AUSTRIA FORCED war
Minutes Of Mutiny Of Privy coun-
Gil Reveal Secret. Il.
Count Won 6erchtold Solely Respon.
slbls for Outbreak Of -:
- Hostliities.

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 2, 1914, at which it was virtually
decided to begin war on Serbia. -
According to this publication the
ministry of Austria Hungary, especial
~ Count Leopold Won Berchtold,
foreign minister. was solely RESPONSE
bic 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 hay
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. ~ - H.. ..
, Count Won Berchtold thereupon said {:
Nov, Is the right moment because
Germany is ready to assist"
Count Tisza again warned, against
the danger Of a general European war
as a result Of steps which were con-
templated, whereupon Count Won
Berchtold said: "The opportunity is so
favorable that immediate action is
necessary" H. .-.s. .-<<--. - F.. #
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 a resort to arms.

RICHEST OF NATIONS
United States Is Put Far in Lead
by British Expert.
Germany Holds Second Place and Eng
a land Third, According to Pro-
fessor Stamps Statistics.

London.-While the brain might reel
at the many figures unloaded at q
meeting Of the Royal Statistical soci-
ETY., some interesting details as to the
worlds wealth can be extracted from
paper written by Prof. j. G. Stamp.
Comparing the prewar wealth and in
come of England, Germany and the
United States, Professor Stamp COM
putes the respective totals at:
Wealth. Income.
England .........$ u, 900 $11 25O OO0, 600
Germany ......... 81, 750, 900 1O75O, 900, 900
United States... 30, 100000 600 3625O, 000, 00O
On per capita basis also, America
comes out easily the richest country
in the world. The capital per head of
the population, according to Professor
Stamp, was, before the war: = +:
Capital Income.
England ................... $3.50 $3.50
Germany .................. 1,220 $50
United States ............. 2,12O $50
All these figures must be consider
ably inflated to obtain the current
years capital and income, but the In
crease would certainly be biggest In
the, case Of the United States, which
could boast atgleast treble it's prewar
wealth. - =. <2@Ci
: The thrifty habits Of the French ma
ton were reflected, said Professor
Stamp, in a capital Of $1,515 per head,
while Italy and Australia had only $64O
and $6O5, respectively. He computes
Japan's capital at $12, OO0, OO0, 600, or on
per capita basis, 1920 capital, and $50
income per head Of population. The
capital and income of Spain was prob
ably as low as any in Europe, the In
come per head not exceeding S55.
