AUSTRIA'S AMBITION AND
HATRED
For The Past Twenty-five Years Jealousy and Enmity Have Fed on
Other Austria Has Never Been Quite Able to Forgive Servia
Existing at All.
Philadelphia, Aug. 3. The North
American in discusing the onthreak
of hostilities between Austria and Ser
via, and in attempting to give the real
reasons for the war, says:
Austria has been quick to sieze the
assassination of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand as an opportuand his wife
Ferdinand and his wife as an oppor
tunity to vent the hatred and distrust
of years on the little neighboring
kingdom of bervia.
While the immediate cause of the
attack on Servia is the demand for
aration for the murder of the arch
duke and his wife, the duchess cf Ho
enberg, the ultimate causes are the
movement of the Hapsburg empire to
ward the south and the desperate ef
forts of the Serb race to regain com
plete national existence.
Ever since the repulse of the Turk
ish hosts from Vienna in 1863 by Po
land's armies under John Sobieski,
who came to the aid of the Hapsburgs,
the Austrians have steadily fought
their way southward, expecting ulti
mately to make their way to the
Aegean over the ruins of the Turkish
empire.
Apart from the deep sources of Ger
manic and Slav racial antipathy, the
hatred of Austria and Servia had its
begining in 1S78. when, by the Berlin
treaty, Servia obtained her indepen
dence as a state, while Bosnia and
Herzegovina, peopled by the very
flower of the Serb race, whose patri
otism had kindled the revolution that
humbled Turkey, were virtually given
over to Austria. Thus the Serbs,
newly freed from Turkey were arbi
trarily divided and part of them given
over to a yoke just as hateful as that
of the Moslem had been.
In obtaining her hoid on Bosnia and
Herzegovina and the Dalmatian
coast Austria attained the hicrhly im
portant advantage of a foothold on
the Adriatic, and at the same time de
feated Srrvia's aspiration for such an
outlet,
Through all the thirty-five years be
tween the Berlin treaty and the Balk
an war Servia struggled for a seaport,
and at every turn was checekmated
by Austria. To the failure to gain
this end Servia attributes her slow
commercial development and the diffi
culty of realizing on her resources.
The so-called "pig wars" and "poul
try wars" were an outgrowth of thi.--
systematic repression. Servia raised
large quantities of pigs and fowls of
a high grade, and if she could market
them rapidly, would find a valuable
export.
But Austria has steadily maintained
a ruinous quarantine regulation that
prevents the stock being transported
across her territory to market. The
result was that the Servian market
was glutted with these products and
the farmers receive no price at all.
Two cents for a chicken and five cents
for a ham would rouse the fighting
blood of any community.
Austria's ultimatum did not come
as a surprise to anyone who has fol
lowed its diplomatic manuevering of
the last 25 years. Austria has never
been able to forgive Servia for exist
ing at all, and Servia has always re
sented r.s big r-eighbor's stubborn op
pos'ticn to its own scheme for devel
opment. For twenty-five years jealousy and
enmity have; fen on each thor; for
twenty five ycas ?aeh has irritated
the other in a'l trie numbcvle:
ways known to ski led pol'fVaiK-; for
t wenty -five yea.-s -ach has been he'd
in check only by the pressure of out
side influences.
But now the tragic drth of the heir
aparent has put in Austria' hands an
excuse so powerful that, it dares to
use it as a weapon, while Servia, as
sured of the absolute loyalty and uni
ty of its people, and confident of the
backing of all the southern Slavs, is
only put in the position of having its
hand forced.
At first thought it would seem that,
considering the difference in size and
resources, any contest between these
two countries must be unequal. Aus
tria has enjoyed a long period of
peace, and posses a large and highly
trained army. Servia.on the other
hand, is only beginning to recover
from two costly wars. Although it
gained thereby the territory in Mace
donia that it had long coveted, it has
not yet had time to profit by it.
Servia is poor and its army is com
paratively small, hut it posses an
element of strength, the value of
which is doubled to it by reason of the
fact that the same quality is Austria's
creat weakness. The entire Srvian
people are a unit on any question of
national honor; the disloyalty of any
part of its army is an impossible sup
position.
On the other hand, the Austrian ar
my, like the Austrian empire, is made
up of many people of many minds,
and it is not possible to be quite cer
tain how it would conduit itself in a
war in which racial considerations
would be involved, an in a war with
Servia. In a war with Servia virtual
ly all the military operations would be
conducted in a territory populated al
most wholly by Serbs, a people tied
by the sympathy of common race and
tradition to the people Austria would
be fighting ties that are, to the
southern Slavs, many times more
binding than the slender political
threads that bind them to the Aus
trian empire.
In prosecuting a war against Servia
Austria has long known that it would
expose itself to the danger of arous
ing to open rebellion its entire south
ern Slav population.
Servia protested bitterly against
the annexation of Bosnia and Herze
govint by Austria. She carried her
warlike preparations to such a point
that her army virtually confronted
that of Austria on the opposite side
of the Danube. All that prevented a
serious war was the interference of
Germany, which held back Russia's
hand. -..
Defeated by the Germanic influence,
Servia waited for her opportunity. It
came with the outbreak of the Balkan
SERBS'
ARE CHIEF CAUSE OF WAR
Each
For
war, when, by a series of brilliant
campaigns, the Servians went straight
through Albania to Durazzo, thus
seizing the coveted seaport.
Austrian diplomacy succeeded in
snatching the seaport prize away
from Servia by setting up the M-iat
ed little kingdom of Albania as a
buffer. At the same time Austria
was able to prevent Montenegro, also
virtually a herb state, from maintain
invr hold on the hard won city of Scu
tari. Not even the highly desirable
portions of Macedonia that fell to
Servia's lot at the end of the war were
able to compensate her for the rage
and disappointment in the loss oi tne
footing on the sea.
Austria's irritation against Servia
is based chiefly on her belief in Ser
via's intentions to aggrandize herself
at the expense of Austria, and Aus
tria's belief in official connivance in
plots and schemes to alienate Austrian
subjects and so further Servia's ends.
PanSerb I nion a r actor.
Austria sees as the most powerful
enemy to her influence the Narodna
Odbrana, or Pan-Serb union. This or
ganization has as its aim the union
of the entire Serb race.
The Agram treason trials in Croa
tia several years ago, when the Aus
trian government failed utterly to
prove its contention of plots lamented
in Belgrade against :-. tiutnority
were probably the most prominent of
these proceedings, though there have
been endless riotings and arrests and
minor trials for which the union may
have been directly responsible.
The secretary of the society, Major
Milan Pribitchevitch. formerly an Aus
trian army officer, was mentioned in
the confession of the youth who threw
the bomb at Archduke Ferdinand. This
naturally has given Austria sufficient
ground on which to demand the entire
wiping out of this inflammatory so
ciety, the suppression of all its litera
ture and the punishment of its leaders.
Austria further claims that the pub
lic schools of Servia have been used
as an instrument for the instilling of
anti-Austrian prejudice, and asserts
that every branch of the Servian offi
cial service is honeycombed with plots
aimed against Austrian tranquility.
Until she seized on the murder of
the archduke, Austria was not able to
put her ringer on any tangible evi
dence of Servia's malefeasane. But
Servia's reprisals for Austria's high
ii.ii'.dedness were not less irritating
for being intangible. Austria has felt
for years that all Servia was a hot
bed of intrigue and conspiracy against
her, and she has recognized the slow
encroachment of the disturbing in
fluence centered there in her own ter
ritory. Servian officials admit that there
has been plotting but they refuse to
give these plots more importance
than the rioting of turbulent students.
With Servia's war strength estimat
ed at 240.000 men and Austria's at
2,000,000, there would seem to be lit
tle doubt of the outcome. But figures
cannot be relied upon, because there
are so many elements to be consider
ed. The dual monarchy has an army
common to both kingdoms, while, at
the same time, Austria and Hungary
each support a second line army, or
ganized and distinct from the common
army and from each other.
Politics of the various nationalists
of the empire has had its effect on
the army, and it has been only by
skillful management that it has been
at a standard that so important a
power must require.
The Servian army was, until the
Balkan war, an untried quality, with
the presumption against its efficiency.
The dramatic events of that war gave
it, however, a new rating, for the Ser
vian proved himself a splendid soldier,
and the organization of the army
proved surprisingly effective. It had
great power of expansion, while the
wonderful esprit de corps and the gal
vanizing effect of devoted enthusiasm
more than overcame formal defects.
The possible part which other Eu
ropean powers would play in the war
drama is of greater importance than
the problems of Austria and Servia.
Servia's population is only a little
more than 3,000,000, and the Serbs in
the Servia Irredenta of the dual realm
do nol number more than 4,000,000.
This total of 7,000,000 could be crush
ed by the vastly greater number of
Germans of Austria and the Magyars
of Hungary.
But other powers are too much con
cerned to hold aloof. If Germany and
Italy, as members of the triple' alli
ance, support Austria-Hungary, Rus
sia, backed by her partners in the
triple entente, France and Great Brit
ian, must be assumed to be resolute
ly opposed to the extinction of the in
dependent Slav nationality of the Bal
kans. The triple alliance is defensive, not
aggressve. Its members are bound to
help each other in certain cases of
attack from outside, but they are not
bound to aid in attacking others.
Moreover, Germany is bound to aid
Austria-Hungary only in case the lat
ter is attacked by Russia, and not if
she should be attacked by Servia.
But if Austria-Hungary should at
tack Servia, and thus incur an attack
upon herself by Russia, Germany
would be bound to come to Austria
Hungary's aid; while Italy would be
bound merely to maintain a friendly
neutrality. But if France joined her
ally, Russia, then Italy also would
have to enter the strife. The poten
tial sequence of events, therefore, is
for Austria-Hungary to attack Servia,
for Russia to come to Servia's aid and
attack Austria-Hungary, for Germany
to come to Austria-Hungary's aid
against Russia, for France then to at
tack Germany in aid of Russia and
for Italy to join her allies of the triple
alliance against France.
What . Great Britian would do is
problematical, but if there was dan
ger of Germany and her allies de
stroying the sea power of France and
Russia, as there might well be, it is
scarcely conceivable that the British
fleet would remain neutral or Idle.-

and an explanation of the courses.
The July number was styled as the
mid-vacation number and its purpose
was to set forth life at Elon College
as it really is during school months.
It contains many beautiful -dicto
graphs of the buildings, ball teams,
literary societies, etc. Elon College

regarding the school.
Claremont College.
This school is located at Hickory,
one of the prettiest towns in Western
North Carolina, and is a school for
young women ran under the auspices
of the German Reformed church.
While this school is not as widely
known in this section of the state as
some others, it has been drawing its .
patronage from the counties farther
west and from S. Carolina, Georgia,
Tennessee and other surrounding
states. Here the young woman re
ceives the most careful of attention
and life is as much like that of the
refined and well governed home as it
can be made. Located near the foot
of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where
the climate is temperate, makes it
an ideal place to spend the winter.
Courses in literary work, art, music,
erpression and domestic science are
maintained. The faculty is selected
with the greatest care. Special at
tention is paid to the religious life of
the students. All must attend church.
One hundred an forty dollars per year
pays for tuition, board, heat, lights
and room rent. For illustrated cata
log address President Joseph L.
Murphy, Hickory, N. C
Guilford College.
Over in Giulford county we find
Guilford College, which has for years
drawn a large patronage from Ran
dolph and surounding counties. Many
of Randolph's most prominent men
are graduates of this institution.
Nothing need be said of the former
work of this institution for its grad
uates are living advertisements of the
kind of work done. One special feat
ure of this college is economy and self
help. The students are taught the
art of saving and are offered all the
assistance possible to work their way
through college. Here are given six
courses in arts, sciences, music, do
mestic science, bookkeeping and bank
ing, expression, etc. The college has
all modern conveniences, ten well
equipped buildings and a large ath
letic field. For catalog and informa
tion address President L. L. Hobbs,
Guilford College, N.. C.
The A. & M. College.
The Agricultural and Mechanical
College in its growth, development,
and social usefulness has been al
most a revelation to our state. It la
just twenty-five years old this year
and is the youngest, by a good many
years, of our state colleges for men.
Its faculty now numbers sixty spe
cialists who were educated in the best
universities of America. Its enroll
ment of students, counting all courses
is 738. Its buildings number 26 and
in equipment are modern and practical
Randolph county has furnished a num
ber of young men for students in this
institution but the number should be
doubled this year. Send your boy to
the A. & M. this fall. Write to E. B.
