AUSTRIA FORCED WAR.
Minutes Of Mutiny Of Priyy coun-
Gil Reveal Secret.
Count Won BerchtoId Solely Rsspon.
sIbIe for Outbreak Of
Hostilltles.

Vienna.-There were made public
from the archives Of the former Aus
tro-Hungarian government minutes Of
the meeting Of the privy council on
July z, 1914, at which it was virtually
decided to begin war on Serbia.
According to this publication the
ministry Of Austria Hungary, especial
ly Count Leopold Won Berchtold,
foreign minister. was solely RESPONSE
BILE for the outbreak Of hostilities.
The minutes show the meeting to
have been opened by Count Won Berch-
told, who pleaded for an immediate
resort to arms against Serbia, stating
that Italy and Roumania could be
compensated afterward for not hav-
ing been consulted beforehand"
Count Stephen Tisza, then Hungar-
ian premier, opposed the war, demand
ing that diplomatic action be taken
first and then that an ultimatum of an
acceptable nature be sent. Only In
case both failed would he have resort
ed to arms. ~
Count Won Berchtold thereupon said j:
Now, is the right moment because
Germany is ready to assist"
Count Tisza again warned against
the danger Of a general European war
as result Of steps which were con-
templated, whereupon Count Won
Berchtold said: "The opportunity is so
favorable that immediate action is
necessary"
I Finally resolution was adopted
that such far-reaching demands be
made Of Serbia that she could not full
fill them and thus way would be
opened to resort to arms.

Cutting the Nations Tire Bill.

"Forty makes Of motor tires were
submitted to the bureau of standards
by the office Of the quartermaster gen.
eral," writes Thomas H. Uzzell in Ev-
erybody's. "They were given labora-
tory durability runs after which they
were autopsied by the rubber special
lists. Their carcasses were cut up and
the pieces boiled, roasted, stretched.
The results were discouraging. Even
the best Of them seemed to suffer
from improper 'toughening.'
$50 into their little rubber-mill went
the experts, with notes furnished them
by the tire manufacturers, and pro-
ceeded to make up some tire rubber
which had the proper degree Of tough
ness. They succeeded. They passed
out the word: The trouble is that you
makers are not sitting your zinc oxid
before mixing 1t with the rubber com.
pound
"The makers began to sift. Better
tires resulted. Some $30,000,000 were
saved to the government. And today.
you are enjoying cut in your tire bill
by getting better tires-a result Of
that experiment with zinc oxid."

"Shirts are gradually gaining In popu-
larity among the Fijians. All kinds
of soft tennis shirts with collar and
pocket or collar and two pockets sell
freely. These shirts are usually worn
for dressy occasions. when the ma
tives are generally clothed In white

mand for khaki shorts and trousers.
The shorts are either plain or with
