The occasion which was made the pretext for the attack was the assassination on June 28th Of the Austrian crown prince in the capital of Bosnia, a province la the northwest of the Austrian empire adjoining Servia and for milly annexed to the Austrian empire in 11X)8. The assassin was a Servian. Austria declares that the assassination was the re suit of an active conspiracy of Servians. Following the assassina tion she made demands upon Ser via which were equivalent to an ultimatum. Servia replied, as gentling to all the demands of her greater neighbor, excepting one; 'namely, that Austro-Hungariau Officials be permitted to sit on boards of inquiry regarding cas es of conspiracy of Servians ar gainst Austrian. A government (which permits officers of a for edgn power to Bit in its own courts cannot long preserve its dignity, autonomy or iudepend ence and Servia's refusal to ac cede to this jdemand appears but natural But why should the conflict be tween Austria Hungary and Ser via ho art tar- reaching in its ef V MVm W - fecta as to threaten, if indeed it has not already involved, all Eu rope? A hurried glance over the pages of history will give us the answer. The history of Servia can be traced back for fifteen hundred years. Her people are Serbs and belong to the same branch of the white race as do the Russians. The Serbs came into the Hainan peninsula in the middle ages with the Bulgars and both established strong empires in that region. In the fourteenth century the Turks invaded Europe and overwhelm ed both empires. They also con quered Hungary and besieged Vi ennn,, the capital of Austria. They were driven back before the walls of that city largely by the help' of the defeated but not con quered Servians. Servia, however, remained a Turktish province for several ten tunes alter tne inromuu mm f sion, indeed until 1878 when she was declared independent by the .treaty of Berlin. From that time the Turk's influence iu KurojK; has grown steadily less and a year ago the Balkan states (Ireece Servian and Bulgaria, succeeded tfn driving Turkey into Constanti nople. Had there then been a federation of the Balkan HtatR it would have enjoyed the protec tion of Europe just as the Swiss . federation does aqjd the present conflict might have been avoided. Small jealousies, ' however, pre vented this alliancei, as each of the States wanted to be the head of the proposed federation. Bosnia, where the assassination of the Austrian crown prince oc curred, was until its annexation in 1908 a Servian province as was also Herzegovina. The an 'nexation of these provinces by Austria, cut Servia ofT from the sea coast and strengthened the suspicion long felt that Austria desired to make of Servia a part of its dominion. Imperial Austriai often called Austria Hungary, as pointed out in the Current Comment column f this newspaper in the issue of July 14th, in a constitutional mon archy. The two States are noini nally independent and have been led to join forces from the fact Servia was not to be expected.

SAVINGS BANK AND TRUST CO any toward ascendency in the Bal kans is hardly believable. After Russia conies to the aid of Ser via then Germany must fly to the help of Austria. After Russia and Germany are drawn into the conflict it is hard to see how Eng land and Frame can stay out of it. Indeed, hostilities between France and Germany, as Btated in the last issue of the Advance, have already begun. At first glance it would ap iwar that France had less con 'cern in the contest as to who shall have ascendency iu the Bal kans than any European nation. But France is still smarting ov cr her defeat at the hands of Prussia in 1871) and over the loss in that war of the provinces of Alsace-Lorraine. She has long sought opportunity to measure her strength again with Genua ny in the hojte of acquitting her self with better credit. That she would remain aloof, therefore was not to be expected aud now that Germanv, realizing this, has taken the aggressive, violated the neutrality of Luxemburg and in vaded French territory, it is hard lv to be conceived. At thrift writing. Englantcl alone remains aloof and with each pas sing day her aloofness grows less perceptible. Already she has de clared that if the French coasts are attacked England will not re main neutral. On the other hand Rhe does not commit herself to Germany's suggestion that Rhe will remain neutral if the French coasts are left free from attack Italy, is the most uncertain fac tor in the struggle. Italj is in alliance with Germany and Aus tria under much the same terras that England, Franca, and Rus sia are allied. Therefore, in the event that England comes to the help of her allien, no doubt Italy will be called to the ad of ners But Italy's freedom was gained largely through the help of Eng land, and the power that crnsnea Italy under its iron heel was none other than this same house C.
