ler nQphef Karl made an effort
to do so, an effort which issued
in the publication of the famous
Dear Sixtus" letter and Karl's
promise to be very good there
after. Franz Ferdinand was a
stronger man and would have
been harder to handle.
Czernin indicates that he was
already laying his plans to free
Austria from subservience to
Germany, and he supports the
evidence which we already po-
ssessed that he was strongly
opposed to, and by, most Of the
Magyar aristocrats. Czernin as
yet has said nothing about the
federalism or trialism which
Franz Ferdinand was supposed
to favor, but he has made it
clear that the Archduke was
highly dissatisfied with an en-
pire which was ruled by a group
of Magyar mobiles, subject to
occasional interference from
Berlin.

(From The New York Times.)

(From The New York Times.)
Mr.. Creel's summary of the
diary of Count Czernin obtain
ed in Prague by the Committee
on Public Information, and such
installments of the document as
have already been published, do
not supply us with anything
very important which we did
not already know or suspect.
But there is much of interest
and much that is valuable as
corroborative evidence. Of cour-
Sc, allowance must be made for
the personality of Czernin, a
gentleman with a Czech name
who apparently regarded him
self as a Czech in 1906, but GER
tainly regarded himself as a
German during the war, and had
not least sympathy for Czech
nationalism. A private doou-
ment intended for the refresh
ment of his memory would per-
haps be somewhat less careless
with the truth than Czernin's
public utterances; but the for
mer Foreign Minister was more
distinguished as one VIII o
thought up bright ideas than as
u solid student Of conditions in
Austria Hungary, so things may
not have been wholly as he saw
them.
What he says about Franz
Ferdinand, however, in a gene
raj way accords with what we

through the irresponsible action
of great and powerful nations,
have in the past SO often been
violated.
"The clear utterances of Pre-
sitlent Wilson and of Mr.. Lloyd
George regarding the right Of all
nations, great and small alike,
to restitution of injured rights
and to self determination, have
convinced Dutch-speaking South
Americans that their case des-
elvcs earnest consideration and
that they have an equal right
with all other nations to the prac
tical application of the pl-inci
pies so clearly cnunciated.
"AccOrdinsly was felt to be IA
duty which they owned to their
individual existence as a nation,
to urge the justice of their cause
before the British Governments
and the Peace Conference and
not allow this unique opportun-
ity to pass without stating their
case"
