Hollweg's position made It possible for
England to take the stand that he
refused to arbitrate OF the grounds that
it was beneath the dignity" of Aus
tria to accept the services of the four
great powers.
He telegfaphed on July q to Prince
Lichnowsky, then ambassador to Great
Britain:
1T is impossible for III in this dis
cussion with Serbia to summon our ally
before a European court Of justice"
On the same day, according to a re-
port of the Austrian ambassador in
Berlin, Jagow Is said to have warned
him against his government accepting
Grey's proposal for a conference.
Doubts might be entertained as to the
sincerity of Grey's proposal but such
doubts should not have been permitted
to cause its refusal. Such a course put
us in the position Of having refused to
mediate. The secondary mistake in
Berlin Of refusing the conference was
Just as great as the primary y OF
relying too much on the Discrimination
Of the entente to go to war. Bethmann
proved over-sensitive as to h dignity
of the Austro-H Hungarian state which
was not Identical with the German EN-
pire, but to whose future the policy OF
the chancellor chained us for life or
death.

GERMAN DEFEAT
tcontInued From Previous 1ssue.l

From the standpoint Of Germany,
when war first doomed, because Of Aus
trian ultimstum to Serbia, any mill
tary invasion of Serbia by Austria
should have been swift and impressive.
Only In that way could a result be
achieved by which the following nego-
tiauons could be more readily inaugu-
rated after a pledge from Serbia had
been obtained. For any advance at all
was fraught with far greater danger
than the originators Of the idea consid-
cred probable at that time.
On July 25, 1914. Serbia accepted the
demands of the Austrian ultimatum In
~ man and declared her readiness to
negotiate the rest, How far England.
Russia, France and Italy helped Austria
TO her certain diplomatic success BY
thelr pressure upon Belgrade, / do not
know, At any rate, 1t cannot be denied
that the reply Of Serbia showed an UNI
expected compliance and do not think
that the Austrian government showed
the right sense Of proportion when 1t
declared this reply unacceptable as a
basis for further negotiations.
The real reason for this attitude was
that Count Berchtold and Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg did not grasp

As Austria's honor had been saved, and
as Bethmann- Hollweg was ~endesvoring
TO prevent an European war, the danger
Of war could in all probability have been
regarded as averted, If Austria only had
been satisfied with her success. \ She
could have given to the Serbs a short
space OF time for an immediate fulfill
ment Of the desired concessions as a
condition for the negotiations OF the
other demands, even II international
supervision had been imposed.
The whole affair could have been
given the appearance OF the humiliation
of Serbia accomplished with England
consent, Germany's diplomatic victory
would have been complete. and the
world war would have been diverted.
In the light of experiences Of the
world war, the argument might now be
brought forward whether Germany
should not have come to an expedient
understanding with her neighbor pro-
yiding for the dividing up of the Austro-
Hungarian empire. 1t may be advanced
that this would have been better ma
terially for Germany. However, insofar
as he was actuated by the principles
of historical development and loyalty,
and was influenced by the inviolability
of the dual monarchy n the often
demonstrated capacity of the house OF
Hapsburg for alliances which were ben
eficisl to their allies, Bethmann-H oll-
veg was right. Having taken this view
it was necessary that Germany support
Austria in demanding adequate repara-
ton. Only thus could Austria again be
made a serviceable member of the triple
alliance and her inner decay arrested.

rying out the plans. Bethmann and
Rerchtold, in spite of the warnings OF
Count Tisza. were unable to conceive
that sufficient reparation might be OBJ
tanned otherwise than by military force

Mrs. Watts and what brought her to
this condition, and / took the back
track, so to speak, and learned that
she had been in and out of the
asylum some six or seven times, and
each time she was out she was in
the custody Of some member IF the
family, but never with the same ones
twice. 1t was always some other
member of the family that tried to
take care of her. Once it was her
mother, once sister, once brother
and when she was committed TO the
asylum the first time here in 1911
she had recently come from Montana,
where she had been committed twice.
When she was there she had recently
come from British Columbia. She
was not person of high intelligence,
and her record was one of poverty
and hardship. The cause of insanity
was given as having first lost her
mind at the age of thirty years, due
to fast child-bearing, poverty and
insufficient rest and nourishment,
and there were after effects of
diphtheria and scarletina.
She was the mother of seven
children, she was Indifferent as to
what became of her offspring and of
herself. She may have been sent

to get rid of her, and may have been
sent from Montana to Idaho to get rid
of her.
When insane people are found
within this state, they are committed
to the asylum, even tho they have
just arrived from some other state.
1t is cheaper to ship an insane person
in from any other state than to pro-
vide for the person for life, and why
should they not ship all of them to
Idaho! About s or 10 per cent of
these in our institution are made up
of this class, and they are still COM

fund for shipping them back, and
the superintendent has no means of
getting them back to where they be-
long.

was any defect in her physical health.

people say, and have probably said
myself, Where does all the tax
money go?" But when you look over
this list of institutions and depart
ments and remember that each one
is swarming with people doing the
necessary work, the same as every
store in your town is operated by a
corps of workers, you will think of
what lot of money it takes to pay
the help. But the cost of salaries is
small item in the total expense.
The goods and materials bought and
consumed by the state makes a
grand total like the supplies for an
army, and at first glance we always
suppose that only the necessary
goods are bought, and that they are,
of course, bought at the right prices.
Forget it.
Wasting Money Buying
If should take you down the line
of state purchases for any of the past
administrations, either Republican or
Democratic, and inform you of the
goods that were bought and the
prices paid for some of them, you
would resent having the working
people of a commonwealth taxed to
pay such bills. But If / should pub
lish some lists of goods bought with
state money that were not for state
purposes or that should have been
paid for by private funds if bought
at all, you would walk the floor and
swear, or feel like it, as you enter
tain visions of families on farms and
homesteads, deprived of common
necessities in order that the taxes
might be paid, and of working men
whose families are cooped up in little
cottages trying to make a slim wage
or salary supply mere food and
shelter while higher-ups waste tax
money buying luxuries for favorites
not entitled to cent.
If l were making my living or any
considerable part Of it, serving any
state administration or department,
might have to arrange a new job
for myself before l began to say
much about such waste, unless | felt
assured that the men in control we're
big enough and broad enough to
overlook the criticisms of their own
work and continue to patronize me
the same as before. But country

ing in the towns and villages and on
