THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS COMPANY
[Copyright, 1914, by The Chicago Daily News Company.]
PREFACE.
In this issue of The Almanac and Year-Book, in addition
to the regular statistical and other annual features, much ma-
terial relating to the European war is presented. The conflict,
in respect to the number of persons affected and cost in men
and money, already ranks as the greatest in history, and many
questions, especially as to its origin and early progress, will
come up in the future. It is with a view to answering such
questions that most of the war data given in this volume have
been compiled. Attention may be called to the fact that the
diplomatic and other correspondence, issued in the form >ef
official "papers" or "books" by Great Britain, Germany, Rus-
sia and Belgium immediately following the outbreak of hos-
tilities, is published in full. The "Yellow Book" issued by
France appeared too late to be added to the others, but the of-
ficial summary of the conclusions reached is given. Informa-
tion relating to the armed strength of the belligerents, loss of
life and property, the use of airships, submarines, automobiles
and wireless telegraphy by the armies, naval operations, effect
of the crisis on the markets of the world, action taken by the
American congress and President Wilson, strategy of the com-
batants, gigantic war loans and numerous other features of
the struggle will also be found in shape for ready reference. A
chronology carried up to the latest possible date and a pro-
nouncing gazetteer of places most frequently mentioned in the
dispatches from the various war zones have been added.
The story of the trouble between the United States and
Mexico, involving the capture and temporary occupation of
Vera Cruz, is told at some length.
Important laws passed by congress at its long and event-
ful session are given in full or in summarized form. The new
internal revenue, act, with its list of special and stamp taxes to
meet the deficiency in the national receipts caused by the war
in Europe, will also be found.

of the 140th year of the independence of the
United States.

ginning now Jan. 1.

CHRONOLOGICAL CYCLES.
Dominical or Sunday letter C
Epact or moon's age, Jan. 1 14
Lunar cycle or golden number 16
Solar cycle 20
Roman imlietion 13
Diouysian period < 244
EXPLANATORY NOTE— The Dominical letter or
letters (two for leap year), or Sunday letters,
indicate the day of the year on which the first
Sunday occurs, the first seven letters of the al-
phabet being used. Thus, for 1914, the Domini-
cal letter is D, the fourth letter of the alphabet,
and hence the fourth day of the year will be the
first Sunday of the year. In leap years two let-
ters are used, the first being for January and
February, and the latter, being the preceding
letter, answers for the last ten months, in order
to maintain the cycle. The rule for obtaining
the Dominical letter for any year is somewhat
complicated and for that reason is omitted here.
The Golden Number is that number of a oyclo
of nineteen years which shows how many years
have elapsed since the new moon fell on Jan. 1,
for in nearly nineteen years the solar and lunar
years nearly come together. The chief use of
this cycle is in fixing the date of Easter, and in
this same connection Is used the Epact, The
elapsed since the days of the week fell on the
same days of the year, or when there will,
therefore, be a recurrence of the Dominical or
Sunday letter. This would be the case every
seven years but for leap year, hence four times
seven is the cycle, or twenty-eight years. It is
the remainder found by adding nine to the year
and dividing the sum by twenty-eight. The Ro-
man Indiction is a cycle of fifteen years and is
of no utility except to chronologers. It is the
remainder found by adding three to the year and
dividing by fifteen. The
g thre
Julian
period is a cycle
of 7,980 years and is the product of the three
cycles, Golden Number (19), Solar Cycle (28) and
Roman Indiction (15), and hence shows the time
when these cycles will coincide, or begin at the
same time. The first of this cycle will be com-
pleted in the year 2267; It is the year + 4713.
The Dionysian period Is a cycle of 532 years and
is called the great Paschal cycle, bei^g the
product of a completed solar and lunar cycle
(28X19). It is the remainder found by adding
457 to the year and dividing by 532, and with the
Julian period Is chiefly used by chronologers.
The Jewish Lunar cycle is always throe less than
the Golden Number and is used by the Jews In
(13)
fixing the time of their festivals.

NOTE — To ascertain any day of the week first
look In the table for the year required and under
the months are figures which refer to the corre-
sponding figures at the head of the columns of
days below. For example: To know ou what
day of the week July 4 was in the year 1895, In the
table of years look for 1895. and in a parallel
line, under July, Is figure 1, which directs to
column 1, in which it will be seen that July 4
falls on Thursday.
*17c2 same as 1772 from Jan. 1 to Sept. 2.
From Sept. 14 to Dec. 31 same ns 1780 (Sept.
3-13 were omitted). — This Calendar is from Whit-
ak'-r's London Almanack, with some revisions.

ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
CHART OF THE HEAVENS.
Scale of Magnitudes.
in*
EXPLANATION — The chart of the heavens shows
all the bright stars and groups visible In the
United States, Canada, Cuba and Hawaii. Stars
of the third magnitude arc sometimes shown In
order to complete a figure.
If a bright," uncharted body be seen near the
"ecliptic circle" it must be a planet. To lo-
cate the planets or moon, refer to the monthly
cali'iidar pages in this almanac, find the proper
signs on the chart in the "ecliptic circle" and
an Inspection of that part of the heavens, com-
paring with the chart, will serve to identify
the planet and all surrounding objects.
Because of the earth's motion from west to
east (opposite to the direction of the arrow in
the chart), the stars rise 4 m. earlier each day
or 30 m. per week or 2 hrs. a month. The
chart shows the position at 9 p. m. Then if thi-
position for any ot&er hour be desired, as for
7 p. in., count ahead one mouth, or back ono
month for 11 p. m., and so on tor any hour of
tue night, holding the montn desired in front
as the face looks eltner to the north or south
with name down.
A circle descrloed from the zenith on the
••zenith circle" for tne desired latitude with a
radius of 90 degrees (see graduated meridian)
will show wnat stars are above the horizon.
Thus Capella is near the overhead (zenith) point
on latitude 4u degrees nortn Jan. 15. 9 p. m..
as will be "big dipper" at 3 a. m. Then from
Capella or Algenib all the surrounding visible
groups can be identified. The "pointers," being
5 degrees apart and always in sight, may be used
as a convenient unit or measure: also when
visible, the "belt of Orion." 3 degrees, or the
sides of the "square or ijegasus."

STORY OF OUR WORLD FAMILY FOR 1915.
THE SUN— Mighty as the sun seems to us—
and it is more than 1,000,000 times the size of
our earth — an astronomer, aided by the most
powerful telescope known and stationed on the
nearest of the ttxed stars, would be unable to
see it. If, however, it were possible to see the
sun, it would appear as a dim -star with a
varying degree of brightness, due to the partial
interception of Us light by the giant planet
Jupiter. The influence over our meteoric condi-
tions of the sun during a maximum of sun spots
was abundantly illustrates in 1914 and will con-
tinue Into 1915.
The planets are bodies which revolve about the
sun and borrow most of tbeir light from it.
while the stars are similar to our sun. each
shining by its own light and probably surrounded
Dy a family of planets and comets. Neverthe-
less, at certain periods the planets are desig-
nated as evening and morning stars. An in-
ferior planet (one whose orbit Is within that of
the earth) can never shine all night, as do the
superior planets when opposite the sun. A su-
perior planet is called an evening star, in this
almanac, when it rises before midnight.
THE FAMILY OF THE SUN.
1. Mercurv.
2. Venus.
3. Earth, with one moon.
4. Mars, with two moons.
5. Asteroids, about 700.
6. Jupiter, with seven moons.
7. Saturn, witn nine moons.
8. TIranus, witn lour moons.
9. Neptune, witn one moon.
10. f'/omets, about 500.
MERCURY— Will be brightest and easily seen
as an evening star Feb. 1 to 7 and Sept. 27-Oct.
5, setting in about the same place as the sun
and near the close of evening twilight: also
March 16 to 23 and Nov. 3 to 10 as a morning
star, rising about the time of the beginning of
the morning twilight. He will be practically in-
visible at all otner times. INO one need err as
to the identity or tnis planet, for at the above
named periods he will be the brightest body in
tne vicinity. He can only be seen by seeking
ror him at the right time and place, unless the
sun's light be hid in eclipse.
VENUS— Will be brightest as a morning star
Jan. 1 to 10, when just west of the noted red
star Antares, in Scorpio. When viewed at this
time with a small telescope or good opera
glass she will appear as shown in figure "0"
ot the annexed cut with the concave side of her
crescent away from the sun. All her phases and
variations in apparent size are shown in this cut.

As seen in the morning
west of sun.
Explanation:
As seon in the evening
east of sun.
A — Fifteen days before superior conjunction
with the sun. Aug. 27, 1915.
K— At greatest elongation west of the sun,
about Feb. 6, 1915.
f* — When brightest as a morning star. Jan. 2.
1915.
D— Just after inferior conjunction with the sun;
not in 1915.
E — Fifteen days after superior conjunction with
tne sun, Sept. 27, 1915.
F— At greatest elongation east of the sun,
about April 20. 1916.
G— When brigntest as an evening star: not in
1915.
H— Just before inferior conjunction with the
sun; not in 1915.
As will be seen by the chart "Visibility of the
planets" she will continue to recede from the
sun until Feb. 6, wuen sue will be at her great-
est angular distance west of the sun, 46" 54'.
The reason she does not increase in brilliancy up
to that time is that she is running away from
us too rapidly. From Feb. 6 she will gradually
approach the sun until she becomes invisible in
September, being at superior conjunction Sept.
12, and when last to be seen appearing as at A.
Then when she is first visible on the other (east)
side of the sun as an evening star, she will ap-
pear as at K. From then on to the end of the
year she will grow brignter as sne approaches
tne earth ana recedes rrom the sun, being very
orlght at tne ena or tne year.
The conjunctions or near approaches of Venus
10 the moon during tne time sne is rainy
bright will be as follows: Jan. 12, 9° north;
Feb. 10, 7° north; March 12, 3° north: April 10.
2° south; May 11 and June 10, 6° south; July 10.
4° south; Nov. 8, 4° north, and Dec. 8, 1° north.
She will be close to other planets as follows:
Uranus, March 19, 1° 10' north; Jupiter. April 15,
9' north; Mars, May 14, 56' south, and Saturn,
July 17, 38' north. Her very close approach to
Jupiter on April 15 will make a pretty sight.
While their neatest approach takes plnce before
they are above the horizon in the United States,
they will be so close at rising and for some
time after they wi'.l appear almost as one very
bright body. The apparent diameter of the moon
is about 30' hence their distance apart (about
9') will be about one-third the apparent diameter
or the moon.
Venus' itinerary, for the time she is conspicu-
ously visible, will be as follows: Jan. 1 in Scor-
pio -close to Beta Scorpio, and nearly midway
between the Square of Libra and the red star
Antares. From Feb. 10 to 20 sne will be sailing
along westward just north of the Milkmaid's
Dipper in Sagittarius. About March 5 to 10.
close to the bngnt stars in the head of the
Goat (Oapricornus) and by April 5 just south of
the Y in Aquarius; April 10-11, about midway
between the brignt stars in tne southern Fishes.
Fomalhaut and Markhab, which marks the south-
west corner of tne ureat Square of 1'egasus:
about April 24-26. In line with the east side of
tne Square of 1'egasus and about 10° south of
Algenib; about May 20-25, 10° south of the
brightest stars in Aries, Hamel and Sheratan,
in the bead of tne Kam; June 8-14, close to and
just about south of the Pleiades or seven stars,
also known as tne Seven Sisters, and from June
•M to 25 just north of the Hyades and Aldebaran
in the head of Taurus, the Bull; July 1, just
below Elnath, the southernmost star of the beau-
tiful five-sided figure in Auriga in the Milky
Way: about July 5, midway between Cape'la 20°
to the north and Betelgeuse, in Orion, to the
south. She will oe too near the sun for good
seeing until In November and December: Nov.
9-10 she will be back to tne place where she was
at the beginning of tne year, midway between
Antares and the Square of Libra, and in the
middle of November close to Antares; Dec. 5-10
she wl!l pass along the length of the Milk-
maid's Dipper, enaing tne year in Capricornus.
MARS — Will be too near the sun In January to
DP easily seen. He wi:i be west of the sun and
tnerefore a morning stir until Nov. 9. .when he
will begin his career as evening star, being at
that time 90° west of the sun, passing the
meridian at 6 a. m. and therefore rising near
midnight, and continuing as evening stnr the re-
mainder of the year. Look for a morning star
in the east and an evening star In the west.
°ur rule for fixing the morning and evening star
periods of the sunerior planets na<s been criti-
cised, but we believe the most consistent rule is
to call them evening stars when thev rise in
rno evening nonrs ana morning stars when they
rise in the morning.
Mirs will not attain, in this year, his greatest
degree of brilliancy possible or usual in a year.
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
but may be best seen In December. On May
12-16 he will be only about 1° north of the beau-
tiful Venus. The two, with Hamel and Sheratan
on the north, form a beautiful trapezoidal figure.
His conjunctions or near approaches to the moon
will be as follows: Feb. 12, 24' north; March 14,
2° south; April 12, 4° south; May 11, 5° south:
June 9, 6° south; July 8, 5° south; August 6. 4"
south; Sept. 4, 3° south: Oct. 2, 24' south; Oct.
31, 1° north; Nov. 28, 4° north, and Dec. 26, 6°
north. The conjunction of Oct. 2 will be an oc-
cultatlon between latitudes 11 north and 90 north
wherever the bodies are above the horizon near
the time of conjunction about 8:30 in the eve-
ning, or about three hours before they will rise
in the United States. Mars will be in an ex-
ceedingly interesting quarter of the heavens at
this time (Oct. 2) and thereabouts, viz., in
Gtmini, just south of the beautiful stars. Castor
and Pollux, and the cluster Praesepe about mid-
way between him and the Sickle, the Lion, with
Regulus at the end of the handle; Procvon will
be 10° south, and the glorious Sirius still farther
south and west. From Oct. 15-20 he will be
passing through the cluster Praesepe. and in
December through the Sickle, being in conjunc-
tion with the magnificent Regulus Dec. 12 and
only about 3° north or that star.
JUPITER— Will be a dim evening star at the
beginning of the year, soon becoming invisible
as he approaches the sun, which he reaches Feb.
24, after which he will reappear on the other
(west) side of the sun as a mftrning star, and
will so remain until about June 19, when he will
begin to rise before midnight, and will so con-
tinue until the end of the year. He may be
called an all night star also in September, when
brightest, when he will rise about sunset and
shine all night. He will be very close to Mars
March 23 in the early morning hours, being the
most northern, but the two appearing almost as
one body, making a very pretty sight. Again in
the morning of April IB he will have Venus for
a close companion.
His near approaches to the moon will be as
follows: April 11, 3° south: May 9, 4° south:
June 5, 4° south: July 3, Aug. 26, Sept. 22. Oct.
20, Nov. 1 and Dec. 13 the moon will pass about
5" to the north of Jupiter. When brightest in
September he will be just south of the great
Square of Pegasus, forming a neat triangular
ngure with MarKaii and Algenlb to the north
or him. (See chart or the heavens.)
SATURN— Will be nearly at his brightest and
may be best seen In January and December,
when he will rise near sunset and be an all
night star, nearly, being also an evening star
until June 28 or until he becomes lost in the
light of the sun weeks before that time. When
next visible, the latter part of July or in Au-
gust, be will be a morning star and will remain
such until early In October, when he will begin
nis course as an evening star, remaining such to
tne end of the year. A beautiful sight will
greet early risers in September, as Saturn and
Mars travel along in close company, being only
auout double the amount or tne moon's apparent
ammeter apart; Mars, the red one and farthest
north. Saturn's near approacnes to the moon
will be as follows: Jan. 27, Feb. 23. March 23.
April 19 ana May it, in an or wmcn the moon
will pass about 5° north of Saturn: also Aug. 7.
Sept. 4. Oct. 1 and 29, Nov. 25 and Dec. 22, in
all of which the moon will pass about 3° to the
north of Saturn.
Saturn is tne possessor or a magnificent and
unique set of rings, wnicn may oe better seen
this year than will again be the case in four-
teen years, or until lazs-1929. At this time the
southern faces or the rings are presented to our
I view; in 1900 it was tne northern surraces and
I in 1918 it will be the same. These rings
are inclined about 28" to the earth's orbit and
once in 15 years are eagewise to us, ana are
men InvisiDle tor a consiueraole time, even to
the best telescope, being only about 50 miles
thick and one billion of miles distant. Then
when the dark or unilluminated sides are toward
us they again disappear. These various phases
are shown in the annexed cut. It is be'.ieved
that they illustrate the world-building process,
an unfinished world, and that in time they will
be resolved into other moons to Illumine that
great planet.
SATUU.N A1NL) HIS RINGS.
URANUS— Will be brightest Aug. 1-14 and is
invisible to the unaided eye except at about that
time, when he may be just seen by knowing
exactly where to seek nim.
NEPTUNE— Will be brightest Jan. 10-26 and is
always invisible without optical aid.
COMETS — Several small wanderers of this class
were discovered in 1914, but none worth men-
tioning here.
ZODIACAL LIGHT— This phenomenon is a
glow or faint pyramid or light, most noticeable
in northern latituaes in tne evenings ot" Febru-
ary and March and the "mornings of October and
.November, shortly after sunset and before sun-
rise. Near the equator it has been observed as
late as midnight and extending entirely across
the heavens. A fainter "counter glow" is fre-
quently observed opposite the principal glow.
The light of the moon or even of a bright
planet renders the zodiacal light very feeble or
invisible. This is believed to be due to the re-
flection of sunlight on myriads of particles re-
volving about the sun as a thin ring something
like Saturn's rings, and extending to the orbit
of the earth or to that of Mars.
EXPORT TRADE IN FOUNTAIN PENS.
[From department of commerce report.]
In the year ended June 30, 1913, the United
States exported to about fifty foreign countries
309,200 fountain pens having an average whole-
sale value of $1.05 each. In the same year 49.-
500,000 ordinary metallic pens were exported.
Of the fountain pens exported 169,000 were con-
signed to England, 53.700 to Canada and 30.000
to France. Germany, Holland and Austria-
Ilungary were the next in importance as markets
for these pens. Considerable quantities were
also sent to Cuba and the British Wost Indies.
Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Oliile, India, Japan,
Australia and the Philippines. The same coun-
tries are in most cases the largest purchasers
of American metallic pens. Manufacturers in
this country use English and Swedish steel to
a large extent in the pen industry. Most of
the imported steel pens come from Birmingham,
England. A large proportion of the world's
supply of gold pens is made in New York city.

NOTE— On the chart of the heavens the hours
or right ascension and subdivisions are marked
on the margin, and inasmuch as the planets will
always be near or on the ecliptic circle it Is a
simple matter to locate the above planets at any
time on the chart. Thus on April 11 Venus will
be in right ascension XV1II%, and that point
on the outer circle connected with Polaris in-
tersects the ecliptic circle at a point just north
of the bowl of the Milkmaid's Dipper, and there
Venus will be seen in the middle of April. By
the same means Mars will be found close to the
Pleiades early in July and close to Regulus and
the Sickle in December.

Earth— The equatorial diameter of the earth is
7,926.5 miles and the polar diameter 7.899 5
miles; equatorial circumference, 25.000. The lin-
ear velocity of the rotation of the earth on its
axis at the equator is 24,840 miles a day or 1 440
reet a second; its velocity in its orbit around
the sun is approximately nineteen miles per sec-
ond, the length of the orbit being about 660.000.-
000 miles. The superficial area of the earth,
according to Kncke, the astronomer, is 197.108.580
square miles, of which two-thirds is water and
one-third land. The planetary mass is about
256,000,000 cubic miles.
FACTS ABOUT THE SUN AND PLANETS.
The sun's surface is 12,000 and its volume
1,300,000 times that of the earth, but the mass is
only 332,000 times as great and its density about
one-quarter that of the earth. The force of
gravity at the surface of the sun is twenty-seven
times greater than that at the surface of the
earth. The sun rotates on its axis once in 25.3
days at the equator, but the time is longer in
tne higher latitudes, trom which fact it is pre-
sumed that the sun is not solid, at least as to
its surface.
THE EARTH AND THE MOON.
Moon— The moon has a diameter of 2.162 miles,
a circumference of about 6,800 miles and a sur-
face area of 14,685,000 square miles. Her mean
distance from the earth is 238.840 miles. The
volume of the moon is about l-49th that of the
earth and the density about 3% that of water.
The time from new moon to new moon is 29
days 12 hours 44.05 minutes. The moon has no
atmosphere and no water and is a dead world.
Light travels at the rate of 186.300 miles per
second. It requires 8 minutes and 8 seconds for
light to come from the sun to the earth.

tExplanation: By the absolute scale of magni-
tudes stars brighter tbnn Aldebaran and Altair
are indicated by fractional or negative quanti-
ties: thus Vega 0.2 and Sirius —1.4. As the
magnitudes increase the brilliancy decreases,
each increase of a unit being equal to a decrease
or about two and one-halt In brightness.
To ascertain when any star or constellation
will be on the upper meridian add the number
opposite in the column "For Meridian Passage"
to the figures in the table on the following page
"Sidereal Noon." taking note whether such fig-
ures be "Morn." or "Eve." If "Morn." and the
sum is more than izn. the result will be Eve. of
same day; if "Eve." and the sum is more than
iZh. the result will be Morn, of the next day.

distances with the eye keep in mind that one-
third of the distance from, the zenith to the
horizon is 30°. For smaller measurements use
the belt of Orion, 3° long, or the sides of the
Square of Pegasus; the "pointers" in the "big
dipper," which are nearly 5° apart— a convenient
celestial yardstick because always to be seen,
in the case of a star whose dec. is such as to
bring It nearer to the zenith than to a horizon
at meridian passage, it will be more convenient
to use its zenith distance as a means of locat-
ing it. The difference between the latitude and
dec. is this zenith distance. If the dec. is
greater than the latitude then such distance is
to be -counted northward, otherwise southward
from the zenith.

SIGNS AND CONSTELLATIONS OF THE ZODIAC.
Until recently it was taken for granted that
the present relationship between signs and con-
stellations of the zodiac was generally under-
stood, as all astronomical textbooks mention
tneir disagreement and explain the cause. The
numerous letters of inquiry concerning differ-
ences between the data in this almanac and cer-
tain others show the necessity for this note of
explanation.
Thousands of years ago when the zocliac, that
belt of the heavens about 16° in width within
which move the moon and planets, was formed
and divided into twelve parts or seasons called
signs, each containing certain star groups called
constellations, each was given the name of an
object or animal which never did bear any rela-
tionship to the configuration of the stnrs in th:it
group or division, but which did or is supposed
to have referent to certain astronomical or
other fncts. Thus Libra = . the scales or bal-
ance, comes at the autumnal equinox when there
is an equilibrium or balance between the lencth
of day and nisrht the world over. Aouirius.
-. the water-bearer, whose sign is the Egyptian
sign for running water, comes at the season
of greatest rains In Egypt, and so on,
Since the time when these divisions were made
and named, owing to the precession of the equi-
noxes, resulting from the differing polar and
equatorial diameters of the earth, the signs have
moved back west nearly a whole division or con-
stellation and where T was the first, X now is.
Hence, though the sun now enters the sign T
Mnreh 20. it is a month later when he enters the
constellation T . It must be apparent, therefore,
that any supposed influence or relationship which
early astrologers attributed to the position of
the sun, moon or planets when in certain of
these divisions can no longer exist, as the sign
now only represents that space or division of the
zodiac where the controlling constellation was
2.000 or more years ago, hut Is not now. Never-
theless some almanacs still give the signs for
the moon's place, which is very misleading to
those who attempt to follow hor in her course
among the stars. Hence, this almanac gives the
constellation and discards the ancient picture of
the di«emboweled man as relics of the age of
superstition. The sign is retained for sun's place
in connection witu ttio seasons anrt sun's oatn
through the zodiac ea^h month because of its re-
lationship to the equinoxes and solstices.

planets named. Each of the small divisions rep-
resents 15° of arc or 1 hour of time. The width
of the light-colored space Is the measure of the
angular distance of the planet from the sun.

EXAMPLES — Venus will be about 3 hours or 45°
west of the sun at the first of January and
therefore rise 3 hours before the sun. Saturn
wilV shine nearly equa'ly in the evening and
morning hours: Mars only for 30 minutes in the
morning.

.
a morning star, which she will continue
until Sept. 11, or until she is lost in the
ing twilight somewhat before that time.
MERCURY ( a ) will be brightest as an eve-
ning star Feb. 1 to 7 and Sept. 27 to Oct. 5,
setting shortly after the sun, and near the same
place; also as a morning star March 16 to 23
and Nov. 3 to 10, rising about Ih. before the
sun and near tup sime point of the horizon.
He will be practically invisible at all other
times.
VENUS (9) will be brightest Jan. 1 to 10 as
morning star, which she will continue to be
morn-
. When
next visible she will be on the east side of the
sun as an evening star and so continue to the
end of the year, when she will set some two
Hours after the sun.
MARS (<7) will be too near the sun in Janu-
ary to be well soon. He will be a morning
star, being west of the sun until about Nov. 9,
when he may be considered an evening star.
and he remains so until tlie end of the year.
Ho will not attain his greatest brightness pos-
sible or usual this year, but will be best seen
toward the close of the year, and he will con-
tinue to increase in brightness until the latter
part of February, 1916, when he will be only
aoout one-tirtietn as bright as in 1907.
JUPITER (a) will be a rather dim evening
star at the beginning of the year, becoming in-
visible In February and March. Then he will
reappear on
.
other (west) side of the sun as
a morning star, and will so continue until about
the middle of June, when he will begin his
course as an evening star, remaining such to
the end of the year, though also called an all
night star during most of September, rising at
sunset Sept. 17, and brightest Sept. 12 to 22.
SATURN ( b ) will be nearly at his brightest
of the year at its beginning and close and may
oe best seen In January and December, being at
these times nearly an all night star. He will
be an evening star until June 28 or as long as
visible, for he will be Invisible for some w<>oks
before and after that date. When next visible,
the latter part of July or early in August, he-
will be a morning star and will so continue
until about uct. 1U. wnen be wru again be an
evening star and will so continue until the end
of the year.
URANUS (8) will be brightest Aug. 1 to 14.
NEPTUNE (v) will be brightest Jan. 10 to 26.
Both Uranus and Neptune are invisible to the
naked eye at all times.
NUMBER OF THE STARS.
According to the best astronomers the number
of stars that can be seen by a person of average
eyesight is only about 7,000. The number visible
through the telescope has been estimated by
J E Gore at 70,000.000 and by Profs. Newcomb
and Young at 100,000,000,

EXPLANATION— The small spaces represent 3 h.
of time or 6 h. In each the morning and eve-
ning, and the middle division Is the midnight
line. The light portions show approximately the
number of hours of moonlight and the dark the
reverse, in each night of the year. Thus in
January the 1st is all light, 5th dark until 9
p. m., 8th dark until midnight, nth dark until
?<,?,; S- a?,(? Sn the mh dark a11 nl*ht- On the
18th it will be moonlight until 9 p. m. : 23d to
midnight; 26th to 3 a. m. and 30th all night.
ECLIPSES IN 1915.
There will be two eclipses in 1915, both of the
sun, as follows:
I. Annular Feb. 14, invisible in United States;
visible in Indian ocean. Australia, etc.
II. Annular Aug. 10, invisible In U. S.; visible
in Pacific ocean, Asia, etc.
NOTE— All eclipses occur In series, the first one
of which will take place at one of the poles and
the last one at the opposite pole. The whole
number in a series of lunar eclipses covers a
period of about 865 years and in the case of the
sun about 1,200 years. Two is the least number
that can occur In any one year and seven the
greatest. When two occur both must be of the
sun, as this year, and when there are seven five
must be of the sun, as will be the case in 1917
and 1!»35.

Ihe full moon nearest to Sept. 21 Is popularly
known as the "harvest moon.'' This is because
the moon then rises, for several consecutive eve-
nings, at nearly the same hour, giving an un-
usual number of moonlight evenings. This is tho

disappears at the equator.
The "hunter's moon" is the first full moon
following the harvest moon.
BERLIN AND NEW YORK WIRELESS COMMUNICATION.
Wireless pross messages between Germany and
the United States were exchanged for the first
time Feb. 12. 1914. The stations used were at
Sayvllle. L. I., and Nouen, twenty-five miles
from Berlin. These are about 4,000 miles apart,
but little difficulty was experienced in reading
the messages at either end as the conditions for
transmission were declared to be perfect. On
the Invitation of the Atlantic Communication
company The Associated Press and a number of
newspapers sent greetings to the Berlin news-
papers, to the Wolff bureau, Kmperor William,
Ambassador .Tames W. Gerard and Mayor Wer-
muth of Berlin, cordial replies being " received
from all.
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOE 1915.
TIME AND STANDARDS OF TIME.
Various kinds of time are in use in this coun-
try:
1. Astronomical Time or Mean So'ar T:me— This
is reckoned from noon through the twenty-four
hours of the day and is used mainly by astro-
nomical observatories and in official astronomical
publications. It is the legal time of the domin-
ion ofxCanada, though "standard" and "mean"
time are in general use there as in this country.
2. Mean Local Time — This is the kind that was
in almost universal use prior to the introduction
of standard time. This time was based upon the
time when the mean sun* crosses the meridian,
and the day begins at midnight. When divided
into civil divisions — years, months, weeks, days,
etc. — it is sometimes called civil time.
3. Standard Time — For the convenience of the
railroads and business in general a standard of
time was established by mutual agreement in
1883 and by this calculation trains are now run
and local time is regu'.ated. By this system the
United States, extending from 65° to 125° -west
longitude,- is divided into four time sections, each
of 15°
hour (
commencing with the 75th meridian. The first or
eastern section includes all territory between the
Atlantic coast and an irregular line drawn from
Buffalo to Charleston. S. C., the latter city being
of longitude, exactly equivalent to one
°r 30m. on each side of a meridian),
its southernmost point. The second or central
section includes all the territory between this
eastern line and another irregular line extending
from Bismarck, N. D., to the mouth of the Rio
Grande. The third or mountain section includes
aJ the territory between the last named line and
nearly the western borders of Idaho, Nevada and
Arizona. The fourth or Pacific section includes
all the territory of the United States between
the boundary of the mountain section and the
Pacific coast. Inside of each of these sections
standard time is uniform and the time of each
section differs from that next to it by exactly
one hour, as shown on the map.
*Owing to the eccentricity of the earth's orbit
and the inclination of the equator to the eclip-
tic, the apparent motion of the sun is retarded
or accelerated according to the earth's place in
its orbit. Hence, to take the actual sun as a
guide would necessitate years, days and their
subdivisions of unequal length. Therefore an im-
aginary or "mean sun" was invented. The dif-
ference between apparent and mean time is
called the "equation of time" and may amount
to a quarter of an hour in twentv-four hours. It
is the difference between the figures in "Sun at
noon mark" column in calendar and twelve hours.
The figures on a correct sun- dial give the ap-
parent time.

It is obvious that to express the time of rising
and setting of the sun and moon in standard
time would limit the usefulness of such data to
the single point or place for which it was com-
puted, while in mean time it is practically cor-
rect for places as widely separated as the width
of the continent (see note at bottom of February
calendar), and persons having obtained the mean
time by the rising or setting of the sun or moon
may easily ascertain the correct standard time
of any event by making use of the following

ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOB 1915.
All the calculations in this Almanac and Year-
Book are based upon mean or clock time unless
otherwise stated. The sun's rising nnd setting
are for the upper limb, corrected for parallax
and refraction. In the case of the moon no cor-
rection is needed, as in the sun, for "parallax
and refraction"; with her they are of an oppo-
site nature and just balance each other. The
figures given, therefore, are for the moon's cen-
ter on a true horizon such as the ocean affords.
The calculations in each of the geographical
divisions of each calendar page will apply with
sufficient accuracy to all places In the contigu-
ous North American zones indicated by the head-
ings of the divisions.
The heavy dotted lines show the arbitrary
(standard) divisions of time in the United States.
The plus and minus marks on either side of the
meridian lines show whether It is necessary to
add to or subtract from the mean time of points
east or west of these lines to arrive at actual
standard time. Example: Chicago is 2%° east of
th<; 90th meridian; therefore Chicago local time =
21/2 x 4 = 10 to be subtracted from mean time to =
standard time, and for Boston standard (eastern)
time, 16m. must be subtracted from mean time.

WHERE FRUITS AND NUTS ARE IMPORTED FROM.
In 1913 the domestic food supply of the United
States was supplemented by $32,000,000 worth of
fruits and $16,000,000 worth of nuts from for-
eign countries and, in addition, more than $4,-
000,000 worth of fruits and nuts from Hawaii
and $3,500,000 worth from Porto Rico. A com-
paratively small number of countries supply
most of the fruits and nuts, other than those
of domestic production, consumed In the United
States. Bananas are exclusively from American
countries, .chiefly the British West Indies and
Central America; the imports in 1912 were
valued at $15,000,000, or almost double the figures
of 1903. Sicily supplied most of the $6,500,000
worth of lemons imported. We now import more
than 40,000,000 pounds of dates annually, chiefly
from Asiatic Turkey. Currants come principally
from Greece, from which country we import
from 30.000.000 to 40.000.000 pounds annually.
-Most of the 20.000.000 pounds of fies imported
annually come from a strip of land near Smyrna
about ninety miles long and less than one mile
wide, this being the world's chief dried-fig dis-
trict. We also import from 1,000,000 to 2,000,-
000 cubic feet of grapes, nearly all from Spain.
Spain rivals Asiatic Turkey as a source for our
imported raisins and exceeds Greece and Italy
In shipments of olives to the United States,
though Italy still supplies most of our imported
olive oil. The domestic orange has almost en-
tirely supplanted the Imported fruit, the few
oranges still being imported coming chiefly from
.Jamaica. In Hawaii the pineapple Is becoming
an important industry, that island having sent
us In 1913 $4,000,000 worth, or forty times as
much as in 1903. Cuba is also an Important
source, while pineapples are received from Porto
Kico in rapidly increasing quantities.
The so-called English walnut Is almost exclu-
sively the product of France, from which country
we import from 15.000.000 to 25.000,000 pounds an-
nually. Our imported almonds are mostly from
Spain and Italy; our filberts from Italy and
Spain; cream nuts from Brazil: cocoanuts in the
shell from Central America and the West In-
dies; cocoanut meat, or copra, from the Philip-
pines and other oriental islands, and peanuts
from Japan, Spain. China and in lesser Quanti-
ties from various countries in Europe, Asia and
North America.

ELECTRICAL UNITS DEFINED.
Ohm— Unit of resistance; represents resistance
offered to an unvarying electric current by a
column of mercury at the temperature of ice,
14.5421 grams in mass, of a cross-sectional area
of 1.00003 square millimeters and of the length
of 106.3 centimeters.
Ampere — Unit of current; decomposes .0009324 of
a gram of water in one second or deposits sil-
ver at the rate of .001118 of a gram per second,
when passed through a solution of nitrate of
silver in water.
Volt— Unit of electro motive force; one volt
equals one ampere of current passing through
a substance having one ohm of resistance.
Coulomb— Unit of quantity; amount of electricity
transferred by a current of one ampere in one
second.
Farad— Unit of capacity; capacity of a con-
denser charged to a potential of one volt by
one coulomb. A microfarad is one-millionth o'f
a farad.
Joule — Unit of work; equivalent to energy ex-
pended in one second by one ampere current in
one ohm resistance.
Watt— Unit of power; equivalent to work done
at the rate of one joule per second. A kilo-
watt is 1,000 watts.

THE MONROE AND
The "Monroe doctrine" was enunciated by
President Monroe in his message to congress
Dec. 2, 1823. Referring to steps taken to arrange
the respective rights of Russia, Great Britain
and the United States on the northwest coast
of this continent, the president went on to say:
"In the discussions to which this interest has
given rise, and in the arrangements by which
they may terminate, the occasion has been
deemed proper for asserting, as a principle in
which the rights and interests of the United
States are involved, that the American conti-
nents, by the free and independent condition
which they have assumed and maintain, are
henceforth not to be considered as subjects for
future colonization by any European power.
* * * We owe it, therefore, to candor and to
the amicable relations existing between the
United States and those powers to declare that
we should consider any attempt on their part
to extend their system to any portion of this
hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety.
With the existing colonies or dependencies of
any European power we have not interfered
and shall not interfere. But with the govern-
ments who have declared their independence
and maintain it, and whose independence we
have, on great consideration and on just prin-
ciples, acknowledged, we could not view any
interposition for the purpose of oppressing them
or controlling in any other manner their destiny
by any European power in any other light than
as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposi-
tion toward the United States."
DBAGO DOCTRINES.
DRAGO DOCTRINE.
When in the winter of 1902-03 Germany.
Britain and Italy blockaded the ports of Ven-
ezuela in attempt to make the latter country
settle up its debts Dr. L. F. Drago. a noted
jurist of Argentina, maintained that force cannot
be used by one power to collect money owing
to its citizens by another power. Prominence
was given to the contention by the fact that
it was officially upheld by Argentina and fa-
vored by other South American republics. The
principle embodied has become generally known
as the "Drago doctrine."
LODGE RESOLUTION.
In connection with the reported attempt of
Japan to obtain land for the establishment of a
naval base in Magdalena bay, on the western
coast of Mexico, the senate of the United States
adopted the following resolution Aug. 2, 1912:
"Resolved, That when any harbor or other
place in the American continents is so situated
that the occupation thereof for naval or mili-
tary purposes might threaten the communica-
tions or the safety of the United States, the
government of the United States could not
see without grave concern the possession of
such harbor or other place by any corporation
or association which has such relation to an-
other government, not American, as to give
that govenment practical power of control for
national purposes."

Aliens may become citizens of the United
States by treaties with foreign powers, by con-
quest or by special acts of congress.
In an act approved March 2, 1907, It Is .provid-
ed that any American citizen shall have ex-
patriated himself when he has been naturalized
in any foreign state in conformity with its
laws, or when he has taken an oath of allegiance
to any foreign state.
When any naturalized citizen shall have re-
sided for two years in tne foreign state from
which he came, or five years in any other for-
eign state, it shall be presumed that he has
ceased to be an American citizen, and the place
<>f his general abode shall be deemed his place
of residence during said years; provided, how-
ever, that such presumption may be overcome on
the presentation of satisfactory evidence to a
iliplomatic or consular officer of the United
States, under such rules and regulations as the
department of state may prescribe; and, pro-
vided also, that no American citizen shall be
allowed to expatriate himself when this country
is at war.
Any American woman who marries a foreigner
shall take the nationality of her husband. At
the termination of the marital relation she may
resume her American citizenship, if abroad, by
registering as an American citizen within one
year with a consul of the United States, or by
returning to reside in the United States, or, if
residing in the United States at the termination
of the marital relation, by continuing to reside
therein.
Any foreign woman who acquires American
citizenship by marriage to an American citizen
shall be assumed to retain the same after the
termination of the marital relation if she con-
tinue to reside in the United States, unless she
makes formal renunciation thereof before a court
having jurisdiction to naturalize aliens, or, if
she resides abroad, she may retain her citizen-
ship by registering as such before a United
States consul within one year after the termi-
nation of such marital relation.
A child born without the United States, of
alien parents, shall be deemed a citizen of the
United States by virtue of the naturalization of
or resumption of American citizenship of the
parent; provided that such naturalization or re-
sumption takes place during the minority of such
child; and, provided further, that the citizen-
snip of such minor child snail begin at the time
such minor child begins to reside permanently
in the Unlte'd States.
All children born outside the limits of the
United States, who are citizens thereof in ac-
cordance with the provisions of section 1993 of
tne Revised Statutes or tne United States (see
tibove), and who continue to reside outside of
the United States, shall, in order to receive the
protection of the government, be required, upon
reaching the age of 18 years, to record at an
American consulate their intention to become
residents ana remain citizens of the United
States and shall further be required to take the
oath of allegiance to the United States upon at-
taining their majority.

dent in their districts is conferred upon the

plication he has resided continuously within the
United States five years at least, and within
the state or territory where such court is at
the time held one year at least, and that during
that time he has behaved as a man of good
moral character, attached to the principles of
the constitution. In addition to the oath of the

nesses, citizens of the United States, as to the
facts of residence, moral character and attach-
ment to the principles of the constitution shall

ASSASSINATION OF JEAN JAURES.
Jean Leon Jaures, noted as a socialist leader
and orator, was assassinated Friday evenim,
July 31, 1914, as he was (lining in a small res-
tcurant near the bourse in Paris, France. He
was shot dead by Raoul Villain, 29 years of age
and son of a clerk of the civil court in Reims.
The assassin on being arrested said he commit-
ted the act because Jaures had betrayed France
in leading the campaign against the three year
military law. Occurring as it did in the midst
of the excitement over war preparations through-
out Europe ttoe murder caused -a sensation, par-
ticularly as the victim had been laboring ener-
getically to make war impossible.
M. Jean Jaures was born' in 1859 at Castres
and in 1885 entered politics as a conservative re-
publican. In 1889 he became a socialist and later
as a member of the chamber of deputies ac-
quired wide fame as the leader of his party and
as an opponent of war.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Capital punishment prevails in all of the states
of the union except Kansas. Maine, Minnesota.
Rhode Island, Washington and Wisconsin. In
Michigan the only crime punishable by death is
treason. The death penalty was abolished in the
state of Washington in 1913. It was abolished
in Iowa in 1872 and restored in 1878. It was
also abolished in Colorado in 1897, but was re-
stored in 1901. Hanging is the ordinary mode of
execution, but in Indiana. New York. Nebraska.
Ohio. Pennsylvania, Vermont and Virginia elec-
trocution is the legal method. In Nevada hang-
ing or shooting is optional with the condemned.

LOWEST POINT IN THE UNITED
STATES.
By a strange freak of nature the lowest
point of dry land in the United States Is less
than eighty miles from the highest. According
to the United States geological survey, the low-
est point is in Death Valley, California, and Is
276 feet below sea level. It is said that from
this place Mount Whitney, the summit of1 which
Is 14,501 feet above sea level and the highest
point In the country, can be seen on a clear
day.
DISASTROUS STORMS IN PARIS.
Paris, France, >was visited by one of the most
violent rain and thunder storms in its historv on
the evening of June 15, 1914. Eight lives were
lost and the damage to streets and buildings was
estimated at millions of dollars. The rain fell
for three hours in such torrents that several
streets and boulevards caved in. engulfing a num-
ber of passers-by. Water and gas mains burst,
while telephone and electric light wires were
broken. At the junction of the Rue la Boetle
and the Faubourg St. Honore 500 square feet of
the roadway heaved up and then sank, carrying
down a number of persons who had taken refuge
under a cafe awning. In the Place St. Augustin
a sectiori of the roadway collapsed under a pass-
ing taxicab, causing the death of the chauffeur
and a woman passenger. Many other cave-ins
occurred in the central part of the city.

DISASTER TO NEWFOUNDLAND SEAL HUNTERS.
One of the worst calamities in the history of
the Newfoundland sealing industry occurred
March 31 and April 1. 1914, in Belle Isle strait.
Four steamers were working in among the ice
floes on which the seals are found and about
1,000 men were scattered about killing the ani-
mals when at noon of March 31 a storm sprang
UP without any previous indication of its ap-
proach. Most of the sealers got back to their
vessels in safety, but the most of the men from
the steamer Newfoundland, after taking refuge
on th~e Stephano, the nearest craft. left to go
aboard their own ship, as the Stephano had to
pick up its own men. The sealers from the
Newfoundland lost their way and seventy-seven
of them were frozen to death in the blizzard
that night or the following day. The storm
did not moderate until the morning of April 2.
Fifty of the men were picked up alive by the
steamer1 Bellaventure, but many of them were
permanently crippled. Sixty-nine of the dead
were recovered and brought to St. John's on
the same vessel. The Newfoundland was not
wrecked, but was caught in the ice and not
released until several days after the storm.
The captain supposed that the missing men
were safe on one of the other vessels.
The Southern Cross, another sealing steamer
with from 170 to 180' men aboard and laden with
17,000 seals, was lost in the same gale with
all hands probably on April 1. ^No trace of the
vessel was found and just wh'at happened to
it was never learned.

ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
THE GREAT SEAL OF
July 4. 1776, congress appointed Benjamin
Franklin. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson a
committee to prepare a device for a seal of the
United States. The designs submitted by these
statesmen and by several subsequent committees
failed to satisfy congress and it was not until
June 20, 1782, that a device was officially ap-
proved. The design accepted was the joint
work of Charles Thomson,, the secretary of con-
gress, and William Barton, a citizen of Phila-
delphia. It is described in the act (of the date
given) thus:
"The device for an armorial achievement and
reverse of the great seal of the United States in
congress assembled is as follows:
"Arms. Pale ways of thirteen pieces, argent
and gules; a chief, azure; the escutcheon on the
breast of the American eagle displayed proper,
holding in his dexter talon an olive branch, and
in his sinister a bundle of thirteen arrows, all
proper, and in his beak a scroll, inscribed with
this motto, 'E plurlbus unum.'
"Foi» the crest. Over the head of the eagle,
which appears above the escutcheon, a glory, or
breaking through a cloud, proper, and surround-
ing thirteen stars, forming a constellation, ar-
gent, on an azure field.
"Reverse. A pyramid unfinished. In the
zenith, an eye in a triangle, surrounded with a
glory proper. Over the eye these words, 'An-
nuit Coeptis.' On the base of the pyramid the
numerical letters MDCCLXXVI. And underneath
the following motto, 'Novus ordo seclorum.'
JiEM.UtKS AND EXPLANATION.
"The escutcheon is composed of the chief and
pale, the two most honorable ordinaries. The
pieces, paly, represent the several states, all
joined in one solid compact entire, supporting a
chief, which unites the whole and represents
congress. The motto alludes to this union. The
pales in the arms are kept closely united by the
chief and the chief depends on that union and
the strength resulting from it for its support, to
denote the confederacy of the United States of
America and the preservation of their union
through congress. The colors of the pales are
those used in the flag of the United States of
America. White signifies purity and innocence;
•red, hardiness and valor; and blue, the color of
the chief, signifies vigilance, perseverance and
justice. The olive branch and arrows denote the
power of peace and war, which is exclusively
vested in congress. The constellation denotes a
new state taking its place and rank among other
sovereign powers. The escutcheon is borne on
the breast of an American eagle without any
other supporters, to denote that the United
States of America ought to rely on their own
virtue.
THE UNITED STATES.
"Reverse. The pyramid signifies strength and
duration: The eye over it and the motto allude
to the many signal interpositions of Providence
in favor of the American cause. The date under-
neath is that of the declaration of independence
and the words under it signify the beginning of
the new American era, which commences from
that date."

SENTENCED FOR OLEOMARGARINE FRAUDS.
John F. Jelke, president of the John F. Jelke
company of Chicago, was sentenced May 4, 1914,
to serve two years In the federal prison at
Leaven worth, Kas., and to pay a fine of $10,000
for conspiring to defraud the government of
taxes on colored oleomargarine. Seven fellow
defendants were fined $2,600 each on the same
charge. The sentences were Imposed by Judge
Ferdinand A. Geiger In the United States Dis-
trict court in Chicago, where the trial of the
case began Feb. 24, 1914, and ended March 18
In a verdict of guilty. Those who escaped a
prison sentence were William M. Steele, general
manager of the Jelke company; Hugh D. Camer-
on, Milwaukee representative; Harry E. Hitch-
ens, salesman; William L. Lillard, a former
salesman; D. B. Tullis, a former salesman;
Fred Rapp, 'former salesman; William P. Jack-
son, former manager of a company absorbed by
the Jelke company.
The charge against the defendants was 'that
they sold uncolored butterlne to dealers and
also coloring matter, which was so used that
the oleomargarine might be sold to the public
in colored form, thus evading the payment by
the company of the government tax of 10 cents
a pound on colored butterine. The defendants
were indicted in the summer of 1911.
FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES.
The national flag of the United States now
consists of thirteen alternate red and white
stripes, representing the original thirteen states,
and a blue field on which are forty-eight white
stars arranged In six rows of eight stars each,
representing the forty -eight states now coiistl
tutlng the union. The last two stars were
added In 1912 when New Mexico and Arizona
were officially admitted as states. June 14 is
generally observed as flag display day.
Laws are in force in some of the states for-
bidding the desecration or mutilation of the flag
or Its use in any way for advertising purposes.
A federal law forbids the use of the national
flag on trade marks.

UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE.
Civil service act approved Jan. 16, 1883.
Three commissioners are appointed by limitations In the more^ important branches of
Officer:
the president to assist him in classifying the
government offices and positions, formulating
rules and enforcing the law. Their office is in
Washington, D. C. The chief examiner is ap-
pointed by the commissioners to secure accuracy,
uniformity and justice in the proceedings of the
examining boards. The secretary to the com-
mission is appointed by the president.
General Rules — The fundamental rules govern-
found in the civil service act itself. Based upon
these are many other regulations formulated by
the commission and promulgated by the president
from time to time as new contingencies arise.
The present rules were approved March 20, 1903,
and went into effect April 15, 1903. In a general
way they require that there must be free, open
examinations of applicants for positions in the
public service; that appointments shall be made
from those graded highest in the examinations;
that appointments to the service in Washington
shall be apportioned among the states and terri-
tories according to population; that there shall
be a period (six months) of probation before any
absolute appointment is made; that no person in
the public service is for that reason obliged to
contribute to any political fund or is subject to
dismissal for refusing to so contribute; that no
his official authority or influence to coerce the
political action of any .person. Applicants for
positions shall not be questioned as to their
political or religious beliefs and no discrimina-
tion shall be exercised against or in favor of any
applicant or employe on account of his religion
or politics. The classified civil service shall in-
clude all officers and employes In the executive
civil service of the United States except laborers
and persons whose appointments are subject to
confirmation by the senate.
Examinations— These are conducted by boards
of examiners chosen from -among persons in gov-
ernment employ and are held twice a year in all
the states and territories at convenient places.
In Illinois, for example, they are usually held
at Cairo, Chicago and Peoria. The dates are an-
nounced through the newspapers or by other
means. They can always be learned by applying
to the commission or to the nearest postoffice or
custom house. Those who desire to take exami-
nations are advised to. write to the commission
in Washington for the "Manual of Examina-
tions," which is sent free to all applicants. It
is revised semiannually to Jan. 1 and July 1.
The January edition contains a schedule of the
spring examinations and the July edition con-
tains a schedule of the fall examinations. Full
information is given as to the methods and rules
governing examinations, manner of making appli-
cation, qualifications required, regulations for
rating examination papers, certification for and
chances of appointment, and as far as possible
it outlines the scope of the different subjects of
general and technical examinations. These are
practical in character and are designed to test
the relative capacity and fitness to discharge the
duties to be performed. It is necessary to obtain
an average percentage of 70 to be eligible for
appointment, except that applicants entitled to
preference because of honorable discharge from
the military or naval service for disability re-
sulting from wounds or sickness incurred in the
line of duty need obtain but 65 per cent. The
period of eligibility is one year.
Qualifications of Applicants— No person will be
examined who is not a citizen of the United
States: who is not within the age limitations
prescribed; who is physically disqualified for the
service which he seeks; who has been guilty of
criminal infamous, dishonest or disgraceful con-
duct; wno has been dismissed from the public
service for delinquency and misconduct or has
failed to receive absolute appointment after pro-
bation; who is addicted to the habitual use of
intoxicating liquors to excess, or who has made
a false statement in his application. The age
the public service are: PostutflGe, 18 to 45 years;
rural letter carriers, 17 to 55; internal revenue,
21 years and over; railway mail, 18 to 35; light-
house, 18 to 50; life saving, 18 to 45; general de-
partmental, 20 and over. These age limitations
are subject to change by the commission They
do not apply to applicants of the preferred class.
Applicants for the position of railway mail clerk
must be at least 5 feet 6 inches in height ex-
clusive of boots or shoes, and weigh not less 'than
135 pounds in ordinary clothing and have no
physical defects. Applicants for certain other
positions have to come up to similar physical re-
quirements.
Method of Appointment— Whenever a vacancy
exists the appointing officer makes requisition
upon the civil service commission for a certifica
tion of names to fill the vacancy, specifying the
kind of position vacant, the sex desired and the
salary. The commission thereupon takes from
the proper register of eligibles the names of
three persons standing highest of the sex called
for and certifies them to the appointing officer,
who is required to make the selection. He mav
choose any one of the three names, returning the
other two to the register to await further certifi-
cation. The time of examination is not consid-
ered, as the highest in average percentage on the
register must be certified first. If after a pro-
bationary period of six months the name of the
appointee is continued on the roll of the depart-
ment in which he serves the appointment is con-
sidered absolute.
Removals— No person can be removed from a
competitive position except for such cause as will
promote the efficiency of the public service and
for reasons given in writing. No examination of
witnesses nor any trial shall be required except
in the discretion of the officer making the re-
moval.
Salaries— Entrance to the department service is
usually in the lowest grades, the higher grades
being generally filled by promotion. The usual
entrance grade is about $900, but the applicant
may be appointed at $840, $760 or even $600.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DECISIONS,
Handed down
INTERMOUXTAIN RATE CASE.
In the Intermountain rate case the United
States Supreme court reversed the decision of the
Commerce court and upheld the order of the In-
terstate commerce commission. The Commerce
court held that the commission had no authority
to Issue "blanket" or "zone" orders as to rates
as had been done in June and July, 1911, but
could only act in regard to the reasonableness or
unreasonableness of specific rates. The orders in
question -were issued uuder authority of the long
and short haul section of the interstate com-
merce act, which clothed the commission with
discretion- to make exceptions to the general rule.
The commission refused to let the railroads
charge a higher rate to the protesting cities In
the Rocky mountain region than was charged to
points beyond them on shipments originating
west of a line that would run north and south
through St. Paul, but on shipments originating
between St. Paul and Chicago the railroads were
rrmltted to charge an Increase of not more than
per cent;- on shipments originating between
Chicago and Pittsburgh, not more than 10 per
cent, and from the zone between Pittsburgh and
the Atlantic, not more than 25 per cent. The
Supreme court held that this order was sustained
by the facts upon which It was based and did
not exceed the powers which the statute con-
ferred or transcend the limits of the sound legal
discretion which it lodged in the commission
-when acting upon the subject before It.
The long and short haul clause was held to be
constitutional. The court said:
"The situation under the amendment [to the
interstate commerce act] is: Power in the car-
rier primarily to meet competitive conditions in
any point of view by charging a lesser rate for
a longer than for a shorter haul has ceased to
exist, because to do so in the absence of some
authority would not only be inimical to the pro-
vision of the fourth section but would be In con-
flict with the preference and discrimination
clauses of the second and third sections.
"But while the public power previously lodged
In the carrier is thus withdrawn and reposed In
the commission, the right of carriers to seek and
obtain, under authorized circumstances, the
sanction of the commission to charge a higher
rate for a longer than for a shorter haul because
of competition or for other adequate reasons is
expressly preserved, and if not is in any event
by necessary implication granted.
"And as a correlative, the authority of the
commission to grant on request the right sought
is made by the statute to depend upon the facts
established and the judgment of that body in
June 22, 1914.
the exercise of a sound legal discretion as to
whether the request should be granted compati-
bly with a due consideration of the private and
public interests concerned and In view of the
preference and discrimination clauses of the sec-
ond and third sections."
OIL LANDS CASE.
In the oil lands case the court confirmed the
title of the Southern Pacific Railroad company to
200,000 acres of oil bearing lands in California,
estimated to be worth $700,000,000. The decision
was that the patents involved were irregular but
that they could not be attacked collaterally by
other claimants; they could only be set aside lay
a direct attack by the government. The time in
which that could be done had expired in 1900 or
1901.
"In every case before this court," said Justice
Van Deventer, "we have held that where the
law says that only mineral or homestead lands
are to be granted by the land officials the offi-
cials must do their duty of ascertaining whether
that land came within the law, and they could
not perform their duty by inserting exceptions
that the land should not pass If found later to
be within the law."
PIPE LINE CASE.
The pipe line amendment to the Hepburn rate
law of 1906 was upheld by the Supreme court.
When the interstate commerce commission began
to enforce the law it called upon the pipe line
companies to file rates, but six of them, includ-
ing the Standard Oil company, refused to comply.
They appealed to the Commerce court and it en-
joined the enforcement of the order 'on the
ground that the amendment was unconstitutional.
The Supreme court held that pipe lines were
common carriers subject to the authority of the
interstate commerce commission and that the
Hepburn act was necessary to carry out the dis-
solution of the oil trust.
LUMBER TRUST CASE.
The decree of the New York federal court hold-
ing that organizations of retail lumber dealers in
the eastern states had violated the Sherman
antitrust law by circulating among their mem-
bers blacklists of wholesalers who sold lumber
direct to large consumers was affirmed. The
court held that the government may maintain a
criminal action under the act against an asso-
ciation of business men for "blacklisting," even
if the act of proscription went no further than
merely to notify other members of the associa-
tion that the particular object of the blacklist
was the doing of a specific act.

UNITED STATES REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE.
In a general way the duties which the revenue
cutter service Is called upon to perform may be
classified as follows:
1. Assistance of vessels in distress.
2. Co-operation with the navy in times of war.
3. Destruction of derelicts and other menaces
to navigation.
4. Protection of the customs revenue.
5. Enforcement of the navigation and other
laws governing merchant vessels and motor boats.
6. Regulation and policing of regattas and ma-
rine parades.
7. Enforcement of laws relating to anchorage
of vessels.
8. Enforcement of the neutrality laws.
9. Enforcement of quarantine and immigration
laws.
10. Suppression of mutinies on board merchant
vessels.
11. Protection of game and the seal and other
fisheries in Alaska; suppression of illegal traf-
fic in firearms, ammunition and spirits in Alaska.
12. Co-operation with the life-saving service by
the instruction, drilling and inspection of its
crews.
The revenue cutter service, which Is organized
on a military basis, Is under control of the sec-
retary of the treasury, the assistant secretary
having supervision. The administration is in
charge of a captain commandant, whose office is
ia Washington, D. C. The authorized commis-
• sioned personnel consists of 159 line officers. 81
engineer officers and 2 constructors, a total of
242. The total authorized complement of warrant
officers, petty officers and men is 1,576. Commis-
sioned officers are appointed from cadets at the
School of Instruction, New London, Conn. The
school course extends over three years and em-
braces instruction in professional and academic
subjects. Admission is by competitive examina
tion and candidates must not be less than 18 nor
more than 24 years of age. Candidates for the
engineer corps must be not less than 21 nor
more than 26 years of age.
Warrant officers are appointed by the secretary
of the navy and hold their appointments during
good behavoir. Petty officers and other men are
enlisted for periods of one year. After three
successive enlistments an increase in pay is al-
lowed; the law also provides an annual sum for
uniforms. Efficiency in the enlisted ranks is re-
warded by promotion to the several grades of
petty, officers and the warrant officers are se-
lected from the petty officers as vacancies occur.
The pay of the commissioned personnel is fixed
by congress to correspond with the pay and al-
lowances of like rank in the army.
By law the officers of the revenue cutter serv-
ica rank as follows:
Captain commandant, with colonel In army and
captain In navy.
Senior captain and engineer in chief, with lieu-
tenant-colonel in army and commander in the
navy.
Captain and captain of engineers, with major in
army and lieutenant-commander in navy.

INTERNATIONAL RULES
Delegates representing fourteen maritime na-
tions, at the conclusion of a long conference on
matters relating to the promotion of greater
safety at sea, signed a convention in London
Jan. 20, 1914, laying down regulations for the
future. These are to become effective July 1,
1915, after the governments concerned have
given their formal approval. Briefly, the Inter-
national rules provide:
That all merchant vessels carrying fifty or
more persons (passengers or crew) and engaged
in international or colonial voyages, must be
equipped with wireless apparatus; an exception
is made in the case of vessels not going more
than 150 miles from land. The apparatus must
have a minimum range of 100 miles.
That there must be enough lifeboat accommo-
dations for all persons on board a ship, and that
there must be a minimum number of members of
the crew holding government certificates that
they are competent to handle boats and rafts.
That no dangerous goods shall be carried; each
FOR SAFETY AT SEA.
administration is to issue warnings as to what
goods are dangerous.
That there shall be an organized system oC
patrols for detecting fires and adequate provis-
ion for extinguishing them.
That a patrol, under the supervision of the
United States, is to be established for making
ice observations and destroying derelicts In the
North Atlantic; all ship masters must report
dangerous ice and derelicts.
That an international code for urgent and im-
portant signals be used.
Ships of contracting states which comply with
the requirements of the convention will be fur-
nished with certificates. Provision is also made
for the Interchange of rules relating to safety
at sea and for the imposition of penalties by
each government for violations of such rules as
are specified in the convention.
The convention was ratified by the United
States senate March 25, 1914.
LOSS OF OLD DOMINION LINER MONROE.
The liner Monroe of the Old Dominion Steam-
ship company was sunk in a collision with the
steamer Nantucket of the Merchants and Miners'
line off the coast of Virginia at 1:40 o'clock on
the morning of Jan. 30, 1914. Forty-one persons
lost their lives. Of these nineteen were passen-
gers and twenty-two members of the crew. The
Monroe left Norfolk, Va., at 7:40 p. m., Jan. 29
and ran into a light fog when outside the capes.
She was proceeding cautiously on her way to
New York, blowing a fog whistle every minute
by an automatic time clock, and was about half
way between Cape Charles ligLtship and the
Winter Quarter lightship when, she stopped on
hearing a fog whistle on her starboard bow.
Signals were exchanged, but in a few moments
the other vessel, which proved to be the Nan-
tucket, crashed into the starbonrd side of the
Monroe. The bow of the Nantucket penetrated
one-third of the width of the Monroe and made
sinking inevitable. '
Every effort was made by the captain aqd
crew to rescue the passengers. One lifeboat was
crushed, another fell into the water and was
swamped, while the boats on the port side could
not be used on account of the heavy list of the
vessel to the starboard. Two lifeboats, however,
were successfully loaded and launched and sev-
eral life rafts were also instrumental in saving
many persons. Ferdinand Kuehn, wireless oper-
ator on the Monroe, nfter sending out signals
for assistance, gave his life preserver to a wom-
an just as the steamer began to sink, and went
down with the ship.
The men and women on the lifeboats and rafts
were picked up by the Nantucket and conveyed
to Norfolk. They numbered thirty-nine passen-
gers and sixty sailors, making a total of ninety-
nine. Two of those picked up died from ex-
posure.

vides that any person entitled thereto, upon
complying with the provisions of the law, shall
have the exclusive right (a) to print, reprint,
publish, copy and vend the copyrighted work; (b)
to translate the copyrighted work or make any
other version of it if it be a literary work; to
dramatize It if it be a noudramatic work- to
convert it into a novel or other nondramatic
work if it be a drama: to arrange or adapt it If
it be a musical work; to finish it If it be a
model or design for a work of art; (c) to deliver
or authorize the delivery of the copyrighted work
if it be a lecture, sermon, address or similar pro-
duction; (d) to perform the copyrighted work

So far as it secures copyright controlling the
parts of instruments serving to reproduce me-
chanically the musical work the law includes
only compositions published after the act went
into effect; it does not include the works of a
foreign author or composer unless the country of
which he is a citizen or subject grants similar
rights to American citizens. Whenever the owner
of a musical copyright has used or permitted the
use of the copyrighted work upon the part of in-
struments serving to reproduce mechanically the
musical work, any other person may make a sim-
ilar use of the work upon the payment to the
owner of a royalty of 2 cents on each such part
manufactured. The reproduction or rendition of
a musical composition by or upon coin-operated
machines shall not be deemed a public perform-
ance for profit unless a fee is charged for ad-
mission to the place where the reproduction
occurs.
The works for which copyright may be secured
include all the writings of an author.
The application for registration shall specify
to which of the following classes the work in
which copyright is claimed belongs:
(a) Books, including composite and cyclopedic
works, directories, gazetteers and other compila-
tions.
(b) Periodicals, Including newspapers.
(c) Lectures, sermons, addresses, prepared for
oral delivery.

(i) Drawings or plastic works of a scientific
or technical character.
(1) Photographs.
(k) Prints and pictorial illustrations.
(1) Motion picture photo plays.
(m) Motion pictures other than photo plays.
These specifications do not, however, limit the
subject matter of copyright as defined in the law
nor does any error In classification invalidate the
copyright protection secured.
Copyright extends to the work of a foreign
author or proprietor only In case be is domiciled
in the United States at the time of the first pub-
lication of his work or if the country of which
he is a citizen grants similar copyright protec-
tion to citizens of the United States.
Any person entitled thereto by the law may
secure copyright for his work by publication
thereof with the notice of copyright required bv
the act. and such notice shall be affixed to each
copy published or offered for sale in the United
THE UNITED STATES.
States. Such person may obtain registration of
his claim to copyright by complying with the
provisions of the act, Including the deposit of
copies, whereupon the register of copyrights shall
issue to him a certificate as provided for in thp
law. Copyright may also be had of the works of
an author of which copies are not reproduced for
sale by the deposit with claim of copvright of
one complete copy, If it be a lecture or similar
production, or a dramatic or musical composi-
tion; of a title and description, with one print
taken from each scene <5r act. if the work be a
motion picture photo play; of a photographic
print if it be a photograph; of a title and de-
scription, with not less than two prints taken
from different sections of a complete motion pic-
ture, if the work be a motion picture other than
a photo play, of of a photograph or other iden-
tifying reproduction thereof if it be a work
of art or a plastic work or drawing.
After copyright has been secured there must
be deposited in the copyright office in Washing
ton, D. C., two complete copies of the best edi-
tion thereof, which copies, if the work be a book
or periodical, shall have been produced in ac-
cordance with the manufacturing provisions of
the act, or if such work be a contribution to it
periodical for which contribution special regis-
tration is requested one copy of the issue or
issues containing such contribution. Failure to
deposit the copies within a given time after
notice from the register of copyrights makes the
proprietor of the copyright liable to a fine pf
$100 and twice the retail price of the work, and
the copyright becomes void.
The text of all books and periodicals specified
in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, except the orig
inal text of a book of foreign origin in a lan-
guage other than English, must in order to secure
protection be printed from type set within the
limits of the United States, either by hand, ma-
chinery or other process, and the printing of the
text and the binding of the books must also bo
done within the United States. An affidavit of
such manufacture is required.

of the word "copyright" or the abbreviation
"copr.," accompanied by the name of the copy-
right proprietor, and if the work be a printed
literary, musical or dramatic work, the notice
must also include the year in which the copy-
right was secured by publication. In the case,
however, of copies of works specified In para-
graphs (f) to (k) inclusive (given above) the no-
tice may consist of the letter C Inclosed withir
a circle, accompanied by the initials, monogram,
mark or symbol of the copyright proprietor, pro
vided his name appears elsewhere on the copies.

tion the notice shall be applied on the title page
or on the page immediately following, or if a
periodical either upon the title page or upon the
first page of text of each separate number or un-
der the title heading; or if a musical work upon
its title page or the first page of music.
Where the copyright proprietor has sought to
comply with the law with respect to notice, the
omission of such notice by mistake from a par-
ticular copy or copies shall not invalidate the
copyright or prevent recovery for infringement
against any person who, after actual notice of
the copyright, begins an undertaking to infringe
it, but shall prevent the recovery of damages
against an innocent infringer who has been mis-
led by the omission -of the notice.
In the case of a book In English published
abroad before publication in this country, the
deposit in the copyright office within thirty days
of one copy of the foreign edition, with a re-
quest for the reservation of the copyright, se-
cures for the author or owner an ad interim
copyright for thirty days after such deposit is
made.
The copyright secured by the act endures for
twenty-eight year* from the date of the first
publication. In the case of any posthumous
work, periodical, encyclopedic or other composite
work upon which the copyright was originally
secured by the proprietor thereof, or of any work

101
copyrighted by a corporate body, or by an em-
ployer for whom such work is made for hire, the
proprietor of such copyright shall be entitled to

further term of twenty-eight years when appli-
cation for such renewal shall have been made
within one year prior to the expiration of the
original term. In the case of any other copy-
righted work. Including a contribution by an in-
dividual author to a periodical or to a cyclopedic
'•r other composite work when such contribution
has been separately copyrighted, the author of
such work. If living, or the heirs, executors or
next of kin, If the author be dead, shall be en-
titled to a renewal of the copyright for a fur-
ther term of twenty-eight years. In default of
such application for renewal the copyright In
any work shall end at the expiration of twenty-
eight years.
If any person shall infringe the copyright In
any work protected under the copyright laws of
the United States, such person shall be liable:
(a) To an injunction restraining such infringe-
ment.
(b) To pay to the copyright proprietor such
damages as the copyright proprietor may have
suffered due to the infringement, as well as all
the profits which the Infringer shall have made
from such Infringement, and in proving profits
the plaintiff shall be required to prove sales only
and the defendant shall be required to prove
every element of cost which he claims, or in
lieu of actual damages or profits such damages
as to the court shall appear to be just, and In
assessing such damages the court may, in its
discretion, allow the amounts as hereinafter
stated (in numbered paragraphs), but in the case
of a newspaper reproduction of a copyrighted
photograph such damages shall not exceed the
sum of $200 nor be less than $50, and such dam-
ages shall In no other case exceed the sum of
$250 and shall not be regarded as a penalty. In
the case of the Infringement of an undramatized
or nondramatic work by means of motion pic-
tures, where the Infringer shows that he was
not aware that he was infringing, the damages
shall not exceed $100; In the case of the In-
fringement under like circumstances of a copy-
righted dramatic or dramatico-muslcal work the
entire sum recoverable shall not exceed $5,000

to infringe a copyright.
(d) To deliver up on oath for destruction all
the infringing copies or devices, as well as all
plates, molds, matrices or other means for mak-

order.
(e) Whenever the owner of a musical copy-
right has used or permitted the use of the copy-
righted work upon the parts of musical instru-
ments serving to reproduce mechanically the
musical work, then in case of infringement by
tho unauthorized manufacture, use or sale of in-
terchangeable parts, such as disks, rolls, bands
or cylinders for use In mechanical music-produc-
ing machines, no criminal action shall be
brought, but In a civil action an injunction may
be granted upon such terms as the court may
Impose and the plaintiff shall be entitled to re-
cover in lieu of profits and damages a royalty

USE OF DENATURED
Germany uses between 40,000,000 and 50,000,000
gallons of denatured alcohol a year, of which
more than 30,000,000 gallons are sold to the
general public for burning purposes. The Impor-
tance of this fuel in Germany may be appre-
ciated when it is considered that France uses
about 18,000,000 gallons, the United States about
JO.000,000 gallons, and the united kingdom only
ALCOHOL FOR FUEL.
4 000,000 gallons, according to Charles A. Cramp-
ton, commercial agent of the department of com-
merce, Washington. D. C. Denatured alcohol is
not only gaining in favor for general burning
purposes, but efforts are being made to find a
way of usinsr it as a motor fuel tn place of
gasoline,

ment, toilet articles, and similar personal effects
of persons arriving in the United States; but
this exemption shall include on'.y such articles as
were actually owned by them and in their pos-
session abroad at the time of or prior to their

duty."
BAGGAGE DECLARATIONS.
The law requires that every person entering
the United States shall make a declaration and
entry of personal baggage. The senior member
of a family present as a passenger may, bow-
ever, declare for the entire family.
A failure to declare articles acquired abroad
and brought in as baggage renders the articles
subject to forfeiture and the passengers liable
to criminal prosecution.
Returning residents of the United States
should use the form of declaration printed in
black; nonresidents should use the form printed
In red.
The exact number of .pieces of baggage accom-
panying a passenger must be stated in the dec-
laration, including trunks, valises, boxes, hand
bags and packages or bundles of every kind.
Forms of baggage declarations will be furnished
passengers by the steamship officers. The decla-
ration should be prepared and signed at least
one day before the expected arrival of the
vessel.
When the declaration has been prepared and
signed the coupon at the bottom of the form
must be detached and retained by the passenger
and the declaration delivered to the ship's officer
designated to receive the same. After all the
baggage and effects of the passenger have been
landed, the coupon which has been retained must
be presented at the inspector's desk and an in-
spector will then be detailed to examine the
baggage.
1'assengers must acknowledge in person on the
pior. their signatures to the declarations.
RETURNING RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED
STATES.
Returning residents of the United States must
declare all articles acquired abroad, in their
baggage or on their persons, whether by pur-

cles of wearing apparel, and will be confiscated
whether found in the baggage or on the person.
In cases where there has been no willful intent
to violate the law, such prohibited articles may
be exported to a foreign country.
WEIGHTS OF DIAMONDS
The -weight of diamonds and other precious
stones is expressed In metric carats. The unit
is the international carat of 200 milligrams,
which has been, officially adopted by the United
States and most of the countries in Europe.
Until July 1, 1913, there were three different
standards In use in the United States, although
the one generally accepted was 205.3 milligrams.
This was usually subdivided on the binary sys-
tem, the smallest subdivision being 1-64 of the
carat. The new carat is subdivided on the deci-
mal system. The avoirdupois equivalent of 200
milligrams is 3.08 grains.

DIAMOND TRADE CENTERS.
For many years Amsterdam was at the head
of the diamond industry in Europe, but of late
Antwerp has taken first place. Amsterdam
specializes in small stones and in cutting these
its workmen are unrivaled. Antwerp cuts both
large and small diamonds and has a monopoly of
the small stones, called "melees," from German
Southwest Africa. The following table of dia-
mond exports to the United States from Amster-
dam and Antwerp since 1905 will show tho
relative importance of these cities in the gem
industry:

CENTEB OF POPULATION AND MEDIAN LINES.
The center of population, according to the
bureau of the census, may be said to represent
the center of the gravity of the population. If
the surface of the United States be considered as
a rigid plane without weight, capable of sustain-
ing the population distributed thereon, individu-
als being assumed to be of equal weight, and
>>)icli, therefore, to exert a pressure on any sup-
porting pivotal point directly proportional to his
distance from the point, the pivotal point on
which the plane balances would, of course, b«
its center of gravity, and this is the point re-
ferred to by the term "center of population" as
used by the census bureau in its reports.
The median point, which may be described as
the numerical center of population, is in no
sense a center of gravity. In determining the
median point distance Is not taken into acooont.

% MEDIAN LINES.
In connection with the definition of the median
point another method of presenting facts with
regard to the geographical distribution of the
population has been noted. Involving the location
of median lines. A parallel of latitude is deter-
mined which evenly divides the population so
tnat the population north of that parallel Is the
same as that south, similarly, a meridian of
longitude Is determined which divides the popu-
lation evenly as between east and west. In cal-
culating these median lines It Is necessary. In
trie case of the square degrees of latitude and
longitude which are traversed by the lines them-
selves, to assume tnat tne population Is evenlv
distributed through tnese square degrees or to
make an estimated adjustment where this Is ob-
nously not the case.
The eastern terminus of the median parallel,
according to the census of 1910, Is on the New
jersey coast near Seagirt, in Its course west
tnln line passes tnrough central New Jersey,
leaving the state near Burlington and entering
Pennsylvania a few miles north of Philadelphia,
tnonce passing t&rongn jNorrlstown and continu-
ing through southern Pennsylvania and across
tne northern extremity of West Virginia, leaving
the latter state at a point a few miles north of
Wheeling. It nearly bisects Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, crossing about ten miles north of Colum-
bus, O.; twenty-five miles north of Indianapolis,
ind., and about twenty miles north of Spring-
field, 111. Through Missouri It runs about thirty
miles south of the Iowa and Missouri line,
tnence passing tnrough Nebraska about ten mile*
north of its soutnern boundary, and across the
northern part or Colorado, passing about five
miles north of Boulder City. Its location In Utah
is about forty-live miles south of Salt Lake City,
xnere are no large towns near Its course across
tne northern part of Nevada and California. The
western terminus or tne median parallel Is on
tne Pacific coast. In Humboidt county, California,
about five miles north of Point Delgada and
twenty miles south of Cape Mendocino. the point
of continental United States extending farthest
The median meridian starts at Whlteflsh point,
on the northern peninsula of Michigan, near the
eastern end of Lake Superior, thence passing

south about twenty-five miles west of Lansing
and through Indiana about ten miles west of the
Indiana-Ohio boundary and twenty -five miles west
of Cincinnati. South of the Ohio river It bisects
Kentucky, crosses eastern Tennessee and leaves
that state twenty miles east of Chattanooga.
Through Georgia it passes close to the Georgia-
Alabama line, about two miles west of Colum-
bus, Ga., leaving the state near the Intersection
of the Alabama, Georgia and Florida boundary
unes. It then crosses tne northwestern part of
Florida and terminates in the Gulf of Mexico at
the city of Apalachicola. The following table

MOTHER TONGUE OF FOREIGN WHITE STOCK (1910).
In the- following tables, prepared by the federal
census bureau, the foreign white stock referred
to is the aggregate white population of the
United States which is foreign either by birth
or by parentage. It embraces all foreign born
whites and all native whites having one or both
parents foreign born. It must be remembered
that the foreign stock as here defined only in-
cludes the first and second generations — immi-
grants and native children of immigrants — and
does not include the grandchildren or great-
grandchildren of immigrants. In other words,
the figures do not include the exact relative im-
portance of the several ethnic stocks in the
total population.
The eight major mother-tongue stocks in the
United States, arranged in the order of their
importance, are shown in the following table:

visory and legislative in function, the members
giving only part of their time to municipal
work and receiving nominal salaries or none. An
appointive chief executive (city manager), hired
by the board from anywhere in the country and
holding office at the pleasure of the board. The
manager appoints and controls the remaining city
employes, subject to adequate civil service pro-
visions.
History— The first city manager charter was
presented to the legislature of New York In
1911 by the Lockport board of trade. It failed
of passage. In 1912 it was adopted by the South
Carolina legislature in a special act for the
city of Sumter (population 8,109) and subse-
quently adopted by that city, going into effect
Jan. 1, 1913. Among the cities and towns that
have since adopted the city manager plan are:
Dayton, O. ; Phoenix, Ariz.; Hickory, N. C.; La
Grande, Ore. ; Terrell, Tex. : Amarillo, Tex. ;
Abilene, Kas. ; Morganton. N. C. ; Springfield,
O.; Morris, Minn., and Glencoe, 111. It was
adopted as one of three plans in a general op-
tional law bv the Ohio legislature, applicable to
any city. The Lockport plan remains the model
and the Springfield, O., charter is the best yet
(up to Jan. 1, 1914) put into effect.
ADVANTAGES CLAIMED FOR PLAN.
1. It creates a single-headed administrative
establishment instead of the five separate ad-
ministrative establishments seen in the Des
Moines plan.
2. It permits expertness in administration at
the point where it Is most valuable, namely,
at the head.
3. It permits comparative permanence in the
involvin
nenced experts for amateur and transient execu-
tives. It also makes feasible the carrying out of
projects extending over long terms of years.
4. The plan permits the summoning of an ex-
perienced man from another city, as he does not
have to be a resident at the time of his ap-
pointment.
6- The plan, while giving a single-headed ad-
ministration, abolishes the one-man power seen
in the old mayor-and-council plan. The city
manager is subject to correction ana even dis-
missal by the commission.
6. It abandons all attempts to choose admin-
istrators by popular election. It is difficult for
voters to gauge executive and administrative
ability in candidates. By removing all renuire-
ments of technical ability in elective officers,
such as commissioners, it leaves the people
free to choose candidates for their representative
character only.
7. It leaves the lines of responsibility clear.
8. It provides a basis for better discipline and
harmony.
9. It is better adapted for large cities as it
permits larger commissions and opens the way
to a broader and more diversified representation.
10. In very small cities, by having one well-
commissioners, it makes possible economy in
salaries and overhead expenses.
11. It permits ward elections or proportional
representation.
12. It makes membership in city commissions
attractive to first class citizens since the service
offers opportunities for high usefulness without
office of the chief executive, whereas in all plans | interruption of their private careers.
EARTHQUAKE IN EASTERN STATES.
Ths northeastern part of the United States and
the lower part of eastern Canada experienced a
marked earthquake on the afternoon of Feb. 10,
1914. It lasted from 15 to 30 seconds so far as
It was perceptible to man, though seismographs
recorded tremors lasting much longer. At the
Harvard geological observatory in Cambridge,
Mass., the instrument Indicated eight faint
shocks in the forenoon. In the afternoon the
maximum vibration was at 1:33:25 o'clock, and
thi- last shock recorded was at 1:40:34. Tremors
were indicated by seismographs as far south as
Washington, D. C., and as far west as St.
trail, Me.
The earthquake was noticed throughout th»
greater part of New York state and seemed to
be especially marked In Albany, where pictures
were shaken from the walls in the capitol. In
New York city the quaking lasted from i:S5:l£
to 1:37:30. No damage was reported from any
part of the district affected, though the seismic
disturbance was greater than any other recorded
in that part of the country.
The last previous earthquake felt in New York
was that which partly destroyed Charleston,
S. C.. in 1886. There was also a general dis-
turbance over the eastern and northeastern states
in 1884.

AREA AND POPULATION OF THE BALKAN STATES.
Until the spring of 1914 It was not possible to
give with any degree of exactness the area and
population of the Balkan states as changed by
the war of the allied states against Turkey, by
tha war between the allies themselves, by Rou-
manian threats against Bulgaria, by Turkey's at-
tack on Bulgaria when the latter was pressed by
the allies and by various treaties and delimiting
commissions. The following figures are from the
Geographical Journal of the -Royal Geographical
society of London, which In May, 1914, Issued a

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSIKATE MAYOR MITCHEL.
Michael P. Mahoney, a demented old black-
smith, tried to km John P. Mitchel. mayor
of New York city, by shooting him with a re-
volver Friday afternoon, April 17, 1914. The
ballet missed its mark b'y Inches only and hit
Frank L. Polk, the corporation counsel, in the
chin. Inflicting a serious but not fatal injury.
The mayor, Mr. Polk and George V. Mullan.
tax commissioner, were in an automobile in
City Hall park at 1:15 p. m., and Arthur Woods,
police commissioner, was about to step into the
machine to go with the party to lunch when
Mahoney approached from behind and fired at
Mr. Mitchel. The aim was poor, but so close
waa the weapon to the mayor that the side of
his face was slightly powder-burned. Mr. Mul-
lan's collar, neck and cheek were also burned,
but the only one seriously hurt was Mr. Polk.
Mahoney was easily overpowered by George J.
Neun. the chauffeur, and Commissioner woods,
and turned over to a policeman, who took him
to the Tombs. There it was loarned that he
was 72 years old and a native of Ireland. Ex-
amination of his lodgings resulted in the finding
of letters written in a rambling and disjointed
fashion, but showing that he was a disappointed
otflceseeker and that he had a fancied grievance
against the mayor for his "extravagance." It
also appeared that he was agitated at the at-
tempt to get Col. Goethals, the Panama canal
engineer, to take the police commlssionershlp.

ALMANAC AND TEAR-BOOK FOE. 1015.
DWELLINGS AND
In census usage a "dwelling" Is any building
in which one or more persons reside. A mere
cabin, or room in a warehouse, occupied by a
single person, is a census dwelling, while, on the
other hand, an apartment house containing many
families constitutes only one dwelling. Only oc-
cupied dwellings are included in the following
tables. The term "family" as used in census
reports means a household or group of persons,
whether related by blood or not, who share a
common abode, usually also sharing the same
table. If one person lives alone he constitutes a
family, while, on the other hand, those who dwell
in a hotel or institution in which many people
live are also treated as forming a single family.
There is, however, no considerable difference be-
tween the average size of all families under the
census usage and the average size of what are
commonly termed families or households in popu-
lar speech. In 1900 the difference for the United
States as a whole was only 0.1 per cent.
At each census from 1850 to 1910 a decrease
was shown in the average number of persons per
dwelling and the average number per family.
The decrease in the average number per dwell-
ing has been due to the decrease in the average
per family, the influence of which has been
partly offset by the increased construction of
tenements and other 'dwellings containing more
than one family.
In 1910 there were 7,254,242 dwellings and 9,499,-
765 families in urban communities, while there
were 10,551,603 dwellings and 10,755,790 families
in rural communities. For urban communities the
number of persons to a dwelling averaged 5.9
and to a family 4.5; for rural communities the
number of persons to a dwelling averaged 4.7
and to a family 4.6.

DECISION AGAINST INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY.
In a decision made by the United States Dis-
trict court at St. Paul, Minn., and announced
Aug. 12, 1914, the International Harvester com-
pany was declared to be a monopoly !n restraint
of interstate and foreign trade and was ordered
dissolved. The company was given ninety days
in which to dissolve into at least three Independ-
ent concerns, in default of which the court
would entertain an application for a receiver-
ship. The decision of the court was given by
Judge Walter I. Smith of Iowa. Judge William
C. Hook of Kansas City agreeing and Judge
Walter A. Sanborn of Minnesota dissenting.
The majority opinion held that the Interna-
tional Harvester company was from its organi-
zation in 1902 in violation of the Sherman lnw.
The original corporation, formed of flve con-
cerns, violated the first section of the Sherman
act by restraining competition among themselves.
The combined organization also tended to mo-
nopolize trade in contravention of the second sec-
tion of this law. It was further held that the
company's treatment of the smaller competitors
in general had been fair and just and that the
case involved no question of overcapitalization.
Judge Sanborn in his dissenting opinion held
that proceedings to punish the company for com-
binations in restraint of interstate or foreign
trade made in 1902, 1903 or 1904 were barred by
the provision of the law forbidding prosecution
under these acts three years after they are
committed. He said it had not been shown
that the defendant concern was violating the
Sherman law In April, 1912. when the suit wag
bomm nor before that time.

MISSOURI ATHLETIC
Thirty lives were lost In the burning of the
building occupied by the Missouri Athletic club
and the Boatmen's bank at 4th and Washington
avenues, St. Louis, Mo., early on the morning
of March 9, 1914. It was a seven-story structure,
tne bank occupying the first and second floors
and the club the remainder. On the fifth and
sixth floors were apartments used as sleeping
quarters for members and guests of the organi-
zation. On the night of the fire most of the
rooms were occupied, many of them by men
from other cities. The blaze started at 1:50
a. m., and the flames swept so rapidly through
the building that the exits were cut off. Some
of the sleeping men, who were awakened in
CLUBHOUSE FIRE.
time, escaped by means of a rope of bedsbeet*
knotted together, which enabled them to reach
the roof of an adjoining building; others man-
aged to make their way down a fire escape be-
fore the fire made it useless. Thirty men,
trapped in their rooms, perished. It was nearly
a week before all the bodies were recovered
from the ruins and several of them could not
be identified. The property loss caused by the
fire, the origin of which was not definitely as-
certained, was estimated at $466.000.
March 17 a thirty mile wind blew down the
west wall of the ruined clubhouse. The debris
crushed into the rear half of the adjoining four-
story building of the St. Louis Seed company,
killing eight persons and injuring a dozen more.

SHORTAGE OF MEAT ANIMALS.
The bureau of statistics of the department of
agriculture issued a report Feb. 7, 1914, calling
attention among other things to the decrease in
meat animals in the United States. "With re-
gard to meat animals," says the report, "our
estimates indicate an accumulated shortage
since the census year [19101 of approximately
19.2 per cent, or 8,536,000 head, of cattle: 11.6
per cent, or 6,509,000 head, of sheep; and 5.2 per
cent, or 3,214,000 head, of swine. The indicated
total shortage of meat animals since the census
of 1910 is therefore approximately 18,259,000 head,
or nearly nine beef cattle, seven sheep, and over
three hogs for each 100 of the total estimated
population in January. 1914. Notwithstanding
this tremendous shortage in the number of meat
animals In the past four years, a shortage of
over 7,000,000 animals, the estimated farm value
of the cattle, sheep acd swine on farms on
Jan. 1, 1914. was $395,487.000 greater than the
estimated value of these animals in the census
year of 1910.
"The shortage of meat animals Is probably due
to a number of contributing causes, such as the
encroachment of farms upon the range territory;
absence of a proper range-leasing law permitting
economical management and utilization of ranges;
the shortage in the corn and forage crop due to
the severe drought in Kansas. Nebraska and
Oklahoma In 1913. which caused the farmers In
those states to dispose of their meat animals:
the increase in the value of land and th» In-
creased cost of labor and stock feed, resulting
in greatly increasing the cost of production; the
decline in stock raising on farms in the ea^t
and south because of poor marketing facilities
resulting from many local slaughtering estab-
lishments having been driven out of business by
the competition of the great central slaughter-
ing establishments of the west and central west;
tne temptation to sell live stock at the prevail-
ing high prices rather than to continue to carry
them with high-priced stock feed, possible loss
from disease or accident, and uncertain prices
the following year; increased tendency to oper-
ate farms under short-term leases, with no in-
centive to maintain soil fertility through stock
raising; possession of leased farms changed at
wrong season or year for handling stock eco-
nomically ; enormous losses from cholera in swine :
and the competition of higher prices for other
i iiriu products."

Commissions for the administrative control of
public utilities now exist in nearly all the states
but under different names and with different de-
grees of power and extent of Jurisdiction. Some
are known as railroad or railroad and warehouse
commissions and others as corporation, public
service and public utilities commissions. Most

sylvania, 1913. Rhode Island, 1912; Washington,
1911; West Virginia, 1913. The public utility
laws of New York and Wisconsin, upon which
many of the others are based, have been amend-
ed in the last three or four years.
Briefly stated the duties of commissions of
this kind include the general supervision of every
company or individual, except municipalities, op-
erating for the public use any plant, equipment
or property used in connection with the trans-
portation of persons or property; the transmis-

tion, supervise the issue of stocks and bonds,
regulate rates and service, prevent unjust dis-
crimination, hold inquiries, require reports, en-
force the provisions of the public utility acts,
and, in genaral, to see that the rights of th<¥

to seven and the term of office from two to ten

Forty-six men, chiefly union labor officials and
agents, were placed on trial before Federal
Judge A. B. Anderson in Indianapolis. Ind., Oct.
1. 1912. on the charge of complicity in nearly
100 dynamite explosions growing out of the
strike against the American Bridge company de-
clared by the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers. These ex-
plosions occurred between August, 1905, and
April, 1911, and one of them, that in the Los
Angeles Times building, Oct. 1, 1910, resulted in
the loss of twenty-five lives. For this last crime
James Boyd McNamara was sentenced Dec. 5,
1911. to life imprisonment in San Quentin prison,
California, his brother, John J. McNamara, get-
ting a sentence of fifteen years in the same
prison for another explosion. Both had pleaded
guilty.
The men brought before Judge Anderson were
tried on counts charging conspiracy and viola-
tion of the law against carrying explosives. Ed-
ward S. Clark of Cincinnati, business agent and
president of a local union of the bridge workers'
organization, pleaded guilty and was given a
suspended sentence. The trial ended Dec. 28.
1912, in a verdict of guilty as to thirty-three of
the defendants and Dec. 30 Judge Anderson sen-
tenced them to serve terms ranging from one
year and one day to seven years In the federal
prison at Leavenworth. Kas. Among those re-
ceiving the heaviest sentences were Frank M.

Young, Boston.
Jan. 3, 1913. the defendants were admitted to
bail by the United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals in Chicago, the bonds being fixed at $10,-
000 for each year of imprisonment imposed. Jan.
6, 1914, the court decided as to twenty-four of
the defendants that they must serve out their
sentences and that six were to be given new
trials. The latter were: Olaf A. Tveitmoe. San
Francisco; William McCain, New Orleans; James
E. Ray, Peoria: Fr<.-d Sherman, Indianapolis:

would not review the cases of the defendants
who had been denied new tria'.s.

expire at once, the sentences imposed on Wil-
liam Shupe of Chicago. 111.; Michael J. Hannon

CONFERENCE ON UNEMPLOYMENT.
The first national conference on unemploy-
ment was held in New York. N. Y., Feb. 27-28,
1914. under the auspices of the American Asso-
ciation for Labor Legislation. Addresses and
reports were made by Mayor John P. Mitchel
of New York: Henry R. Soaeer, president of
the association; Charles Richmond Henderson
of Chicago: Frederick C. Howe of New York;
William M. Leiserson, Wisconsin superintendent
of employment offices, and many others.
John B. Andrews, secretary of the association.
In an introductory note to a report of the
proceedings at the conference, says:
"In the course of the two davs' discussion,
despite the great diversity of the viewpoints
represented, five main points of agreement be-
came clearly defined. These were: (1) the ne-
cessity of accurate labor market statistics: (2)
the necessity for a widespread system of ef-
ficient labor exchanges: (3) the necessity for
regularizing business; (4) the necessity for in-
dustrial training and vocational guidance; and
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
213
(5) the necessity for unemployment Insurance."
Prof. Charles R. Henderson, cnairman of the
committee on resolutions, presented the follow-
ing report, which was adopted;
Whereas, the reports presented to this national
conference by delegates representing twenty-
five states and flfty-nine cities show a com-
plete lack in most sections of the country of
accurate statistical information In reference to
the extent and nature of unemployment: and
Whereas, notwithstanding some difference of
opinion as to whether unemployment this win-
ter has been more widespread than usual in all
sections, there is general agreement that there
Is a large amount of unemployment and that
this and the irregularity of employment at all
times are among the most serious problems of
modern industry: and
Whereas, there is also general agreement that
the first step toward a solution of the problem
is the organization of a connected network of
free public employment exchanges and that
other steps should be taken as soon as agree-
ment can be reached as to what they should
be: therefore, be it
Resolved. 1. That this conference urge the
establishment in the federal department of la-
bor of a bureau of distribution, with power
to establish employment exchanges throughout
the country to supplement the work of state
and municipal bureaus, to act as a clearing
house of information and promote the distribu-
tion of labor throughout the country, provided
that such distribution shall not cause the de-
terioration of the present standards of wages,
conditions and hours of employment of Ameri-
can workers, or impair their efforts to improve
them.
2. That we also urge upon the legislatures of
the various states the establishment or recon-
struction of 'free state employment agencies
conforming to the following essential principles:
First. That appointments and tenure of office
be governed by the merit system and be placed
beyond the control of political parties.
Second. That appropriations should be sufficient
to make the agencies effective in the highest
possible degree.
Third. That the agencies constitute a network
of central bureaus and branch offices under cen-
tral control and direction.
Fourth. That these agencies be so adminis-
tered as to eo-operare with municipal and fed-
eral bureaus so as to constitute a truly national
system.
Fifth. That every bureau or office be required
to register every application as well us every
position secured.
Sixth. That frequent reports, publications and
other notices give nromnt information as to
those seeking emnloyment.
Seventh. That these agencies may be held
true to their character as belonging to the
public and remain neutral in all trade disputes.
3. We recommend that municipalities direct
tion and control of the federal government,
where they send labor from state to state or to
persons or corporations engaged in interstate
commerce in case of interstate business, and
of the state authority where they are engaged
in distributing labor within a state.
6. We recommend that the American Associa-
tion for Labor Legislation, in affiliation with
the American Section of the International As-
sociation on Unemployment, prosecute .a thor-
ough Investigation of the following aspects of
the problem of unemployment, and at the
same time initiate and promote public action:
First. The labor market, exchanges, statistics,
faci.ities for special classes, advertising, emer-
gency measures, relief agencies.
Second. Regularization of industry— seasonal In-
dustries, dovetailing of industries, adjustment
of large contracts to run longer periods, casual
labor, civil service methods.
Third. Vocational guidance.
Fourth. Legislation— employment agencies, un-
employment insurance.
IDLENESS AMONG ORGANIZED WAGE
EARNERS.
Complaints of unemployment were general
throughout the United States in 1914. but official
figures were lacking. The F«ew York state de-
partment of labor issued a report on "idleness
among organized wage earners," but the figures
were for 1913 and. of course, were for the
state of New York alone. They are interesting,
however, as indicating the time when the era
of depression in the labor world began and to
some extent the cause. Summarizing the situ-
ation tne Labor Bulletin (February. 1914) said:
"The returns received by the state depart-
ment of labor from labor organizations Indicate:
"That idleness was more extensive in 1913
than In 1912:
"That the increase in Idleness was due chiefly
to a lessened demand for labor:
"That in the first half of the year unem-
ployment (idleness due to the condition of trade)
was not. for the six months as a whole, marked-
ly different from that In 1912. but after March
was considerably higher than the average for re-
cent years:
"That in the second half of the year unem-
Eloyment was not only greater than in 1912.
ut was greater than in any other recent ye?ir
except 1908 and very nearly equaled that year:
"That up to the last two months of the year
the increase over former years in unemploy-
ment remained practically constant, but that in
each of the last two months the increase grew
larger :
"That at the close of the year unemploy-
ment, especially In New York city, has reached
a point in excess of that shown in any of the
last nine years."
The following table shows the mean monthly
percentage of idleness in representative trade
unions in New York state by industries:

Idleness Is due to three principal causes — la-
bor disputes, disability and unemployment caused
ehipflv by lick of work. The Idleness due to
disability remained at the usual figure. The
mean Idleness for the year 1913 caused by labor
disputes was 8.5 per cent, as compared with 0.9
per cent in 1912, but this was due in great
measure to the garment workers' strike In New

York city, lasting from Dec. 30. 1912, to March
12. 1913. The mean percentage of idleness for
the year 1913 due to the condition of the trade
was 20.9. as against 15.2 for 1912.
UNEMPLOYMENT IN NEW YORK CITY.
Feb. 2. 1914, the Association for Improving
the Condition of the Poor estimated that "on
any given day this winter there are at least
325.000 men unemployed in this city." These
figures were challenged by James M. Mitchell,
New York commissioner of labor, and others
also considered them too larjte. but no authorita-
tive figures were produced.
UNEMPLOYMENT IN CHICAGO.
The police department of Chicago concluded
a census of the unemployed in the city March
4, 1914. The number of idle in the city was
placed at 45,617, distributed as follows: Resi-
dents of the city, 38.293; skilled. 12.774; for-
eigners, 32,278; honestly seeking work. 32,812.
Other estimates of the unemployed ranged as
high as 100,000.

PLAN OF THE CANAL.
The entire length of the Panama canal from
deep water In the Atlantic to deep water in the
Pacific is 50.5 miles. Its length on land is 40.6
miles. In passing through the canal from the
Atlantic to the Pacific a vessel enters a channel
with a bottom width of 500 feet in Llmon bay
and follows this for about seven miles to Gatun.
where it enters a series of three locks in flight
and is lifted eighty-five feet to the level of the
Gatun lake. It sails at full ocean speed through
this lake. In a channel varying from l.OQQ
to 500 feet in width, for a distance of about
twenty-four miles, to Bas Obispo. where it en-
ters the Culebra cut. It sails through the cut,
a distance of about nine miles, in a channel
with a bottom width of 300 feet, to Pedro Mi-
guel. There it enters a lock and is lowered 30%
feet to a small lake at an elevation of 64%
feet above sea level, and sails through this for
about IV, miles to Miraflores. There it enters
two locks in series and is lowered to sea level,
passing out Into the Pacific through a channel
SVi miles in length, with a bottom width of 500
feet. The depth of the approach channel on the
Atlantic side, where the tidal oscillation does
not exceed IV> feet, is 41 feet at mean tide.
218
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
and on the Pacific side, where the maximum
oscillation is 23 feet, the depth is 45 feet at
mean tide.
GATDN DAM.
The Gatun dam. which forms Gatun lake by
impounding the waters of the Chagres river and
other streams, is nearly 1% miles long measured
on its crest, nearly half a mile wide at its base,
about 400 feet wide at the water surface, about
100 feet wide at the top and its crest is at an
elevation of 115 feet above mean sea level, or
30 feet above the normal level of the lake. The
top and upstream slope are riprapped. The
spillway is a concrete lined opening 1.200 feet
long and 300 feet wide, cut through a hill of
rock nearly in the center of the dam. the bot-
tom of the opening being ten feet above sea
level. It is fitted with gates and machinery for
regulating the water level of the lake.
The water level of Gatun lake, extending
through the Culebra cut. is maintained at the
south end by an earth dam connecting the locks
at Pedro Miguel with the high ground to the
westward, about 1.700 feet long, with its crest
at an elevation of 105 feet above mean tide. A
small lake between the locks at Pedro Miguel
and Miraflores is formed by dams connecting the
walls of Miraflores locks with the high ground
on either side. The dam to the westward is of
earth, about 2.700 feet long, having its crest
about 15 feet above the water in Miraflores lake.
The east dam is of concrete, about 500 feet long,
and forms a spillway for Miraflores lake, with
crest gates similar to those at the spillway of
the Gatun dam.
GATUN LAKE.
Gatun lake covers an area of 164 square miles,
with a depth in the ship channel varying from
85 to 45 feet. Throughout the first 16 miles from
Gatun the width of the channel is 1.000 feet:
then for 4 miles it is 800 feet and for 4 miles
more 500 feet, when the entrance to Culebra
cut at Bas Obispo, is reached. The wateV level
in the cut is that of the lake and the bottom
width of the channel is 300 feet.
THE LOCKS.
There are twelve locks in the canal, all in du-
plicate: three pairs in flight at Gatun, with a
combined lift of 85 feet: one pair at Pedro Mi-
guel, with a lift of 30% feet, and two pairs at
Miraflores. with a combined lift of 54% feet at
mean tide. The dimensions of all are the same—
a usable length of 1.000 feet and a usable width
of 110 feet. Each lock is a chamber, with walls
and floors of concrete and water tight gates at
each end.
The side walls are 45 -to 50 feet wide at the
surface of floor, perpendicular on the face and
narrow from the point 24% feet above the floor
until they are 8 feet wide at the top. The mid-
dle wall is 60 feet wide, approximately 81 feet
high and each face is vertical. • At a point 42%
feet above the surface of the floor and 15 feet
above the top of the middle culvert this wall
divides into two parts, leaving a space down
the center much like the letter "U," which is
19 feet wide at the bottom. In this center
space, which is 44 feetT wide at the top. is a
tunnel divided into three stories or galleries.
The lowest gallery is for drainage: the middle
for the wires that carry the electric current to
operate the gate and valve machinery, which
will be installed in the center wall, and the
upper is a passageway for the operators. The
lock chambers are filled and emptied through
lateral culverts in the floors, connected with
main culverts. 18 feet in diameter, in the walls,
the water flowing in and out by gravity.
The lock gates are steel structures. 7 feet
thick. 65 feet long and from 47 to 82 feet high.
Thfy weigh from 300 to 600 tons each. For the
entire canal 92 leaves are required, the total
weighing 67.000 tons. Intermediate gates are used
In the locks to save water and time, if desired.
in locking small vessels through, the gates being
so fixed as to divide the locks into chambers
600 and 400 feet long respectively. Of the vos-
sels navigating the high seas 95 per cent are
less than 600 feet long.
Np vessel is permitted to en^er or pass through
the locks under Its own power. Electricity is
used to tow all vessels into and through the
locks and to operate all gates and valves, power
being generated by water turbines from the head
created by Gatun lake. The time required to
pass a vessel through all the locks is three
hours, one hour and a half in the three locks at
Gatun and about -the same time in the three
locks on the Pacific side. Time of the passage
of a vessel through the entire canal varies from
ten to twelve hours.
CANAL ZONE.
The Canal Zone contains about 448 square
miles. It begins at a point three marine mile*
from mean low water mark in each ocean and
extends for five miles on each side of the center
line of the route of the canal. It includes the
group of islands in the Bay of Panama, named
Perico. Naos. Culebra and Flamenco. The cities
of Panama and Colon are excluded from the
zone_ but the United States has the right to en-
force sanitary ordinances and maintain public
order there in case the republic of Panama
should not be able to do so. Of the 448 square
miles in the zone the United States owns 322
and private persons 126. The private property
may. however, be acquired at any time by the
United States by purchase or by the exercise of
the right of eminent domain.
COMPLETION OF CANAL.
The Panama canal would have been completed
early in the fall of 1913 so that small vessels
could have passed through it but for delays oc-
casioned by slides and breaks in the Culebra cut.
This necessitated a large amount of additional
excavation by steam shovels and dredges. Dry
excavation was completed Sept. 10. The massive
Gatun dam was finished June 14 and Sept. 26 the
first vessel, a tug. was locked through the gates.
At the Pacific end canal vessels passed through
the Miraflores and Pedro Miguel locks Oct. 14
and 15, 1913. Dredges were put at work at both
ends of the principal slide at Cucaracha on the
east bank of the canal just south of Gold Hill,
to excavate a passage which would permit water
communication from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
By Aug. 14. 1914, a channel had been excavated
wide and deep enough to permit all but vessels
of a very large size to pass through and on that
date the canal was opened for general traffic.
A number of freight barges had passed through
as early as May 14.
TOLLS.
Under the Panama canal act. approved Aug. 24,
1912, the president of the United States is au-
thorized to fix the tolls to be charged for use
of the canal. He may change them by giving
six months' notice. The act provided that no
tolls should be levied upon vessels engaged in the
coastwise trade of the United States, but this
clause was repealed by congress June 15, 1914,
(See "Panama Canal Tolls Act" in this volume.)
Vessels owned by railroads or by any company
or person doing business in violation of antitrust
laws are excluded from the use of the canal.
By a proclamation issued Nov. 13. 1912. Presi-
dent Taft fixed the tolls to be paid by foreign
shipping for passage through the Panama canal
as follows:
On merchant vessels carrying passengers or
cargo, $1.20 per net vessel ton — each 100 cubic
feet — of actual earning capacity.
On vessels in ballast without passengers or
cargo, 40 per cent less than the rate of tolls for
vessels with passengers or cargo.
Upon naval vessels other than transports, col-
liers, hospital ships and supply ships, 50 cents
per displacement ton.
Upon army and navy transports, colliers, hos-
pital ships and supply ships, $1.20 per net ton.
the vessels to be measured by the same rules
as are employed in determining tbe net tonnage
of merchant vessels.
CANAL FORCE.
The total force at work on the canal and rail-
road June 24. 1914. was 29,673. Canal employes
numbered 25.289. Panama railroad 4.343 nnd non-
tractors' employes 41. The number of "gold" or
white American employes was 4.257. The great
majority of laborers were West Indian negroes,

CANAL EARNINGS.
The first receipts from the use of the canal
were reported in May. 1914, and consisted princi-
pally of tolls collected from freight transshipped
at Balboa and taken through to Cristobal on
barges to relieve the congestion existing at that
time on the railroad. The canal was officially
opened to commerce Aug. 15. and for the re-
mainder of that month the receipts amounted to
$91,664.55. The August earnings in detail were:

PANAMA CANAL TOLLS ACT.
EXEMPTION CLAUSE REPEALED.
Before the Panama canal bill became a law
(Aug. 24, 1912), Great Britain had protested that
the paragraph exempting American vessels in the
coastwise trade from the payment of tolls was in
violation of section 1, article 3, of the Hay-
Pauncefote treaty of Nov. 8. 1901, proviuing for
the neutrality of the proposed isthmian canal.
This treaty was entered into to remove any ob-
jection which might arise under the Clayton-
Bulwer treaty of April 19. 1850. Section 1. arti-
cle 3. of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty provides:
"The canal shall be free and open to the ves-
sels of commerce and of war of all nations ob-
serving these rules on terms of entire equality,
so that there shall be no discrimination against
any nation or its subjects in respect of the con-
ditions or charges of traffic or otherwise. Such
conditions and charges of traffic shall be just
and reasonable."
After the passage of the Panama canal act with
the paragraph exempting American coastwise ves-
sels from paying tolls Great Britain, through
Ambassador Bryce, presented a formal protest
Dec. 9, 1912, insisting that the exemption was
contrary to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty as inter-
preted in the light of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
Jan. 23, 1913, Secretary of State Knox replied to
the British protest, declaring that the American
coastwise trade would not be permitted to extend
its operations into foreign competitive fields, and
that increased tolls would not be laid on foreign
shipping to balance the remission to American
ships. He said he could not agree with the
British interpretation of the canal treaties so far
as they limit the freedom of action of America
or infringe on -British treaty rights.
The matter was the .subject of controversy in
and out of congress for many months. The «p-
ponents of tolls exemption for American coast-
wise vessels, led by Senator Elihu Root of New
York, maintained that national honor required
the observance of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty as
viewed by Great Britain. The defenders of the
exemption clause in the Panama canal act in-
sisted that the hands of the United States were
not tied by the treaty. They claimed that the
words "all nations" did not apply to the country
that built the canal but to foreign nations.
President Wilson after his inauguration March
4, 1913. was occupied with tariff and currency
legislation and did not have an opportunity to
consider the canal tolls matter until he had been
in office a full year. Up to that time, so far as
official action was concerned, the subject re-
mained in abeyance.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
March 5, 1914. President Wilson read the fol-
lowing message to the house and senate in joint
session:
"Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, gentlemen of the
congress: I have come to you upon an errand
which can be very briefly performed, but I beg
that you will not measure its importance by the
number of sentences in which I state it. No
communication I have addressed to the congress
carried with it graver or more far-reaching Im-
plications as to the interest of the country, and I
which I am charged in a peculiar degree, by the
constitution itself, with personal responsibility.
"I have come to ask you for the repeal of that
provision of the Panama canal act of Aug. 24,
1912, which exempts vessels engaged in the coast-
wise trade of the United States from payment of

tolls, and to urge upon you the justice, the wis-
dom and the large policy of such a repeal with
the utmost earnestness of which I am capable.

and maturely formed, that exemption constitutes

Turmoil and bloodshed continued in Mexico
throughout the year 1914 up to the time this edi-
tion of the Almanac aud Year-Book went to
press. The United States was obliged to take a
hand in the conflict and. though no war was for-
mally declared, the military and naval forces of
the country were used in taking temporary pos-
session of the port of Vera Cruz. This was not
accomplished without an armed struggle in which
a number of lives were lost on both sides and it
looked for a time as if a serious war could not
be averted. The policy of President Wilson to
apply peaceful and moral pressure to the situa-
tion prevailed and succeeded at least to the ex-
tent of finally forcing Victoriano Huerta from
the presidential chair in the City of Mexico and
sending him into exile.
When the year opened the war between the
constitutionalists and the federals was still in
progress. The northern division of the federal
army was driven across the American border near
Presidio, Tex., Jan. 10. where 2,800 soldiers and
1,500 camp followers surrendered to the American
troops. They afterward were interned at Fort
Wingate in New Mexico.
While Gen. Venustiano Carranza was nominally
the commander in chief of the rebel forces in the
north, it became evident early in the year that
the real fighting leader was Gen. Francisco Villa,
also known as Pancho Villa. He was credited
with being ignorant, bloodthirsty and the posses-
sor of a long criminal record, but he had cour-
age and some military ability and managed to ac-
quire great influence over the rank and file of
the rebels. He was charged with aiming at the
presidency of Mexico himself, but disclaimed any
such ambition.
In an effort to bring President Huerta to terms
President Wilson issued a proclamation Feh 3
revoking the embargo on arms applied to Mex-
ico by President Taft. It was officially explained
at the white house that the Taft order of March
14, 1912. was intended to discourage incipient re-
volts against the regularly constituted authorities
of Mexico, but that since then the circumstances
of the case had radically changed. "There is
now no constitutional government in Mexico."
declared the presid«nt, "and the existence of
this order hinders and delays the thing the gov-
ernment of the United States is now insisting
upon, namely, that Mexico shall be left free to
settle her own affairs and as soon as possible put
them upon a constitutional footing by her own
force and counsel." The lifting of the embargo
was followed by heavy shipments of arms and
ammunition to the rebel forces in northern Mexi-
co. At the same time President Huerta took
steps to increase the federal forces in the field.
One of the incidents of the guerrilla warfare in
the north of Mexico at this time was the d«lib-
erate wrecking of a passenger train in the Cum-
bre railroad tunnel, Feb. 4, resulting in the
death by wounds or fire of seventeen Americans
and forty-one Mexicans. The crime was laid at
the door of a bandit named Maximo Castillo,
who was subsequently captured on American soil,
near Hachita. N. M.
KILLING OF BENTON.
Feb. 14 Clemente Vergara, an American citizen,
was lured over the border into Mexico and killed
by federal soldiers at Hidalgo. March 8 his body
was exhumed at night from the cemetery and
brought to Texas, where it was turned over to
his relatives. Before this occurred, however, the
excitement along the frontier had been fanned to
fever heat by the killing of William S. Benton.
a British sub.lect. Feb. 17, at or near Juarez,
Mexico. It was at first alleged that he was shot
by Gen. Villa himself, but afterward it was
claimed that he had been executed after a trial
by court-martial. The crime did not become
known until three days liter, when it was re-
oortsd in El Paso. The citizens held a meeting
IN MEXICO.
on the evening of Feb. 20 at which resolutions
were adopted protesting against the reign of
criminal lawlessness in Mexico, the confiscation
of tha property of foreigners, the murder of Ben-
ton and many others, the brutal mistreatment of
women and the bloody careers of such men as
Gen. Inez Salazar, Maximo Castillo and Fran-
cisco Villa, and demanding that steps be taken
to make all the facts public and to protect
American citizens in Mexico.
Secretary Bryan ordered a full investigation
into the killing of Beuton and arrangements were
made for a commission composed of Majs. W. T.
Davidson and C. J. Manley. army surgeons:
George C. Carothers, special agent of the state
department, and Charles Perceval. British consul
at Galveston. to make the inquiry, but nothing
was accomplished. Gen. Villa told conflicting
stories and. apparently alarmed by the storm he
had aroused, left Juarez and went to Chihuahua.
He then announced that Benton's body had been
brought to the latter city and buried in the
cemetery, where it might be disinterred and ex-
amined on certain conditions. The British peo-
ple and parliament were stirred over the af-
fair, but the authorities concluded to rely upon
the American government to see that justice was
done. Secretary Bryan, getting no satisfaction
from Gen. Villa, appealed to Gen. Carrnnza. who
retorted that he should have been called upon in
the first place for information, but in any event
the American state department had no right to
inquire into a matter concerning the British gov-
ernment. He. however, let it be made known
that he had ordered an investigation on behalf
of the constitutionalists. This was on Feb. 28,
and the next day the proposed trip of the Anglo-
American commission to Chihuahua to examine
Benton's body to determine the manner of his
death was countermanded by Secretary Bryan.
Both Villa and Carranza firmly declined to per-
mit the inquiry to proceed.
Gen. Carranza appointed a commission March
3 to investigate the Benton kil'ing. This commis-
sion reported April 5 that Benton was killed, not
at Juarez and not after a court-martial, but at
Samalayuca. thirty-two miles south of Juarez,
and that the man responsible for his death was
Rodolfo Fierro. a rebel major and superintendent
of railways for Gen. Villa. The latter, accord-
ing to the report, had a quarrel in Juarez with
Benton. who applied many epithets to him and
threatened him. Thereupon Villa had Benton ar-
rested and placed in Maj. Fierro's charge, with
instructions to take him to 1ail in Chihuahua.
On the way there Fierro killed his prisoner and
reported to Villa that he did it because Benton
tried to escape. Villa's legal advisers suggested
to him that a fake court-martial be held and
that the report be made that Benton was exe-
cuted by order of that body. This was done. On
his way to Chihuahua Villa had Benton's body
disinterred and then discovered pistol and rifle
wounds which could not have been made if the
man had been trying to escape. He took the
body to Chihuahua for burial and then placed
Fierro in .iail. The report exonerated Villa and
held Fierro solely responsible.
March 9 Albert B. Fall of New Mexico made a
speech in the United States senate in which he
gave a long list of outrages committed, in Mex-
ico since the revolution began in which Ameri-
cans and persons from other countries were the
victims of robbery, assault, outrage and murder
without any effort having been made by the
American government to obtain reparation. Gov.
0. B. Colquitt of Texas added fuel to the flnmes
by complaining that the people along the Mexi-
can border were given inadequate protection and
proposing to use state troops for that purpose.
"I take the position," he said, "that each state
has the right of self-defense and ought to defend
that right when the federal government does not
afford the necessary protection."
To meet the criticism of Gov. Colquitt and oth-
ers holding similar views the Washington author-
ities ordered two more regiments to the Mexican
border. March 11, making a total of about 18.000
men in the field. Nearly 11,000 of these were in
camp at Texas City under command of Brig.-

scattered along the frontier from Brownsville,

Laredo. Eagle Pass and Brownsville.
Gen. Villa left Cbihuahua March 16 to take
charge of a concentration of rebel troops against
Torreon. President Huerta made energetic ef-
forts to send re-enforcements toward the north,
but his troops did not appear to be eager for
service in that part of the country. Some of
them threatened to mutiny and 149 of them were
lined up against a stone wall at Jojutla and shot
down by firing squads. The Mexican newspapers
announced that more men were executed on this
occasion than at any other time since "Gen Scott
hanged seventy-eight deserters in the suburbs of
the capital in 1847."
CAPTURE OF TORREON.
Fighting for the possession of Torreon began
on the afternoon of March 21. the rebels under
Gen. Villa. Gen. Benavides and Gen. Garcia tak-
ing possession of the towns of Bermejillo, Lerdo
and Mapimi to the north and northwest of the
city. The federals offered a determined resist-
ance at Gomez Palacio, a few miles out from
Torreon. and here, from the 23d to the 26th, one
of the first real battles of the revolution was
fought. The. final assault on the town was deliv-
ered on the 26th. and on the 27th Gen. Villa en-
tered the place with his troops. There was no
halt in the advance; the federals fell back slowly
and it was not until late on the evening of April
2 that the rebels were in full possession of Tgr-
reon. Gen. Refugio Velasco. the federal com-
mander, and his troops retreated toward the
south and east and most of them escaped. In a
telegram to Gen. Carranza announcing the victory
Gen. Villa said:
"In this moment the remnants of the federals
are leaving Torreon in flight— after eleven days
of terrible fighting in which we lost 500 killed and
1.500 wounded, while the federals, from the enor-
mous number of bodies burned, must have hid
more than 1,000 killed. The number of wounded
I am unable to estimate."
Until the capture of Torreon the rebels had
suffered severely from thirst, hunger, heat and
fatigue. After the town fell into their hands
they had an abundant supply of everything. The
pursuit of the federals was vigorous and contin-
ued until April 13. when Gen. Velasco's fleeing
army was defeated at San Pedro de las Colonies,
forty miles east of Torreon, after nine days of
fighting in which the rebels lost 5.000 in killed
and wounded. The federal losses were equally
heavy.
One of Gen. Villa's first acts after the capture
of Torreon was to order the deportation of some
600 Spanish residents of the city on the ground
that they were inimical to the revolution. They
were loaded on trains and sent to El Paso, Tex.,
where they arrived April 8. Appeals by the
Spanish government on their behalf were reject-
3d by Gen. Carranza and the other rebel leaders.
AMERICAN FLAG INSULTED.
Following the fall of Torreon the rebels began
nctive operations against Monterey and Tampico,
but interest in these ceased when public atten-
tion was suddenly centered upon an incident at
Tampico. which had most serious consequences.
On the morning of April 9 the paymaster of thp
United States gunboat Dolphin. Charles C. Copn.
and seven men in a whaleboat flying the Ameri-
can flag put in at the Iturbide bridge landing in
Tampico for a supply of gasoline. The men were
in uniform but unarmed. A department of Mexi-
can federals, commanded by Col. Hinojosa.
placed the paymaster and his men un'lor arrest,
marched them through the streets and then, by
order of a superior officer, released them. Later
in the day Rear-Admiral Henry T. Mayo, in com-
mand of the American naval forces at Tainnii-n,
sent the following letter to Gen. Ignacio Morelos
Zaragoza, the federal commander of the Tam-
pico garrison:
"This morning an officer and squad of men of
the Mexican military forces arrested and
marched through the streets of Tampico a com-
missioned officer of the United States navy, the
paymaster of Dolphin, together with seven men
composing the crew of the whaleboat of the
Dolphin. At the time of this arrest the officer
and men concerned were unarmed and engaged
In loading cases of gasoline, which had been pur-
chased on shore. Part of the men were on the
shore, but all. including the man or men in the
boat, were forced to accompany armed Mexican
forces.
"I do not need to tell you that taking men
from a boat flying the United States flag is a
hostile act not to be excused. I have already re-
ceived your verbal message of regret that this
event has happened and your statement that it
was committed by an ignorant officer. The re-
sponsibility for a hostile act cannot be avoided
by the plea of ignorance.
"In view of the publicity of this occurrence, I
must require that you send by suitable members
of your staff formal disavowal and apology for
the act, together with your assurance that the
officer responsible for it will receive severe pun-
ishment. Also that you publicly hoist the United
States flag in a prominent position on shore and
salute it with twenty-one guns. The salute will
be returned by this ship.
"Your answer to this communication should
reach me and the called for salute be fired with-
in twenty-four hours from 6 p. m. of this date."
Gen. Zaragoza complied with Admiral Mayo's
demand for an apology and for the punishment
of Col. Hinojosa, but declined to fire the salute
to the American flag except by order of Gen.
Huerta. The provisional president approved of
the apology and the punishment of the subordi-
nate officer, but he maintained that there was
no occasion for saluting the flag. The hour set
for firing the salute was 6 p. m. Friday. April
10, but as the exchange of dispatches between
Admiral Mayo and the authorities in Washington
and the Mexican capital .were then in progress
the time was extended until a definite under-
standing could be arrived at.
President Wilson and Secretary of the Nnvy
Daniels both approved of Admiral Mayo's action
and declared that the salute would be fired,
though the element of time was not considered
important by them in view of the difficulties
of communication between Washington and
Mexico. John Llnd arrived in Washington April
13 and during the following days and weeks was
in frequent conference with the president and
Secretary Bryan.
By direction of President Wilson orders were
issued April 14 for the concentration of the At-
lantic fleet at Tampico and Vera Cruz and of
the Pacific fleet at ports on the west coast of
Mexico. At the same time Americans in that
country were advised to leave as soon as possible.
This action followed a cabinet meeting in Wash-
ington in which the whole Mexican situation
was reviewed. At this time the war vessels at
Tampico under command of Rear-Admiral Mayo
were the battle ships Utah, Connecticut and
Minnesota, the cruisers Chester and Des Moines
and the gunboat Dolphin. At Vera Cruz under
Rear-Admiral Fletcher were the battle ship Flori-
da, the transport Prairie, the mine depot ship
San Francisco, the fuel ship Cyclops and the
hospital ship Solace. The other ships of the fleet
were at various Atlantic ports of the United
States and preparations were at once made to
send most of them to Tampico under Uear-Ad-
miral Charles J. Badger, the commander in chief.
Rear-Admiral Badger sailed from Hampton roads
at noon. April 15, with the battle ships Arkansas.
New Hampshire, Vermont and New Jersey, the
collier Lebanon and the naval tugs Patuxent,
Sonoma and Patapsco.
On the 16th it was reported that Gen. Huerta
ha-1 agreed to fire a salute of twenty -one guns
to the American flag as demanded by Admiral
Mayo. This for a time led to the belief that
the "Tampico incident" would speedily be closed,
but no orders to recall the Atlantic fleet were
issued. It soon developed, however, that Huerta
would consent to the salute only on condition
that it be returned gun for gun by an American
warship. On the 17th Charge d'Affaires O'Shaugh-
224
ALMANAC AND TEAR-BOOK FOB 1015.
nessy was instructed to Inform Huerta that such
a condition was inadmissible, though a return
salute would be fired in accordance with custom
at the conclusion of the Mexican salute to the
flag. This message was duly conveyed to the
federal president.
Saturday, April 18, the following statement was
issued at the white house in Washington:
•'Gen. Huerta is still insisting upon doing
something less than had been demanded and
something less than would constitute an ac-
knowledgment that his representatives were en-
tirely in the wrong in the indignities they have
put upon the government of the United States.
The president has determined that if Gen. Huerta
has not yielded by 6 o'clock on Sunday afternoon:
he will take the matter to congress on Monday."
MEXICO'S SIDE OF CASE.
This ultimatum was transmitted to Gen. Huerta
by Charge O'Shaughnessy and the following reply
signed by Senor Portillo y Rojas, Mexican for-
eign minister, was handed to the American repre-
sentative at 6 o'clock Sunday evening, April 19.
"On the 9th of the present month, between
11 a. m. and noon, a boat without an American
flag and with nine marines and one officer landed
at a point celled the Beach of Iturblde In Tam-
plco. Col. Raymond Hinojosa, who has charge
of defending that point, detained the marines
and otflcer and conducted them to the presence
of the general who had command of the port,
Ignaclo Morelos Zaragoza. It should be remem-
bered that at this time the port not only was
under military control, but was withstanding an
attack by rebe's.
"Gen Zaragoza. Immediately and without even
investigating the case put the marines and the
officer at liberty, placed Hinojosa in prison, and
sent au apology to Rear-Admiral Mayo, the com-
mander of the American fleet.
"We thought the incident was closed, but un-
fortunately this was not so, because Mayo sent
to him somo time afterward an ultimatum In
which he asked that a second apology be pre-
sented to him by the staff of the chief of the
fort. Gen, Zaragoza; that the American flag be
hoisted at a public place in Tampieo and saluted
by twenty-one guns and besides the severe pun-
ishment of Hinojosa, stipulating that all this
be done within twenty-four hours. The time
was extended when diplomatic pourparlers were
begun between the subsecretary of foreign affairs
In Mexico, the minister being absent at that
date, and continued until now.
"President Huerta, when informed of the case,
ordered another investigation of the facts and
the punishment of the guilty officer, if it were
proved he was blameworthy. He also authorized
the minister of foreign affairs to express regret
on account of the incident.
"When he became aware that the American,
government supported the request of Rear-Ad-
miral Mayo relative to a salute to the American
flag, which had not been insulted, he proposed
to show his good will toward the American
people, although he did not think thit such a
request was just, proposing that the flags of the
t\vo nations be hoisted and saluted reciprocally
and simultaneously.
"The American government did not agree with
that idea, but insisted upon Rear-Admiral Sla^o's
request, giving assurance that according to inter-
national practice the salute would be returned
by American cannon after the salute to the
American flag. This was not accepted by Presi-
dent Huerta, who insisted upon his proposition.
"Then the American government determined
that pourparlers be brought to an end by the
final decision of President Huerta within a term
which expired at 6 o'clock Sunday night, an-
nduneing that if by that time he had not agreed
to the salute of the American flag as reque-'ted
the affair would be presented to the American
congress for decision.
"The Mexican government, believing the salute
In question was of no Importance, unless previ-
ously nnd formally agreed upon by both parties,
proposed the signing of a protocol and the minis-
ter of foreign affairs presented last night a draft
of such protocol to the American charge d'af-
faires. Nelson O'Shaughnessy.
"O'Shaughnessy answered that he must consult
his government; that he wou d advise the minis-
ter of the nature of this answer and he later
communicated to the minister the fact that' his
government did not accept the idea of a signa-
ture of any protocol whatever, but wanted an un-
conditional salute of the American flag.
"This the Mexican government refused, feel-
in? it had done all possible, In view of the
friendly understanding between the two govern-
ments, and believing the acceptance of such an
imposition would be equivalent to yielding by
Mexico to humiliation. The Mexican government
is confident that the civilized world will find its
conduct has been wise and temperate, that It
has observed all the requirements of international
law and that the refusal to yield further Is In-
spired only by a regard for Its honor and dig-
nity."
PROTOCOL PROPOSED.
The draft of the protocol by Mexico, refused
signature by the United States, put Into formal
shape the proposition that the flags of the United
States and Mexico be hoisted and saluted recip-
rocally and simultaneously.
President Wilson was at White Sulphur Springs,
W. Va., when the matter of signing a protocol
came up early on Sunday morning, but Secretary
Bryan cabled to Mr. O'Shaughnessy that the
signature to a protocol was impossible, as it
might be construed as a recognition of the Huerta
government. Mr. Wilson, informed of Mr. Bryan's
reply, telegraphed his emphatic approval and
instructed the secretary of state to advise Mr.
O'Shaughnessy that the American government's
terms were unconditional.
Upon receiving the refusal of President Huerta
to accede to the unconditional demand of the
government of the United States. Charge
O'Shaughnessy informed the Mexican foreign of-
fice that so far as the American embassy was
concerned the matter was closed.
On return of President Wilson to Washington
on the morning of April 20 a conference was
he'd at the white house in which the president.
Secretaries Bryan, Garrison and Daniels, Rear-
Admirals Blue and Fiske. and John Lind took
part. It was then decided that the port of Vera
Cruz should be seized by the navy and held
until the dispute with the Huerta government
in Mexico had been settled. This plan had evi-
dently been previously considered, as the At-
lantic fleet under Rear-Admiral Badger proceeded
directly to Vera Cruz instead of to Tampieo.
The president advised congress that he would
address it on the Mexican situation in the after-
noon at 3 o'clock.
LAID BEFORE CONGRESS.
When that hour arrived the hall of the house
of representatives was completely filled and
hundreds were unable to obtain admittance. The
president entered at 3 o'clock and after a formal
introduction by Speaker Clark read his message,
being thrice interrupted by applause. He said:
"Gentlemen of the congress: It is my duty to
call your attention to a situation which has
arisen in our dealings with Gen. Victoriano
Huerta at Mexico City, which calls for action,
and to ask your advice and co-operation in act-
ing upon it. On the 9th of April a paymaster of
the U. S. S. Dolphin landed at the Iturbide
bridge landing at Tampieo with a whaleboat and
boat's crew to take off certain supplies needed
by his ship, and whi e engaged in loading the
boat was arrested by an officer and squad of men
of the army of Gen. Huerta. Neither the pay-
master nor any one of the boat's crew was armed.
Two of the men were in the boat when the ar-
rest took place, and were obliged to leave it
and submit to be taken into custody, notwith-
standing the fact that the boat carried, both at
her bow and at her stern, the flag of the United
States. The officer who made the arrest was
proceeding up one of the streets of the town with
his prisoners when met by an officer of higher
authority, who ordered him to return to the laud-
ALMANAC A\t> ^EAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
228
Ing and await orders: and within an hour and
a half from the time of the arrest orders were
received from the commander of th<j Huertlsta
forces at Tampico for the release of the pay-
master and his men. The release was followed
by apologies from the commander and later by
an expression of regret by Gen. Huerta himself.
Gen. Huerta urged that martial law obtained at
the time at Tampico: that orders had been is-
sued that no one should be allowed to land at
the Iturblde bridge; and that our sailors had
no light to laud there. Our naval commanders
at the port had not been notified of any such
prohibition: and, even if they had been, the
only justifiable course open to the local authori-
ties would have been to request the paymaster
and his cre\v to withdraw and to lodge a pro-
test with the commanding officer of the fleet.
Admiral Mayo regarded the arrest as so serious
an affront that he was r.ot satisfied with the
apologies offered, but demanded that the flag of
the United States be saluted with special cere-
mony by the military commander of the port.
"The Incident cannot be regarded as a trivial
one, especially as two of the men arrested were
taken from the boat itself— that is to say, from
the territory of the United States— but had it
stood by itself it might have been attributed to
the ignorance or arrogance of a single officer.
Unfortunately, it was not an isolated case. A
series of incidents have recently occurred which
cannot but create the impression tint the repre-
sentatives of Gen. Huerta were willing to go
out of their way to show disregard for the
dignity and rights of this government and felt
perfectly safe in doing what they pleased, mak-
ing free to show in many ways their irritation
and contempt. A few days after the incident at
Tampico an orderly from the U. S. S. -Minnesota
was arrested at Vera Cruz while ashore in uni-
form to obtain the ship's mail and was for a
time thrown into jail. An official dispatch from
this government to Its embassy at Mexico City
was withheld by the authorities of the tele-
graphic service until peremptorily demanded by
our charge d'affaires In person. So far as I can
learn, such wrongs and annoyances have been
suffered to occur only against representatives of
the United States. I have heard of no complaints
from other governments of similar treatment.
Subsequent explanations and formal apologies
did not and could not alter the popular impres-
sion, which it is possible It bad been the object
of the Huertista authorities to create, that the
government of the United States was being sin-
gled out, and might be singled out with impunity,
for slights and affronts In retaliation for its re-
fusal to recognize the pretensions of Gen. Huerta
to be regarded as the constitutional provisional
president of the republic of Mexico.
"The manifest danger of such a situation was
that such offenses might grow from bad to
worse until something happened of so gross and
Intolerable a sort as to lead directly and in-
evitably to nrmed conflict. It was necessary that
the apologies of Gen. Huerta and his repre-
sentatives should go much further; that they
should be such as to attract the attention of
the whole population to their significance and
such as to impress upon Gen. Huerta himself
the necessity of seeing to it that no further oc-
casion for explanations and professed regrets
should arise. I therefore felt it my duty to sus-
tain Admiral Mayo in the whole of his demand
ai il to Insist that the flag of the United States
should be saluted In such a way as to indicate
a new spirit and attitude on the part of the
Huertistas.
"Such a salute Gen. Huerta has refused, and
I b/ive come to ask your approval and support
in the course I now purpose to pursue.
"This government can. I earnestly hope, in no
circumstances be forced into war with the people
of Mexico. Mexico Is torn by civil strife. If
we are to accept the tests of Us own constitu-
tion. It has no government. Gen. Huerta has set
his power up In the City of Mexico, such as It
is. without right and by methods for which
there can be no justification. Only part of the
country is under his control. If armed conflict
should unhappily come as a result of his atti-
tude of personal resentment toward this govern-
ment, we should be fighting only Gen. Huerta
and those who adhere to him and give him their
support, and our object would be only to restore
to the people of the distracted republic the
opportunity to set up again their own laws and
their own government.
"But I earnestly hope that war is not now in
question. I believe that 1 speak for the Ameri-
can people when I say that we do not desire to
control in any degree the affairs of our sister re-
public. Our feeling for the people of Mexico is
one of deep and genuine friendship, and every-
thing that we have so far done or refrained
from doing has proceeded from our desire to
help them, not to hinder or embarrass them.
We would not wish even to exercise the good
offices of friendship without their welcome and
consent. The people of Mexico are entitled to
settle their own domestic affairs in their own
way. and we sincerely desire to respect their
right. The present situation need have none of
the grave implications of Interference if we deal
with it promptly, firmly and wisely.
"No doubt I could do what is necessary In the
circumstances to enforce respect for our govern-
ment without recourse to the congress and yet
not exceed my constitutional powers as presi-
dent, but I do not wish to act in a matter pos-
sibly of so grave consequence except in close
conference and co-operation with both the senate
and house. I therefore come to ask your ap-
proval that I should use the armed forces of the
United States in such ways and to such an ex-
tent as may be necessary to obtain from Gen.
Huerta and his adherents the fullest recognition
of the rights and dignity of the United States
even amidst the distressing conditions now un-
happily obtaining in Mexico.
"There can In what we do be no thought of
aggression or of selfish aggrandizement. We
seek to maintain the dignity and authority of
the United States only because we wish always
to keep our great influence unimpaired for the
uses of liberty, both in the United States and
wherever else it may be employed for the benefit
of mankind."
USE OP ARMED FORCE JUSTIFIED.
Following the reading of the president's mes-
sage the joint session closed and each house met
separately to consider what action should be
taken. The house of representatives after a de-
bate of two hours passed the following joint res-
olution by a vote of 337 to S7:
"A joint resolution justifying the employment
of the armed forces of the United States in en-
forcing certain demands against Victoriano
Huerta:
"Resolved, by the senate and house of repre-
sentati^es in congress assembled. That the presi-
dent of the United States Is justified in the em-
ployment of the armed forces of the United
Sta'tes to enforce the demands upon Victoriano
Huerta for unequivocal amends to the govern-
ment of the United States for affronts and Indig-
nities committed against this government by Gen.
Huerta and his representatives."
The negative vote was cast by twenty-nine re-
publicans, five democrats, two progressives and
one Independent. The opponents of the resolution
maintained that the Tampico incident did not
justify war and objection was also made to the
naming of Victoriano Huerta individually.
When the resolution was received in the sen-
ate the same evening it was referred to the com-
mittee on foreign relations, which, after debate,
voted against the house resolution and In favor
of the following substitute, which was reported
B "Joint "resolution justifying the employment
by the president of the armed forces of the
"In view of 'the facts presented by the presU
dent of the United States In his address deliv-
ered to congress In Joint session on the 20th day
of April 1914 In regard to certain affronts and

in Mexico, be it
226
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1S15.
"Resolved, by the senate and house of repre-
sentatives of the United States in congress as-
sembled. That the president is justified in the
employment of the armed forces of the United
States to enforce his demand for unequivocal
amends for the affronts and indignities committed
against the United States.
"Be it further resolved. That the United States
disclaims any hostility to the Mexican people
or any purpose to make war upon them."
The name of Huerta was eliminated with the
consent of President Wilson on condition that
the resolution be so framed as to show that the
action to be taken would be solely against the
dictator. This did not satisfy a considerable
number of the senators, who favored a substi-
tute offered by Senator Lodge, the preamble of
which was as follows:
"That the state of unrest, violence and an-
archy which exists in Mexico, the numerous un-
checked and unpunished murders of American
citizens and the spoliation of their property in
that country, the impossibility of securing pro-
tection or redress by diplomatic methods in the
absence of lawful or effective authority, the in-
ability of Mexico to discharge its international
obligations, the unprovoked insults and indigni-
ties Inflicted upon the flag and the uniform of
the United States by the armed forces in occu-
pation of large parts of Mexican territory have
become Intolerable.
"That the self-respect and dignity of the
United States and the duty to protect its citi-
zens and its international rights require such
course to be followed in Mexico by our govern-
ment as to compel respect and observance of its
rights."
Finding that an extended debate on the reso-
lution was inevitable, the senate adjourned until
noon of the same day. when the discussion was
resumed. The opposition to the resolution as
reported by the foreign relations committee was
led by Senator Elihu Root of New York and
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts.
Senator Root in the course of a strong speech
favoring the Lodge substitute said:
"Lying behind the Insult to the American flag
are the lives of Americans destroyed, Americans
reduced to poverty because of the destruction of
their property. Lying behind it is a condition
of anarchy in Mexico, a condition which makes
it impossible to secure protection for American
life and property. It is that which makes neces-
sary the demand that public respect be paid
the flag of the United States.
"There is our justification. It is a justifica-
tion lying not in Victoriano Huerta or in his
conduct alone, but in the universal conduct of
affairs in Mexico, and the real object to be at-
tained by the course which we are asked to
approve is not the gratification of personal pride;
it is not the satisfaction of a government or of
an admiral: it is the desire of the United States
to protect its citizens under these conditions.
"If we omit from this resolution that we are
to pass here to-night the matters included in the
substitute preamble we omit the real reasons
behind the action. On the facts in the resolution
as reported by the committee we would be ever-
lastingly wrong. On the facts in the substitute
we could rest before the world, and before his-
tory, secure. •'
The committee resolution was vigorously de-
fended by Senators Benjamin F. Shively of 'Indi-
ana. John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, and
others. Mr. Williams said: "I want this reso-
lution to be so worded that the world shall
know that it shall be war on Huerta until either
Huerta salutes that flag or Hnerta becomes an
American prisoner or Huerta dies."
It was not until 3:21 a. m. of the 22d that a
vote was reached on the committee resolution,
which was passed by seventy-two yeas to thir-
teen nays. The senators, all republicans, voting
against the resolution were: Brnndegee, Bristow
Dillingham, Gallineer, La Follette, Lippitt,
Lodge, Norris. Oliver, Root, Smoot, Weeks and
Works. The resolution was engrossed, taken to
the bouse and there adopted by a viva voce
vote almost without opposition. It was signed
by the president the same day.
AMERICANS TAKE VERA CRUZ.
In the meantime decisive action had been
taken at Vera Cruz by the Beet under com-
mand of Rear-Admiral Frank F. Fletcher. Act-
lug on information that the Hamburg-American
steamer Ypiranga was outside the Mexican sea-
port with a cargo of arms and ammunition for
President Huerta, the authorities in Washing-
ton directed the admiral to take possession of
the custom house and prevent the delivery of the
war material.
Early in the forenoon of Tuesday. April 21.
Admiral Fletcher made a demand through the
American iconsul, W. W. Canada, on Gen. Gus-
tavo Ma as, commander of the Vera Cruz gar-
rison, that he permit the occupation of the
custom house by the forces of the United
States. Gen. Maas refused to comply with the
demand, whereupon the admiral ordered the
landing of marines and sailors and the seizure
of the custom house. Ten whaleboats loaded
with 390 marines were sent ashore from the
transport Prairie and a landing was effected at
11 a. m. A little later sixty-five marines and
150 bluejackets from the Florida and a detach-
ment from the Utah were ashore. Th» landing
party was under command of Capt. William R.
Rush of the Florida, -who ordered the men to
deploy along the approaches to the central plaza,
where the Mexican troops were concentrated.
Other marines and sailors were stationed along
the water front and before the American consul-
ate. No opposition was made at first, but soon
the Mexican troops began firing upon the marines,
who replied at once. Several volleys were ex-
changed two blocks from the main plaza and in
Montesinos street, where a squad of Mexicans
were posted. Gen. Maas' troops withdrew out-
side the city and apparently attempted a flank-
ing movement, which was prevented by shells
fired from the five and three inch guns of tho
Prairie. This ended the fighting between the
regular troops, but shooting continued from the
housetops at the marines and sailors through the
afternoon and night. The "snipers" were soldiers
and some civilians. Much of the shooting was
done from the top of the Diligencia hotel and
the old Benito Juarez tower, which was par-
tially destroyed by shells from the Prairie.
Within a short time after the landing the
American forces were in full possession of the
postoffice, government telegraph office, cable of-
fice, custom house and all that part of the city
in the vicinity of these structures. After this
had been accomplished the marines and sailors
were ordered to remain strictly on the defensive
until further orders.
In the preliminary fighting the casualties on
the American side were four killed and twenty
wounded. Those killed were: Daniel Haggerty,
private marine, Cambridge, Mass. ; Samuel Mar-
tin or Meisenberg, private marine, Chicago, 111. ;
George Poinsett, seaman, Philadelphia, Pa.;
John F. Schumacher, coxswain, Brooklyn, N. Y.
The Mexican loss was 126 killed and 195 wounded.
Members of the American colony in Vera Cruz,
together with many who arrived from Mexico
City on the forenoon of April 21, were takon
aboard the steamers Esperanza and Mexico,
which had been chartered for that purpose.
Others found refuge on the warships.
Rear-Admiral Charles J. Badger, commanding
the Atlantic fleet, arrived at Vera Cruz in the af-
ternoon with the battle shins Louisiana. New
Hampshire. Vermont, New Jersey, South Caro-
lina and Michigan, having been diverted from
Tamplco. It was arranged that Admiral Fletch-
er was to have charge of the land operations
while Admiral Badger brought his flag into the
harbor on the battle ship Minnesota.
CITY IS OCCUPIED.
On the morning of the 22d orders were given
to occupy the whole city. Firing was begun at
daybreak, the ships shelling the southern part of
the town. Many additional marines and sailors
were landed before sunrise and by 8 o'clock Ad-
miral Fletcher had nearly J.OOO men under hii

command, enabling him to make effective dispo-
sitions. Detachments of marines and sailors un-
der Lieut.-Col. Wendell C. Neville. Lieutenant-
Commander Allen Buchanan and Lieutenant-Com-
mander Arthur B. Keating advanced toward the
main plaza, clearing the streets with rifle and
machine gun fire. The Prairie. Chester and San
Francisco supported the movement with shell
fire directed against the roofs and houses from
which Mexicans were firing. The building of the
naval college was captured only after a brisk en-
gagement in which a number of casualties oc-
curred. The walls were shattered by shells fired
from the supporting warships. By 10 o'clock In
the forenoon the entire city was in the hands of
the Americans, though occasional shots continued
to be fired. Squads of marines and bluejackets
were sent through the streets with orders to en-
ter all houses and search for concealed arms.
This work was done thoroughly at the cost of a
few cusualtlf-s.
In the course of the fighting on this day (the
22d) nine Americans were killed, twenty-six seri-
ously wounded and eighteen slightly wounded,
making the total casualties for the two days of
fighting thirteen killed and sixty-four wounded.
One of the marines was killed before daylight
through the mistake of a young sailor on sentry
duty. No reliable Information as to the casual-
ties on the other side was obtainable. It was
officially reported later that the American casual-
ties at the occupation of Vera Cruz were:
Killed — Eleven sailors, four marines, one serv-
ice unidentified. Total, sixteen.
Wounded — Two naval officers, fifty-one sailors,
fourteen marines, three service unidentified. To-
tal, seventy.
For the purpose of quieting the city Admiral
Fletcher issued a proclamation directed to the
civil officers and inhabitants asking them to co-
operate in the preservation of order, calling their
attention to the fact that while it had become
necessary for the naval forces of the United
States to assume control of the customs wharves
of Vera Cruz It was not the intention to Inter-
fere with the civil administration any more than
was necessary to enforce the law and such sani-
tary requirements as were needed to meet mili-
tary requirements, and enjoining upon the people
to prevent firing by Individuals from their houses
upon the United States forces, contrary to the
rules of war.
While the American congress was taking action
to give President Wilson a free hand in dealing
with the Mexican situation and while the naval
forces of the I'nited States took forcible posses-
sion .of Vera Cruz, President Huerta in Mexico
City took steps to resist the American "inva-
sion" with all the forces at his command. He
announced that foreigners In the capital were
safe and would be given every protection. He
reiterated his assertion that all the reparation
for the Tamplco flag Incident consistent with the
dignity of the Mexican republic had been made
and that no salute would be fired as demanded.
Communication with Mexico City was practical-
ly cut off on the 20th. 21st and 22d. but early on
the morning of the 23d the state department in
Washington received a dispatch from Charge
d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy. announcing that he
had been given his passports by Gen. Huerta on
Wednesday, the 22d. and that he had arranged
to leave the capital. On the 24th Mr. O'Shaugb-
nessy, with his family and the embassy staff, ar
rived in Vera Cruz, from which place he proceed
er to Washington. Senor Don A. Algara R. de
Terreros, the Mexican charge d'affaires in the
American capital, was given his passports on the
23d. American interests in the Mexican capita]
were placed in charge of the Brazilian ambassa-
dor there.
Replying to a telegram from Secretary Bryar
explaining that the action taken by congress did
not amount to a declaration of war. but was
merely a declaration justifying the president In
using nrmed forces to compel redress for a spe-
cific indignity. Gen. Carranza sent a long dis-
patch from Chihuahua on the 22<1 to President
Wilson declaring that the United States was not
Justified In occupying Mexican territory. He re-
ferred to the action of the naval authorities In
Vera Cruz as a violation, of national sovereignty
and requested the evacuation of the city. Presi-
lent Wilson replied that the United States was
dealing with those actually in control of the gov-
rument of Mexico and that the action was not
directed against the Mexican people, the sover-
eignty and independence of which would be re-
spected. t
Re-enforced by battalions from the Minnesota.
Michigan and South Carolina, the marines and
sailors ashore at Vera- Cruz proceeded to extend
their lines on the 23d so as to Include the entire
jity, the sand hills to the west of It and the
railroad tracks for a distance of three miles be-
yond the town. Maj. Smedley D. Butler of the
marine corps occupied some defensive works
which had just been abandoned by the Mexicans.
In the course of the skirmishing west of the city
and in the work of clearing the houses of
"snipers" four Americans were killed and four-
teen wounded. The naval force on shore before
the close of the day was Increased to 6,000 men.
This was considered large enough for the time
being, but Rear-Admiral Badger'cahled to Wash-
ington requesting that infantry and artillery be
sent to Vera Cruz at the earliest possible mo-
ment. •
In the evening a refugee train arrived from
Mexico City carrying 150 Americans. 100 Ger-
mans. 300 Spaniards and Mexicans and fifty Eng-
lishmen. The party was In charge of Thomas B.
Ilohler, charge d'affaires of the British legation
at the capital. There were fourteen cars in the
train, which had been provided by the Mexican
war office at the request of the British and Ger-
man diplomatic officials. Three miles from Vera
Cruz the refugees had to leave the cars and walk
a mile where the track had been torn up to a
train on the Vera Cruz end of the break. A de-
tachment of British marines, unarmed, with the
permission of the American officials, acted as
scort to the passengers when they entered Vera
Cruz.
INFANTRY SENT TO VERA CRUZ.
In compliance with the request of Rear-Ad-
miral Badger orders were given by Secretary of
War Garrison to Brig. -Gen. Frederick Funston to
embark the 6th brigade of about 5,000 men. in-
fantry, artillery and cavalry, on transports at
Galveston and proceed to Vera Cruz. At the
same time three regiments of Infantry at the
Presidio, San Francisco, and the 6th field artil-
lery at Fort Riley. Kas.. were ordered to the
Mexican border. By orders from the war depart-
ment the shipment of arms to the constitutional-
1st forces was stopped, although no embargo was
declared by the state department.
Three thousand four hundred men of the 6th
U. S. infantry, comprising the 4th. 7th. 19th and
28th regiments, under Brig.-Gen. Funston sailed
on the transports Sumner. McClellan. Kllpatrlck
and Meade from Galveston on the afternoon of
April 23.
MEDIATION OFFERED AND ACCEPTED.
Saturday, April 25, the plenipotentiaries in
Washington of Argentina, Brazil and Chile, on
behalf of their respective governments, formally
offered their good offices to the American govern-
ment for the settlement of the conflict with Mexi-
co, and the offer was promptly accepted by
President Wilson. The text of the note proffer-
Ing mediation was as follows:
"Mr. Secretary of State: With the purpose of
subserving the interest of peace and civilisation
in our continent nnd with the earnest desire to
prevent any further bloodshed to the prejudice
of the cordiality and union which have always
surrounded the relations of the governments and
the people of America, we. the plenipotentiaries
of Brazil. Argentina and Chile, duly authorized
hereto, have the honor to tender to your excel,
lency's government our good offices for the peace-
ful 'and friendly settlement of the conflict be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
"This offer puts in due form the suggestions
which we have had occasion to offer heretofore
on this subject to the secretary, to whom we
22S
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1918.
renew our highest and most distinguished consid-
eration.
"DOMICIO DA GAMA. Brazil.
"ROMULO S. NAON. Argentina.
"EDUARDO SUAREZ MUJICA. Chile."
President Wilson's reply, made through Secre-
tary Bryan, to each of the the diplomatic repre-
sentatives, was as follows:
"The government of the United States Is deep-
ly sensible of the friendliness,- the good feeling
and the generous concern for the peace and wel-
fare of America manifested in the Joint note
just received from your excellencies offering the
good offices of your governments to effect if pos-
sible a settlement of the present difficulty be-
tween the government of the United States and
those who now claim to represent our sister re-
public of Mexico. Conscious of the purpose with
which the proffer is made, this government does
not feel at liberty to decline it. Its own chief
interest is in the peace of America, the cordial
intercourse of her republics and their people, and
the happiness and prosperity which can spring
only out of frank, mutual understanding and the
friendship which is created by common purpose.
"The generous offer of your governments is
therefore accepted. Thi* government hopes most
earnestly that you may find those who speak for
the several elements of the Mexican people will-
ing and ready to discuss terms of satisfactory
and therefore permanent settlement. If you
should find them willing, this government will be
flad to take up with you for discussion in the
rankest and most conciliatory spirit any propos-
als that may be authoritatively formulated, and
will hope that they may prove feasible and pro-
phetic of a new day of mutual co-operation and
confidence in America.
"This government feels bound in candor to say
that its diplomatic relations with Mexico being
for the present severed, it is not possible for it
to make sure of an uninterrupted opportunity to
carry out the plan . of intermediation which you
propose. It is, of course, possible that some act
of aggression on the part of those who control
the military forces of Mexico might oblige the
United States to act to the upsetting of the
hopes of immediate peace, but this does not jus-
tify us in hesitating to accept your generous sug-
gestion. We shall hope for the best results with-
in a brief time, enough to relieve our anxiety
lest most ill considered hostile demonstrations
should interrupt negotiations and disappoint our
hopes of peace."
Prior to the acceptance of the offer of media-
tion a conference took place in the white house
between the president, the secretary of state and
Senators Stone, Shively and Lodge of the senate
foreign relations committee, and it was deter-
mined that the negotiations should not be limit-
ed to President Huerta. but should include such
rebel leaders as Carranza. Zapata and Villa, and
that as a condition of the cessation of warlike
measures by the United States Gen. Huerta
should be required to resign as president, that an
orderly government should be set up, that peace
should be re-established throughout Mexico and
that reparation should be made for all insults to
the American flag.
Immediately after the acceptance of the media-,
tion offer by the American government the South
American envoys cabled it through the Spanish
ambassador to the Spanish legation in Mexico
City for presentation to Gen. Huerta. and on the
following day it was announced unofficially that
he had also agreed to the proposal. Formal ac-
ceptance was cabled April 27. The South Ameri-
can press was emphatic in its approval of the
peace move and its prompt acceptance by the
United States. Preparations for war were not
discontinued by the American naval and military
authorities and it was announced that they
would continue until it became apparent that the
peace negotiations would be successful.
In response to a letter from the mediators Gen.
Carranza signified his willingness to listen to
peace proposals, but omitted to say anything
about the "i>aciflcatlon of Mexico." This was
considered significant in view of the fart that
the next step , In the programme of mediation was
to ask the United States, Gen. Huerta and the
chief of the constitutionalists to cease all hos-
tilities pending the outcome of the negotiations.
President Wilson accepted the proposition with
the understanding that there would be no aggres-
sive act on the part of those in control of the
military forces in Mexico that would compel the
United States to act. President Huerta an-
nounced April 30 that he was willing to suspend
hostilities, but Gen. Carranza sent a message to
the mediators May 3 that he could not agree to
an armistice on the ground that it would accrue
only to the benefit of Gen. Huerta. This re-
sponse caused the mediators to withdraw their
invitation to the constitutionalist leader to send
a representative to the peace conference.
The peace conference opened at Niagara Falls.
Canada, May 20. The representatives of the
United States were Joseph R. Lamar of the Su-
preme court. Washington, D. C.. and Frederick
W Lehmann of St. Louis, Mo., former solicitor-
general of the United States. H. Percival Dodge
was the secretary. The Huerta government was
represented by Augustin Rodriguez, Louis Elguero
and Senor Emilio Rabasa. The rules of pro-
cedure adopted provided that the deliberations
should be secret, that the Brazilian ambassador
should direct the proceedings and that the min-
utes should be drafted in English. Spanish and
Portuguese.
The conference did not result in a solution of
the Mexican problem, at least so far as con-
cerned the internal troubles of the republic. It
was announced June 17. after the mediators had
been in session nearly a month, that the Ameri-
can and Mexican delegates could not agree in the
matter of a provisional government for Mexico.
According to an open statement made by Senor
Rabasa the Mexican delegation agreed to the
designation of a neutral as provisional president,
while the American delegation insisted that he
must be a constitutionalist, a condition which
the Mexicans could not accept. The American
delegates issued a statement June 18 in which
they said that the effort should be to find not a
neutral for president, but one whose attitude on
the controlling issues would mnke him accept-
able to the constitutionalists. The delegates also
differed as to the method of electing a president.
PROTOCOL IS SIGNED.
June 24 a protocol was signed by all the dele-
gates and the mediators. The text of the docu-
ment follows :
"Article 1. The provisional government referred
to in the protocol No. 3 shall be constituted by
agreement of the delegates representing the par-
ties between which the internal argument in
Mexico is taking place.
"Art. 2, section A. Upon the constitution of
the provisional government in the City of Mex-
ico the government of the United States of Amer-
ica will recognize it immediately and thereupon
diplomatic relations between the two countries
will be restored.
"Art. 2, section B. The government of the
United States of America will not in any form
whatsoever claim a war indemnity or other in-
ternational satisfaction.
"Art. 2. section C. The provisional government
will proclaim an absolute amnesty to all foreign-
ers for any and all political offenses committed
during the period of civil war- in Mexico.
"Art. 2. section D. The provisional government
will negotiate for the constitution of internal
commissions for the settlement of the claims of
foreigners on account of damages sustained dur-
ing the period of civil war as a consequence of
military acts or the acts of national authorities.
"Art. 3. The tnree mediating governments
agree on their part to recognize the provisional
government orgaaized as provided by section 1
of this protocol "
The adoption of the protocol was the only con-
crete result of the peace conference, which ended
July 1. The mediators maintained, however, that
the international side of the controversy had
been settled bv their efforts and that it had been
established as E principle of American policy
that national problems in the western hemi-
sphere should be ?e*«ed after a fair examination

and without foreign interference. This, it was
declared, was all that the mediators had set out
to do.
While the proposal for a peace conference was
being considered and while the mediators were
in session many things were happening in Mex-
ico. State department officials received a long
report April 26 from Consul-General Philip C.
Uanna. at Monterey. His telegram, dated April
24, told of the tearing down of the American
flag at the consulate April 21 by a federal mili-
tary officer, Capt. Alvarez del Castillo, and a
mob. They tore down all the American flags in
the city, trampled on them and tore them to
pieces. A police guard was placed before the
consulate and its occupants were made prison-
ers. The next day (April 22) the consulate was
searched by a police" lieutenant, the consul-gen-
eral arrested and taken through the streets to the
state government palace, where he was locked up
and kept a close prisoner until the federals evac-
uated Monterey on the evening of- April 23. The
following morning Mr. Hanna was released by
order of Gen. Pablo Gonzales, Gen. Antonio Vil-
larcal and Gen. Castro, leaders of the constitu-
tionalist forces, who had captured the city after
a five days' attack.
Gen. Villa left Juarez April 27 to consult Gen.
Cnrranza at Chihuahua. There were rumors of
differences between the two, especially as to
wh.it attitude the constitutionalists should as-
sume toward the Americans and the mediation
proposal. It was reported on the 28th that Gen.
Carranza was disposed to re.lect the mediation
plan if it involved any compromise or truce that
would interfere with the purpose of the constitu-
tionalists to obtain power in the City of Mexico.
Gen. Funston and the 6th brigade arrived at
Vera Cruz on the morning of the 28th from Gal'-
veston. The general went ashore and consulted
with Rear-Admiral Fletcher and. then, in his
company, visited Rear-Admiral Badger on the
flagship Arkansas. Arrangements were made for
the substitution of infantry for the bluejackets
doing duty ashore, but no soldiers were landed
until the 29th. It was decided, however, to ap-
point at once a number of civilians to adminis-
ter the government of the city under martial
law. Those selected were: Civil governor, Rob-
ert J. Kerr of Chicago, 111.; treasurer, Charles H.
Stewart of Indianapolis, Ind. : administrator of
justice. William F, Buckle of Austin. Tex. This
administration came to an end May 2. not having
been approved by the authorities in Washington.
Commander H. O. Stickney of the Prairie was
named inspector of customs. Orders were also
issued from Washington detaching the marines at
Vera Cruz from the navy and placing them under
Gen. Funston's command.
There was fierce fighting between the rebels
and federals around Tampico on the 29th. The
former fired on the Cuban steamer Antilla. which
brought a consignment of arms and supplies for
the federal troops.
GEN. FUNSTON IN CONTROL.
On the last day of April Vera Cruz was placed
under the military control of Gen. Funston and
the United States army. The ceremony of transfer
was effected on the pier of the health depart-
ment wharf. Admiral Fletcher and his staff and
Gen. Funston and his staff, all attired in service
uniforms, and attended by a battalion of Infan-
trymen and a battalion of marines, took posi-
tions and stood at attention while a column of
3,600 sailors marched past to the. wharf, where
they entered boats to proceed to their respective
ships. They bore many marks of hard service in
the streets and trenches. When they broke ranks
they were cheered loudly by the marines and
soldiers and by thousands of spectators. Admiral
Fletcher and Gen. Funston exchanged salutes,
after which the former went aboard his ship,
the Florida, and the general to the headquarters
formerly occupied by Gen. Maas. the Mexican
commander.
The first man in the regular army to meet
death after the occupation of Vera Cruz was Pri-
vate Samual Parks of the 28th infantry. On the
afternoon of May 7, while, presumably, dazed by
the heat, he wandered outside the American lines
and two fine horses he had with him were taken
by a Mexican patrol. Parks was taken to the
commandant's house at Tejera and locked up,
and the horses, which belonged to Lieut. -Col. El-
more F. Taggart, were given to Gen. Maas for
his use. The following morning at daylight, by
order of the post commander. Parks was shot by
a file of soldiers and his body burned.
May 12 public funeral services for the sailors
and marines who fell at the taking of Vera Cruz
were held in the navy yard in Brooklyn. Seven-
teen flag draped coffins were carried on caissons
from the Battery and through lower New York
and over the Manhattan bridge to the navy yard.
The procession was watched by thousands of si-
lent spectators with bared heads as it wended
its way through Broadway and other thorough-
fares. President Wilson took part In the exer-
cises of the day. riding in the procession and
making an address at the navy yard, in which he
extolled the services of the dead to their coun-
try. Secretary of the Navy Daniels read the
hero roll, prayers were said and the ceremony
ended with the firing of three volleys and the
sounding of "taps." Later the coffins were sent
to the various cities from which the dead came,
where individual memorial exercises were held
May 13 and 14.
The rebel forces besieging Tampico began a
heavy bombardment May 12: the losses on both
sides were reported heavy. The fighting contin-
ued on the 13th, when the federals began to evac-
uate the city along the railroad in the direction
of San Luis Potosi. The federal gunboats left
the river and the rebels seized such Mexican
craft as they could lay their hands on. Early on
the morning of the 14th Tampico was completely
occupied by the constitutionalist forces under
Gen. Pablo Gonzales. Most of the foreigners in
the city had taken refuge on war and other ves-
sels In the harbor. Order was restored and for-
eigners were told that they might return in safe-
ty. On the following day the rebels occupied
Tuxpam unopposed.
Efforts were made May 16 to induce Rear-Ad-
miral Mayo to join with the British, German.
French and Dutch naval commands at Tampico
to land forces to establish order in the oil fields.
On instructions from Washington he declined to
join in the movement, but marines were never-
theless landed from a Dutch cruiser and sent In
to guard Dutch Interests in the oil fields. Gen.
Gonzales, the constitutionalist commander, de-
manded that the Dutch withdraw, but they de-
clined to do so. May 20 the state department an-
nounced that Tampico would be an open port and
that property In the oil fields would be guarded
by the United States. Great Britain and the
Netherlands.
News was received May 20 that Gen. Villa,
with 4.000 constitutionalists, had defeated 4.500
federals at Paredon, taking »UO prisoners, nine
pieces of artillery and 1,000,000 rounds of ammu-
nition. Miguel Alvarez and Ignacio Munoz. fed-
eral officers, were killed and Gen. Osorno and
other federal officials were executed. At Zer-
tuche the rebels captured a federal general and
his staff, numbering thirty-two, who were exe-
cuted. The troops that were defeated evacuated
Monclova May 15 and were on their way to join
the federals at Saltillo when they fell Into a
trap laid for them by Gen. Villa.
Landing of war material for Gen. Huerta by
the German steamers Ypiranga and Bavaria In
the latter part of May led to some trouble with
the American government because of the failure
of the officers to observe the Mexican regulations
concerning manifests and invoices. Capt. Her-
man O. Stickney. acting port collector at Vera
Cruz. Imposed a fine of 118.685 pesos ($59.342) on
the Bavaria for having discharged a large por-
tion of her cargo consigned to Vera Cruz at
Puerto Mexico and correcting her manifest after
arriving at Vera Cruz. The Ypiranga was fined
894.930 pesos ($447.465) for failure to correct In-
voices accordingly and discharging her cargo at
a port (Puerto Mexico) other than that to which
consigned. The vessels were permitted to clear
after giving bonds.
Throughout the month of June the constitution-
alists continued their successful campaign against

the federals, capturing Collma on the 3d and
Zacatecas on the 23d. This was accomplished in
spite of the fact that the differences between
Gen. Carranza and Gen. Villa, which had devel-
oped early In the year, became more accentuated.
It was reported on several occasions that they
were on the point of fighting each other, but
while undoubtedly Jealous of each other they
continued to make war on their common enemy.
GEN. HUERTA RESIGNS.
July 5 Gen. Huerta and Gen. Blanquet bad
themselves "elected" president and vice-presi-
dent, respectively, of the Mexican republic. The
toting, of course, was confined to that part of
the country still under the control of the federals.
The Huerta regime, however, was nearing its
end. With finances depleted, with the United
States uncompromisingly hostile, with Vera Cruz,
the chief port and source of customs revenue, in
the hands of American troops, with the rebels
advancing close to the capital on all sides and
with dissensions in the ranks of his own follow-
ers. Gen. Huerta finally had to yield to the in-
evitable. He resigned the presidency July 15 and,
with his chief aid. Gen. Blanquet. went to Puer-
to Mexico and sailed on the German cruiser
Dresden to Jamaica. Thence they went to Eng-
land and finally to Spain. In his farewell ad-
dress to the chamber of deputies in the City of
Mexico Gen. Huerta said that for seventeen
months he had been trying to bring peace to
Mexico, but that his efforts had been thwarted
by the protection given the rebels by a great
power. He referred to the peace conference in
Niagara Falls which had adjusted "the petty
Tampico incident," but had not resulted in the
withdrawal of the Americans from Vera Cruz or
of their support from the rebels. Some had said,
he continued, that he would, come what may, seek
his personal interest, and to refute that allega-
tion with a fact he formally resigned the presi-
dency of the republic.
OARRAXZA ENTERS CITY OF MEXICO.
At the same session of the chamber of deputies
Francisco Carbajal, minister of foreign relations,
was called upon to assume the presidency. Car-
bajal accepted the office and thereafter was the
spokesman for the federals. The departure of
Huerta made no difference to the constitutional-
ists, who continued their operations in the field.
Carranza demanded the unconditional surrender
of Carbajal, but the latter decided to continue
the struggle. Aug. 10 the constitutionalists occu-
pied Mazatlan and won other successes. On the
following day the federal troops evacuated the
City of Mexico, and on Aug. 13 a peace pact be-
tween the Carranzista forces and the federal gov-
ernment was signed. Gen. Carranza was named
provisional president of Mexico in an agreement
signed Aug. 14 by Gen. Obregon and Gov. Itur-
bide. Carbajal retired from the presidency and
Aug. 20 Gen. Carranza entered the City of Mex-
ico in triumph.
The troubles of the republic were not yet end-
ed. In the north Gen. Villa, who had come out
openly in opposition to Carranza. was organizing
his followers for a new rebellion. Then a con-
vention of constitutionalists was called to settle
upon a permanent government for the republic.
This convention, which opened Oct. 10 in Aguas-
calientes, was composed of delegates supposed to
represent the various factions within the consti-
tutionalist party. It at once proceeded to vote
itself supreme power and to demand the elimina-
.tion of both Carranza and Villa. Neither would
yield, and Nov. 1 Eulalio Gutierrez was chosen
by the convention to act as president of the re-
public for twenty days. Carranza refused to ac-
cept Gutierrez as his successor, and so for the
time being the country had two provisional presi-
dents.
As early as Sept. 15 President Wilson had or-
dered the evacuation of Vera Cruz, but the lack
of guaranties for the safety of the persons for
whose safety the United States had made Itself
responsible prevented the order from being car-
ried out. These persons included a number of
priests and nuns who subsequently took refuge
In the United States. The various factions also
gave the required assurances, and Nov. 12 it was
announced that the troops would evacuate Vera
Cruz Nov. 23.
This plan was carried out and Gen. Funston
and his troops sailed for Galveston, at which port
they arrived Nov. 26. They were succeeded In
Vera Cruz by constitutionalist troops. Nov. 24
Gen. Blanco evacuated the City of Mexico.

LOSS OF THE LINER
Date— May 29. 1914.
Place— St. Lawrence river, near Father Point.
Que.
Persons aboard— 1,479.
Lives lost— 1.027.
Persons saved — 452.
Cause of disaster— Collision with steamer.
The steamship Empress of Ireland, one of the
finest vessels in the Atlantic service of the Cana-
dian Pacific Railway company, was sunk in the
St. Lawrence river near Father Point. Que., early
on the morning of May 29. 1914. in a collision
with the Norwegian collier Storstad. Of the 1.479
persons on board the liner 1,027 were lost. The
Empress of Ireland left Quebec for Liverpool at
4:20 p. m.. Thursday, May 28, with Lieut. H. G.
Kendall of the royal navy reserve and well
known as a sea captain in command. The first
stop was made at Rimouski, Que., about 180 miles
northeast of Quebec, where mail was taken
aboard. At this point the river widens and is
generally known as the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
The channel for ocean going craft is about ten
miles from the southern and twenty miles from
the northern shore. The river was somewhat ob-
scured by smoke from forest fires and Capt.
Kendall proceeded carefully at reduced speed.
After leaving Rimouski #nd when about oppo-
site Father Point the men on the bridge saw the
lights of a steamer coming up the river and
about two miles away. Signals were exchanged
and then a blanket of fog settled down on the
EMPRESS OF IRELAND.
of the passengers, nearly all of whom were
asleep when the two vessels came together. A
considerable number of them, it is believed, were
killed in their berths in that part of the ship
penetrated by the bow of the Storstad. The
wireless operators on the Empress of Ireland sent
out calls for assistance immediatelv after the
crash. The government steamers Eureka and
Lady Evelyn at Rimouski hurried to the scene
and did what they could to pick up and care
for the survivors in the lifeboats and on the
wreckage. They were too late to do anything
more, as the Empress of Ireland sank within
seventeen minutes after it was struck. Capt.
Kendall jumped from the bridge and was In-
jured by striking a floating hatch, but he was
picked up by a lifeboat which was near at hand
and was saved. The officers and crew of the
Storstad, though their own vessel was badly
damaged, did all they could to save the people
struggling in the water.
The fate of the passengers and crew of the
Empress of Ireland is told by tte following
figures :
First class passengers — Total sailing, 92: res-
cued. 36: dead. 56.
Second class passengers — Total sailing, 256; res-
cued. 47: dead. 209.
Third class passengers— Total sailing, 718; res-
cued. 136: dead. 582.
Crew — Total sailing, 413; rescued. 233; dead, 180.
Among those who lost their lives were Lau-
rence Irvine, son of the late Sir Henrv Irving.
THE EMPRESS OF IRELAND.
water, shutting out everything from view. The
tide was running in strongly. At 1.45 a. m. the
vessel whose lights had been seen suddenly ap-
R eared close at hnnd. It was the Norwegian col-
er Storstad. commanded by Capt. Thomas An-
derson, on its way to Montreal. As soon as
Capt. Kendall saw the Storstad he shouted to
the man on its bridge to have his vessel go full
speed astern and g.ive. orders to have the Em-
press of Ireland go full speed ahead with the helra
bard a port with the object of avoiding a col-
lision. It was too late and in a moment the
Storstad crashed into the port side of the liner
almost amidships, tearing a big hole through
which the water poured in torrents. Capt.
Kendall shouted to the collier to keep full speed
ahead so as to stay in the hole, but this wa&
found to be impossible and the vessels drifted
cpirt.
It was at once seen that the Empress of Ire-
land was sinking and desperate efforts were made
to save as many lives as possible. The ship
listed heavily toward the side which hart been
rammed and great difficulty was found In launch-
ing the lifeboats. Nine of these succeeded in
reaching the water and they carried practica'ly
all who were saved except a few who were
picked up c'.inging to bits of wreckage. The
lights on the liner went out nt the time of the
tolllsion and the darkness added to the confusion
and himself a well known actor: his wife.
Mabel Hackney Irving, and Sir Henry Seton
Carr, a famous hunter of big game and promi-
nent at the English bar. Commissioner Rees and
many other officers and members of the salva-
tion army in Canada, who were on their way to
London to take part in the world's congress of
the army, were drowned. The saving of such a
large proportion of the crew was explained by
the fact that owing to the difficulties of naviga-
tion in the St. Lawrence rivejr many of them
were on duty at the time of the collision.
With its bows crumpled in and twisted around
nt an acute angle to port, the Storstad arrived in
Montreal May 31 and was at once seized on a
claim for $2.000.000 damages made by the Ca-
nadian Pacific Railway company.
The disaster aroused much controversy as to
where the responsibility should be placed. Con-
tradictory statements were made by the captains
of both vessels as to what was done between the
time when the vessels came within sight of each
other and the collision. .June 1 a royal commis-
sion to Investigate the wreck was appointed with
Lord Mersev as its chairman. The inquiry was
begun in Quebec June 16 and came to an end
July 11. The commission held that the disaster
was due to the Storstad's change of course or-
dered by Alfred Tnftenes, the third officer, who
was in charge of the collier at the time.

The board of mediation and conciliation, cre-
ated by act of congress approved July 15, 1913,
was established to settle by mediation, concilia-
wages, hours of labor or conditions of employ
ment that may arise between common carriers
engaged in interstate transportation and their
employes engaged in train operation or train
service. Whenever such a controversy arises, in-
terrupting or threatening to interrupt the opera-
tion of trains to the serious detriment of the
public interest, upon the request of either party
the board of mediation is required to use its
best efforts by mediation and conciliation to
bring about an agreement. If such efforts arc
unsuccessful, the board endeavors to induce the
parties to submit their controversy to arbitra-
tion and. if successful, makes the necessary ar-
rangements for such arbitration. The board Is
an independent office.

HOME RULE
CHRONOLOGY.
1886— Gladstone's first Irish home ru'.e bill de-
feated in house of commons June 7 by
Tote of 343 to 313.
1883— Gladstone's second home rule bill passed
by house of commons Sept. 1 by vote of 301
to 267; defeated in house of lords.
1909— Irish nationalists and liberals make alli-
ance, the former agreeing to support gov-
ernment budget and other measures on un-
derstanding that home rule bill is to be
passed.
1911— Parliament act passed limiting veto power
of house of lords.
1912— Home rule bill introduced April 11; passed
first reading April 16; passed second read-
ing Mar 9.
1913— Home rule bill passed third reading Jan. 16
by vote of 367 to 250: rejected by house of
lords Jan. 30: bill reintroduced and passed
by commons July 8, 352 to 243; again re-
jected by lords July 15.
1914— Home rule bill introduced for third time
March 5; passed by house of commons May
25 by vote of 351 to 274: signed by King
George and placed on statute book Sept. 18.
The second parliament of King George V. was
elected in December, 1910. and was made up of
272 liberals, 84 nationalists, 42 labor members
and 272 conservatives and unionists. This gave
the Irish party the balance of power and made
It possible by means of coalition and the so-
called parliament act of Aug. 10, 1911. to secure
the enactment of a law giving a large measure
of home ru'.e to Ireland. The parliament act was
framed primarily to enable the government to
pass a budget which the conservatives had re-
jected on the ground that it was "socialistic and
confiscatory." but the law as adopted permitted
the party in power to pass other measures, such
as VVelsh church disestablishment and Irish home
rule, even if vetoed by the house of lords. All
that was required was that a bill should be
passed at three successive sessions by the house
of commons and be signed by the king to be-
come a law. The Irish nationalists, under the
leadership of John Edward Redmond, agreed to
help pass the budget and other administration
measures in return for government help in oass-
ing a home rule bill. The coalition was success-
ful and the government, assisted by the nation-
alists and labor members, passed its budgets,
the Welsh disestablishment measure and the
Irish home rule bill. The coalition majority
was somewhat reduced by defections and defeats
in by-e'.ections. but it remained sufficiently large
to carry out the programme as originally made.
H. H. Asmiith. premier and leader of the
house of commons, introduced the home rule bill,
officially entitled "The government of Ireland

jection of the bill was defeated. 356 to 276. and
the measure went to its second reading. Miy 26
It was passed by the house of commons for the
third and last time and was sent to the house
of lords, requiring, however, only the king's
signature to become a law.
The most serious opposition to the granting of
self-government to Ireland came from the union-
ists of Ulster, who, for commercial and religious
reasons, did not wish to come under the Juris-
diction of a parliament in Dublin. English con-
servatives and unionists saw in this a chance to
defeat Irish home rule and helped to fan the
FOE IRELAND.
flame of discontent in the north of Ireland. Led
by Sir Edward Carson, the unionists of Ulster
made preparations in 1913 for armed resistance.
Delegates met in Belfast Sept. 24 and formed
what they called a provisional government to
take over the administration of Ulster In case
the home rule bill became a law. Drilling of
volunteers was actively engaged in by large num-
bers of men in Belfast and vicinity.
So threatening was me situation that the gov-
ernment felt that some step should be taken to
placate the opponents of home rule and March*
9. 1914. Premier Asquith announced a plan for
conciliation. It was that a poll should be taken
of the parliamentary electors of each county In
Ulster to decide whether it should be excluded
from the operation of the law for a period of
six years from the first meeting of the new
Irish parliament. The proposition was not ac-
ceptable to the Ulster unionists, who continued
to prepare for "war" with increased energy.
"Gun running'' on a large scale was reported
and the drilling of volunteers was carried on
day and night. The newspapers in London used
the caption "War in Ulster" over their dis-
patches from Belfast.
March 20 the government began certain mili-
tary movements in Ireland and at once the cry
was raised that Ulster was to be coerced. Offi-
cers of regiments in the vicinity of Belfast be-
gan to resign their commissions rather than face
the prospect of being called upon to serve against
the Ulster men. An army council was held In Lon-
don and a memorandum was given to Brig.-Gen.
Hubert Gough, commander of the 3d cavalry bri-
gade, in which most of the resignations had been
offered, to take back to Ireland. In this memo-
randum, which was signed by Col. J. E. B. Seely.
secretary of war; Field Marshal Sir John French,
chief of the imperial staff of the British army,
and others. It was said:
"The government must retain Its right to use
all the forces of the crown in Ireland or else-
where to maintain order and support the civil
powers in the ordinary execution of their duty,
but has no intention whatever of taking advan-
tage of this right in order to crush political
opposition to the policy or the principles of the
home rule bill."
This pledge to the disaffected officers of the
army was repudiated by the government as hav-
ing been given without its knowledge or consent.
This was acknowledged to be true by Col. Seely.
who offered his resignation. Field Marshal French
and Sir John Spencer Ewart. adjutant-general,
also resigned. Thoir resignations were accepted
March 30, when Premier Asquith announced that
he himself would take the post of secretary of
war and for that purpose would resign from the
house and seek re-election from his old constitu-
ency. This he did and was returned without op-
position. His act strengthened the administra-
tion and correspondingly weakened the opposi-
tion, which was placed on the defensive by the
action of the army officers. The passage of the
home rule bill was not followed by the violent
outbreak in Ulster that had been predicted. The
unionists there contented themselves with de-
claring that home rule would never be applied
to Ulster. The Irish nationalists began recruit-
ing a volunteer army to oppose the Ulsterites,
but the outbreak of the great European war in
August brought the home rule controversy in Ire-
land to a close, both factions agreeing to sup-
port the government in the crisis. Sept. 15 the .
bouse of commons passed a bill suspending the
operation of the home rule and Welsh disestab-
lishment bills until after the close of the war.
King George signed the home rule bill Sept, 18
and it was placed on the statute book.

Pope Pius X. died in the Vatican. Rome, at
1:20 o'clock on the morning of Thursday. Aug.
20. 1914. He was born at Riese, in the province
of Treviso, June 2, 1835, and was thus 79 years
of age when he nassed away. Elected supreme
head of the Roman catholic church Aug. 4. 1903,
he occupied the papal chair eleven years and
sixteen days. Giuseppe Sarto was ordained priest
Sept. 18. 1858: consecrated bishop of Mantua Nov.
10, 1884: created and proclaimed cardinal and
patriarch of Venice June 15, 1893; elected pope
Aug. 4 and crowned Aug. 9, 1903. His title in
full was: "Bishop of Rome and vicar of Jesus
Christ: successor of St. Peter, prince of the
apostles: supreme pontiff of the universal church:
patriarch of the west: primate of Italy: arch-
bishop and metropolitan of the Roman province
and sovereign of the temporal dominions of the
holy Roman church." Pius was not of robust
physique and in the course of the last years of
his life passed through a number of serious ill-
nesses. He was a sufferer from bronchial catarrh
and gout and had much difficulty in breathing.
It was recognized on Tuesday, Aug. 18, that he
was seriously ill, but it was not until the follow-
ing day that hope of his recovery was given up.
The bronchitis was diffused to the lower lobe
of the left lung and symptoms of heart weakness
developed. Stimulants were injected and oxygen
was administered, but he grew steadily weaker
until the end came. His death was unquestionably
hastened by his intense grief over the great
European war which had broKen out. Some hours
before he breathed his last he said: "Now I
begin to think as the end is approaching that
the Almighty in His inexhaustible goodness
wishes to spare me the horrors Europe is under-
going." His last official act was to issue the
following plea for peace:
"At this moment, when nearly the whole of
Europe is being dragged into the vortex of a
most terrible war, with its present dangers and
miseries and the consequences to follow, the
thought of which must strike every one with
grief and horror, we whose care is the life and
welfare of so many citizens and peoples cannot
but be deeply moved and our heart wrung with
the bitterest sorrow.
"And in the midst of this universal confusion
and peril, we feel and know that both fatherly
love and apostolic ministry demand of us that
we should with all earnestness turn the thoughts

of Christendom thither, 'whence cometh help' —
to Christ, the Prince of Peace and the most
powerful mediator between God and man.
"We charge, therefore, the catholics of the
whole world to approach the throne of Grace
and Mercy, each and all of them, and more
especially the clergy, whose duty furthermore it
will be to make in every parish, as their bishops
shall direct, public supplication, so that the mer-
ciful God may. as it were, be wearied with the
prayers of His children and speedily remove the
evil causes of war, giving to them who rule to
think the thoughts of peace and not of affliction.
"From the palace of the Vatican, the second
day of August, 1914.
"PIUS X., Pontifex Maximus."
The entombment of Pope Pius took place at
sunset Aug. 22. the ceremony being witnessed by
about 1,000 persons, including the diplomatic rep-
resentatives accredited to the holy see. the prel- '
ates and members of the Roman aristocracy.
The body of the pontiff, resting in a cypress
coffin incased in zinc and oak, was placed in
a crypt close to the tomb of Pius VI., in St.
Peter's basilica.
ELECTION OF POPE BENEDICT XV.
The college of cardinals began its conclave for
the election of a successor to Pope Pius X.
An;: 31 at the Vatican, in Rome, and the first
ballot was taken on the following day. It was
indecisive, as were also the second, third, fourth
and tifth ballots, as the watching spectators
outside the Vatican learned from seeing smoke
from the burned ballots ascend from the chim-
ney of the Sistine chapel. Cardinals Maffi.
Ferrata, Gasparri and Serafini were most fre-
quently mentioned as leading candidates for the
papacy and it was supposed that the choice
would fall upon one of them. The result, as
had often been the case at previous conclaves,
was a surprise, as the supreme honor of the
church was conferred upon a cardinal wno nad
not pub'.rcly been mentioned in connection with
the exalted office. On the sixth ballot, which
was taken. Sept. 3, Giacomo della Chiesa. arch-
bishop of Bologna and a cardinal only since May
25, 1914, was elected pope. He took the title of
Benedict XV. His coronation took place Sunday,
Sept. 6, and he held his first consistory Sept. 8.

VOLCANIC ERUPTION AND EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN.
The volcano Sakurajima on the little Island of
Sakura, situated in the Bay of Kagoshima at the
southern extremity of Japan, burst into violent
eruption Jan. 12, 1914. Great quantities of rock,
ashes and lava were thrown out over the sur-
rounding country, which, in addition, was sub-
jected to a series of severe earthquakes. For a
time it was believed that hundreds if not thou-
sands of persons had perished, but fortunately
the loss of life was comparatively small. So far
as could be ascertained, not more than twenty-
five lives were lost on Sakura. In the city of
Kagoshima, separated from the volcano by a
narrow strait, eighteen persons were killed,
eighty-seven severely injured and seventy-one
slightly hurt as the result of the earthquakes,
the worst of which occurred at 6:35 p. m. on thf
12th. The people on .Sakura island were warned
by the activity of the volcano on the llth and
most of them were enabled to make their escape
to the mainland. Nine villages composed of 840
houses were destroyed out of the total of
eighteen villages on Sakura.
In Kagoshima thirty-five houses collapsed, 118
were partly destroyed and many others slightly
damaged. In Kimotsu and Kira counties the
damage caused by falling ashes and pumice
stone affected 20,000 persons, to whom temporary
assistance had to be given. No attempt was
made to estimate the money value of the prop-
erty destroyed by the eruption and earthquake.
EARTHQUAKE IN AKITA PREFECTURE.
The towns of Omagarl, Yokote and Izume In
the prefecture of Akita, island of Hondo, Japan,
were wrecked by an earthquake March 15, 1914.
Eighty-three persons were killed and 500 injured.
EARTHQUAKES IN SICILY.
The east coast of Sicily was visited by a series
of earthquakes May 8 and 9. 1914, the most se-
rious occurring at 7 o'clock on the evening of
the 8th. The zone affected was that extending
from Zaffarana, the highest village on Mount
^Etna, to the sea between Aci Reale on the
south and Giarre on the north. The center of
the disturbance seemed to be at Linera, where
110 persons were killed and about 300 injured.
The village, which contained 800 inhabitants,

THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION IN WASHINGTON.
The Smithsonian institution was established by
statute in 1846, under the terms of the will of
James Smithson, who bequeathed his fortune in
1826 to the United States for the "increase and
diffusion of knowledge among men." From the
Income of the fund a building, known as the
Smithsonian building, was erected in Washing-
ton, D. C., on land given by the United States.
The institution is legally an establishment hav-
ing as its members tip president and vice-presi-
dent of the United States, the chief justice and
the president's cabinet. It is governed by a
board of regents consisting of the vice-president,
the chief Justice, three members of the United
States senate, three members of the house of

mediate direction of the secretary of the Smith-
sonian institution, who is the executive officer of
the board and the director of the institution's
activities. The institution aids investigators by

THE CARNEGIE FOUNDATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF TEACHING.
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching was founded by Andrew Carnegie in
1905 and incorporated by the congress of the
United States in 1906 for the purpose of provid-
ing retiring allowances for teachers and officers
of universities, colleges and technical schools in
the United States, Canada and Newfoundland,
and, in general, of advancing the profession of
the teacher and the cause of higher education.
By the eighth annual meeting of the trustees in
1913, 316 allowances were being paid to teachers
and eighty-eight pensions to widows of teachers,
the amount of the average allowance being
$1.703.34. the total annual cost being $618,120, and
the average age of retirement being about 69
years. "
In the administration of its endowment, which
uow amounts to $15,000,000, the foundation has
restricted its allowances to professors and offi-
cers in a list of seventy-three institutions, se-
lected for their educational standing, and has
published a series of widely influential reports
and bulletins concerning educational conditions.
The president of the foundation is Henry S*
Pritchett: Its trustees are presidents of univer-
sities and colleges and financiers. Further In-
formation mav be had by addressing the secre-
tary. Clyde Forst. 576 5th avenno. New York.

was the last resident governor of Hudson Bay

ALMANAC AND TEAR-BOOK FOR 1916.
WIRELESS TELEGRAPH SERVICE IN THE UNITED STATES.
[From department of commerce report. March 26. 1914.]
Practically the whole commercial value of the
wireless telegraph service In the United States
Is for communicating between ship and shore, or
between ship and ship. Transatlantic communi-
cation has been established between the govern-
ment station at Arlington. Va.. and the Eiffel
tower in Paris as well as stations at Panama
and San Francisco, but this is only occasional
and is not open to commercial business. Press
messages are sent from the united kingdom to
Glace Bay. N. S.. and vice versa and relayed
by cable or overland telegraph to New York.
Chicago. London and other centers. The most
important prestnt service which the wireless
offers to the commercial world is probably in
enabling shippers, insurance men and others
on shore to keep track of vessels and shipments
of goods, change their destination, etc.. or in
keeping men on shipboard informed ^s to market
and other conditions on shore.
Wireless stations are divided Into ship and
land stations, the latter Including (1) restricted
and amateur stations and (2) commercial, spe-
cial, army, navy and all other land stations.
The department of commerce (bureau of naviga-
tion), has compiled and published a complete
list of all land stations with the location, call
number, nature of service, hours of operation
and company or individual controlling each one.
According to this list there are in the United
States and possessions 186 stations of the sec-
ond named class and of these eighty are partly
or wholly open to public use. Of these eighty
the United Stale army and navy control forty-
nine, and the rest are In the hands principally
of four or five private companies, of which the
Marconi company le the largest. Of the stations
controlled by the navy in the United States
and possessions, the following are open to public
business: Charleston. S. O. : St. Augustine. Jupi-
ter. Pensaeola and Key West. Fla.: Guantanamo
bay Cuba: San Juan. P. R. ; Colon, Panama:
Balboa, Canal Zone; Tatoosh Island and North
Head, Wash.: Cape Blanco. Ore.: Eureka. Point
Argnello and San Diego, Cal. : Guam: Pribilof
islands (two stations. St. Paul and St. George).
Unalga. Dutch Harbor, Kodiak. Cordova and Sit-
ka, Alaska. The ships of the navy are also
open to commercial business for the convenience
of the personnel on board.
All charges for radiograms must be prepaid
and no collect commercial message is accepted.
It should be remembered that for any message
between a ship and an interior point on land
three separate charges are involved — the charge
at the wireless station on shipboard, the wire-
less coast station charge and the charge of
the cable line or land telegraph line. The coast
station and ship station rates vary, being differ-
ent for the different companies and the navy.
With navy coast stations on the Atlantic the
usual charge for radiograms to vessels is 6 cents
a word. At Key West the charge is 12 cents.
On the Pacific coast the usual charge is 8 cents
a word. The Marconi rates in 1914 were:

At Sayvllle. L. I., and South Wellfleet.
Mass., are high-power stations capable of
communicating with vessels 400 miles or more
away, and for messages at that or greater dis-
tances a coast station charge of 30 cents a word
is made.
The third rate, that of the ship station. Is
regulated within certain limits by each vessel
for itself and the average rate can hardly be
given. An international convention, which met
in London In 1912 to agree on various provisions
governing the use of wireless on the oceans,
and the articles of agreement of which have
been accepted by the United States, prescribed
a standard maximum rate of 8 cents per word
for ship station charges and 12 cents per word
for coast station charges. It also established
a bureau at Bern, Switzerland, known as the
International Telegraph bureau, which publishes
regularly full and complete information in re-
gard to all the wireless stations established,
both on shore and on shipboard, by all tha
nations subscribing to the agreement.

tween different purchasers of commodities, which
commodities are sold for use, consumption or re-
sale within the United States or any territory
thereof or the District of Columbia or any insu-
lar possession or other place under the jurisdic-
tion of the United States, where the effect of
such discrimination may be to substantially less-
en competition or tend to create a monopoly in
any line of commerce: Provided, That nothing
herein contained shall prevent discrimination in
price between purchasers on account of differences
In grade, quality or quantity of the commodity
sold, or that makes due allowance for difference

crimination in price in the same or different com-
munities made in good faith to meet competition:

States, or fix a price charged therefor, or dis-
count from, or rebate upon, such price, on the

THE DANBUSY
In the United States District court in Hart-
ford, Conn., Oct. 11, 1912, a jury returned a
verdict for $80.000 and costs against the United
Hatters of North America in the suit brought
by D. E. Loewe & Co., hat manufacturers in
Danbury, Conn., charging the defendants with
conducting a boycott against hats made by the
firm. Undor the Sherman antitrust law the dam-
ages are trebler1. making the award in this in-
stance equivalent to $240,000.
The suit was originally brought in the Circuit
ccurt in 1903. when Loewe &> Co. filed a bill
alleging that the labor organization had under-
taken to unionize the company's hat factory in
D-inbury. and. failing to do so, had gone on a
stHke. This act was followed by the declaration
of a bovcott against the firm's hats wherever
they were found, and as it controlled an exten-
sive trade througho-t :mny states the boveitt.
in the lang-iase of the bill, constituted a combi-
nation to 1'inlt and restnin interstate commerce.
On a demurrer by the hatters' union the Circuit
HATTERS' CASE.
court decided that the Sherman law was in-
applicable aud dismissed the case. The Court
of Appeals, however, certified the suit to the
United States Supreme court, and that tribunal.
Feb. 3, 1908. reversed the decision of the Cir-
cuit court, deciding, without a dissenting voice,
that boycotting, where it affected interstate
commerce, was in violation of the Sherman anti-
trust act.
The case then went back to the Circuit court
and after a trial lasting eleven weeks resulted
Feb. 4, 1910. in a verdict for $74.000 damages
for the plaintiff. An appeal was taken and the
ase was sent to the United States District court,
with the result stated above. It was again taken
to the United States Court of Appeals in New
York, which in a decision announced Dec. 18.
1913. affirmed the judgment in fnvor of D. E.
Loowe & Co. and aeiinst the hatters' orginiza-
tion for $252.130. With interest and co=ts the
judgment amounted to $272.000. The plaintiffs
were backed bv the Antiboycott society and the
defendants by the American Federation of Labor.

China, the Philippines. Australia. New Zealand.
Ceylon, Egypt, Italy. France and England. The
largest attendance recorded was in Japan. Aus-
tralia and England. King George was a specta-
tor at the game played in London Feb. 6 when,
in the presence of a crowd of 30.000. the White
Sox defeated the Giants by a score of 5 to 4
in the eleventh inning. Out of the forty-six
games played on the tour the American league
team won twenty-four and the Giants twenty,
two games ending in ties.
The White Sox team was led by its owner.
President Charles A. Comiskey. and the New
York Giants by Manager John J. McGraw. The
party making the tour numbered sixty-seven in
all. The players numbered twenty-three and in-
cluded the following:
New York Giants— Pitchers. George Wiltse. Bun-
ny Hearne; catcher. Ivy Wingo: 1st base. Fred
Merkle; 2d base, Larry Doyle; shortstop. Mike
Doolin: 3d base. John Lobert: outfielders, Mike

tion games. It was announced that the profits
amounted to about $75,000.

1888-1889 by the Chicago and Ail-American teams.

YACHTING.
THE AMERICA'S CUP.
The New York Yacht club and the Royal Ul-
ster Yacht club, representing Sir Thomas Lipton,
reached an agreement in July. 1913. to contest
for the historic America's cup in September, 1914.
Owing chiefly to a disagreement as to the size
of the competing boats, no races for the trophy
have been sailed since 1903. Sir Thomas Lipton
proposed that the yachts be limited to seventy-five
feet on the water line. According to the deed
of gift, the defending club has the right to se
lect a vessel of such size as it pleases, provided
it be not less than sixty-five nor more than nine-
ty feet on the water line, and the New York
Yacht club was therefore unwilling to meet the
condition proposed. July 20, 1913, the Ulster
Yacht club of Belfast cabled that the conditions
prescribed by the New York Yacht club had been
accepted and signed.
Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger. Shamrock IV.,
arrived at New York Aug. 16. 1914, after making
most of the voyage from England under its own
sail, coming by way of the Azores and Ber-
muda. In the meantime the war in Europe had
broken out and to avoid possible capture by Ger-
man cruisers the yacht was towed from Bermuda
to Sandy Hook. It was decided by Sir Thomas
that under the circumstances it would not be ad-
visable to attempt a race in 1914, and with the
consent of the New York Yacht club it was post-
poned until 1915. The Shamrock IV. was laid up
in a south Brooklyn shipyard for the winter.
In America three contenders for the honor of
meeting the Britsh yacht had been constructed.
Ihese were the Resolute, designed and built at
the Herreshoff yards at Bristol. R. I., and the
Vanitie, built for Alexander S. Cochrane. and the
Owen boat Defiance. In the trial races, which
were not completed, the Resolute made rather
the best showing and would probably have been
selected to represent America. In one of the
tria.s. June 10, it sailed over a windward and
leeward course of fifteen miles In 3:16:41, a rec-
ord better than any made over that kind of
course in the America cup races.
HECOKD OP RACES TO DATE.
18w7TAu)?- 2r2- l,n m*' the -vear of fche weat exhi-
bition in London, the Royal Yacht Club of Eng-
land offered a cup to the winner of a yacht
race around the Isle of Wight. The course
was 60 miles in length. The race was won by the
schooner yacht America, designed bv George
Steers for John C. Stevens of the New York
Yacht club. The America was 94 feet over all
wer line-

11% feet draft. There was no time allowance
and the competing yachts ranged in size from
a three-masted 392-ton schooner, the Brilliant.
to the 47-ton cutter the Aurora, which came
in second in the race. The time of the Amer-
a was 10 hours and 34 minutes: that of the
A'lrpra was 24 minutes slower. The cup after
tnat became known as the America's cup and
has now been successfully defended for sixtv-
two years.

ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
MOTOEING.
[Compiled by C. G. SInsabaugh, editor Motor Age.l
In a sports way, 1914 was an odd year. There
were fewer road races, more interest in speed-
way competitions and big dirt track events, no
reliability tests to speak of and more efforts
made to encourage owners to tour more, which
took the form of "sociability" runs. This does
not mean that there is a loss of interesting mo-
toring: it means a gradual revolutionizing of
the sport, the trial of something new.
Road racing always has been regarded as the
premier branch of motoring and so it continues.
crowds it closely. But in 1914 there were fewer
road races, which perhaps may be accounted for
by the fact that, whereas at most meets it
used to be customary to run off three, four and
live races, now the promoters are content to
confine themselves to two. This is instanced at
Elgin, where the card used to be made up of
five races: now only two are run. Another reason
for the reduction in number last year was that
Seattle now is classified as a speedway, whereas
it used to be a road race -course.
In this country last year three of the classic
fixtures were run off. The Vanderbilt and Grand
Prix were contested at Santa Monica, Cal.;
Elgin repeated its Elgin National and the Chi-
cago Automobile club cup; the usual desert road
races were run. while Corona, Cal.. had its
usual speed carnival. Abroad the French ran off
their Grand Prix, the Italians had their Targa
Florio. while England cut into the game with
its Tourist Trophy race on the Isle of Man.
Looking back over these events, the critics
have crowned Ralph De Palma as the American
road racing champion for the second time. Earl
Cooper wore the crown in 1913, taking it away
from De Palma, who had it in 1912. But the
little Italian came back in 1914 and with vic-
tories in the Vanderbilt and in both races at
Elgin clinched his claims in no uncertain manner
There was one blot on the road racing es-
cutcheon of 1914— the death of Spencer Wishart,
one of the greatest of American drivers, who
was killed in the Elgin National when his car
left the road and hit a tree. Wishart was one
of the most daring of American pilots and a
man who always could be relied upon to be
among the front runners.
Indianapolis, of course, repeated Its 500 mile
international sweepstakes which brought out a
most brilliant field. There were forty-five en-
tries, with the foreign element strongest, so
that it was necessary to run eliminating trials
to reduce the field to the limit of thirty. Be-
cause of the foreign competition the race cre-
ated a new set of records, the victor being a
Frenchman. Rene Thomas, who drove his Delage
the flve centuries in 6:03:45. an average of 82.47
miles per hour, a new record which displaced the
mark made the previous year by Jules Goux in
a Peugeot. Second to Thomas was Duray in a
French Peugeot, Guvot in a French Delage was
third. Goux in a French Peueeot was fourth,
while the first American to finish was Barney
Oldfield in a Stutz. who registered fifth. This
race attracted a paid attendance of 93.000. it be-
ing estimated that the average per head was
$3.50.
Seattle staged its speedway meet on July 4.
but really it was more of a road racing caliber
than track. Earl Cooper In a Stutz won the
Montamarathon trophy, Hughie Hughes in a
Maxwell the Potlach and Jim Parsons in a
Krautz the Intercity trophy.
Of speedway caliber but run on a two mile
dirt track was the Sioux City (Iowa) 300 mile
race, run also on the Fouth of July. In fact, it
was a miniature Indianapolis, bringing together
most of the stars who raced on the Hoosier
oval. The winner of this grind was Eddie Rick-
onbacher In a Duesenberg, who averaged 78 6
miles per hour, a remarkable performance on
a dirt track.
In the fall there were several 100 mile races
on dirt tracks, which produced real competition,
one of the best being at Kalatnazoo, Mich., where
Bob Burman in a Peugeot established a new
century record.
Attacks on dirt track records were numerous
and in many cases successful. Burman in par-
ticular was prominent in this line, placing sev-
eral of the longer distance marks to his credit.
Oldfield went after his own one mile dirt track
record at St. Louis, and shoved it down to :44. but
as yet the mark has not been accepted by the A.
A. A. and it is not expected that it will be
passed because the electrical timer did not work
and the timing was done with stop watches.
Abroad there were fewer record trials than in
1913, when the British revamped the entire table.
The best mark of the season was at Brooklands.
where Hornsted in a Benz did a flying mile in
:28.09. equal to 128.16 miles per hour.
Standing as official records for stock cars are
the m:irks made on the Indianapolis speedway
June 20 by the Packard. These were • one hour
trials, conducted under the auspices of the Au-
tomobile Club of America. A forty-eight horse
power Packard touring car actually covered 71.2
miles in sixty minutes, while a thirty-eight
horse power Packard touring car did 67.8 miles
in the same time.
But while there were no reliability runs, out-
side of the annftal tour of the Wisconsin State
Automobile association, which attracted only a
few cars, the makers did not let up in their
efforts to prove officially the value of their
product. This was mainly along the line of
gasoline economy and probably two dozen such
trials were held in different parts of the coun-
try, all under official supervision, which demon-
strated most convincingly that the modern au
so perfected that the average owner effects a
great saving on his fuel in comparison with other
years.
Chicago as usual has its -team reliability
matches, but the annual Glidden tour did not
take place and it looks as if that classic will
not be renewed in the future. The failure to
stage this may be put down to a lack of In-
terest in reliability runs by automobile manu-
facturers, who seem to feel that they have ably
the modern motor car.
Hill climbs, once as popular as reliabilities.
also seem to have gone into the discard, for
while half a dozen of these climbs were staged in
various parts of the country they were of local
caliber and brought out poor fields, as the mak-
ers did not support them.

elimination race took place before hostilities be-
gan on the other side of the Atlantic and when
it was planned to hold the big race as usual.
Eight balloons started from St. Louis July 11.
but weather conditions were unfavorable and, the
distances made were comparatively short. The
race was won by the Goodyear, piloted by R.
A. D. Preston of Akron, O. It landed near Con-
stance, Ky.. about 300 miles from the starting
point.
MILITARY AVIATION DISASTER IN AUSTRIA.
While engaged in mimic warfare at a height of
1,300 feet above the ground a biplane and a
dirigible collided near Vienna, Austria, June 20.
1914, with the result that all the men on both
the airships were killed. The disaster occurred
at the time of the Austrian army maneuvers
and under conditions supposed to be identical
with those liable to take place in actual war-
fare. The biplane, which was supposed to at-
tack the dirigible, circled about the balloon sev-
eral times, then rose to a higher altitude, ap-
parently for the purpose of attacking the slower
craft from above. The pilot for some unknown
reason failed to keep clear of the slower craft.
The nose of the biplane struck the covering of
the dirigible and ripped it open. An explosion
followed; the balloon burst into flames, which
enveloped the biplane, and then the wreckage
fell to the earth within full view of hundreds
of spectators. All the aviators were killed be-
fore they reached the ground by the gas explo-
sion. The dirigible was manned by Cant. Job-inn
Hauswirth, in command; Lieut. Ernst Hofstetter.
Lieut. Bruer. Lieut. Haidinger. Corporal Hadi-
ma. Corporal Weber and Engineer Karnmerer.
Those on the biplane were Lieut. Flatz and
Lieut. Hoosta.
BALLOON RACE IN OREGON.
Four balloons left Portland. Ore., June 11. 1914.
on the first race of the kind ever attempted on
the north Pacific coast. Each carried a pilot
and a passenger. The Uncle Sam, piloted by H. E.
Honeywell of St. Louis, was wrecked by a thun-
derstorm the same evening. The Million Popu-
lation Club, piloted by John Barry of St. Louis,
was struck by lightning and wrecked. The Kan-
sas City III., piloted by John Watts of Kansas
City, landed safely in Marlon county. The
Springfield, piloted by Roy Donaldson, was
wrecked in a storm near Blue Lake. The pilot
and his passenger. W. Henderson of Portland,
were four days in the woods before they reached
a forest rangers' camp at Walker's Prairie. June
17. The distances traversed by the various bal-
loons were short.
RECORD FOB DISTANCE.
The record for distance traveled in a balloon in
continuous flight in a race is held by Maurice Be-
naims of France, who made 1.354 miles in con-
testing for the James Gordon Bennett cup Oct.
27-29, 1912. In 1900 Count de la Vaulx made a
journey of 1.193 miles and in 1910 Alan R. Haw-
ley and Augustus Post covered 1.171 miles.
Hans Berliner with two passengers made a
balloon flight Feb. 8-16, 1914. from Bltterfeld.
Germany, to Kirgischansk. in the Ural mountains.
Russia. The distance is approximately 1,800
miles.
The record for distance traveled over water in

CENTENARIANS IN THE UNITED STATES.
According to the census of 1910 there were then
In the United States 3,555 persons 100 years of
age and over. Of these, 1,380 were men and 2,175
were women. Classified accoming to the color
they were: White men. 326; white women, 438;
total. 764; negro men, 1.004: negro women. 1.671:
total, 2,675: Indian men. 50: Indian women, 66;
total, 116. Classified as to place of birth. 439
were native white and 293 foreign born white.
The number of centenarians reported by the cen-
sus of 1900 was 3.504. "It may be noted," says
a census report in commenting on these figures,
"that the proportion of centenarians, according
to the census returns, was less in 1910 than in
1900. In fact, the proportion has steadily de-
creased from census to census for over half a
century. The number of centenarians reported in
1910 was equal to 4 for each 100.000 of the total
population, while the corresponding ratio in 1850
was 11. It is improbable that any such decrease
in longevity has actually occurred. By no means
have all those who report themselves as 100
years old or more, in fact, reached that age.
and the apparent reduction in the proportion of
centenarians is probably due to greater accuracy
in the returns."
Deaths of centenarians reported from Nov. 1.
1913, to Nov. 1. 1914:

BUCK'S STOVE COMPANY BOYCOTT CASE.
Proceedings were brought in the Supreme court
of the District of Columbia in August, 1907,
against the officers of the American Federation
of Labor to enjoin them from conducting a boy-
cott against the Buck's Stove and Range com-
panv of St. Louis, Mo., by advertising that the
concern was on the "unfair" and "we don't
patronize" lists of the federation's official organ.
The injunction was issuea by Judge Gould Dec.
23, 1907. On the plea that the injunction was
being violated proceedings for contempt of court
were brought against Samuel Gompers. president:
John Mitchell, vice-president, and Frank Morri-
son, secretary of the federation. They were de-
clared guilty bv Justice Wricht of the Supreme
court of the District of Columbia Dec. 23, 1908.
Mr. Gompers was sentenced to one year's impris-
onment, Mr. Mitchell to nine months' and Mr.
Morrison to six months' imprisonment. They
were admitted to bail and the case was taken to
the Court of Appeals of the District of Colum-
bia, which tribunal decided Nov. 2, 1909, that the
decree against them was valid.
An appeal was taken to the United States Su-
preme court, which on May 15, 1911, reverseo the
judgments of the lower courts and remanded the
case. May 5, 1913, the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia again affirmed the original
findings in the contempt case, but reduced Mr.
Gompors" sentence to thirty days in jail and
held that Mitchell and Morrison should be ex-
empt from prison sentences, but should each pay
;i fine of $500. June 19, 1913, Chief Justice White
appeal by the defendants that the case be heard
again by the highest tribunal.
'May 11, 1914, the United States Supreme court
set aside the sentences imposed upon Gompers.
Mitchell and Morrison on the ground that they
were barred by the statute of limitations. Jus-
tice Holmes, who read the opinion, held that
the contempt proceedings should have been begun
within th.ree years from the date of the offense.
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
ARCTIC AND ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION.
DISASTER TO STEFANSSON EXPEDITION.
Vilhjalmar Stefansson's exploring ship, the
KarKiK. a steam whaler of 320 tons, was crushed
in the ice in the Arctic ocean early on the morn-
ing of Jan. 16, 1914. sixty miles north of Herald
island, which is northeast of Siberia. Capt. Rob-
ert A. Bartlett was in command, Mr. Stefans-
son himself being engaged in exploring work
elsewhere at the time. The officers, crew and
scientists aboard had time to leave the ship and
take some dogs, provisions and tents with them.
All except eight reached Wrangel island over
the ice and passed the rest of the winter there
in tents. March 18 Capt. Bartlett, accompanied
by a number of Eskimos, went by dog sledge 100
miles to the mainland forty miles west of Cape
North, and thence along the coast to Cape North.
He was taken across the strait on the whaler
Herman and arrived at St. Michael. Alaska,
May 31. Here he at once set about making prep-
arations for the relief of the men remaining on
Wrangel island.
In July the revenue cutter Bear was sent out.
but on account of heavy ice was unable to reach
the island. Then in August the schooner Wing
and Wing was engaged for the rescue work. In
the early part of September it reached Roger's
harbor, Wrangel island, and here after much diffi-
culty John Munro, chief engineer: F. W. Maurer,
fireman, and R. Templeman. steward, were taken
aboard. The vessel then went to Cape Waring,
where the following were found: W. McKinlay,
meteorologist: Neil Williamson, second engineer:
J. R. Hadley, ship's carpenter; C. Williams, sea-
man: Ernest Chafe, cabin boy, and an Eskimo
family. It was thought that others might be on
Herald island, but all efforts to reach it failed
because of heavy ice. The schooner then started
for Nome, but on the way met the Bear, to
which the rescued were transferred and brought
to Nome, which point was reached on Sept. 14.
Three men died on Wrangel island before the
rescue ship arrived. These were George S. Mai-
loch, geologist: Bjarme Mamen, topographer, and
George Breddy, a fireman, who accidentally shot
himself. The others died of nephritis. The oth-
ers who left the Kirluk at the time the vessel
went down, but who failed to reach Wrangel
island, were in two parties of four each. One
consisted of the first and second officers. Alex
ander Anderson and Charles Barker, and Brady
and King, seamen. The second party consisted
of Henri Beuchat. anthropologist: James Murray,
oceanographer : Dr. A. Forbes Mackay. surgeon,
and a seaman named Morris. It is the general
opinion that these men all perished.
No news was received up to a late date in the
fall from Mr. Stefansson.
SHACKLETON TRANSANTARCTIC EXPEDI-
TION.
In spite of the fact that England was engaged
in a great war with Germany. Austria-Hungary
and Turkey, Sir Ernest Shackleton started in
the fall of 1914 on another expedition to the
south polar regions. His plan this time was not
simply to go to the pole and back, but to trav-
erse the south polar region from one side to the
other. Before his departure .Sir Ernest said that
in recent years the interest of geographers and
the public had been centered in the approach to
the pole from the Ross sea, and that on the op-
posite side but little progress had been made.
In the Weddell quadrant there were still great
white spaces on the map representing unex-
plored regions. It was the object of his expedi-
tion to start from a base in the Weddell s<?a.
traverse the unknown area to the pole and then
go on, probably over the route taken by Capt.
Scott in his journey to the pole.
The expedition is making use of two ships, as
there will be two parties in the undertaking. Sir
E. Shackleton secured the Polaris, a ship built
in Norway especially for polar work, renamed it.
the Endurance and fitted it out for the party
under his own leadership. The other ship is
the Aurora, a vessel already famous in ant-
arct'.c work. This will be used by the second
party, which is to meet the first if it succeeds
in making the crossing. The Endurance sailed
from London Aug. 1 with a portion of the ex-
peditionary force. Sir Ernest Shackleton and
others of the party left Sept. 18 and arrived at
Bueiios Aires, Argentina. Oct. 8. With the
leader of the expedition and the rest of the Wed-
dell sea party aboard the Endurance sailed from
Buenos Aires Oct. 26. The plan was for the ship
to proceed to the Falkland islands and South
Georgia and thence to the Weddell sea. The
Aurora was to leave Australia about Dec. 1 and
proceed to McMurdo sound with the Ross sea
party. The leader of this section of the expedi-
tion is Lieut, tineas Mackintosh. The Weddell
sea pirty includes, in addition to Sir E. Shackle-
ton, Frank Wild, second in command; George
Marston, Tom Crean, Capt. Orde Leese. J. Mc-
Ilroy, R. W. James, physicist: L. Hussey. as-
sistant physicist; J. M. Wordie, geologist: V.
Studd. geologist: Lieut. F. Dobbs and Lieut. C.
Brocklehurst and a number of others occupying
minor positions. What is called the shore party
numbers fifteen men.
The Endurance is a vessel of 658 tons and is
144 feet long and 25 feet wide. It carries in ad-
dition to the crew and expeditionary force a
large number of dogs and several motor sledges
for the laud and ice journey. Sir E. Shackleton
hopes, should his plan for the crossing of the
Antarctic meet with success, to meet the Ross
sea party in April of next year. In case of his
inability to cross in the first season, he has ar-
ranged for the Aurora to winter in the Ross sea
in order to meet him in March, 1916, should he
be successful in effecting a crossing during the
second season.
AMUNDSEN EXPEDITION CANCELED.
Capt. Roald Amundsen's projected expedition to
the north polar regions was canceled in 1914.
His purpose was to sail in the Fram from San
Francisco, enter the arctic ice north of Bering
strait in September, 1915 or 1916. and drift
across the polar area. Many difficulties were en-
countered by the explorer in raising the neces-
sary funds and then the European war broke out.
disarranging all his plans. Sept. 10. 1914. it was
announced that he had postponed the expedition
Indefinitely. Capt. Amundsen was to have been
accompanied by Capt. Wilhelm Filsehner of the
German navy.
RETURN OF MAWSON EXPEDITION.
Dr. Douglas Mawson, the Australian explorer,
and six companions who were forced to spend
the winter of 1913-1914 on Adelie land, were
brought back to Adelaide, South Australia, Feb.
26, 1914, on the steamship Aurora. All of the
party were well. Dr. Mawson said that the sci-
entific results of the expedition, which reached
Adelie or Wilke's land in the fall of 1911. in-
cluded the mapping of newly discovered lauds,
the finding of extraordinary marine fauna at a
depth of two miles and the discovery of copper
beds and coal fields.

In five states in 1892 the eloctoral vote was
divided: California gave 8 electoral votes for
Cleveland and 1 for Harrison and Ohio gave 1 for
Cleveland and 22 for Harrison; in Michigan, by
act of the legislature, each congressional district
voted separately for an elector; in Oregon 1 of
the 4 candidates for electors on the people's
partv ticket was also on the democratic ticket;
in North Dakota 1 of the 2 people's party elec-
tors cast his vote for Cleveland, this causing the
electoral vote of the state to be equally divided
among Cleveland, Harrison and Weaver. In 1896
California gave 8 electoral votes to McKinley
and 1 to Bryan; Kentucky gave 12 to McKiuley
and 1 to Bryan. In Maryland in 1904 7 of the
presidential electors chosen were democrats and
1 republican. In 1908 Maryland elected 6 demo-
cratic and 2 republican electors. In 1912 California
elected 11 progressive and 2 democratic electors.

APPORTIONMENT OF REPRESENTATIVES.
[Prom census bureau report.]
The apportionment of representatives In con-
gress, under the ttrst six censuses — 1790 to 1840,
inclusive — was made by congress, each by a sep-
arate act. The law for taking the census of 1850.
which was intended to be permanent, presented
a rule of apportionment, fixed the number of
members of the house at 233 and directed the
secretary of the interior thereafter to make the
apportionment. The apportionment of 1860 was
also made under this law, but congress, on March
4, 1862, fixed the total number of representatives
at 241, and the secretary of the interior appor-
tioned the new quotas to the states. The appor-
tionments from and after the census of 1870 were
made by congress, each by a separate act, hence
it may be assumed that the power conferred on
the secretary of the interior by the act of May
23, 1850, was repealed by implication. The fol-
lowing shows the dates of the apportionment acts
and the ratio of population to each representative:

VICi:-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
The vice-presidential candidates, who were
voted for and who received the same number of
ballots as party nominees for president, were:
1900, Theodore Roosevelt, Rep., and Adlai E.
Stevenson, Dem.; 1904, Charles W. Fairbanks,
Rep., and Henry G. Davis, Dem.; 1908, James
8. Sherman, Rep., and John W. Kern, Dem.:
1912, Thomas R. Marshall, Dem., Hiram W.
Johnson, Prog., and Nicholas Murray Butler.
Rep. In 1912 James S. Sherman, the republican
nominee, died just prior to the election and no
attempt was made to fill his place. The re-
publican electors cast their «igbt votes for
Nicholas Murray Butler of New York. An in-
formal poll of the members of the republican
national committee taken after Mr. Sherman's
death showed a strong sentiment for Herbert
S. Hadley of Missouri for vice-president, but a
meeting of the committee, which had been an-
nounced for Nov. 12, was called off by Chairman
Charles D. Hilles, and no formal action was
«ver taken on the subject.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1916.
The next president and vice-president of the
United States will be chosen Nov. 7. 1916. As is
we»l known, these officials are not elected direct-
ly by the people, but by electors, who are voted
for on the party tickets on the date named. The
electors chosen meet on the second Monday in
January following their election in their respec-
tive states and vote by bal'.ot for president and
vice-president of the United States. The result is
transmitted to the president of the senate in Wash-
ington. On the second Wednesday in February
succeeding the meeting of the electors the elec-
toral votes are opened and counted in the pres-
ence of both houses of congress and the result
announced by the president of the senate.
While the president and vice-presid. nt are thus
formally elected in 1917, the actual choice is
made in 1916. Many of the states now provide for
the expression of presidential preferences at the
party primaries and it is possible that the can-
didates in 1916 will practically be named in this
way. However, in the spring and summer of that
year national party conventions will be held for
the nomination of candidates for president and
vice-president of the United States for the term
beginning March 4. 1917. These conventions are
not provided for by the constitution, but it has
become the invariable rule that the candidates
presented by them are voted for by the presiden-
tial electors. The latter are nominated at the
state party conventions or primaries and are
elected on the first Tuesday after the first Mon-
day in November of every fourth year, preceding
the end of the presidential term. Each state is
entitled to as many electors as it has senators
and representatives. No senator or representative
or person holding an office of trust or honor un-
der the United States may be an elector. The
twelfth amendment to the constitution prescrioes
how the electors shall meet and cast their bal-
lots and how congress shall count the votes. The
article is as follows:
"The electors shall meet in their respective
states and vote by ballot for president and vice-
president, one of whom at least shall not be an
inhabitant of the same state with themselves:
they shall name in their ballots the person voted
for as president, and in distinct ballots the per-
son voted for as vice-president, and they shall
make distinct lists of all persons voted for as
president and of all persons voted for as vice-
president, find of the number of votes for each,
which list they shall sign and certify and trans-
rait, sealed, to the seat of the government of the
United States, directed to the president of the
senate.
"The president of the senate shall, in the pres-
ence of the senate and house of representatives,
open all the certificates and the votes shall then
be counted: the person having the greatest num-
ber of votes for president shall be the president,
if such number be a majority of the whole num-
ber of electors appointed: and If no person have
such majority, then from the persons having the
highest numbers, not exceeding three, on the list
of those voted for as president, the house of rep-
resentatives shall choose immediately by ballot
the president. But in choosing the president the
votes shall be taken by states, the representation
from each state having one vote; a quorum for
this purpose shall consist of a member or mem-
bers from two-thirds of the states, and a major-
ity of all the states shall be necessary to a
choice. And If the house of representatives shall
not choose a president, whenever the right of
choice shall devolve upon them, before the 4th
day of March next following, then the vice-pres-
ident shall act as president, as in the case of the
death or other constitutional disability of the
president.
"The person haying the greatest number of
votes as vice-president shall be the vice-presi-
dent, if such number be a majority of the whole
number of electors appointed, and if no person
have a miiority, then from the two highest mem-
bers on the list the senate shall choose the vice-
president: a quorum for the purpose shall consist
of two-thirds of the whole number of senators,
and a majority of the whole number shall be nec-
essary to a choice. But no person constitutionally
ineligible to the office of president shall be eli-
gible to that of vice-president of the United
States."
Section 5, article II.. of the constitution pre-
scribes the qualifications of the president as fol-
lows:
"No person except a natural born citizen or a
citizen of the United States at the time of the
adoption of the constitution shall be eligible to
the office of president: neither shall any person
be eligible to that office who shall not have at-
tained to the age of 35 years and been fourteen
years a resident within the United States."
The qualifications of the vice-president are the
same as those of the president.
DELEGATES TO REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.
At a meeting of the republican national com-
mittee held in Washington, D. C., Dec. 16-17,
1913, the following resolution was adopted:
"Confident that the action of this committee,
representing, as it does, practically the unani-
mous sentiment of the republican electors of the
states, will be ratified by the republican elec-
tors of the states, be it
"Resolved, That this committee shall issiie a
call for the national convention, to be held in
the year 1916. to nominate candidates for presi-
dent and vice-president in accordance with the
following basis of representation: Each state
shall be entitled in such convention to four dele-
gates at large; one delegate at large for each
representative in congress at large from any
state; one delegate from each congressional dis-
trict; an additional delegate from each congres-
sional district in which the vote either for re-
publican presidential electors in 1908 or for the
republican candidate for congress in 1914 shall
not have been less than 7,500, and that for each
delegate chosen an alternate delegate shall be
chosen in the same manner and at the same time
to act in the absence of the delegate.
"Provided, however. Th'it the above basis of
representation shall not be made the basis of
the call for the national convention to be held
344
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1918.
in the year 1916, unless prior to Jan. 1. 1915. re-
publican state conventions held under the laws
of the states, or called by the republican state
committees of the states In such number of
states as are entitled to cast a majority of the
votes in the present electoral college, shall rati-
fy the action of this committee in respect to de-
termining this basis of representation."
This action was taken for the purpose of re-
ducing the number of delegates from the south-
ern states to the national convention. Under
this plan the southern delegates in the 1916 con-
vention will be 16 per cent of the total number
instead of 33 per cent, as In 1912. The total
number of delegates will be reduced from 1,078,
as in 1912, to 993. Every state convention held
between Dec. 17, 1913, and Nov. 1, 1914. except that
in Texas, gave its assent to the plan, which
therefore will be carried out. In the next na--
tional convention the reductions in the state
delegations will be as follows:
Alabama 8
Arkansas 3
Florida 4
Georgia 11
Louisiana 8
Mississippi 8
New York 2
North Carolina 3
South Carolina 7

CONFLAGRATION IN SALEM, MASS.
More than 1,000 buildings were destroyed by
fire in Salem, Mass., June 25, 1914. Some 18.000
persons were made homeless and four lost their
lives. The property* loss was estimated at $12,-
000,000, of which $10,000,000 was covered by in-
surance. The fire began at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, when an explosion occurred in the
factory of the Korn Leather company at Proctor
and Boston streets. This factory stoou near the
foot of Gallows hill, famous as the place where
witches were hanged in colonial days. A high
wind carried the flames through the "manufactur-
ing district, thence southeastward to the heart
of the city, across a tenement house section and
to the water front. A shift in the wiud sent
the fire northward along Lafayette street, where
many of the c ty's finest residences were burned.
Scores of business houses were destroyed and
only the free use of dynamite prevented the fire
from sweeping the whole city. The Salem hos-
pital was burned but all the patients were re-
moved safely. The Peaboay museum, the birth-
nlace of Nathaniel Hawthorne, the House of the
Seven Gables and other structures of historic
interest escaped the flames. The state and city
authorities took prompt steps to provide the
homeless with shelter and food.

WELSH CHURCH DISESTABLISHMENT.
The first bill to become a law under the par-
liament act was that disestablishing the Welsh
church. It was brought into parliament in 1912
and 1913, passed by the house of commons and
rejected by the house of lords on both occasions.
It was introduced again in 1914 and was passed
by the commons for the third time (May 19) by a
vote of 328 to 251. It then became a law auto-
matically without the sanction ol the lords. The
act terminates the establishment of the church
of England in Wales and Monmouthshire, dis-
solves all cathedrals and ecclesiastical corpora-
tions and ends ecclesiastical law and the coercive
Jurisdiction of ecclesiastical courts. No Welsh
oishop is now eligible to sit in the house of
lords, but the Welsh clergy may sit in the house
of commons. Property belonging to the Welsh
cnurch is vested by the act in 'Welsh commis-
sioners, who manage and distribute U.

SUMMARY OF CAUSES.
The long predicted and long dreaded war be-
tween the powers of Europe broke out in the
summer of 1914 and within a few weeks was be-
ing carried on by land and sea in nearly every
quarter of the globe. Beginning with a conflict
between Austria-Hungary and Servia. it spread to
Germany. Russia. France, Great Britain and Its
dominions, Belgium, Japan, Montenegro and Tur-
key. War credits were voted by the billions of
dollars and armed men were placed In the field
by millions. The commerce and industry of the
world were paralyzed not only through the de-
struction or throat of destruction of merchant
vessels by hostile warships and the closing of
communications, but by the disarrangement of
international finances. It was nothing less than
a world catastrophe.
The Immediate causes of the war are consid-
ered very fully in the diplomatic correspondence
between the representatives of the powers in-
volved. The letters, notes and telegrams ex-
changed and statements made by the ambassa-
dors, ministers, premiers, rulers, high officials
and other agents of Great Britain, Germany,
Hussia. Belgium. France and Servia are given
in full hereinafter in order that they may be
easily accessible to students of the great con-
flict. It will be seen that the assassination of
Archduke Ferdinand, the crown prince of Aus-
tria-Hungary, and his wife by a Servian at Sara-
jevo June 28. 1914. was the event which led the
dual monarchy to declare war on Servia. Rus-
sia came to the defense of Servia and this
lirought Germany into the conflict as the ally of
Austria-Hungary. Russia and France were allies
and hence Germany attacked both. Germany re-
fused to respect the neutrality of Belgium and
this drew Great Britain into the struggle. Japan
as an ally of Great Britain seized the opportu-
nity to attack Gi-rman3''s colony of Kiaochow in
China. Canada. India. Australia and other do-
minions and possessions of Britain came to the
assistance of the mother country for obvious
reasons. Later Turkey attacked Russia, for rea-
sons which it did not proclaim, but which may be
conjectured. Britain and France attacked Tur-
key In support of their ally. Russia. Montene-
gro entered the war as a Slav country closely
connected with Servln and long at enmity with
Austria-Hungary. These were the immediate
reasons why one country after another became
involved In the war. the precipitating cause of
which concerned directly only Austria-Hungary
and Servia.
But there were other deeper and more potent
reasons why the great powers of the old world
were plunged into war. There has been an end-
less amount of discussion as to these and no
attempt will be made here to pass Judgment upon
them. Among the causes most frequently ad-
vanced are these:
1. Commercial and industrial rivalry, especially
as developed between Germany and Great Britain.
2. International Jealousy as to power and pre-
dominance in the- world. This Involved—
3. Excessive armaments entailing heavy bur-
dens* on the people and developing a spirit of —
4. Militarism and growth of military parties
and military castes.
5. Conflict of Slav and Teuton races resulting
from national aspirations for territorial expan-
sion; racial antagonism.
6. Desire of certain rulers to put an end to
internal strife by consolidating public opinion
through the agency of a foreign war appealing
to the patriotism of the people
7. Desire to preserve the status quo in Europe
by preserving the neutrality and independence of
the smaller nations.
8. Revenge resulting from former conflicts,
such as the war of 1870 between the German
states and France and the more recent Balkan
wars.
9. Conflict of national ideals or "cultures."
10. Conflict of democracy as opposed to au-
tocracy and bureaucracy.
11. Personal ambitions of men high in posi-
tion, authority and power.
12. Persistent talk of war by yellow Journals
and Jingoists.
13. Publication of books, like those of Gen
von Bernhardi, declaring war to be a blessing'
a necessity and a great factor In the further-
apce of culture and power.
14. Formation of international alliances pre-
venting the localizing of any conflict.
The following were among the claims made in
Justification of the attitude of the various na-
tions involved in the war:
On behalf of Servia— That the growth and le-
gitimate aspirations of the nation had always
been hampered and to a great extent prevented
by Austria-Hungary: that the dual monarchy had
annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina, provinces In-
habited chiefly by Slavs or races closely akin to
the Serbs: that Austria-Hungary had taken a
hostile attitude toward Servia and Montenegro
in the late Balkan wars.
On behalf of Montenegro— That Austria-Hun-
gary was chiefly responsible for compelling Monte-
negro to give up Scutari after its capture in
April, 1913: that the dual monarchy bad always
been hostile to Montenegro.
On behalf of Austria-Hungary— That the Ser-
vians and Montenegrins were continually plot-
ting against the dual monarchy with the object
of separating the Slav provinces from It and
destroying Its power; that to carry out this pur-
pose they formed secret organizations for the
purpose of fomenting discord In Bosnia, Herzego-
vina and other provinces: that Servia aided and
abetted the plot to assassinate Archduke Ferdi-
nand and his wife.
On behalf of Russia— That Servia was under
the protection of Russia, which was bound to
defend the smaller nation in case it was attacked
by Austria-Hungary: that as the main Slavic
power it was its duty to come to the defense
of Servia. a Slavic, state; that Austria-Hungary
and Germany had been' hostile toward Russia
and its political and industrial progress; that
Germany had backed up Turkey in opposition
to Russia.
On behalf of Germany— That Austria-Hungary's
war against Servia was just; that as the ally
of the dual monarchy It was bound to come to
its defense when threatened by Russia; that
Russia had mobilized and was ready to attack

not only Austria-Hungary, but Germany; that
France had mobilized and as the ally of Russia
was preparing to attack Germany: that France
hr.d prepared for years to make war on Germany
in revenge for the defeat of 1870; that the viola-
tion of the neutrality of Belgium was a bitter
military necessity; that Britain and France had
themselves planned to vlo.ate the neutrality of
Belgium in making war on Germany; that the
triple entente had inclosed Germany in a "ring
of iron" to prevent its expansion; that its coloni-
zation plans had been hampered; that it was
a fight between German culture and Russian
barbarism; that it was virtually a fight for the
very existence of the German empire.
On behalf of Great Britain— Thr\t Great Britain
was bound to defend the neutrality of Belgium
as guaranteed by the powers of Europe; that it
was important to sustain the balance of power
in Europe by preserving the independence of the
smaller nations such as Belgium, Holland, Swit-
zerland and the Scandinavian kingdoms; that
it was bound to assist France if attacked under
such circumstances as actually occurred; that
it was a fight against German military arro-
gance; that it was a case of British democracy
as opposed to German autocracy; that it was a
case of defending its own power and safety as
a nation.
On behalf of Belgium— That Its honor. Integrity
and dignity as a nation required it to defend its
pledged neutrality and national independence to
the last.
On behalf of Japan— That Its alliance with
Great Britain and the safety of its commerce
as well as the preservation of peace in the far
east compelled Japan to make war on Germany
and take possession of Tslngtao and other places
used by German commerce raiders.
On bohalf of Turkey— That it had a right to
fake the opportunity to attack its old enemy,
Russia, and try to recover some of the territory
and prestige lost i« the Balkan wars.
THE ASSASSINATION OF ARCHDUKE
FERDINAND.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria and his
wife, the duchess of Hohenberg, were shot and
instantly killed by a student named Gavrilo
Prinzip in Sarajevo, Bosnia, Sunday, June 28,
1914. The archduke, nephew of Emperor Francis
Joseph and heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne,
was making an official visit with his wife to>
the country which, with Herzegovina, was an-
nexed to Austria-Hungary in October, 1908. He
was accompanied by a large miHtarv suite and
it was said that he wore a bullet-proof shirt of
mail to protect him in case an attempt was
made on his life. Other precautions were also
taken, as it was realized that he was very un-
popular among the Servians, who wished Bosnia
to become a part of Servia. In Sarajevo, the
capital of the annexed country, the feeling
seemed to be especially bitter.
Two attempts to kill the heir-apparent and his
wife were made. The first occurred when the
royal couple were proceeding in an automobile
to the town hall, where they wore to be oflicially
welcomed. A man named Nedeljo Gabrinovics,
21 years old, threw a bomb at the archduke's
car, but the missile was warded off and did not
explode until a second automobile, containing
members of the archduke's suite, was passing
over it. Col. Morlzzl, aid de camp to the arch-
duke, and Count Wa]deck were injured by the
flying fragments, the former so severely that he
had to be taken to a hospital. Six persons among
the spectators were also more or less seriously
hurt. Gabrinovics sprang into the River Miljacha
in an effort to escape, but witnesses of his deed
captured him and turned him over to the police.

ess tried to dissuade the archduke from contin-
uing to the town hall, but M. Potlorek, governor
of Bosnia, allayed her fears and the visit was
made. When the burgomaster began the custom-
ary address the archduke Interrupted him and
said angrily:
"Herr Burgomaster, It Is perfectly scandalous.
We have come to Sarajevo and a bomb is
thrown at us." Here he paused a moment and
then said: "Now you can go on." The mayor
delivered his address and the archduke replied
In suitable terms. After spending half an hour
in making the rounds of the town hall the arch-
duke and the duchess started in an automobile
for the garrison hospital to visit Col. Morizzi.
As the car reached the corner of Rudolf and
Francis Joseph streets, Gavrilo Prinzlp, who was
on the sidewalk, drew a revolver and fired two
shots at the royal couple. The first shot struck
the duchess low down on the right side; the sec-
ond bullet hit the archduke in the neck and
pierced the jugular vein. The duchess became
unconscious Immediately and fell across the
knees of her husband, who likewise became un-

conscious a few seconds after he was hit. Both
died without uttering a word.
Prinzip was seized, by the police before he
could stir from the spot and hurried away to
prevent the great cro\vd, which had gathered,
from mobbing him. When questioned he said he
was 18 years of age and had studied for a time
in Belgrade. Servia. He declared that he had
long intended to kill some eminent person for
nationalist motives. He denied that he knew
Gabrlnovics and said that the first attempt to
kill th<> archduke by means of a bomb was a sur-
prise to him. The authorities were convinced
that the assassination was the result of a care-
fully laid plot by persons who hated the arch-
duke because he represented the nation which
had defeated the national aspirations of the
Serbs in Bosnia.
Oct. 26, Prinzlp: Grabez. a student: Nedeljo,
Gabrlnovles and twenty-one others were found
guilty of treason. Oct. 28 Prinzlp was sentenced
fp imprisonment for twenty years. Four of
conspirators were sentenced to death by hanging,
one to life imprisonment, two to twenty years,
me to sixteen years, one to thirteen years, two
to ten years, one to seven years and two to three
years.
Francis Ferdinand was born Dec, 18, 1863. His
father, the Archduke Carl Ludwig, was a broth-
er of Emperor Francis Joseph, and his mother
was Maria Annunzlata, daughter of Ferdinand II.
)f Naples. Francis Ferdinand became heir-appar-
ent when Crown Prince Rudolph, the only son
of Francis Joseph, met a tragic death In 1889.
July 1, 1900, he entered into a morganatic mar-
riage with Sophie, duchess of Hohenberg. born
Countess Chotek, renouncing on her behalf and
their future heirs all claims to the throne of
Austria-Hungary. The duchess was horn in
Stuttgart. March 1, 1868. They, left three chil-
dren, Sophie. Maximilian and Ernest.
By the death of Francis Ferdinand the Arch-
duke Charles Francis Joseph, born Aug. 17, 1887,
son of Archduke Otto, younger brother of Fran-
cis Ferdinand, became heir-apparent to the
throne of Austria-Hungary.
INTERNATIONAL COMBINATIONS.
THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
The nations in the triple alliance at the be-
ginning of the war were Germany, Austria-Hun-
gary and Italy. Prior to its formation in 1884,
Bismarck had brought about an alliance between
Germany and Austria for the purpose of making
a joint defense in case of either being attacked
by Russia. Jn 1881 Tunis was occupied by France,
and Italy, feeling itself isolated and threatened
by this move, entered the Austro-Gernian com-
pact, which thus became a triple alliance. The
terms of the treaty- have never been officially
published, but it has been well understood that
the signatory powers agreed to defend the in-
tegrity of their continental possessions from
attack by any other power. The alliance has
been renewed or extended from time to time and
it was reported, though not officially confirmed,
that it was renewed in 1912 for a period of
twelve years. In the meantime the relations of
Italy with France had grown cordial and In
1902 the government in Rome assured the presi-
dent of the republic that in no case could Italy
become either the instrument or the auxiliary of
an aggression against France. An understanding
was reached as to all Mediterranean and African
questions not only between Italy and France but
between Italy and England. These good rela-
tions were maintained and it was felt in Ger-
many and Austria-Hungary that so far as con-
cerned Britain and France and their ally Russia,
Italy's adherence to the alliance could not be
relied upon. It was announced in Rome Aug.
1, 1914, that "Italy's obligations under the trip'e
alliance applied only to a defensive war" and
that therefore the country would remain neutral
In the struggle begun by Austria-Hungary and
Germany.
THE TRIPLE ENTENTE.
The nations in the triple entente are France,
Russia and Great Britain. As the triple alliance
at the start was a dual alliance, so the triple
entente began with a dual compact bet ween France
and Russia, dating back to 1897. This bad refer-
ence to mutual support in case of a war with
Germany. Great Britain originally favored the
triple alliance as against Russia, but the growth
of better relations with Fraace and of the feel-
ing that Germany with its vast naval and mili-
tary preparations for war was more dangerous
to British supremacy than Russia led to a change
of attitude. In- 1904 an entente cordiale between
Britain and France was brought about, and this
was extended to include Russia, the understand-
ing thus becoming a triple entente. The com-
pact has been described more as in the nature
of a "gentlemen's agreement" than as a formal
alliance. It left the governments free to deter-
mine for themselves whether to take part In a
war affecting one or the other parties to the
agreenjept or to remain neutral,

BRITISH WHITE PAPER.
Issued by foreign office in London Aug. 5, 1914.
NO. 1. SIB EDWABD OBEY TO SIB B. GOSCHEN.
London, Foreign Office, July 20, 1914.
Sir: I asked the German ambassador to-day
if he had any news of what was going on in Vi-
enna with regard to Servia.
He said that he had not, -but Austria was
certainly going to take some step, and he regard-
ed the situation as very uncomfortable.
I said that I had not heard anything recently,
except that Count Berchtold. In speaking to the
Italian ambassador In Vienna, had deprecated the
suggestion that the situation was grave, but had
said that it should be cleared up.
The German ambassador said that it would be
a very desirable thing if Russia could act as a
mediator with regard to Servia.
I said that I assumed that the Austrian gov-
ernment would not do anything until they had
first disclosed to the public their case against
Servia, founded presumably upon what they hud
discovered at the trial.
The ambassador said that he certainly assumed
that they would act upon some case that would
be made known.
I said that this would make it easier for oth-
ers, such as Russia, to counsel moderation in
Belgrade. In fact, the more Austria could keep
her demand within reasonable limits, and the
stronger the justification she could produce for
making any demand, the more chance there-
would be of smoothing things over. I hated the
Idea of a war between any of the great powers,
and that any of them should be dragged into a
war by Servia would be detestable.
The ambassador agreed wholeheartedly in this
sentiment. I am, &c., E. GREY.
NO. 2. SIB E. GOSCHEN TO SIB EDWABD OBEY.
(Received July 22.)
(Telegraphic.) Berlin. July 22, 1914.
Last night I met secretary of state for foreign
affairs, and the forthcoming Austrian demarche
at Belgrade was alluded to by his excellency in
the conversation that ensued. His excellency
was evidently of opinion that this step on Aus-
tria's part would have been made ere this. He
insisted that question at issue was one for
settlement between Servia and Austria alone,
and that there should be no interference from
outside in the discussions between those two
countries. He had, therefore, considered it inad-
visable that the Austro-Hungarian government
should be approached by the German government
on the matter. He had, however, on several oc-
casions in conversation with the Servian minister
emphasized the extreme importance that Austro-
Servian relations should be put on a proper foot-
ing.
Finally, his excellency observed to me that for
a long time past the attitude adopted toward
Servia by Austria had. In his opinion, been one
of great forbearance.
NO. 3. SIB EDWABD GREY TO SIB M. DE BTJNSEN.
London, Foreign Office, July 23, 1914.
Sir: Count Mensdorff told me to-day that he
would be able to-morrow morning to let me have
officially the communication that he understood
was being made to Servia to-day by Austria. He
then explained privately what the nature of the
demand would be. As he told me tliat the facts
would all be set out in the paper that he would
give me to-morrow, it is unnecessary to record
them now. I gathered that they would include
proof of the complicity of some Servian officials
in the plot to murder the Archduke Franz Ferdi-
nand, and a long list of demands consequently
made by Austria on Servia.
As regards all tihis, I said that it was not a
matter on which I would make any comment un-
til I received an official communication, and it
seemed to me probably a matter on which I
should not be able to make any comment at first
sight.
But, when Count Mensdorff told me that he
supposed there would be something in the nature
of a time limit, which was in effect akin to an
ultimatum, I said that I regretted this very
much. To begin with, a time limit might in-
flame opinion in Russia, and it would make It
difficult, if not impossible, to give more time,
even if after a few .days it appeared that by
giving more time there would be a prospect of
securing a peaceful settlement and getting a sat-
isfactory reply from Servia. I admitted that if
there was no time limit the proceedings might
be unduly protracted, but I urged that a time
limit could always be Introduced afterward; that,
if the demands were made without a time limit
in the first instance, Russian public opinion
might be less excited, after a week It might
have cooled down, and If the Austrian case was
very strong it might be apparent that the Rus-
sian government would be in a position to use
their influence in favor of a satisfactory reply
from Servia. A time limit was generally a thing
to be used only in the last resort, after other
means had been tried and failed.
Count Mensdorff said that if Servia. In the in-
terval that 'had elapsed since the murder of the
archduke, bad voluntarily Instituted an Inquiry
on her own territory, all this might have been
avoided. In 1909 Servia had said In a note that
she intended to live on terms of good ueighlwr
hood with Austria: but she had never kept her
promise; she had stirred up agitation the object
of which was to disintegrate Austria, and it was
absolutely necessary for Austria to protect her-
self.
I said that I would not comment upon or criti-
cise what Count Mensdorff had told me this
afternoon, but I could not help dwelling upon the
awful consequences Involved in the situation.

half of patience and moderation. I had replied
that the amount of Influence that could be used
In this sense would depend upon how reasonable
were the Austrian demands and how strong the
justification that Austria might have discovered
for' making her demands. The possible conse-
quences of the present situation were terrible. If
as many as four great powers of Europe — let us
say Austria. France, Russia and Germany— were
engaged in war, it seemed to me that it must
involve the expenditure of so vast a sum of
money and such an Interference with trade that
a war would be accompanied or followed by a
complete collapse of European credit and indus-
try. In these days, in great industrial states,
this would mean a state of things worse than
that of 1848, and, irrespective of who were vic-
tors in the war, many things might be complete-
ly swept away.
Count Mensdorff did not demur to this statement
of the possible consequences of the present situa-
tion, but he said that all would depend upon
Russia.
I made the remark that in a time of difficulties
such as this, it was just as true to say that it re-
quired two to keep the peace as it was to say.
ordinarily, that it took two to make a quarrel.
I hoped very much that If there were difficul-
ties Austria and Russia would be able in the
first instance to discuss them directly with each
other.
Count Mensdorff said that he hoped this would
be possible, but he was under the impression that
the attitude in St. Petersburg had not been very
favorable recently. I am, &c.. E. GREY.
NO. 4. COUXT BEBCHTOLD TO COUNT MEXSDOHFF.
(Communciated by Count Mensdorff. Vienna, July
24, 1914— Translation.)
The Austro-Hungarian government felt com-
pelled to address the following note to the Ser-
vian government on the 23d July, through the
medium of the Austro-Hungarian minister at Bel-
grade:
"On the 31st March, 1909, the Servian minister
in Vienna, on the instructions of the Servian
government, made the following declaration to
the imperial and royal government:
"Servia recognizes that the fait accompli re-
garding Bosnia has not affected her rights, and
consequently she will conform to the decisions
that the powers may take in conformity with
article 25 of the treaty of Berlin. In deference
to the advice of the great powers Servia under-
takes to renounce from now onward the attitude
of protest and opposition which she has adopted
with regard to the annexation since last autumn.
She undertakes, moreover, to modify the direc-
tion of her policy with regard to Austria-Hun-
gary and to live in future on good neighborly
terms with the latter."
The history of recent years, and in particular
the painful events of the 28th June last, have
shown the existence of a subversive movement
with the object of detaching a part of the terri-
tories of Austria-Hungary from the monarchy.
The movement, which had its birth under the eye
of the Servian government, has gone so far as to
make itself manifest on both sides of the Servian
frontier in the shape of acts of terrorism and p
series of outrages and murders.
Far from carrying out the formal undertakings
contained in the declaration of the 31st March,
1909, the royal Servian government has done noth-
ing to repress these movements. It has permitted
the criminal machinations of various societies and
associations directed against the monarchy and
has tolerated unrestrained language on the part
of the press, the glorification of the perpetra-
tors of outrages and the participation of officers
and functionaries in subversive agitation. It has
permitted an unwholesome propaganda in public
instruction. In short, it has permitted all mani-
festations of a nature to incite the Servian pop-
ulation to hatred of the monarchy and contempt
of its institutions.
This culpable tolerance of the royal Servian
government had not ceased at the moment when
the events of the 2Sth June last proved its fatal
consequences to the whole world.
It results from the depositions and confessions
of tbe criminal perpetrators of the outrage of
the 28tb June that the Serajevo assassinations
were planned in Belgrade, that the arms and
explosives with which the murderers were pro-
vided had been given to them by Servian officers
and functionaries belonging to the Narodna Od-
brana, and, finally, that the passage into Bosnia
of the criminals and their arms was organized
and effected by the chiefs of the Servian frontier
service.
The above-mentioned results of the magisterial
investigation do not permit the Austro-Hungarian
government to pursue any longer the attitude of
expectant forbearance which it has maintained
for years in face of the machinations hatched in
Belgrade, and thence propagated in the territo-
ries of the monarchy. The results, on the con-
trary, impose on it the duty of putting an end
to the intrigues which form a perpetual menace
to the tranquillity of the monarchy.
To achieve this end the imperial and royal gov-
ernment sees itself compelled to demand from
the royal Servian government a formal assurance
that it condemns this dangerous propaganda
against the monarchy; in other words, the whole-
series of tendencies, the ultimate aim of which
is to detach from the monarchy territories be-
longing to it, and that it undertakes to suppress
by every means this criminal and terrorist prop-
aganda.
In order to give a formal character to this un-
dertaking the royal Servian government shall
publish on the front page of its official journal
of the 26th June (13th July) the following decla-
ration:
"The royal government of Servia condemns the
propaganda directed against Austria-Hungary —
i. e.. the general tendency of which the final
aim is to detach from the Austro-Hungarian mon-
archy territories belonging to it, and it sincerely
deplores the fatal consequences of these criminal
proceedings.
"The royal government regrets that Servian of-
ficers and functionaries participated in the above
mentioned propaganda and thus compromised the
good neighborly relations to which the royal gov-
ernment was solemnly pledged by its declaration1
of the 31st March, 1909.
"The royal government, which disapproves and
repudiates all idea of interfering or attempting
to interfere with the destinies of the inhabi-
tants of any part whatsoever of Austria-Hungary,
considers it its duty formally to warn officers
and functionaries, and the whole population of
the kingdom, that henceforward it will proceed
with the utmost rigor against persons who may
be guilty of such machinations, which it will
us« all its efforts to anticipate and suppress."
This declaration shall simultaneously be com-
municated to the royal army as an order of the
day by his majesty the king and shall be pub-
lished in the official bulletin of the army.
The royal Servian government further under-
takes :
1. To suppress any publication which incites
to hatred and contempt of the Austro-Hungarian
monarchy and the general tendency of which is
directed against its territorial Integrity:
2. To dissolve immediately the society styled
Narodna Odbrana, to confiscate all its means of
propaganda, and to proceed in the same manner
against other societies and their branches in
Servia which engage in propaganda against the
Austro-Hungarian monarchy. The royal govern-
ment shall take the necessary measures to pre-
vent the societies dissolved from continuing their
activity under another name and form:
3. To eliminate without delay from public in-
struction in Servia. both as regards the teaching
body and also as regards the methods of instruc-
tion, everything that serves, or might serve, to
foment the propaganda against Austria-Hungary:
4. To remove from the military service, and
from the administration in general, all officers
and functionaries guilty of propaganda against
the Austro-Hungarian monarchy whose names and
deeds the Austro-Hungarian government reserves
to Itself the right of communicating to the royal
government:
6. To accept the collaboration in Servia of rep-
resentatives of the Austro-Hungarian government
la the suppress) oo of the subversive movement

directed against the territoria integrity of the
monarchy:
6. To take Judicial proceedings against acces-
sories to the plot of the 28th June who are on
Servian territory. Delegates of the Anstro-Hun-
garian government will takt part in the investi-
gation relating thereto;
7. To proceed without delay to the arrest of
Major Voija Tankositch and of the individual
named Milan Ciganovitch, a Servian state em-
ploye, who have been compromised by the results
of the magisterial inquiry at Serajevo;
8. To prevent by effective measures the co-
operation of the Servian authorities in the illicit
traffic in arms and explosives across the frontier,
to dismiss and punish severely the officials of the
frontier service at Schabatz and Loznica guilty
of having assisted the perpetrators of the Sera-
jevo crime by facilitating their passage across
the frontier:
9. To furnish the imperial and royal govern-
ment with explanations regarding the unjustifi-
able utterances of high Servian officials, both in
Sorvia and abroad, who. notwithstanding their
official position, did not hesitate after the crime
of the 28th June to express themselves in inter-
views in terms of hostility to the Austro-Hun-
garian government: and. finally,
10. To notify the imperial and royal govern-
ment without delay of the execution of the meas-
ures comprised under the preceding heads.
The Austro-Hungarlan government expects the
reply of the royal government at the latest by 6
o'clock on Saturday evening, the 25th July.
A memorandum dealing with the results of the
magisterial inquiry at Serajevo with regard to
the officials mentioned under heads (7) and (8)
is attached to this note.
I have the honor to request your excellency to
l»ring the contents of this note to the knowledge
•of the government to which you are accredited,
accompanying your communication with the fol-
lowing observations:
On the 3lst March. 1909, the royal Servian gov-
ernment addressed to Austria-Hungary the dec-
laration of which the text is reproduced above.
On the very day after this declaration Servia
•embarked on a po'.icy of instilling revolutionary
ideas into the Serb subjects of the Austro-Hun-
garian monarchy,- and so preparing the separation
of the Austro-Hungarlan territory on the Servian
frontier.
Servia became the centre of a criminal agita-
tion.
No time was lost in the formation of societies
and groups, whose object, either avowed or se-
cret, was the creation of disorders on Austro-
Hungarian territory. These societies and groups
count among their members generals and diplo-
matists, government officials and judges— in short,
men at the top of official and unofficial society
In the kingdom.
Servian journalism is almost entirely at the
service of this propaganda, which is directed
against Austria-Hungary, and not a day passes
without the organs of the Servian press stirring
up their readers to hatred or contempt for the
neighboring monarchy, or to outrages directed
more or less openly against its security and in-
tegrity.
A large number of agents are employed in car-
rying on by every means the agitation against
Austria-Hungary and corrupting the youth in the
frontier provinces.
Since the recent Balkan crisis there has been
a recrudescence of the spirit of conspiracy in-
herent in Servian politicians, which has left such
sjinguinary Imprints on the history of the king-
dom. Individuals belonging formerly to bands
employed in Macedonia have come to place them-
selves at the disposal of the terrorist propaganda
against Austria-Hungary.
In the presence of these doings, to which Aus-
tria-Hungary has been exposed for years, the
Servian government has not thought it incumbent
on it to take the slightest step. The Servian
government has thus failed in the duty imposed
on it by the solemn declaration of the 31st
March, 1909. and acted in opposition to the will
of Europe and the undertaking given to Austria-
Hungary.
The patience of the imperial and royal govern-
ment in the face of the provocative attitude of
Servia was Inspired by the territorial disinterest-
edness of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and
the hope that the Servian government would end
in spite of everything by appreciating Austria-
Hungary's friendship at its true value. By ob-
serving a benevolent attitude toward the political
interests of Servia. the imperial and royal gov-
ernment hoped that the kingdom would finally
decide to follow an analogous line of conduct on
its own side. In particular Austria-Hungary ex-
pected a development of this kind in the political
ideas of Servia. when, after the events of 1912.
the imperial and royal government, by its dis-
interested and ungrudging attitude, made such a
considerable aggrandizement of Servia possible.
The benevolence which Austria-Hungary showed
toward the neighboring state had no restraining
effect on the proceedings of the kingdom, which
continued to tolerate on its territory a propa-
ganda of which the fatal consequences were dem-
onstrated to the whole world on the 28th June
last, when the heir presumptive to the monarchy
and his illustrious consort fell victims to a plot
hatched at Belgrade.
In the presence of this state of things the Im-
perial and royal government has felt compelled
to take new and urgent steps at Belgrade with a
view to inducing the Servian government to stop
the incendiary movement that Is threatening the
security and integrity of the Austro-Hungarian
monarchy.
The imperial and royal government is con-
vinced that In taking this step It will find itself
in full agreement with the sentiments of all civi-
lized nations, who cannot permit regicide to be-
come a weapon that can be employed with im-
punity In political strife and the peace of Europe
to be continually disturbed by movements ema-
nating from Belgrade.
In support of the above the imperial and royal
government holds at the disposal of the British
government a dossier elucidating the Servian in-
trigues and the connection between these In-
trigues and the murder of the 28th June.
An Identical communication has been addressed
to the Imperial and royal representatives accred-
ited to the other signatory powers.
You are authorized to leave a copy of this dis-
patch in the hands of the minister for foreign af-
fairs.
Vienna, July 24, 1914.
ANNEX.
The criminal Inquiry opened by the court of
Serajevo against Gavrilo Princip and his acces-
sories in and before the act of assassination com-
mitted by them on the 28th June last, has up to
the present led to the following conclusions:
1. The plot, having as its object the assassi-
nation of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand at the
time of his visit ti> Serajevo, was formed at Bel-
grade by Gavrilo Princip, Nedeljko Cabrinovic, one
Milan Ciganovic, and Trifko Grabez, with the as-
sistance of Commander Voija Tankoslc.
2. The six bombs and the four Browning pis-
tols and ammunition with which the guilty par-
ties committed the act were delivered to Princip.
Cabrinovic, and Grabez, by the man Milan Ciga-
novic and Commander Voija Tankosic at Bel-
grade.
3. The bomb's are hand-grenades, coming from
the arms depot of the Servian army at Kragu-
jevac.
4. In order to Insure the success of the act.
Ciganovic taught Princip, Cabrinovic. and Grabez
how to use the bombs, and gave lessons in firing
Browning pistols to Princip and Grabez In a
forest near the shooting ground at Topschider.
6. To enable Princip. Cabrinovic, and Grabez
to cross the frontier of Bosnia-Herzegovina and
smuggle in their contraband of arms secretly, a
secret system of transport was organized by
Ciganovic.
By this arrangement the introduction into
Bosnia-Herzegovina of criminals and their arms
was effected by the officials controlling the fron-
tiers at Chabac (Rade Popovic) and Loznica. as
well as by the customs officer Rudivoj Greblc of
Loznica, with the assistance of various Individ-
uals.

London. Foreign Office. July 24, 1914.
Note addressed to Servia, together with an ex-
planation of the reasons leading up to it. has
been communicated to me by Count Mensdorff.
In the ensuing conversation with his excellency
I remarked that it seemed to me a matter for
great regret that a time limit, and such a short
one at that, had been insisted upon at this stage
of the proceedings. The murder of the archduke
and some of the circumstances respecting Servia
quoted in the note aroused sympathy with Aus-
tria, as was but natural, but at the same time I
had never before seen one state address to an-
other independent state a document of so for-
midable a character. Demand No. 5 would be
hardly consistent with the maintenance of Ser-
via's independent sovereignty if it were to mean.
as it seemed that it might, that Austria-Hungary
was to be invested with a right to appoint offi-
cials who would have authority within the fron-
tiers of Servia.
I added that I felt great apprehension, and
that I should concern myself with the matter
simply and solely from the point of view of the
peace of Europe. Tihe merits of the dispute be-
tween Austria and Servia were not the concern
of his majesty's government, and such comments
as I had made above were not made in order to
discuss those merits.
I ended by saying that doubtless we should en-
ter into an exchange of views with other powers,
and that I must await their views as to what
could be done to mitigate the difficulties of the
situation.
Count Mensdorff replied that the present situa-
tion might never have arisen if Servia had held
out a hand after the murder of the archduke;
Servia had, however, shown no sign of sympathy
or help, though some weeks had already elapsed
since the murder; a time limit, said his excel-
lency, was essential, owing to the procrastina-
tion on Servia's part.
I said that if Servia had procrastinated in re-
plying a time limit could have been introduced
later; but, as things now stood, the terras of the
Servian reply had been dictated by Austria, who
had not been content to limit herself to a de-
mand for a reply within a limit of forty-eight
hours from its presentation.
NO. 6. SIB G. BUCHANAN TO SIR EDWARD GREY.
(Received July 24.)
(Telegraphic.) St. Petersburg, July 24, 1914.
I had a telenhone message this morning from
M. Sazonof to the effect that the text of the
Austrian ultimatum had just reached him.
His excellency added that a reply within forty-
eight hours was demanded, and he begged me to
meet him at the French embassy to discuss mat-
ters, as Austrian step clearly meant that war
was imminent.
-Minister for foreign affairs said that Austria's
conduct was both provocative and immoral; she
would never have taken such action unless Ger-
many had first been consulted: some of her de-
mands were quite impossible of acceptance. He
hoped that his majesty's government would not
fail to proclaim theifr solidarity with Russia and
France.
The French ambassador gave me to understand
that France would fulfill all the obligations en-
tailed by her alliance with Russia, if necessity
arose, besides supporting Russia strongly in any
diplomatic negotiations.
I said that I \yould telegraph a full report to
you of what their excellencies had just said to
me. I could not, of course, speak in the name of
his majesty's government, but personally I saw
no reason to expect any declaration of solidarity
from his majesty's government that would entail
an unconditional engagement on their part to
support Russia and France by force of arms.
Direct British interests in Servia were nil, and a
War on behalf of that country would never be
sanctioned by British public opinion. To this
M. Sazonof replied that we must not forget that
the general European question was involved, the
Servian question being but a part of the former,
and that Great Britain could not afford to efface
herself from the problems now at issue.
In reply to these remarks I observed that 1
gathered from what he said that his excellency
was suggesting that Great Britain should join
in making a communication to Austria to the
effect that active intervention by her in the in-
ternal affairs of Servia could not be tolerated.
But, supposing Austria nevertheless proceeded to
embark on military measures against Servia in
spite of our representations, was it the Intention
of the Russian government forthwith to declare
war on Austria?
M. Sazonof said that he himself thought that
Russian mobilization would at any rate have to
be carried out: but a council of ministers was
being held this afternoon to consider the whole
question. A further council would be held, prob-
ably to-morrow, at which the emperor would pre-
side, wihen a decision would be come to.
I said that it seemed to me that the important
point was to induce Austria to extend the time
limit, and that the first thing to do was to bring
an influence to bear on Austria with that end in
view; French ambassador, however, thought that
either Austria had made up her mind to act at
once or that she was bluffing. Whichever it might
be, our only chance of averting war was for us
to adopt a firm and united attitude. He did not
think there was time to carry out my suggestion.
Thereupon I said that it seemed to me desirable
that we should know just how far Servia was
prepared to go to meet the demands tormulated
by Austria in her note. M. Sazonof replied that
he must first consult his colleagues on this point,
but that doubtless some of the Austrian demands
could be accepted by Servia.
French ambassador and M. Sazonof both con-
tinued to press me for a declaration of complete
solidarity of his majesty's government with
French and Russian governments, and I therefore
said that it seemed to me possible that you
might perhaps be willing to make strong repre-
sentations to both German and Austrian govern-
ments, urging upon them that an attack upon
Servia by Austria would endanger the whole
peace of Europe. Perhaps you might see your
way to saying to them that such action on the
part of Austria would probably mean Russian in-
tervention, which would involve France and Ger-
many, and that it would be difficult for Great
Britain to keep out if the war were to become
general. M. Sazonof answered that we would
sooner or later be dragged into war, if it did
break out; we should have rendered war more
likely if we did not from the outset make com-
mon cause with his country and with France: at
any rate, he hoped (bis majesty's government
would express strong reprobation of action taken
by Austria.
President of French republic and president of
the council cannot reach France, on their return
from Russia, for four or five days, and it looks
as though Austria purposely chose this moment
to present their ultimatum.
It seems to me. from the language held by
French ambassador, that, even if we decline to
join thejn. France and Russia are determined to
make a strong stand.

Before departing on leave of absence, I was as-
sured by Russian ambassador that any action
taken by Austria to humiliate Servia could not
leave Russia indifferent.
Russian charge d'affaires was received this
morning by minister for foreign affairs, and said
to him, as his own personal view, that Austrian
note was drawn up in a form rendering it impos-
sible of acceptance as it stood, and that it was
both unusual and peremptory in its terms. Min-
ister for foreign affairs replied that Austrian
minister was under instructions to leave Bel-
grade unless Austrian demands were accepted in-
tegrally by 4 p. m. tomorrow. His excellency
added 'that dual monarchy felt that its very ex-
istence was at stake; and that the step taken
had caused great satisfaction throughout the
country. He did not think that objections to
what had been done could be raised by any
power.

Austrian demands are considered absolutely
unacceptable by Servian government, who ear-
nestly trust that his majesty's government may
see their way to induce Austrian government to
moderate them.
This request was conveyed to me by Servian

NO. 9. NOTE COMMUNICATED BY GEBMAN AMBAS-
SADOB.
London, July 24, 1914.
The publications of the Austro-Hungarian gov-
ernment concerning the circumstances under
which the assassination of the Austrian heir
presumptive and his consort lias taken place dis-
close unmistakably the aims which the Great
Servian propaganda has set itself, and the means
it employs to realize them. The facts now made
known must also do away with the last doubts
that the centre of activity of all those tenden-
cies which are directed toward the detachment
of the southern Slav provinces from the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy and their incorporation into
the Servian kingdom is to be found in Belgrade,
and is at work there with at least the conniv-
ance of members of government and army.
The Servian intrigues have been going on for
many years. In an especially marked form the
Great Servian chauvinism manifested itself dur-
ing the Bosnian crisis. It was only owing to the
far-reaching self-restraint and moderation of the
Austro-Hungarian government and to the ener-
getic interference of the great powers that the
Servian provocations to which Austria-Hungary
was then exposed did not lead to a conflict. The
assurance of good conduct In future which was
given by the Servian government at that time
has not been kept. Under the eyes, at least with
the tacit permission of olBcial Servia. the Great
Servian propaganda has continuously increased in
extension and intensity: to its account must be
set the recent crime, the threads of which lead
to Belgrade. It has become clearly evident that
it would not be consistent either with the dig-
nity or with the self-preservation of the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy still longer to remain in-
active in face of this movement on the other side
of the frontier, by which the security and the
integrity of her territories are constantly men-
aced. Under these circumstances the course of
procedure and demands of the Austro-Hungarian
government can only be regarded as equitable
and moderate. In spite of that, the attitude
which public opinion as well as the government
in Servia has recently adopted does not exclude
the apprehension that the Servian government
might refuse to comply with those demands, and
might allow themselves to be carried away into
a provocative attitude against Austria-Hungary.
The Austro-Hungarian government, if it does not
wish definitely to abandon Austria's position as
a great power, would then have no choice but to
obtain the fulfillment of their demands from tbi;
Servian government by strong pressure and. if
necessary, by using military measures, the choice
of the means having to be left to them.
The imperial government want to emphaslz-.-
their opinion that in the present case there is
only question of a matter to be settled exclu-
sively between Austria-Hungary and Servia. and
that the great powers ought seriously to endeav-
or to reserve it to those two immediately con-
cerned. The imperial government desire urgent-
ly the localization of the conflict, because every
interference of another power would, owing to
the different treaty obligations, be followed by
incalculable consequences.

Sir: After telling M. Cambon to-day of the
Austrian communication to Servia which I had
received this morning, and of the comment I had
made to Count Mensdorff upon it yesterday, I
told M. Cambon that this afternoon I was to see
the German ambassador, who some days ago had
asked me privately to exercise moderating in-
fluence in St. Petersburg. I would say to the
ambassador that, of course. If the presentation
of this ultimatum to Servia did not lead to trou-
ble between Austria and Russia, we need not
concern ourselves about it: but if Russia took the
view of the Austrian ultimatum, which it seemed
to me that any power interested In Servia would
take, I should be quite powerless, in face of the
terms of the ultimatum, to exercise any moder-
ating influence. I would say that I thought the
only chance of any mediating or moderating in-
fluence being exercised was that Germany.
France, Italy and ourselves, who had not direct
interests in Servia. should act together for the
sake of peace, simultaneously in Vienna and St.
Petersburg.
M. Cambon said that, if there was a chance of
mediation by the four powers, he had no doubt
that his government would be glad to join in it:
but he pointed out that we could not say any-
thing in St. Petersburg till Russia had expressed
some opinion or taken some action. But. when
two days were over, Austria would mareh into
Servia. for the Servians could not possibly ac-
cept the Austrian demand. Russia would be com-
pelled by her public opinion to take action as
soon as Austria attacked Servia. and therefore,
once the Austrians had attacked Servia, it would
bo too late for any mediation.
I said that I had not contemplated anything
being said in St. Petersburg until after It was
clear that there must be trouble between Austria
and Russia. I had thought that if Austria did
move into Servia. and Russia then mobilized. It
would be possible for the four powers to urge
Austria to stop her advance, and Russia also to
stop hers, pending mediation. But it would be
essential for any chance of success for such a
step that Germany should participate in it.
M. Cambon said that it would be too late after
Austria had once moved against Servia. The im-
portant thing was to gain time by mediation in
Vienna. The best chance of this being accepted
would be that Germany should propose it to the
other powers.
I said that by this he meant a mediation be-
tween Austria and Servia.
He replied that it was so.
I said that I would talk to the German am-
bassador this afternoon on the subject.
I am. &c.. E. GREY.

German ambassador has communicated to mr
the view of the German government about the
Austrian demand in Servia. I understand the
German government is making the same commu-
nication to the powers.
I said that if the Austrian ultimatum to Ser-
via did not lead to trouble between Austria and
Russia, I had no concern with it: I had heard
nothing yet from St. Petersburg, but I was very
apprehensive of the view Russia would take of
the situation. I reminded the German ambassa-
dor that some days ago he had expressed a
personal hope that if need arose I would endeav-
or to exercise moderating influence at St. Peters-
burg, but now I said that, in view of the ex-
traordinarily stiff character of the Austrian note,
the shortness of the time allowed, and the wide
scope of the demands upon Servia, I felt quito
helpless as far a,s Russia was concerned, and I
did not believe any power could exercise influence
alone.
The only chance I could see of mediating or
moderating Influence being effective, was that the
four powers, Germany, Italy, France, and our-
selves, should work together simultaneously at
Vienna and St. Petersburg in favor of modera-
tion in the event of the relations between Aus-
tria and Russia becoming threatening.
The immediate danger was that in a few hours
Austria might march into Servia and Russian
Slav opinion demand that Russia should march
to help Servia ; it would be very desirable to get
Austria not to precipitate military action and so
to gain more time. But none of us could in-
fluence Austria in this direction unless Germany
would propose and participate in such action at
Vienna. You should Inform secretary of state.

Prince Licbnowsky said that Austria might be
expected to move when the time limit expired
unless Servia could give unconditional acceptance
of Austrian demands in toto. Speaking private-

ply must iu no case be returned by Servia; a
reply favorable on some points must be sent at
once, so that an excuse against immediate ac-
tion might be afforded to Austria.

Servia ought to promise that, if it is proved
that Servian officials, however subordinate they
may be, were accomplices in the murder of the
archduke at Serajevo, she will give Austria the
fullest satisfaction. -She certainly ought to ex-
press concern and regret. For the rest, Servian
government must reply to Austrian demands as
they consider best in Servian interests.
It is impossible to say whether military action
by Austria when time limit expires can be avert-
ed by anything but unconditional acceptance of
her demands, but only chance appears to lie in
avoiding an absolute refusal and replying favor-
ably to as many points as the time limit allows.
Servian minister here has begged that his maj-
esty's government will express their views, but
I cannot undertake responsibility of saying more
than I have said above, and I do not like to say
even that without knowing what is being said
at Belgrade by French and Russian governments.
You should therefore consult your French and
Russian colleagues as to repeating what my
views are, as expressed above, to Servian govern-
ment.
I have urged upon German ambassador that
Austria should not precipitate military action.

M. Sazonof telegraphs to the Russian charge
d'affaires at Vienna on the llth (24th) July, 1914.
"The communication made by Austria-Hungary
to the powers the day after the presentation of
the ultimatum at Belgrade leaves a period to
the powers which is quite insufficient to enable
them to take any steps which might help to
smooth away the difficulties that have arisen.
"In order to prevent the consequences, equally
incalculable and fatal to all the powers, which
may^result from the course of action followed
by the Austro-Huugarian government, it seems
to us to be above all essential that the period
allowed for the Servian reply should be ex-
tended. Austria-Hungary, having declared her
readiness to inform the powers of the results
of the inquiry upon which the imperial and royal
government base their accusations, should equal-
ly allow them sufficient time to study them.
"In this case, if the powers were convinced
that certain of the Austrian demands were well
founded, they would be in a' position to offer ad-
vice to the Servian government.
"A refusal to prolong the term of the ulti-
matum would render nugatory the proposals made
by the Austro-Hungarian government to the pow-
ers, and would be in contradiction to the very
bases of international relations.
"Prince Kudachef is instructed to communicate
Ahe above to the cabinet at Vienna.
"M. Sazanof hopes that his Britannic majesty's
government will share to the point of view sot
forth above, and he trusts that Sir K. Grey
will see his way to furnish similar instructions
to the British ambassador at Vienna."

I saw the minister for foreign affairs this morn-
ing, and communicated to his excellency the sub-
stance of your telegram of to-day to Paris,* and
this afternoon I discussed with him the commu-
nication which the French ambassador suggested
should be made to the Servian government, as
recorded in your telegram of yesterday to Bel-
grade, t
The minister for foreign affairs said, as regards
the former, that the explanations of the Aus-
trian ambassador did not quite correspond with
the information which had reached him from
German quarters. As regards the latter, both
his excellency and the French ambassador agreed
that it is too late to make such a communica-
tion, as the time limit expires this evening.
The minister for foreign affairs said, that Ser-
via was quite ready to do as you had suggested
and to punish those proved to be guilty, 'but
that no independent state could be expected to
accept the political demands which had been put
forward. The minister for foreign affairs thought,
from a conversation which he had with the
Servian minister yesterday, that, in the event
of the Austrians attacking Servia. the Servian
government would abandon Belgrade and with-
draw their force's into the interior, while they
would at the same time appeal to the powers to
help them. His excellency was in favor of their
making this appeal. He would like to see the
question placed on an international footing, as
the obligations taken by Servia in 1908. to which
reference is made in the Austrian ultimatum,
were given not to Austria, but to the powers.
If Servia should appeal to the powers. Russia
would be quite ready to stand aside and leave
the question in the hands of England, France,
Germany and Italy. It was possible, in his opin-
ion, that Servia might propose to submit the
question to arbitration.
On my expressing the earnest hope that Rnssia
would not precipitate war by mobilizing until
you had had time to use your influence in favor of
peace, his excellency assured me that Russia had
no aggressive intentions, and she would take no
action until it was forced on her. Austria's ac-
tion was in reality directed against Russia. She
aimed at overthrowing the present status quo in
the Balkans and establishing her own hegemony
there. He did not believe that Germany really
wanted war. but her attitude was decided by
ours. If we took our stand firmly with France
and Russia there would be no wir. If we failed
them now rivers of blood would flow, and we
would in the end be dragged into war.
I said that England cou'd play the role of
mediator at Berlin and Vienna to better purpose
as friend, who. If her counsels of moderation
were disregarded, might one day be converted

into an ally, than If she were to declare herself
Russia's ally at once. His excellency said that
unfortunately Germany was convinced that she
could count upon our neutrality.
I said all I could to impress prudence on the
minister for foreign alfairs and warned him that
if Russia mobilized Germany would not be con*
tent with mere mobilization or give Russia time
to carry out hers, but would probably declare
war at once. His excellency replied that Russia
could not allow Austria to crush Servia and be-
come the predominant power in the Balkans, and.
if she feels secure of the support of France, she
will face all the risks of war. He assured me
once more that he did not wish to precipitate a
conflict, but that unless Germany could restrain
Austria I could regard the situation as desperate.

(Received July 25.)
(Telegraphic.) Berlin. July 25, 1914.
Your telegram of the 24th July* acted on.
Secretary of state for foreign affairs says that
on receipt of a telegram at 10 this morning from
German ambassador at London, he immediately
instructed German ambassador at Vienna to pass
on to Austrian minister for foreign affairs your
suggestion for an extension of time limit, and to
speak to bis excellency about it. Unfortunately
it appeared from press that Count Berchtold is
at Ischl, and secretary of state thought that in
these circumstances there would be delay and
difficulty in getting time limit extended. Sec-
retary of state said that he did not know what
Austria-Hungary had ready on the spot, but he
admitted quite freely that Austro-Hungarian gov-
ernment wished to give the Servians a lesson,
and that they meant to take military action. He
also admitted that Servian government could not
swallow certain of the Austro-Hungarian de-
mands.
Secretary of state said that a reassuring fea-
ture of situation was that Count Berchtold had
sent for Russian representative at Vienna and
had told him that Austria-Hungary had no in-
tention of seizing Servian territory. This step
should, in his opinion, exercise a calming influ-
ence at St. Petersburg. I asked whether it was
not to be feared that, in taking military action
.against Servia, Austria would dangerously excite
public opinion in Russia. He said he thought
not. He remained of opinion that crisis could be
localized. I said that telegrams from Russia in
this morning's papers did not look very assuring,
bat he maintained his optimistic view with regard
to Russia. He said that he had given the Rus-
sian government to understand and that last
thing Germany wanted was a general war, and
he would do all in his power to prevent such a
calamity. If the relations between Austria and
Russia became threatening, he was quite ready
to fall in with your suggestion as to the four
powers working in favor of moderation at Vienna
and St. Petersburg.
Secretary of state confessed privately that he
thought the note left much to be desired as a
diplomatic document. He repeated very earnestly
that, though he had been accused of knowing
all about the contents of that note, he had. in
fact, had no such knowledge.

that it will be most conciliatory and will meet

The Servian government consent to the publi-
cation of a declaration in the official gazette.
The ten points are accepted with reservations.
Servian government declare themselves ready to
agree to a mixed commission of inquiry so long
as the appointment of the commission can be
shown to be in accordance with international
usage. They consent to dismiss and prosecute
those officers who can be clearly proved to be
guilty, and they have already arrested the offi-
cer referred to in the Austrian note. They are
prepared to suppress the Narodna Odbrana.

the Austrian government want war at any cost,
they cannot but be content with the full satis-
faction offered in the Servian reply.

You spoke quite rightly In very difficult cir-

government. I entirely approve what you .said,
as reported in your telegram of yesterday.* and
I cannot promise more on behalf of the govern-

I do not consider that public opinion here
would or ought to sanction our going to war over
a Servian quarrel. If, however, war does take
place, the development of other issues may draw
us into it, and I am therefore anxious to pre-
vent it.
The sudden, brusque, and peremptory character
of the Austrian demarche makes it alrapst in-
evitable that in a very short time both Russia
and Austria will have mobilized against each
other. In this event, the only chance of peace,
in my opinion, is for the other four powers to
join in asking the Austrian and Russian govern-
ments not to cross the frontier, and to give time
for the four powers acting at Vienna and St.
Petersburg to try and arrange matters. If Ger-
many will adopt this view, I feel strongly that
France and ourselves should act upon it. Italy
would no doubt gladly co-operate.
No diplomatic intervention or mediation would
be tolerated by either Russia or Austria unless
It was clearly impartial and included the allies
or friends of both. The co-operation of Germany

The Austrian ambassador has been authorized
to inform me that the Austrian method of pro-
cedure on expiry of the time limit would be to
break off diplomatic relations and commence mil-
itary preparations, but not military operations.
In informing the German ambassador of this. I
said that it interposed a stage of mobilization
before the frontier was actually crossed, which
I had urged yesterday should be delayed.
Apparently we should now soon be face to face
with the mobilization of Austria and Russia.
The only chance of peace, if this did happen,
would be for Germany, France. Russia and our-
selves to keep together and to join in asking
Austria and Russia not to cross the frontier till
we bad had time to try and arrange matters be-
tween them.
The German ambassador read me a telegram
from the German foreign office saying that his
government had not known beforehand, and had
ad no more than other powers to do with the
stiff terms of the Austrian note to Servia, but
that once she had launched that note, Austria
could not draw back. Prince Lichnowsky said,
however, that if what I contemplated was medi-
ation between Austria and Russia, Austria might
be able with dignity to accept it. He expressed
himself as personally favorable to this sugges-
tion.
1 concurred in his observation, and said that I
felt I had no title to intervene between Austria
and Servia. but as soon as the question became
one as between Austria and Russia, the peace of
Europe was affected, in which we must all take
a hand.
I impressed upon the ambassador that. In the
event of Russian and Austrian mobilization, the
participation of Germany would be essential to
any diplomatic action for peace. Alone we could
do Dothlng. The French government were travel-
ing at the moment, and I had had no time to
consult them, and could not, therefore, be sure

The Russian ambassador has communicated to
me the following telegram, which his govern-

enna, with instructions to communicate it to the
Austrian minister for foreign affairs:
"The delay given to Servia for a reply Is so
limited that the powers are prevented from tak-
ing any steps to avert the complications which
•are threatening. The Russian government trust
• that the Austrian government will prolong the
time limit, and as the latter have declared their
willingness to inform the powers of the data on
which they have based their demands on Servia,
the Russian government hope that these particu-
lars will be furnished in order that the powers
may examine the matter. If they found that
some of the Austrian requests were well founded,
they would be in a position to advise the Servian
government accordingly. If the Austrian govern-
ment were indisposed to prolong the time limit,
not only would they be acting against inter-
national ethics, but they would deprive their
communication to the powers of any practical
meaning."
You may support in general terms the step
taken by your Russian colleague.
Since the telegram to the Russian ambassador
at Vienna was sent, it has been a relief to hear
that the steps which the Austrian government
were taking were to be limited for the moment
to the rupture of relations and to military prep-
arations, and not operations. I trust, therefore,
that if the Austro-Hungarian government con-
sider it too late to prolong the time limit, they
will at any rate give time in the sense and for
the reasons desired by Russia before taking any

Sir:— The Servian minister called on the 23d
instant and spoke to Sir A. Nicolson on the
present strained relations between Servia and
Austria-Hungary.
He said that his government were most anx-
ious and disquieted. They were perfectly ready
to meet any reasonable demands of Austria-Hun-
gary so long as such demands were kept on the
"terrain juridique." If the results of the in-
quiry at Serajevo — an inquiry conducted with
so much mystery and secrecy — disclosed the fact
that there were any individuals conspiring or
organizing plots on Servian territory, the Ser-
vian government would be quite ready to take
the necessary steps to give satisfaction: but if
Austria transported the question on to the po-
litical ground, and said that Servian policy, be-
ing inconvenient to her, must undergo a radical
change, and that Servia must abandon certain
political ideals, no independent state would, or
could, submit to such dictation.
He mentioned that both the assassins of the
archduke were Austrian subjects— Bosniaks: that
one of them had been In Servia. and that the
Servian authorities, considering him suspect and
dangerous, had desired to expel him. but- on ap-
plying to the Austrian authorities found that the
latter protected him, and said that he was an
innocent and harmless individual.
Sir A. Nicolson, on being asked by M. Boschko-
vitch his opinion on the whole question, ob-
served that there were no data on which to
base one, though it was to be hoped that the

terested, such as Swedish, Polish, Ruthene. Ru-

the melting pot. France, too, was not at all in
a condition for facing a war.
I replied that matters had, I thought, been
made a little difficult for other powers by the
tone of Austro-Hungarian government's ultima-
tum to Servia. One natural y sympathizes with
many of the requirements of the ultimatum, if
only the manner of expressing them had been
more temperate. It was, however, impossible,
according to the German ambassador, to speak
effectively in any other way to Servia. Servia
was about to receive a lesson which she required:
the quarrel, however, ought not to be extended
in any way to foreign countries. He doubted
Russia, who had no right to assume a protec-
torate over Servia, acting as if she made any
such claim. As for Germany, she knew very well
what she was about in backing up Austria-Hun-
gary in this matter.
The German ambassador had heard of a letter
addressed by you yesterday to the German am-
bassador in London in which you expressed the
hope that the Servian concessions would be re-
garded as satisfactory. He asked whether I had
been informed that a pretense of giving way at
the last moment had been made by the Servian
government. I had, I said, heard that on practi-
cally every point Servia had been willing to give
in. His excellency replied that Servian conces-
sions were all a sham. Servia proved that she
well knew that they were insufficient to satisfy
the legitimate demands of Austria-Hungary by
the fact that before making her offer she had
ordered mobilization and retirement of govern-
ment from Belgrade.

made by the Servian government on the 18th
March, 1909 — have not been renewed on any oc-
casion as resards the great neighboring mon-
archy, and that no attempt has been made since
that time, either by the successive royal govern-
ments or by their organs, to change the political
and legal state of affairs created in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, the royal government draw atten-
tion to the fact that in this connection the Im-
perial and royal government have made no repre-
sentation except one 'concerning a school book,
and that on that occasion the imperial and royal
government received an entirely satisfactory ex-
planation. Servia has several times given proofs
of her pacific and moderate policy during the
Balkan crisis, and it is thanks to Servia and to
the sacrifice that she has made in the exclusive
interest of European peace that that peace has
been preserved. The royal government cannot be
1'eld responsible lor manifestations of a pri-
vate character, such as artioK-s in Ihe press ajid
the peaceable work of societies— manifestations
which take place in nearly all countries in the
ordinary courso of t- vents, and wblefe as a gen-
eral rule escape official control. The royal gov-
ernment are all the less responsible in view of
the fact that at the time of the solution of a
series of questions which arose between Servia
and Austria-Hungary they gave proof of .1 prroat
readiness to oblise, and thus succeeded In settling
the n-.ajority of these questions to the advantage
cf the two neighboring countries.
For these reasons the royal government have
beoii pained and surprised at the statements ac-
cording to which members of the kingdom of
Servia are supposed to have participated In the
preparations for the crime committed at Sara-
jevo; the royal government expected to be In-
vited to collaborate in an investigation of all
that concerns this crime, and they were ready,

ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
In order to prove the entire correctness of their
attitude, to take measures against any persons
concerning whom representations were made to
them. Falling in, therefore. with the desire of
the imperial ai,d royal government, they are
prepared to hand over lor trial any Servian sub-
ject, without regard to his situation or rauk,
of whose complicity in the crime of Sarajevo
proofs are forthcoming, and more especially they
undertake to cause to be published on the first
page of the "Journal officiel," on the date of
the 13th (26th) July, the following declaration:
"The royal government of Servia condemn all
propaganda which may be directed against Aus-
tria-Hungary, that is to say, all such tendencies
as aim at ultimately detaching from the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy territories which form part
thereof, and they sincerely deplore the baneful
consequences of these criminal movements. The
royal government regret that, according to the
communication from the imperial and royal gov-
ernment, certain Servian officers and officials-
should have taken part in the above-mentioned
propaganda, and thus compromise the good neigh-
borly relations to which the royal Servian gov-
ernment was solemnly engaged by the declaration
of the 31st March, 1909, which declaration dis-
approves and repudiates all idea or attempt at
interference with the destiny of the inhabitants
of any part whatsoever of Austria-Hungary, and
they -consider it their duty formally to warn the
officers, officials, and entire population of the
kingdom that henceforth they will take the
most rigorous steps against all such persons as
are guilty of such acts, to prevent and to re-
pross which they will use their utmost endeavor."
This declaration will be brought to the knowl-
edge of the royal army in an order of the day,
in the name of his majesty the king, by his
royal highness the Crown Prince Alexander, and
will be published i« the next official army bul-
letin.
The royal government further undertake:
1. To introduce at the first regular convocation
of the skupshtina a provision into the press law
providing for the most severe punishment of in-
citement to hatred or contempt of the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy, and for taking action
against any publication the general tendency of
which is directed against the territorial integrity
of Austria-Hungary. The government engage at
the approaching revision of the constitution to
cause an amendment to be introduced into article
22 -of the constitution of such a nature that such
publication may be confiscated, a proceeding at
present impossible under the categorical terms
of article 22 of the 'Constitution.
2. The government possess no proof, nor does
the note of the imperial and royal government
furnish them with any, that the "Narodna Od-
braua" and other similar societies have com-
mitted up to the present any criminal act of
this nature through the proceedings of any of
their members. Nevertheless, the royal govern-
ment will accept the demand of the imperial and
royal government and will dissolve the "Narodna
Odbrana" society and every other society which
may be directing its efforts against Austria-Hun-
gary.
3. The royal Servian government undertake to
remove without delay from their public educa-
tional establishments in Servia all that serves or
could serve to foment propaganda against Aus-
tria-Hungary, whenever the imperial and royal
government furnish them with facts and proofs
of this propaganda.
4. The royal government also agree to remove
from military .service all such persons as the
judicial inquiry may have proved to be guilty of
acts directed against the integrity of the terri-
tory of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, ana
they expect the Imperial and royal government
to communicate to them at a later date the
names and the acts of these officers and officials
for the purposes of the proceedings which are to
be taken against them.
5. The royal government must confess that
they do not clearly grasp the meaning or the
scope of the demand made by the imperial and
royal government that Servia shall undertake to
accept the collaboration of the organs of the
imperial and loyal government upon their terri-
tory, but they declare that they will admit such
collaboration as agrees with the principle of in-
ternational law, with criminal procedure, and
with good neighborly relations.
6. It goes without saying that the royal gov-
ernment consider it their duty to open an in-
quiry against all such persons as are, or eventu-
ally may be, implicated in the plot of the 15th
June, and who happen to be within the terri-
tory of the kingdom. As regards the participa-
tion in this inquiry of Austro-Hungarian agents
or authorities appointed for this purpose by tin-
imperial and royal government, the royal govern-
ment cannot accept such an arrangement, 43 it
would be a violation of the constitution and of
the law of criminal procedure; nevertheless, in
coocrete cases communications as to the results
of the investigation in question might be given
to the Austro-Hungarian agents.
7. The royal government proceeded, on the
very evening of the delivery of the note, to ar-
rest Commandant Voislav Tankossitch. As re-
gards Milan Ziganovitch, who is a subject of the
Austro-Hungarian monarchy and who up to the
15th June was employed (on probation) by the
directorate of railways, it has not yet been pos-
sible to arrest him.
The Austro-Hungarian government are requested
to be so good as to supply as soon as possible,
in the customary form, the presumptive evidence
of guilt, as well as the eventual proofs of guilt
which have been collected up to the present time,
at the inquiry at Sarajevo, for the purposes of
the latter inquiry.
8. The Servian government will reinforce and
extend the measures which have been taken for
preventing the illicit traffic of arms and explosives
across the frontier. It goes without saying that
they will immediately order an inquiry and will
severely punish the frontier officials on the Scha-
batz-Loznitza line who have failed in their duty
and allowed the authors of the crime of Sarajevo
to pass.
9. The royal government will gladly give ex-
planations .of the remarks made by their offi-
cials, whether in Servia or abroad, in interviews
after the crime, and which, according to the
statement of the imperial and royal government,
were hostile toward the monarchy, as soon as the
impt-rial and royal government have communi-
cated to them the passages in question in these
remarks, and as soon as they have shown that
the remarks were actually made by the said of-
ficials, although the royal government will itself
take steps to collect evidence and proofs.
10. The royal go?ernment will Inform the im-
perial and royal government of the execution of
the measures comprised under the above heads,
in so far as this has not already been done by
the present note, as soon as each measure has
been ordered and carried out.
If the imperial and royal government are not
satisfied with this reply, the Servian government,
considering that it is not to the common interest
to pre? ipitate the solution of this question, are
ready, as always, to accept a pacific understand-
ing, either by referring this question to the de-
cision of the international tribunal of The Hague,
or to the great powers which took part in the
drawing up of the declaration made by the Ser-
vian government on the 18th (31st), March, 1909.

I have had conversations with all my colleagues
representing the great powers. The impression
left on my mind is that the Austro-Hungarian
note was so drawn up as to make war inevita-
ble; that the Austro-Hungarian government are
fully resolved to have war with Servia: that they
consider their position as a great power to be
at stake, and that until punishment has been ad-
ministered to Servia it is unlikely that they will
listen to proposals of mediation. This country
has gone wild with Joy at tihe prospect of war
with Servia. and its postponement or prevention
would undoubtedly be a great disappointment.
I propose, subject to any special directions you
desire to send me, to express to the Austrian
minister for foreign affairs the hope of his maj-
esty's government that it may yet be possible to
avoid war. and to ask his excellency whether he
cannot suggest a way out even now.

Your telegram of 26th July.*
Secretary of state says that conference you sug-
gest would practically amount to a court of ar-
bitration and could not. in his opinion, be called
together except at the request of Austria and
Russia. He could not. therefore, fall in with
your suggestion, desirous though he was to co-
operate for the maintenance of peace. I said I
was sure that your Idea had nothing to do with
arbitration, but meant that representatives of the
four nations not directly interested should dis-
cuss and suggest means for avoiding a dangerous
situation. He maintained, however, that such a
conference as you proposed was not practicable.
He added that news he had just received from
St. Petersburg showed that there was no inten-
tion on the part of M. de Sazonof to exchange
views with Count Berchtold. He thought that
this method of procedure might lead to a satis-
factory result, and that it would be best, before
doing anything else, to await outcome of the ex-
change of views between the Austrian and Rus-
sian governments.
In the course of a short conversation secretary
if state said that as yet Austria was only par-
tially mobilizing, but that if Russia mobilized
against Germany latter would have to follow
suit. I asked him what he meant by "mobiliz-
ing against Germany." He said that If Russia
only mobilized in south, Germany would not
mobilize, but If she mobilized in north Ger-
many would have to do so. too, and Russian sys-
tem of mobilization was so complicated that It
might be difficult exactly to locate her mobiliza-
tion. Germany would therefore have to be very
careful not to be taken by surprise.
Finally, secretary of state said that news from
St. Petersburg had caused him to take more
hopeful view of the general situation.

Austrian ambassador tried, in a long conversa-
tion which he had yesterday with the minister
for foreign affairs, to explain away objectionable
features of the recent action taken by the Ails-
tro-Hungarian government. Minister for foreign
affairs pointed out that, although he perfectly
understood Austria's motives, the ultimatum had
been so drafted that it could not possibly be ac-
cepted as a whole by the Servian government.
Although the demands were reasonable enough in
some cases, others not only could not possibly be
put into immediate execution, seeing that they
entailed revision of existing Servian laws, but
were, moreover, incompatible with Servla's dig-
nity as an independent state. It would be use-
less for Russia to offer her good offices at Bel-
grade, in view- of the fact that she was the ob-
ject of such suspicion in Austria. In order, how-
ever, to put an end to the present tension, he
thought that England and Italy might be willing
to collaborate with Austria. The Austrian am-
bassador undertook to communicate his excel-
lency's remarks to his government.
On the minister for foreign affairs questioning
me, I told him that I had correctly defined the
attitude of his majesty's government In my con-
versation with him, which I reported Ih my tele-
gram of the 24th instant.* I added that you
could not promise to do anything more, and that
his excellency was mistaken If he believed that
the cause of peace could be promoted by our tell-
ing the German government that they would have
to deal with us as well as with Russia and
France if s.he supported Austria by force of
arms. Their attitude would merely be stiffened
by such a menace, and we could only induce her
to use her Influence at Vienna to avert war bv
approaching her in the capacity of a friend who
was anxious to preserve peace. - His excellency
must not. if our efforts were to be successful,
do anything to precipitate a conflict. In these
circumstances I trusted that the Russian govern-
ment would defer the mobilisation ukase for as
long as possible and that troops would not be
allowed to cross the frontier even when it was
issued.
In reply the minister for foreign affairs told me
that until the issue of the Imperial ukase no ef-
fective steps toward mobilization could be taken.
and the Austro-Hungarian government .would
profit by delay in order to complete her military
preparations if it was deferred too long.

German ambassador has informed me that Ger-
man government accept in principle mediation
between Austria and Russia by the four powers,
reserving, of course, their right as an ally to
help Austria if attacked. He has also been in-
structed to request me to use influence in St.
Petersburg to localize the war and to keep up
the peace of Europe.
I have replied that the Servian reply went fur-
ther than could have been expected to meet th«
582
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR
Austrian demands. German secretary of state
has himself said that there were some things in
the Austrian note that Servia could hardly be
expected to accept I assumed that Servian re-
ply could not have gone as far as it did unless
Russia had exercised conciliatory influence at Bel-
grade, and it was really at Vienna that moderat-
ing influence was now required. If Austria put
the Servian reply aside as being worth nothing
and marched into Servia. it meant that she was
determined to crush Servia at all costs, being
reckless of the cousequen-ces that might be in-
volved. Servian reply should at least be treated
as a basis for discussion and pause. I said Ger-
man government should urge this at Vienna.
I recalled what German government had said as
to the gravity of the situation if the war could
not be localized, and observed that if Germany
assisted Austria against Russia it would be be-
cause, without any reference to the merits of the
dispute, Germany could not afford to see Austria
crushed. Just so other issues might b* raised that
would supersede the dispute between Austria and
Servia. and would bring other powers in, and the
war would be the biggest ever known: but as
long as Germany would work to keep the peace I
would keep closely in touch. I repeated that
after the Servian reply it was at Vienna that
some moderation must be urged.

I have been told by the Russian ambassador
that in German and Austrian circles impression
prevails that in any event we would stand aside.
His excellency deplored the effect that such an

This impression ought, as I have pointed out,
to be dispelled by the orders we have given to
the first fleet, which is concentrated, as it hap-
pens, at Portland, not to disperse for manoeuvre
leave. But I explained to the Russian ambassa-
dor that my reference to it must not be taken to
mean that anything more than diplomatic action
was promised.
We hear from German and Austrian sources
that they believe Russia will take no action so
long as Austria agrees not to take Servian terri-
tory. I pointed this out, and added that it would
be absurd if we were to appear more Servian
than the Russians in our dealings with the Ger-
man and Austrian governments.

Sir: Count Mensdorff told me by instruction
today that the Servian government had not ac-
cepted the demands which the Austrian govern-
ment were obliged to address to them in order
to secure permanently the most vital Austrian
interests. Servia showed that she did not intend
to abandon her subversive aims, tending toward
continuous disorder in the Austrian frontier ter-
ritories and their final disruption from the Aus-
trian monarchy. Very reluctantly, and against
their wish, the Austrian government were com-
pelled to take more severe measures to enforce a
fundamental change of the attitude of enmity
pursued up to now by Servia. As the British
government knew, the Austrian government had
for many years endeavored to find a way to get
on with their turbulent neighbor, though this had
been made very difficult for them by the continu-
ous provocations of Servia. The Sera.levo murder
had made clear to every one what appalling con-
sequences the Servian propaganda had already
produced, and what a permanent threat to Aus-
tria it involved. We would understand that the
Austrian government must consider that the mo-
ment had arrived to obtain, by means of the
strongest pressure, guarantees for the definite
suppression of the Servian aspirations and for the
security of peace and order on the southeastern
frontier of Austria. As the peaceable means to
this effect were exhausted, the Austrian govern-
ment must at last appeal to force. They had not
taken this decision without reluctance. Their ac-
tion, which bad no sort of aggressive tendency.
could not be represented otherwise than as an
act of self-defenso. Also they thought that they
would serve a European interest if they prevent-
ed Servia from being henceforth an element of
general unrest, such as she had been for the last
ten years. The high sense of justice of the Brit-
ish nation and of British statesmen could not
blame the Austrian government if the latter de-
fended by the sword what was theirs, and
cleared up their position with a country whose
hostile policy had forced upon them for years
measures so costly as to have gravely injured
Austrian national prosperity. Finally, the Aus-
trian government, confiding in their amicable re-
lations with us. felt that they could count on
our sympathy in a fight that was forced on them,
and on our assistance in localizing the fight, if
necessary.
Count Mensdorff added on his own account that,
as long as Servia was confronted with Turkey,
Austria never took very severe measures because
of her adherence to the policy of the free de-
velopment of the Balkan atates. Now that Ser-
via had doubled her territory and population
without any Austrian interference, the repression
of Servian subversive aims was a matter of self-
defense and self-preservation on Austria's part.
He reiterated that Austria had no intention of
taking Servian territory or aggressive designs
against Servian territory.
I said that I could not understand the construc-
tion put by the Austrian government upon the
Servian reply, and I told Count Mensdorff the
substance of the conversation that I had had
with the German ambassador this morning about
that reply.
Count Mensdorff admitted that, on paper, the
Servian reply might seem to be satisfactory; but
the Servians had refused the one thing— the co-
operation of Austrian officials and police — which
would be a real guarantee that in practice the
Servians would not carry on their subversive
campaign against Austria.
I said it seemed to me as if the Austrian gov-
ernment believed that, even after the Servian re-
ply, they could make war upon Servia anyhow,
without risk of bringing Russia into the dispute.
If they could make war on Servia and at the
same time pacify Russia, well and good: but, if
not, the consequences would be incalculable. I
pointed out to him that I quoted this phrase from
an expression of the views of the German gov-
ernment. I feared that it would be expected in
St. Petersburg that the Servian reply would di-
minish the tension, and now, when Russia found
that there was increased tension, the situation
would become increasingly serious. Already the
effect on Europe was one of anxiety. I pointed
out that our fleet was to have dispersed today,
but we had felt unable to let it disperse. Wo
should not think of calling up reserves at this
moment, and there was no menace in what we
had done about our fleet: but, owing to the pos-
sibility of a European conflagration, it was im-
possible for us to disperse our forces at this mo-
ment. I gave this as an illustration of the
anxiety that was felt. It seemed to me that the
Servian reply already involved the greatest hu-
miliation to Servia that I Tiad ever seen a coun-
try undergo, and it was very disappointing to me
that the reply was treated by the Austrian gov-
ernment as if it were as unsatisfactory as a
blank negative. I am, i&c.. E. GREY.

In order to brine to an end the subversive in-

the territorial integrity of the Austro-Hungarian
monarchy, the imperial and royal government has
delivered to the royal Servian government a note
in which a series of demands were formulated,
for the acceptance of which a delay of forty-
eight hours has been granted to the royal gov-
ernment. The ro3-al Servian government not hav-

In a note of the 25th of this month, his excel-

maintenance of peace in case of the relations be-
tween Russia and Austria becoming more strained
would be if the representatives of Great Britain.
France. Germany, and Italy in Austria and Rus-
sia were to take joint action: and he expressed
the wish to know if the government of the re-
public were disposed to welcome such a sugges-
tion.
The minister for foreign affairs ad interim has
the honor to inform his excellency Sir F. Bertie
that he has requested M. Jules Cambon to con-
cert with the British ambassador in Germany
and to support any representation which they
may consider it advisable to make to the Berlin
cabinet.
In accordance with the desire expressed by the
British government and conveyed to them by Sir
F. Bertie in his note of the 26th of this month,
the government of the republic have also author-
ized M. Paul Cambon to take part in the confer-
ence which Sir E. Grey has proposed with a view
to discovering a means of settling the present
difficulties.
The government of the republic is likewise
ready to instruct the representatives at St. Pe-
tersburg. Vienna, and Belgrade to Induce the Rus-
sian, Austrian, and Servian governments to ab-
stain from all active military operations pending
the results of this conference. He considers,
however, that the chance of Sir E. Grey's pro-
posal being successful depends essentially on the
action which the Berlin government would be
willing to take at Vienna. Representations made
to the Austro-IIungarian government for the pur-
pose of bringing about a suspension of military
operations would seem bound to fail unless the
German government do not beforehand exercise
their influence on the Vienna cabinet.

The British ambassador came to ascertain
whether we think it desirable that Great Britain
should take the initiative in convoking a confer-
ence in London of the representatives of England.
France. Germany, and Italy to examine the pos-
sibility of a way out of the present situation.
I replied to the ambassador that I have begun
conversations with the Austro-Hungarian ambassa-
dor under conditions which I hope may be favor-
able. I have not, however, received as yet any
reply to the proposal made by me for revising the
note between the two cabinets.
If direct explanations with the Vienna cabinet
were to prove impossible, I am ready to accept
the British proposal, or any other proposal of a
kind that would bring about a favorable solution
of the conflict.
I wish, however, to put an end from this day
forth to a misunderstanding which might arise
from the answer given by the French minister of
justice to the German ambassador regarding
counsels of moderation to be given to the Impe-
rial cabinet.

My interviews with the German ambassador
confirm my impression that Germany is, if any-
thing, in favor of the uncompromising attitude
adopted by Austria.
The Berlin cabinet, who could have prevented
the whole of this crisis developing, appear to be
exerting no influence on their ally.
The ambassador considers that the Servian re-
ply is insufficient.
This attitude of the German government is
most alarming.
It seems to me that England is in a better po-
sition than any other power to make another at-
tempt to Berlin to induce the German govern-
ment to take the necessary action. There is no
doubt that the key of the situation is to be
found at Berlin.

mistic.
He would, he said, use all his influence at Bel-

far as possible in giving satisfaction to Austria,
but her territorial integrity must be guaranteed

and her rights as a sovereign state respected, so
that she should not become Austria's vassal. He
did not know whether Austria would accept
friendly exchange of views which he had pro-
posed, but. if she did. he wished to keep in close
contact with the other powers throughout the
conversations that would ensue.
He again referred to the fact that the obliga-
tions undertaken by Servia in 1908. alluded to In
the Austrian ultimatum, were given to the pow-
ers.
1 asked if he had heard of your proposal with
regard to conference of the four powers, and on
his replying in the affirmative, 1 told him confi-
dentially of your instructions to me, and in-
quired whether instead of such a conference he
would prefer a direct exchange of views, which he
had proposed. The German ambassador, to whom
I had just spoken, had expressed his personal
opinion that a direct exchange of views would be
more agreeable to Austria-Hungary.
His excellency said he was perfectly ready to
stand aside if the powers accepted the proposal
for a conference, but he trusted that you would
keep in touch with the Russian ambassador in
• the event of its taking place.

The Russian ambassador had today a long and
earnest conversation with Baron Macchio. the un-
der secretary of state for foreign affairs. He
told him that, having just come back from St.
Petersburg, he was well acquainted with the
views of the Russian government and the state
of Russian public opinion. He could assure him
that if actual war broke out with Servia it
would be impossible to localize it. for Russia was
not prepared to give way again, as she had done
on previous occasions, and especially during the
annexation crisis of 1909. He earnestly hoped
that something would be done before Servia was
actually invaded. Baron Macchio replied that
this would now be difficult, as a skirmish had
already taken place on the Danube, in which the
Servians had been aggressors. The Russian am-
bassador said that he would do all he could to
keep the Servians quiet pending any discussions
that might yet take place, and he told me that
he would advise his government to induce the
Servian government to avoid any conflict as long
as possible, and to fall back before an Austrian
advance. Time so gained should suffice to enable
a settlement to be reached. He had just heard
of a satisfactory conversation which the Russian
minister for foreign affairs had yesterday with
the Austrian ambassador at St. Petersburg. The
former had agreed that much of the Austro-Hun-
garian note to Servia had b?en perfectly reason-
able, and in fact they had practically reached
an understanding as to the guarantees which
Servia might reasonably be asked to give to
Austria-Hungary for her future good behavior.
The Russian ambassador urged that the Aus-
trian ambassador at St. Petersburg should be
furnished with full powers to continue discussion
with the Russian minister for foreign affairs,
who was very willing to advise Servia to yield
all that could be fairly askod of her as an inde-
pendent power. Baron Macchio promised to sub-
mit this suggestion to the minister for foreign
affairs.

Minister for foreign affairs greatly doubts
whether Germany will be willing to invite Aus-
tria to suspend military action pending the con-
ference, but he had hopes that military action
may be practically deferred by the fact of the
conference meeting at once. As at present in-
formed, he sees no possibKity of Austria reced-
ing from any point laid down in her note to
Servia. but he believes that if Servia will even
now accept it Austria will be satisfied, and if
she had reason to think that such will be the ad-
vice of the powers. Austria may defer action.
Servia mav be induced to accept note in its en-
tirety on the advice of the four powers invited to
the conference, and this would enable her to say
that she had yielded to Europe and not to Aus-
tria-Hungary alone.
Telegrams from Vienna to the press here stat-
ing that Austria is favorably Impressed with the
declarations of the Italian government have, the
minister for foreign affairs assures me, no foun-
dation. He said he had expressed no opinion to
Austria with regard to the note. He assured me
both before and after communication of the note,
and again today.- that Austrian government have
given him assurances that they demand no terri-
torial sacrifices from Servia.

warded Servian reply as having gone far to inert
just demands of Austria-Hungary; that you
thought It constituted a fair basis of discussion
during 'which warlike operations might remain in
abeyance, and that Austrian ambassador in Ber
Hn was speaking In this sense. Minister for for-
eign affairs said quietly, but firmly, that no dis-
cussion could be accepted on basis of Servian
note; that war would be declared today, and
that well-known pacific character of emperor, as
well as, he might add. his own, might be accept-
ed as a guarantee that war was both just and
inevitable. This was a matter that must be set-
tled directly between the two parties immediate-
ly concerned. I said that you would hear with
regret that hostilities could not be arrested, as
you feared that they might lead to complications
threatening the peace of Europe.
In taking leave of his excellency, I begged him
to believe that if In the course of present grave
crisis our point of view should sometimes differ
from his. this would arise, not from want of
sympathy with the many just complaints which
Austria-Hungary had against Servia. but from
the fact that, whereas Austria-Hungary put
first the quarrel with Servia, you were anxious In
the first instance for peace of Europe. I trusted
ttiis larger aspect of the question would appeal
with equal force to his excellency. He said he
had it also in mind, but thought that Russia
ought not to oppose operations like those Impend-
ing, which did not aim at territorial aggrandize-
ment and which could no longer be postponed.

At the request of the minister for foreign af-

In a long conversation this morning Servian
charge d'affaires had said he thought that if
some explanations were given regarding mode in
which Austrian agents would require to inter-
vene under article V. and article VI., Servia
might still accept the whole Austrian note.
As It was not to be anticipated that Austria
would give such explanations to Servia. they
might be given to powers engaged In discussions,
who might then advise Servia to accept without
conditions.
The Austro-Hungarian government had In the
meantime published a long official explanation of
grounds on which Servian reply was considered
inadequate. iMinister for foreign affairs consid-
ered many points besides explanation — such as
slight verbal difference in sentence regarding re-
nunciation of propaganda— quite childish, but
there was a passage which might prove useful
In facilitating such a course as was considered
practicable by the Servian charge d'affaires.
It was stated that co-operation of Austrian
agents In Servia was to be only In Investigation,
not In judicial or administrative measures.
Servla was said to have willfully misinterpreted
this. He thought, therefore, that ground might
be cleared here.
I only reproduce from memory, as I had not
yet received text of Austrian declaration.
Minister impressed upon me. above all. his
anxiety for the immediate beginning of discus-
sion. A wide general latitude to accept at once

Explanation given In your telegram of the 27th

ference is quite right. It would not be an arbi-
tration, but a private and informal discussion to
ascertain what suggestion could be made for a
settlement. No suggestion would be put forward
that had not previously been ascertained to be
acceptable to Austria and Russia, with whom the
mediating powers could easily keep in touch
through their respective allies.
But as long as there is a prospect of a direct
exchange of views between Austria and Russia. I
would suspend every other suggestion, as I en-
tirely agree that it is the most preferable method
of all.
I understand that the Russian minister for for-

views to the Austrian government, and If the
latter accepts, it will no doubt relieve the ten-
sion and make the situation less critical.

At invitation of Imperial chancellor. I called
upon his excellency this evening. He said that
he Wished me to tell you that he was most anx-
ious that Germany should work together with
England for maintenance of general peace, as
they had done successfully in the last European
crisis. He had not been able to accept your
proposal for a conference of representatives of
the great powers, because he did not think that
it would be effective, and because such a confer-
ence would, in his opinion, have had appearance
of an "areopagus" consisting of two powers of
each group sitting in judgment upon the two
remaining powers: but his inability to accept
proposed conference must not 'be regarded as
militating against his strong desire for effective
co-operation. You could be assured that he was
doing his very best both at Vienna and St.
Petersburg to get the two governments to dis-
cuss the situation directly with each other and
in a friendly way. He had great hopes that
such discussions would take place and lead to a
satisfactory result, but if the news were true
which he had just read in the papers, that Rus-
sia had mobilized fourteen army corps in the
..south, he thought situation was very serious,
rand he himself would be in a very difficult po-
sition, as in these circumstances it would be
out of his power to continue to preach modera-
tion at Vienna. He added that Austria, who as
yet was only partially mobilizing, would have to
take similar measures, and if war were to re-
sult, Russia would be entirely responsible. I ven-
tured to say that if Austria refused to take any
notice of Servian note, which, to my mind, gave
way in nearly every point demanded by Austria,
and which in any case offered a basis for dis-
cussion, surely a certain portion of responsi-
bility would rest with her. His excellency said
that he did not wish to discuss Servian note, but
that Austria's standpoint, and in this he agreed,
was that her quarrel with Servia was a purely
Austrian concern with which Russia had nothing
to do. He reiterated his desire to co-operate with
England and his intention to do his utmost to
maintain general peace. "A war between the
great powers must be avoided," were his last
words.
Austrian colleague said to me today that a
general war was most unlikely, as Russia neither
wanted nor was in a position to make war. I
think that that opinion is shared by many peo-
ple here.

Minister for foreign affairs begged me to thank
you for the language you had held to the Ger-
man ambassador, as reported in your telegram*
to Berlin, substance of which I communicated
to his excellency. He took a pessimistic view of
the situation, having received the same disquiet-
ing news from Vienna as had reached his maj-
esty's government. I said it was important that
we should know the real intentions of the Im-
perial government, and asked him whether he
would be satisfied with the assurance which the
Austrian ambassador had, I understood, been
instructed to give in respect of Servia's integ-
rity and independence. I added that I was sure
any arrangements for averting a European war
would be welcomed by his majesty's government.
In reply his excellency stated that if Servia were
attacked, Russia would not be satisfied with any
engagement which Austria might take on these
two points, and that order for mobilization
against Austria would be issued on the day that
Austria crossed Servian frontier.
I told the German ambassador, who appealed
to me to give moderating counsels to the min-
ister for foreign affairs, that from the beginning
I had not ceased to do so, and that the German
ambassador at Vienna should now in his turn
use his restraining influence. I made it clear to
his excellency that, Russia being thoroughly in
earnest, a general war could not be averted if
Servia were attacked by Austria.
As regards the suggestion of conference, the
ambassador had received no instructions, and be-
fore acting with me the French and Italian am-
bassadors are still waiting for their final in

I was sent for again to-day by the imperial
chancellor, who told me that he regretted to
state that the Austro-Hungarian government, to
whom he had at once communicated your opin-
ion, had answered tlhat events had marched too
rapidly and that it was therefore too late to
act upon your suggestion that the Servian reply
might form the basis of discussion. His excel-
lency had, on receiving their reply, dispatched a
message to Vienna, in which he explained that,
although a certain desire had, in his opinion,
been shown in the Servian reply to meet the
demands of Austria, he understood entirely that,
without some sure guarantees that Servia would
carry out in their entirety the demands made
upon her, the Austro-Hungarian government
could not rest satisfied in view of their past ex-
perience. He had then gone on to say that the
hostilities which were about to be undertaken
against Servia had presumably the exclusive
object of securing such guarantees, seeing that
the Austrian government already assured the
Russian government that they had no territorial
designs.
He advised the Austro-Hungarian government,
should this view be correct, to speak openly in
this sense. The holding of such language would,
he hoped, eliminate all possible misunderstand-
ings.
As yet, he told me, he had not received a re-
ply from Vienna.

matter of giving advice at Vienna, his excel-
lency hoped that you would realize that he was
sincerely doing all in his power to prevent dan-
ger of European complications.

I found secretary of state very depressed
today. He reminded me that he had told me
the other day that he had to be very careful in
giving advice to Austria, as any idea that they
were being pressed would be likely to cause
them to precipitate matters and present a fait
accompli. This had, in fact, now happened, and
he was not sure that his communication of your
suggestion that Servia's reply offered a basis
for discussion had not hastened declaration of
war. He was much troubled by reports of mobi-
lization in Russia and of certain military meas-
ures, which he did not specify, being taken in
France. He subsequently spoke of these meas-
ures to my French colleague, who informed him
that French government had done nothing more
than the German government had done, namely,
recalled officers on leave. His excellency denied
German government had done this, but as a
matter of fact it is true. My French colleague
said to under secretary of state in course of
conversation that seemed to him that when Aus-
tria had entered Servia, and so satisfied her mil-
itary prestige, the moment might then be favor-
able for four disinterested powers to discuss sit-
uation and come forward with suggestions for
preventing graver complications. Under secre-
tary of state seemed to think idea worthy of

as to mobilization which the German secretary
of state had" made to the British ambassador at
Berlin. This had already reached his excellency
from another source. The mobilization, he ex-
plained, would only be directed against Austria.
Austrian government had now definitely de-
clined direct conversation between Vienna and
St. Petersburg. The minister for foreign affairs
said he had proposed such an exchange of views
on advice of German ambassador. He proposed,
when informing German ambassador of this re-
fusal of Austria's, to urge that a return should
be made to your proposal for a conference of
four ambassadors, or, at all events, for an ex-
change of views between the three ambassadors
less directly interested, yourself, and also the
Austrian ambassador if you thought it advisable.
Any arrangement approved by France and Eng-
land would be acceptable to him, and he did
not care what form such conversations took.
No time was to be lost, and the only way to
avert war was for you to succeed in arriving,
by means of conversations with ambassadors,
either collectively or individually, at some form-
ula which Austria could be induced to accept.

ried out. In reply his excellency said that he
would agree to anything arranged by the four
powers, provided it was acceptable to Servia:
he could not, he said, be more Servian than
Servia. • Some supplementary statement or expla-
nation would, however,. have to be made in order
to tone down the sharpness of the ultimatum.
Minister for foreign affairs said that proposal
referred to in your telegram of the 28th instantt
was one of secondary importance. Under altered
circumstances of situation he did not attach
weight to it. Further, the German ambassador
had informed his excellency, so the latter told
me, that his government were continuing at Vi-
enna to exert friendly influence. I fear that the
German ambassador will not help to smooth mat-
ters over, if he uses to his own government tin-
same language as he did to me today. He ac-
cused the Russian government of endangering the
peace of Europe by their mobilization, and said,
when I referred to all that had been recently
done by Austria, that he could not discuss such
matters. I called his attention to the fact that
Austrian consuls had warned all Austrian
subjects liable to military service to join the
colors, that Austria had already partially mo-
bilized, and had now declared war on Servia.
From what had passed during the Balkan crises,
she knew ' that this act was one which it was
impossible without humiliation for Russia to
submit to. Had not Russia by mobilizing shown
that she was in earnest, Austria would have
traded on Russia's desire for peace, and would
have believed that she could go to any lengths.
Minister for foreign affairs had given me to un-
derstand that Russia would not precipitate war by
crossing frontier immediately, and a week or
more would, in any case, elapse before mobili-
zation was completed. In order to find an issue
out of a dangerous situation, it was necessary
that we should in the meanwhile all work to-
gether.

There is at present no step which we could
usefully take to stop war with Servia, to which
Austro-Hungarian government are now fully com-
mitted by the emperor's appeal to his people,
which has been published this morning, and by
the declaration of war. French and Italian am-
bassadors agree with me in this view. If the
Austro-Hungarian government would convert into
a binding engagement to Europe the declaration
which has been made at St. Petersburg to the
effect that she desires neither to destroy the
independence of Servia nor to acquire Servian
territory, the Italian ambassador thinks that Rus-
sia might be induced to remain quiet. This,
however, the Italian ambassador is convinced
the Austrian government would refuse to do.

In your telegram of the 27th instant* to Ber-
lin, German ambassador was reported to have ac-
cepted in principle the idea of a conference.
This is in contradiction with the telegram of
the 27th instantt from Berlin.
Information received by the Italian government
from Berlin shows that German view is correctly
represented in Sir K. Goschen's telegram of the
27th July.t but what creates difficulty is rather
the "conference," so the minister for foreign
affairs understands, than the principle. He is
going to urge, in a telegram which he is send-
ing to Berlin to-night, adherence to the idea of
an exchange of views in London. He suggests
that the German secretary of state might pro-
pose a formula acceptable to his government.
Minister for foreign affairs is of opinion that
this exchange of views would keep the door open
ALMANAC AND YEAR-COOK FOR 1915.
'if the direct communication between Vienna and
St. Petersburg fails to have any result. He
thinks that this exchange of views might be
concomitant with such direct communication.
The German government are also being In-
formed that the Italian government would not
oe pardoned by public opinion here unless they
nad taken every possible step so as to avoid war.
He is urging that the German government must
lend their co-operation in- this.
He added that there seemed to be a difficulty
in making Germany believe that Russia was in
earnest. As Germany, however, was really anx-
ious for good relations with ourselves, if she be-
lieved that Great Britain would act with Russia
and France he thought it would have a great
effect.
Even should it prove -impossible to induce Ger-
many to take part, he would still advocate that
England and Italy, each as representing one
group, should continue to exchange views.

The German ambassador has been instructed
ny the German chancellor to inform me that he
is endeavoring to mediate between Vienna and
St. Petersburg, and he hopes with good success.
Austria and Russia seem to be In constant touch,
and he is endeavoring to make Vienna explain
in a satisfactory form at St. Petersburg the
scope and extension of Austrian proceedings in
hervia. I told the German ambassador that an
agreement arrived at direct between Austria and
Russia would be the best possible solution. I
would press no proposal as long as there was a
prospect of that, but my information this morn-
ing was that the Austrian government had de-
clined the suggestion of the Russian government
that the Austrian ambassador at St. Petersburg
should be authorized to discuss directly with the
Kussian minister for foreign affairs the means of
settling the Austro-Servian conflict. The press
correspondents at St. Petersburg had been told
that Russian government would mobilize. The
German government have said that they were fa-
vorable in principle to mediation between Russia
and Austria if necessary. They seemed to think
the particular method of conference, consulta-
tion, or discussion, or even conversations a quatre
In London too formal a method. I urged that the
German government should suggest any method by
which the influence of the four powers could be
used together to prevent war between Austria
and Russia. France agreed, Italy agreed. The
whole idea of mediation or mediating influence
was ready to be put into operation by any
method that Germany could suggest if mine wai^
not acceptable. In fact, mediation was ready tf.
come into operation by any method that Germanj
thought possible if only Germany would "press

I was asked to call upon the chancellor tonight.
His excellency had just returned from Potsdam.
He said that should Austria be attacked by
Russia a European conflagration might, he feared,
become inevitable, owing to Germany's obligations
as Austria's ally, in spite of his continued ef-
forts to maintain peace. He then proceeded to
make the following strong bid for British neu-
trality. He said that it was clear, so far as he
was able to judge the main principle which gov-
erned British policy, that Great Britain would
never stand by and allow France to be crushed
in any conflict there might be. That, however,
was not the object at which Germany aimed.
Provided that neutrality of Great Britain were
certain, every assurance would be given to the
British government that the imperial govern-
ment aimed at no territorial acquisitions at the
expense of France should they prove victorious
In any war that might ensue.
I questioned his excellency about the French
colonies, and he said that he was unable to give
a similar undertaking in that respect. As re-
gards Holland, however, his excellency said that,
so long as Germany's adversaries respected the
integrity and neutrality of the Netherlands. Ger-
many was ready to give his majesty's govern-
ment an assurance that she would do likewise.
It depended upon the action of prance what op-
erations Germany might be forceil to enter upon
in Belgium, but when the war was over Belgian
integrity would be respected If she had not
sided against Germany.
His excellency ended by saying that ever since
he had been chancellor the object of his policy
had been, as you were aware, to bring about an
understanding with England: he trusted that
these assurances might form the basis of that
understanding which he so much desired. He
had In mind a general neutrality agreement be-
tween England and Germany, though it was of
course at the present moment too early to dis-
cuss details, and an assurance of British neu-
trality in the conflict which the present crisis
might possibly produce would enable him to
look forward to realization of his desire.
In reply to his excellency's inquiry how I
thought his request would appeal to you, I said
that I did not thiuk it probable that at this
stage of events you would care to bind yourself
to any course of action and that I was of opin-
ion that you would desire to retain full liberty.
Our conversation upon this subject having come
to an end, I communicated the contents of your

London, Foreign Office, July 29, 1914.
Sir:— After telling M. Cambon today how grave
the situation seemed to be, I told him that I
meant to tell the German ambassador today that
he must not be misled by the friendly tone of
our conversations into any sense of false security;
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
that we should stand aside If all the efforts to
preserve the peace, which we were now making
la common with Germany, failed, but I wont
on to say to M. Cambon that I thought it neces-
sary to tell him also that the public opinion here
approached the present difficulty from a quite
different point of view from that taken during
the difficulty as to Morocco a few years ago.
In the case of Morocco the dispute was one In
which France was primarily interested, and in
which it appeared that Germany, in an attempt
to crush France, was fastening a 'quarrel on
France on a question that was the subject of a
special agreement between France and us. In
the present case the dispute between Austria
and Servia was not one in which we felt called
to take a hand. Even if the question became
one between Austria and Russia we should not
feel called upon to take a hand In it. It would
then be a question of supremacy of Teuton or
Slav— a struggle for supremacy In the Balkans:
and our Idea had always been to avoid being
drawn into a war over a Balkan question. If
Germany became Involved and France became In-
volved, we had not made up our minds what
we should do: it was a case that we should
have to consider. France would then have been
drawn into a quarrel which was not hers, but
in which, owing to her alliance, her honor and
Interest obliged her to engage. We were free
from engagements, and we should have to decide
what British interests required us to do. I
thought it necessary to say that because, as he
knew, we were taking all precautions with re-
gard to our fleet, and I was about to warn
Prince L/ichnowsky not to count on our standing
aside, but it would not be fair that I should
let M. Cambon be misled into supposing that
this meant that we had decided what to do in
a contingency that I still hoped might not arise.
M. Cambon said that I had explained the sit-
uation very clearly. He understood It to be that
in a Balkan quarrel and in a struggle for suprem-
acy between Teuton and Slav we should not feel
i/ailed to intervene: should other issues be raised,
and Germany and France become involved, so that
the question became one of the hegemony of
Europe, we should then decide what it was nec-
essary for us to do. He seemed quite prepared
for this announcement, and made no criticism
upon it.
He said French opinion was calm, but decided.
He anticipated a demand from Germany that
France would be neutral while Germany at-
tacked Russia. This assurance. France, of
course, could not give: she was bound to help
Russia if Russia was attacked. I am. -&c.,

Sir:— I told the German ambassador this after-
noon of the information that I had received, that
Russia had informed Germany respecting her
mobilization. I also told him of the communica-
tion made by Count Benckendorff, that the Aus-
trian declaration of war manifestly rendered
vain any direct conversations between Russia and
Austria. I said that the hope built upon those
direct conversations by the German government
yesterday had disappeared today. Today the
German chancellor was working in the interest
of mediation in Vienna and St. Petersburg. If
he succeeded, well and good. If not. it was
more important than ever that Germany should
take up what I had suggested to the German
ambassador this morning, and propose some meth-
od by which the four powers should be able to
work together to keep the peace of Europe. I
pointed out. however, that the Russian govern-
ment, whi'e desirous 9t mediation, regarded it
as a condition that the military operations
ngainst Servia should be suspended, as otherwise
a mediation would only drag on matters and
give Austria time to crush Servia. It was of
course too late for all military operations against
Servia to be suspended. In a short time, I sup-
posed, the Austrian forces would be in Belgrade,
and in occupation of some Servian territory. But
even then it might be possible to bring some
mediation Into existence, if Austria, while sa\-
IUK that she must hold the occupied territory
until she had complete satisfaction from Servia.
stated that she would not advance further, pend-
ing an effort of the powers to mediate between
her and Russia.

Sir:— After speaking to the German ambassa-
dor this afternoon about the European situation.
I said that I wished to say to him, in a quite
private and friendly way, something that was on
my mind. The situation was very grave. While
It was restricted to the issues at present actual-
ly involved, we had no thought of interfering in
it. But if Germany became involved in it. and
then France, the issue might be so great that it
would involve all European interests; and I did
not wish him to be misled by the friendly tone
of our conversation — which I hoped would con-
tinue—into thinking that we should stand aside.
He said that he quite understood this, but he
asked whether I meant that we should under
certain circumstances intervene.
I replied that I did not wish to say that, or to
use anything that was like a threat or an at-
tempt to apply pressure by saying that, if things
became worse we should intervene. There would
be no question of our intervening if Germany
was not involved, or even if France was not in-
volved. But we knew very well that if the issue
did become such that we thought British inter-
ests required us to intervene, we must intervene
at once, and the decision would have to be very
rapid, just as the decisions of other powers had
to be. I hoped that the friendly tone of our
conversations would continue as at present, and
that I should be able to keep as closely in touch
with the German government in working for
peace. But if we failed in our efforts to keep
the peace, and if the issue spread so that it in-
volved practically every European interest, I did
not wish to be open to any reproach from him
that the friendly tone of all our conversations
had misled him or his government into suppos-
ing that we should not take action, and to the
reproach that, if they had not been so misled, the
course of things might have been different.
The German ambassador took no exception to
what I had said; indeed, he told me that it ac-
corded with what he had already given in Ber-
lin as his view of the situation.

Sir: — In addition to what passed with the Ger-
man ambassador this morning, as recorded in m.v
telegram of the 29th July* to your excellency, I
gave the ambassador a copy of Sir Rennell
Rodd's telegram of the 28th Julyf and of my re-
ply to it.t I said I had begun to doubt whether
even a complete acceptance of the Austrian de-
mands by Servia wou.d now satisfy Austria. But
there appeared, from what the Marquis di San
Giuliano had said, to lrt> a method by which, if
the powers were allowed to have any say in the
matter, they might bring about complete satisfac-
tion for Austria, if only the latter would give
them an opportunity. I could, however, make
no proposal, for the reasons I have given in my
telegram to you, and could only give what the
Italian minister for foreign affairs had said to
the German ambassador for information, as long
as it was understood that Austria would accept
no discussion with the powers over her dispute
with Servia. As to mediation between Austria
and Russia. I said it could not take the form
simply of urging Russia to stand on one side
while Austria had a free hand to go to any
length she pleased. That would not be media-
tion, it would simply be putting pressure upon
Russia in the interests of Austria. The German
ambassador said the view of the German govern-
ment was that Austria could not by force be hu-
miliated, and could not abdicate her position as
a great power. I said I entirely agreed, but it
vas not a question of humiliating Austria, it was
a question of how far Austria meant to push the
humiliation of others, There must, of course, be
390

some humiliation to Servia, but Austria might
press things so far as to involve the humiliation
of Russia.
The German ambassador said that Austria
would not take Servian territory, as to which I
observed that, by taking territory while leaving
nominal Servian independence, Austria might
turn Servia practically into a vassal state, and
this would affect the whole position of Russia
in the Balkans.
I observed that when there was danger of Eu-
ropean conflict it was impossible to say who
would not be drawn into it. Even the Nether-
lands apparently were taking precautions.
The German ambassador said emphatically that
some means must be found for preserving the
peace of Europe. I am, &c., E. GREY.

he had' ready a long memorandum which he pro-

count of the conduct of Servia toward Austria,
and an explanation of how necessary the Aus-
trian action was.
I said that I did not wish to discuss the mer-
its of the question between Austria and Servia.
The news today seemed to me very bad for the
peace of Europe. The powers were not allowed
to help in getting satisfaction for Austria, which
they might get if they were given an opportu-
nity, and European peace was at stake.
Count Mensdorff said that the war with Servia
must proceed. Austria could not continue to be
exposed to the necessity of mobilizing again and
again, as she had been obliged to do in recent
years. She had no Idea of territorial aggrandize-
ment, and all she wished was to make sure that
her interests were safeguarded.
I said that it would be quite possible, without
nominally interfering with the independence of
Servia or taking away any of her territory, to
turn her Into a sort of vassal state.
Count Mensdorff deprecated this.

to the effect that the Austrian action might

I spoke to Count Berchtold to-day in the sense
of your excellency's instructions. I brought to
his notice, in the most friendly manner, how
desirable it was to find a solution which, while
consolidating good relations between Austria-
Hungary and Russia, would give to the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy genuine guarantees for its
future relations with Sorvia.
I drew Count Berchtold's attention to all the
dangers to the peace of Europe which would be
Involved by an armed conflict between Austria-
Hungary and Servia.
Count Berchtold replied that he was well aware
uf the gravity of the situation and of the advan-
tages of a frank explanation with the St. Pe-
tersburg cabinet. He told me that, on the other
hand, the Austro-Hungarian government, who had
only decided, much against their will, pn the
energetic measures which they had taken against
Servia, could no longer recede, nor enter Into any
discussion about the terms of the Austro-Hun-
garian note.
Count Berchtold added that the crisis had be-
come so acute, and that public opinion had risen
to such a pitch of excitement, that the govern-
ment, even if they wished it, could no longer
consent to such a course. This was all the more
impossible, he said, inasmuch as the Serviar re-
ply itself furnished proof of the insincerity of
Servia's promises for the future.

The German ambassador informs me, in the
name of the chancellor, that Germany has- not
ceased to exercise a moderating influence at Vi-
enna and that she will continue to do so even
after the declaration of war. Up to this morn-
ing there has been no news that the Austrian
army has crossed the Servian frontier. I have
begged the ambassador to express my thanks to
the chancellor for the friendly tenor of this
communication. I have informed him of the mil-
itary measures taken by Russia, none of which.
I told him. were directed against Germany; I
added that neither should they be taken as ag-
giessive measures against Austria-Hungary, their
explanation being the mobilization of the greater
part of the Austro-Hungarian army.
The ambassador said that he was In favor of
direct explanations between the Austrian govern-
ment and ourselves, and I replied that I. too.
was quite willing, provided that the advice of
the German government, to which he had re-
ferred, found an echo at Vienna.
I said at the same time that we were quite
ready to accept the proposal for a conference of
the four powers, a proposal with which, appar-
ently, Germany was not in entire sympathy.
I told him that, in my opinion, the best man-
ner of turning to account the most suitable meth-
ods of finding a peaceful solution would be by
arranging for parallel discussions to be carried
on by a conference of the four powers — Germany.
France, England and Italy — and by a direct ex-
change of views between Austria-Hungary and
Russia on much the same lines as occurred dur-
ing the most critical moments of last year's
crisis.
I told the ambassador that, after the conces-
sions which had been made by Servia. it should
not be very difficult to find a compromise to set-
tle the other questions which remained outstand-
ing, provided that Austria showed some good-
will and that all the powers used their entire In-
fluence in the direction of conciliation.

sia. Both my Russian and Fronch colleagues
have spoken to him to-day. Russian ambassador
expressed the hope that it might still be possi-
ble to arrange matters, and explained that it was
impossible for Russia to do otherwise than take
an interest in the present dispute. Russia, he
said, had done what she could already at Bel-
grade to induce Servian government to meet prin-
cipal Austrian demands in a favorable spirit; if
approached in a proper manner he thought she
would probably go still further in this direction.
But she was justly offended at having been com-
pletely ignored, and she could not consent to be
excluded from the settlement. German ambassa-
dor said that if proposals were put forward which
opened any prospect of possible acceptance by
both sides he personally thought that Germany
might consent to act as mediator in concert with
the three other powers.
I gather from what Russian ambassador said
to me that he is much afraid of the effect that
any serious engagement may have upon Russian
public opinion. I gathered, however, that Rus-
sia would go a long way to meet Austrian de-
mands on Servia.

Russian ambassador hopes that Russian mobili-

is, viz.. a clear intimation that Russia must be
consulted regarding the fate of Servia. but he
does not know how the Austrian government are
taking it. He says that Russia must have an
assurance that Servia will not be crushed, but
she would understand that Austria-Hungary is
compelled to exact from Servia measures which
will secure her Slav provinces from the continu-
ance of hostile propaganda from Servian terri-

The French ambassador hears from Berlin that
the German ambassador at Vienna is instructed to

Russia had mobilized, Austria must, of course, do
the same. This, however, should not be regarded
as a threat, but merely as the adoption of mili-
tary precautions similar to those which had been
taken across the frontier. He said he had no
objection to the Russian minister for foreign af-
fairs and the Austrian ambassador at St. Peters-
burg continuing their conversations, although he
did not say that they could be resumed on the
basis of the Servian reply.
On the whole, the Russian ambassador is not
dissatisfied. He had begun to make his prepara-
tions for his departure on the strength of a ru-
mor that Austria would declare war in reply to
mobilization. He now hopes that something may
yet be done to prevent war with Austria.

French ambassador and I visited minister for
foreign affairs this morning. His excellency said
that German ambassador had told him yesterday
afternoon that German government were will-
ing to guarantee that Servian integrity would be
respected by Austria. To this he had replied
that this might be so, but nevertheless Servia
would become an Austrian vassal, just as. In
similar circumstances, Bokhara had become a
Russian vassal. There would be a revolution In
Russia if she were to tolerate such a state of
affairs.
M. Sazonof told us that absolute proof was in
possession of Russian government that Germany
was making military and naval preparations
against Russia— more particularly in the direc-
tion of the Gulf of Finland.
German ambassador had a second Interview
with minister for foreign affairs at 2 a. in., when
former completely broke down on seeing that war
was inevitable. He appealed to M. Sazonof to
make some suggestion which he could telegraph
to German government as H last hope. M. Sazo-
nof accordingly drew up and handed t~ German
ambassador a formula in French, of which follow-
ing is translation:
"If Austria, recognizing that her conflict with
Servia has assumed character of question of Eu-
ropean interest, declares herself ready to elimi-
nate from .her ultimatum points which violate
principle of sovereignty of Servia, Russia en-
gages to stop all military preparations."
Preparations for general mobilization will be
proceeded with if this proposal is rejected by
Austria, and inevitable result will be a European
war. Excitement here has reached such a pitch
that if Austria refuses to make a concession
Russia cannot hold back. and. now that she
knows that Germany is arming, she can hardly
postpone, for strategical reasons, converting par-
tial into general mobilization.

Secretary of state informs me that immediately
on receipt of Prince Lichnowsky's telegram re-
cording his last conversation with you he asked
Austro-Hungarian government whether they
would be willing to accept mediation on basis of
occupation by Austrian troops of Belgrade or
some other point and issue their conditions from
there. He has up till now received no reply, but
he fears Russian mobilization against Austria
will have increased difficulties, as Austria-Hun-
gary, who has as yet only mobilized against Ser-
via, will probably find It necessary also against
Russia. Secretary of state says if you can suc-
ceed in getting Russia to agree to above basis
for an arrangement and in persuading her in the
meantime to take no steps which might be re-
garded as an act of aggression against Austria
he still sees some chance that European peace
may be preserved.
He begged me to impress on you difficulty of
Germany's position in view of Russian mobili-
zation and military measures which he hears arc
being taken in France. Beyond recall of officers
on leave — a measure which had been officially
taken after, and not before, visit of French am-
bassador yesterday — imperial government had
done nothing special in way of military prepara-
tions. Something, however, would have soon t<>
be done, for it might be too late, and when they
mobilized they would have to mobilize on three
sides. He regretted this, as he knew France did
not desire war, but It would be a military neces-
sity.
His excellency added that telegram received
from Prince Lichnowsky last night contains mat-
ter which he had heard with regret, but not ex-
actly with surprise, and at all events he thor-
oughly appreciated frankness and loyalty with
which you had spoken.
He also to'.d me that this telegram had only
reached Berlin very late last night; had it been
received earlier chancellor would, of course, not
have spoken to me in the way he had done.

a further report, since received from St. Peters-
burg, states that the German communication had
been modified, and was now a request to be in-
formed on what conditions Russia would consent
to demobilization. The answer Is that she
agrees to do so on condition that Austria-Hun-
gary gives an assurance that she will respect the
sovereignty of Servia, and submit certain of the
demands of the Austrian note, which Servia has
not accepted, to an international discussion.
President thinks that these conditions will not
be accepted by Austria. He is convinced that
peace between the powers is in the hands of
Great Britain. If his majesty's government an-
nounced that England would come to the aid of
France in the event of a conflict between France
and Germany as a result of the present differ-
ences between Austria and Servia. there would
be no war, for Germany would at once modify
her attitude.
I explained to him how difficult It -would be
for his majesty's government to make such an
announcement, but he said that he must main-
tain that it would be in the interests of peace.
France, he said, is pacific. She does not desire
war. and all that she has done at present is to
make preparations for mobilization so as not to
be taken unawares. The French government will
keep his majesty's government informed of ev-
erything that may be done in that way. They
have reliable information that the German troops
are concentrated round Thionville and Metz ready
for war. If there were a general war on the con-
tinent it would inevitably draw England into it
for the protection of her vital interests. A dec-
laration now of her intention to support France,
whose desire it is that peace should be main-
tained, would almost certainly prevent Germany
from going to war.

Your telegram of 29th July.*
His majesty's government cannot for a moment
entertain the chancellor's proposal that they
should bind themselves to neutrality on such
terms.
What he asks us in effect Is to engage to
stand by while French colonies are taken and
France is beaten so long as Germany does not
take French territory as distinct from the colo-
nies.
From the material point of view such a pro-
posal is unacceptable, for France, without fur-
ther territory in Europe being taken from her.
could be so crushed as to lose her position as a
great power, and become subordinate to German
policy.
Altogether apart from that, it would be a dis-
grace for us to make this bargain with Germiny
at the expense of France, a disgrace from which
the good name of this country would never re-
cover.
The chancellor also in effect asks us to bar-
gain away whatever obligations or interest we
have as regards the neutrality of Belgium. We
could not entertain that bargain either.
Having said so much, it is unnecessary to ex
amine whether the prospect of a future general
neutrality agreement between England and Ger-
many offered positive advantages sufficient to
compensate us for tying our hands now. We
must preserve our full freedom to act as circum-
stances may seem to us to require in any such
unfavorable and regrettable development of the
present crisis as the chancellor contemplates.
You should speak to the chancellor in the
above sense, and add most earnestly that one
way of maintaining good relations between Eng-
land and Germany is that they should continue
to work together to preserve the peace of Europe:
if we succeed in this object, the mutual rele-
tions of Germany and England will. I believe,
be ipso facto improved and strengthened. For
that object his majesty's government will work
in that way with all sincerity and good-will.
And I will say this: If the peace of Europe
can be preserved, and the present crisis safely
passed, my own endeavor will be to promote
some arrangement to which Germany could be a
party, by which she could be assured that no
aggressive or hostile policy would be pursued
against her or her allies by France, Russia, and
ourselves, jointly or separately. I have desired
this and worked for it, as far as I could, through
the last Balkan crisis, and, Germany having a
corresponding object, our relations sensibly im-
proved. The idea has hitherto been too Utopian
to form the subject of definite proposals, but if
this present crisis, so much more acute than any
that Europe has gone through for generations, be
safely passed, I am hopeful that the relief and
reaction which will follow may make possible
some more definite rapprochement between the
powers than has been possible hitherto.

German ambassador informs me that German
government would endeavor to influence Austria,
after taking Belgrade and Servian territory in
region of frontier, to promise not to advance
further while powers endeavored to arrange that
Servia should give satisfaction sufficient to paci-
fy Austria. Territory occupied would, of course,
be evacuated when Austria was satisfied. I sug-
gested this yesterday as a possible relief to the
situation, and, if it can be obtained, I would
earnestly hope that it might be agreed to sus-
pend further military preparations on all sides.
Russian ambassador has told me of condition
laid down by M. Sazonof. as quoted in your tele-
gram of the 30th July,* and fears it cannot be
modified; but if Austrian advance were stopped
after occupation of Belgrade. I think Russian
minister for foreign affairs' formula might be
changed to read that the powers would examine
how Servia could fully satisfy Austria without
impairing Servian sovereign rights or indepeud-
ence.
If Austria, having occupied Belgrade and neigh-
boring Servian territory, declares herself ready,
in the interest of European peace, to cease her
advance and to discuss how a complete settle-
ment can be arrived at I hope that Russia would
also consent to discussion and suspension of
further military preparations, provided that other
powers did the same.

peace of Europe was never more seriously threat-
ened than it was now. He did not wish to ask
me to say directly that we would Intervene, but
ho would like me to say what we should do if
certain circumstances arose. The particular hy-
pothesis he had in mind was an aggression by
Germany on France. He gave me a paper, of
which a copy is also inclosed, showing that the
German military preparations were more ad-
vanced and more on the offensive upon the fron-
tier than anything France had yet done. He
anticipated that the aggression would take the
form of either a demand that France should
cease her preparations, or a demand that she
should engage to remain neutral If there was war
between Germany and Russia. Neither of these
things could France admit.

SIB EDWARD GREY TO M. CAMBON.
London Foreign Office, Nov. 22. 1912.
My dear Ambassador: From time to time In
recent years the French and British naval and
military experts have consulted together. It has
always been understood that such consultation
does not restrict the freedom of either govern-
ment to decide at any future time whether or
not to assist the other by armed force. We have
agreed that consu.tation between experts Is not,
and ought not to be regarded as, an engagement
that commits either government to action in a
contingency that has not arisen and may ne"ver
arise. The disposition, for instance, of the
French and British fleets respectively at the
present moment is not based upon an engage-
ment to co-operate in war.
You have, however, pointed out that, if either
government had grave reason to expect an un-
provoked attack by a third power, it might be-
come essential to know whether it could In that
event depend upon the armed assistance of the
other.
I agree that, if either government had grave
reason to expect an unprovoked attack by a
third power, or something that threatened the
general peace, it should immediately discuss
with the other whether both governments should
act together to prevent aggression and to pre-
serve peace, and. if so, what measures they
would be prepared to take in common. If these
measures involved action, the plans of the gen-
eral staffs would at once be taken into considera-
tion, and the governments would then decide
what effect should be given to them.
Yours, &e., E. GREY.

Dear Sir Edward: You reminded me in your
letter of yesterday, 22d November, that during
the last few years the military and naval au-
thorities of France and Great Britain had con-
sulted with each other from time to time; that
it had always been understood that these con-
sultations should not restrict the liberty of
either government to decide in the future whether
they should lend each other the support of their
armed forces: that, on either side, these con-
sultations between experts were not and should
not be considered as engagements binding our
governments to take action in certain eventual-
ities; that, however. I had remarked to you that,
if one or other of the two governments had
grave reasons to fear an unprovoked attack on
the part of a third power, it would become es-
sential to know whether it 'Could count on the
armed support of the other.
Your letter answers that point, and I am au-
thorized to state that, in the event of one of
our two governments having grave reasons to
fear either an attack from a third power, or
some event threatening the general peace, that
government would immediately examine with the
other the question whether both governments
should act together In order to prevent aggres-
sion or preserve peace. If so, the two govern-
ments would deliberate as to the measures
which they would be prepared to take in com-
mon. If those measures involved action the two
governments would take into immediate con-
sideration the plans of their general stiffs and
would then ciecide as to the effect to be given
to those plans.

(Translation.)
The German army had its advance posts on
our frontiers yesterday (Friday). German pa
trols twice penetrated on to our territory. Out
advance posts are withdrawn to a distance of
10 kilometers from the frontier. The local popu-
lation is protesting against being thus abandoned
to the attack of the enemy's army, but the
government wishes to make it clear to public
opinion and to the British government that in
no case will France be the aggressor. The whole
16th corps from Metz, reinforced by a part of
the Sib from Treves and Cologne, is occupying
the frontier at Metz on the Luxemburg side.
The 15th army corps from Strassburg has closed
up on the frontier. The inhabitants of Alsace-
Lorraine are prevented by the threat of being
shot from crossing the frontier. Reservists have
beeu called ba-ck to Germany by tens of thou-
sands. This is the last stage before mobiliza-
tion, whereas we have not called out a single
reservist.
As you see, Germany has done it. I would
add that all my information goes to show that
the German preparations began on Saturday,
the very day on which the Austrian note was
handed in.
These facts, added to those contained in my
telegram of yesterday, will enable you to prove
to the British government the pacific intentions
of the one party and the aggressive intentions
of the other.

I learned from the minister for foreign affairs,
who sent for me this evening, that the Austrian
government had declined to continue the direct
exchange of views with the Russian government.
But he had reason to believe that Germany was
now disposed to give more conciliatory advice to
Austria, as she seemed convinced that we should
act with France and Russia, and was most
nnxioUs to avoid issue with us.
He said he was telegraphing to the Italian
ambassador at Berlin to ask the German govern-
ment to suggest that the idea of an exchange of
views between the four powers should be re-
sumed in any form which Austria would con-
sider acceptable. It seemed to him that Ger-
many might invite Austria to state exactly the
terms which she would demand from Servla.
and give a guarantee that she would neither
deprive her of Independence nor annex territory.
It would be useless to ask for anything less
than was contained in the Austrian ultimatum,
and Germany would support no proposal that
did not imply non-success for Austria. We
might, on the other hand, ascertain from Russia
what she would accept, and, once we knew the
standpoints of these two countries, discussions
could be commenced at on-ce. There was still
time so long as Austria had received no check.
He in any ease was in favor of continuing an
exchange of views with his majesty's govern-
ment if the idea of discussions between the four
powers was impossible.

was being utilized by other powers; and if, as

now being taken by Russia against Germany
also, it would be impossible for him to remain

very serious step; he was, in fact, just on the
point of going to have an audience with the
emperor.
His excellency added that the n^ws of the ac-

ambassador at St. Petersburg has also been
Instructed that he may converse with the Rus-

should give explanations about the Austrian ul-
timatum to Servia, and discuss suggestions and
any questions directly affecting Austro-llussian

the Austrians mobilizing eight army corps, it
might be pointed out that this is r.ot too great
a number against 400,000 Servians.
The German ambassador asked me to nrge
the Russian government to show good will in
the discussions and to suspend their military
preparations.
It is with groat satisfaction that I have
learned that discussions are being resumed be-
tween Austria and Russia, and you should ex-

I hope that the conversations which are now
proceeding between Austria and Russia may
lead to a satisfactory result. The stumbling
block hitherto has been Austrian mistrust of
Servian assurances and Russian mistrust of Aus-
trian intentions with regard to the independ-
ence and integrity of Servia. It has occurred
to me that, in the event of this mistrust pre-
venting a solution being found by Vienna and
St. Petersburg, Germany might sound Vienna and
I would undertake to sound St. Petersburg,
whether it would be possible for the four dis-
interested powers to offer to Austria that they
would undertake to see that she obtained full
satisfaction of her demands on Servia, provided
that they did not impair Servian sovereignty and
the integrity of Servian territory. As your ex-
cellency is aware, Austria has already declared
her willingness to respect them. Russia might
be informed by the four powers that they would
undertake to prevent Austrian demands going
the length of impairing Servian «overeignty and
integrity. All powers would of course suspend
further * military operation or preparations.
You may sound the secretary of state about
this proposal.
I said to German ambassador this morning
that if Germany could get any reasonable pro-
posal put forward which made it clear that
Germany and Austria were striving to preserve
European peace, and that Russia and France
would be unreasonable if they rejected it. I
would support it at St. Petersburg and Paris,
and go the length of saying that if Russia and
France would not accept it his majesty's gov-
ernment would have nothing more to do with
the consequences: but. otherwise. I told Ger-

we should be drawn in.

At 7 o'clock this evening I was sent for by
minister for foreign affairs. When I arrived the
Germou ambassador was leaving his excellency.
German ambassador had informed his excellen-
cy that, in view of the fact that orders had
been given for the total mobilization of Russian
army and fleet, German government have in an
I
ultimatum which they have addressed to the
Russian government required that Russian forces
should be demobilized.
The German government will consider it neces-
sary to ordei' the total mobilization of the Ger-
man army on the Russian and French frontiers
if within twelve hours the Russian government
do not give an undertaking to comply with
German demand.
The minister for foreign affairs asks me to
communicate this to you, and inquires what, in
these circumstances, will be the attitude of
England.
German ambassador could not say when the
twelve hours terminate. He is going to call at
the ministry for foreign affairs tomorrow (Sat-
urday) at 1 p. m., in order to receive the French
government's answer as to the attitude they will
adopt in the circumstances.
He intimated the possibility of his requiring
his passports.
I am informed by the Russian ambassador
that he is not aware of any general mobiliza-
tion of the Russian forces having taken place.

(Telegraphic.) Vienna, July 31, 1914.
I am inforhied by Count Forgach, under secre-
tary of state, that although Austria was com-
pelled to respond to Russian mobilization, which
he deplored, the Austrian ambassador In Lon-
don has received instructions to inform you that
mobilization was not to be regarded as a neces-
sarily hostile act on either side. Telegrams
were being exchanged between the emperor of
Russia and the German emperor, and conver-
sations were proceeding between Austrian am-
bassador at St. Petersburg and Russian minis-
ter for foreign affairs. A general war might,
lie seriously hoped, be staved off by these ef-
forts. On my expressing my -fear that Ger-
many would mobilize, he said that Germany
must do something, in his opinion, to secure her
position. As regards Russian intervention on
beha'lf of Servla, Austria-Hungary found It dif-
ficult to recognize such a claim. I called bis
attention to the fact that during the discussion
of the Albanian frontier at the London confer-
ence of ambassadors the Russian government
had stood behind Servla. and that a compromise
between the views of Russia and Austria-Hun-
gary resulted with accepted frontier line. Al-
though he spoke in a conciliatory tone, and did
not regard the situation as desperate, I could
not get from him any suggestion for a similar
compromise in the present case. Count Forgach
is going* this afternoon to see the Russian am-
bassador, whom I have informed of the above
conversation.
The Russian ambassador has explained that
Russia has no desire to interfere unduly with
Servia; that, as compared with the late Rus-
sian minister, the present minister at Belgrade
is a man of very moderate views: and that,
as regards Austrian demands. Russia had coun-
seled Servia to yield to them as far as she
possibly could without sacrificing her Independ
ence. His excellency Is exerting himself strong-
ly in the interests of peace.

Sir:— M. Cambou referred today to a telegram
that had been shown to Sir Arthur Nicolson this
morning from the French ambassador in Berlin,
saying th;it it was the uncertainty with regard
to whether wo would intervene which was the
encouraging elemert In Berlin, and that If we
would only declare definitely on the side of
Russia and France it would decide the German
attitude in favor of peace. I said that It was
quite wrong to suppose that we had left Ger-
many tinder the impression thnt we would not
intervene. I had refused overtures to promise
that we should remain neutral. I had not only
definitely declined to say that wp would remain
neutral: I had even gone so far this morning as
to say to the German ambassador that if France
and Germany became Involved In war we should
396

be drawn Into It. That, of course, was not the
same thing as taking an engagement to France,
and I told M. Cambon of it only to show that
we had not left Germany under the impression
that we would stand aside.
M. Cambon then asked me for my reply to
what he had said yesterday.
I said that we had come to the conclusion
in the cabinet today that we could not give
any pledge at the present time. Though we
should have to put our policy before parliament.
we could not pledge parliament in advance. Up
to the present moment we did not feel, and
public opinion did not feel, that any treaties
or obligations of this country were involved.
Further developments might alter this situation
and cause the government and parliament to
take the view that intervention was justified.
The preservation of the neutrality of Belgium
might be, I would not say a decisive, but an
Important factor, in determining our attitude.
Whether we proposed to parliament to inter-
vene or not to intervene in a war, parliament
would wish to know how we stood with regard
to the neutrality of Belgium, and it might be
that I should ask both France and Germany
whether each was prepared to undertake an en-
gagement that she would not be the first to vio-
late the neutrality of Belgium. -
M. Cambon repeated the question whether we
would help France if Germany made an attack
on her.
I said I could only adhere to the answer that,
as far as things had gone at present, we could
not take any engagement.
if. Camboa urged that Germany had from
the beginning rejected proposals that might have
made for peace. It could not be to England's
inttrest that France should be crushed by Ger-
many. We should then be in a very diminished
position with regard to Germany. In 1870 we
had made a great mistake In allowing an enor-
mous increase of German strength, and we should
now be repeating the mistake. He asked me
whether I could not submit the question to the
cabinet again.
I said that the cabinet would certainly be
summoned as soon as there was some new de-
velopment, but at the present moment the only
answer I could give was that we could not
undertake any definite engagement.
I am, &c., E. GREY.

Minister for foreign affairs sent for me and
French ambassador and asked us to telegraph
to our respective governments subjoined formula
as best calculated to amalgamate proposal made
by you in your telegram of 30th July* with
formula recorded in my telegram of 30th July.t
He trusted it would meet with your approval:
Translation. — ''If Austria will agree to check
the advance of her troops on Servian territory;
if recognizing that the dispute between Austria
and Servia has assumed a character of European
interest, she will allow the great powers to look
into the matter and determine whether Servia
could satisfy the Austro-Hungarian government
without impairing her rights as a sovereign state
or her independence, Russia will undertake to
maintain her waiting attitude."
His excellency then alluded to the telegram
sent to German emperor by emperor of Russia
in reply to the former's telegram. He said that
Emperor Nicholas had begun by thanking Em-
peror William for his telegram and for the
hopes of peaceful solution which it held out.
His majesty had then proceeded to assure Em-
peror William that no intention whatever of
an aggressive character was concealed behind
Russian military preparations. So long as con-
versation with Austria continued, his imperial
majesty undertook that not a single man should
be moved across the frontier; it was, however,
of course impossible, for reasons explained, to
Stop a mobilization which was already in prog-
ress.
M. Snzonof said that undoubtedly there would
be better prospect of a peaceful solution If the
suggested conversation were to take place In
London, where the atmosphere 'was far more
favorable, and he therefore hoped that you would
see your way to agreeing to this.
His excellency ended by expressing his deep
gratitude to his majesty's government, who had
done so much to save the situation. It would
be largely due to them if war were prevented.
The emperor, the Russian government, and the
Russian people would never forget the firm at-
titude adopted by Great Britain.

Your telegram of 31st July.*
I spent an hour with secretary of state urgine
him most earnestly to accept your proposal and
make another effort to prevent terrib.e catas-
trophe of a European war.
He expressed himself very sympathetically
toward your proposal, and appreciated your con-
tinued efforts to maintain peace, but said it was
impossible for the imperial government to con-
sider any proposal until they had received an
answer from Russia to their' communication of
today; this communication, which he admitted
had the form of an ultimatum, being that, un-
less Russia could inform the imperial govern-
ment within twelve hours that she would im-
mediately countermand her mobilization against
Germany and Austria, Germany would be obliged
on her side to mobilize at once.
I asked his excellency why they had made
their demand even more difficult for Russia to
accept by asking them to demobilize in south as
well. He replied that it was in order to pre-
vent Russia from saying all her mobilization
was only directed against Austria.
His excellency said that if the answer from
Russia was satisfactory he thought personally
that your proposal merited favorable considera-
tion, and in any case he would lay it before
the emperor and chancellor, but he repeated that
it was no use discussing it until the Russian
government had sent in their answer to the
German demand.
He again assured me that both the Emperor
William, at the request of the emperor of Rus-
sia, and the German foreign office had even up
till last night been urging Austria to show will-
ingness to continue discussions — and telegraphic
and telephonic communications from Vienna had
been of a promising nature — but Russia's mobili-
zation had spoiled everything.

me that he must consult the emperor and the

gathered from what he said that he thought
any reply they might give could not but disclose
a certain amount of their plan of campaign in
the event of war ensuing, and he was therefore
very doubtful whether they would return any
answer at all. His excellency, nevertheless,
took note of your request.
It appears from what he said that German
government consider that certain hostile acts
have already been committed by Belgium. As
an instance of this, he alleged that a consign-
ment of corn for Germany had been placed un-
der an embargo already.
I hope to see his excellency tomorrow again

of obtaining a definite answer seems to me re-

Sir: — I told the German ambassador today that
the reply* of the German government with re-
gard to the neutrality of Belgium was a mat-
ter of very great regret, because the neutrality
of ptlgium affected feeling in this country. If
Germany could see her way to give the same
assurance as that which had been given by
France It would materially contribute to relieve
anxiety and tension here. On the other hand,
if there were a violation of the neutrality of
Belgium by one combatant while the other re-
spected it, it would be extremely difficult to
restrain public feeling In this country. I said
that we had been discussing this question at
a cabinet meeting, and as I was authorized to
tell him this I gave him a memorandum >f it.
He asked me whether. If Germany gave a
promise not to violate Beljrlan neutrality, we
would engage to remain neutral.
I replied that I could not say that: our hands
were still free, and we were considering what
our attitude should be. All I could say was that
our attitude would be determined largely by
public opinion here, and that neutrality of Bel-
slum would appeal very strongly to public opin-
ion here. I did not think that we could give a
promise of neutrality on that condition alone.
The ambassador pressed me as to whether I
oould not formulate conditions on which we
would remain neutral. He even suggested that
the integrity of France and her colonies might
be guaranteed.
I said that I 'felt obliged to refuse definitely
any promise to remain neutral on similar terms,
and 1 could only say that we must keep our
hands free. I am, &c.. E. GREY.

I have had conversation with the political

foreign affairs this morning, that the French
government failed to comprehend the reason
which prompted his communication of yester-
day evening. It was pointed out to his excel-
lency that general mobilization in Russia had
not been ordered until after Austria had decreed
a general mobilization and that the Russian gov-
ernment .were ready to demobilize if all jiowors
did likewise. It seemed strange to the French
government that in view of this and of the fact
that Hnssia and Austria were ready to converse,
the German government should have at that
moment presented an ultimatum at St. Peters-
burg requiring immediate demobilization by
Russia. There were no differences at issue Le-
twten France and Germany, but the German
ambassador had made a menacin? communication
to the French government and had requested an
answer the next day, intimating that he would
have to break off relations and leave Paris if
the reply were not satisfactory. The ambassa-
dor was informed that the French government
considered that this was an extraordinary pro-
ceeding.
The German ambassador, who is to see the

said nothing about demanding his passports,

German government that, though the situation
has been changed by the mobilization of Russia,
they would in fall appreciation of the efforts
of "England for the preservation of peace be
ready to consider favorably my proposal for
mediation between Austria and Servia. The
understanding of this acceptance would naturally
be that the Austrian military action against
Servia would continue for the present, and that
the British government would urge upon Russian
government to stop the mobilization of troops
directed against Austria, in which case Austria
would naturally cancel those defensive military
countermeasures in Galicia. which have been
forced upon Austria by Russian mobilization.
You should inform minister for foreign affairs
and sav that if. in the consideration of the ac-

agree to stop mobilization, it appears still to
be possible to preserve peace. Presumably the

a telegram which the Austro-Hungariau minister
for foreign affairs had sent to the Austrian am-

lency was given instructions to assure the French
minister for foreign affairs that there was no in-
tention in the minds of the Austrp-Huugarian
government to impair the sovereign rights of Ser-
via or to obtain territorial aggrandizement. The
ambassador added that he was further instructed
to inform the French minister for foreign affairs
that there was no truth in the report which had

Count Mensdorff called again later at the for-

Your telegram of today.*
I have cou'municated the substance of the
above telegram to the secretary of state for
foreign affairs, and spent a long time arguing
with him that the chief dispute was between
Austria and Russia, and that Germany was only
drawn in as Austria's ally. If, therefore. Austria
and Russia were, as was evident, ready to dis-
cuss matters and Germany did not desire war
"on her own account, it seemed to me only logical
that Germany should hold her hand and con-
tinue to work for a peaceful settlement. Secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs said that Aus-
tria's readiness to discuss was the result of
German influence at Vienna, and, had not Russia
mobilized against Germany, all would have been
well. But Russia, by abstaining from answering
Germany's demand that she should demobilize,
had caused Germany to mobilize also. Russia
had said that her mobilization did not necessarily
imply war, and that she could perfectly well
remain mobilized for months without making
war. This was not the case with Germany. She
had tho speed and Russia had the numbers, and
the safety of the 'German empire forbade that
Germany should allow Russia time to bring up
masses of trcops from all parts of her wide do-
minions. The situation now was that, though
the imperial government had allowed her several
hours beyond the specified time, 'Russia had sent
no answer. Germany had, therefore, ordered
mobilization, and the German representative at
St. Petersburg had been instructed within a
certain time to inform the Russian government
that th;} imperial government must regard their
refusal to answer as creating a state of war.

The emperor of Russia read his telegram to
tho German emperor to the German ambassador
at the audience given to his excellency yester-
day. No progress whatever was made.
In the evening M. Sazonof had an interview
with the Austrian ambassador, who. not being
definitely instructed by his government, did his
best to deflect the conversation toward a general
discussion of the relations between Austria-
Hungary and Russia instead of keeping to the
question of Servia. In reply the minister for
foreign affairs expressed his desire that these
relations should remain friendly, and said that,
taken in general, tliey were perfectly satisfac-
tory; but the real question which they had to
w>lve at this moment was whether Austria was
to crush Servia and to reduce her to the status
of a vassal, or whether she was to leave Servia
a free and Independent state. In these circum-
stances, while the Servian question was unsolved,
the abstract discussion of the relations between
Austria-Hungary and Russia was a waste of
time. The only place where a successful dis-
cussion of this question could be expected was
London, and any such discussion was being made
impossible by the action of Austria-Hungary in
subjecting Belgrade, a virtually unfortified town,
to bombardment.
M. Sazonof informed the French ambassador
and myself this morning of his conversation with
the Austrian ambassador. He went on to say
that during the Balkan crisis he had made it
clear to the Austrian government that war with
Russia must inevitably follow an Austrian at-
tack on Servia. It was clear that Austrian
domination of Servia was as intolerable for Rus-
sia as the dependence of the Netherlands on
Germany would be to Great Britain. It was,
in, fact, for Russia a question of lite and death.
The policy of Austria had throughout been both
tortuous and immoral, and she thought that she
could treat Russia with defiance, secure in the
support of her German ally. Similarly the poli-
cy of Germany had been an equivocal and dou-
ble-faced policy, and it mattered little whether
the German government knew or did not know
the terms of the Austrian ultimatum; what
mattered was that her intervention with the
Austrian government had been postponed until
the moment had passed when its influence wou'.d
have been • felt. Germany was unfortunate in
her representatives in Vienna and St. Peters-
burg; the former was a violent Russophobe who
had urged Austria on, the latter had reported to
his government that Russia would never go to
war. M. Sazonof was completely weary of the
ceaseless endeavors he had made to avoid a war.
No suggestion held out to him had been refused.
He had accepted the proposal for a conference
of four, for mediation by Great Britain and
Italy, for direct conversation between Austria
and Russia; but Germany and Austria-Hungar.v
had either rendered these attempts for peace
ineffective by evasive replies or had refused them
altogether. The action of the Austro-Hungarian
government and the German preparations had
forced the Russian government to order mobiliza-
tion, and the mobilization of Germany had
created a desperate situation.
M. Sazonof added that the formula, of which
the text is contained in my telegram of 31st
July,* had been forwarded by the Russian gov-
ernment to Vienna, and he would adhere to it
if you could obtain its acceptance before the
frontier was crossed by German troops. In no
c'ase would Russia begin hostilities first.
I now see no possibility of a general war be-
ing avoided unless the agreement of France and
Germany can be obtained to keep their armies
mobilized on thtdr own sides of the frontier,
as Russia has expressed her readiness to do,
pending a last attempt to reach a settlement
of the present crisis.

I am to be received tomorrow by minister for
foreign affairs. This afternoon he is to see the
French and Russian ambassadors. I have just
been informed by the Russian ambassador of
German ultimatum requiring that Russia should
demobilize within twelve hours. On being asked
by the Russian minister for foreign affairs
whether the inevitable refusal of Russia to yield
to this curt summons meant war. the German
ambassador replied that Germany would be
forced to mobilize if Russia refused. Russian
ambassador at Vienna thinks that war is almost
inevitable, and that mobilization is too expensive
to be kept for long. Germany will attack Russia
at once. He says that the so-called mobiliza-
tion of Russia amounted to nothing more than
that Russia had taken military measures cor-
responding to those taken by Germany. There
seems to be even greater tension between Ger-
many and Russia than there is between Austria
and Russia. Russia would, according to tin-
Russian ambassador, be satisfied even now with
assurance respecting Servian . integrity and in
dependence. He says that Russia had no inten
tion to attack Austria. He is going again toda.v
to point out to the minister for foreign affair*

that most terriflc consequences must ensue from
refusal to make this slight concession. This
time Russia would fight to the last extremity.
I agree with his excellency that the German
ambassador at Vienna desired war from the first,
and that his strong personal bias probably col-
ored his action here. The Russian ambassador
is convinced that the German government also
desired war from the first.
It is the intention of the French ambassador
to speak earnestly to the minister for foreign
affairs today on the extreme danger of the situ-
ation, and to ask whether proposals to serve
as a basis of mediation from any quarter are
being considered. There is great anxiety to
know what England will do. I fear that nothing
can alter the determination of Austro-Hungarian
government to proceed on their present course
if they have made up their mind with the
approval of Germany.

I have the honor to bring to your excellency's
notice the following facts:
On Sunday, the 2d August, very early, the
German troops, according to the information
which has up to now reached the grand ducal
government, penetrated into Luxemburg terrltor.v
by the bridges of Wasserbillig and Remich, and
proceeded particularly toward the south and in
the direction of Luxemburg, the capital of the
grand duchy. A certain number of armored
trains with troops and ammunition have been
sent along the railway line from Wasserbillig
to Luxemburg, where their arrival is expected.
These occurrences constitute acts which are
manifestly contrary to the neutrality of the
frand duchy as guaranteed by the treaty of
ondon of 1867. The Luxemburg government
have not failed to address an energetic protest
against this aggression to the representatives of
his majesty the German emperor at Luxemburg.
An identical protest will be sent by telegraph
to the secretary of state for foreign affairs at
Berlin.

After the cabinet this morning I gave M..
Cambon the following memorandum:
"I am authorized to give an assurance that
If the German fleet comes into the channel or
through the North Sea to undertake hostile op-
erations against French coasts or shipping, the
British fleet will give all the protection in its
power.
"This assurance is of course subject to the
policy of his majesty's government receiving
the support of parliament, and niust not be
taken as binding his majesty's government to
take any action until the above contingency of
action by the German fleet takes place."
I pointed out that we had very large questions
and most difficult issues to consider, and that
government felt that they could not bind them-
selves to declare war upon Germany necessarily
if war broke out between France and Germany
tomorrow, but it was essential to the French
government, whose fleet had long been 'Concen-
trated in the Mediterranean, to know how to
make their dispositions \vith their north coast
entirely undefended. We therefore thought it
necessary to give them this assurance. It did
not bind us to go to war with Germany unless
the German fleet took the action indicated, but it
did give a security to France that would enable
her to settle the disposition of her own Medi-
terranean fleet.
M. Cambon asked me about the violation of
Luxemburg I told him the doctrine on that
point laid down by Lord Derby and Lord Clar-
endon in 1867. He asked me what we should
say about the violation of the neutrality of Bel-
gium. J said that was a much more important
matter; we were considering what statement
we should make in parliament tomorrow— in ef-
fect, whether we should declare violation of
Belgian neutrality to be a casus belli. I told
him what had. been said to the German ambas-
sador on this point.

of armed conflict with Belgium, Germany will,
under no pretense whatever, annex Belgian terri-

by fact that we solemnly pledged our word to
Holland strictly to respect her neutrality. It
is obvious that we could not profitably annex
Belgian territory without making at the same
time territorial acquisitions at expense of Hol-

London, Aug. 8, 1914.
Sir: In accordance with the instructions con-
tained in your telegram of the 4th instant* I
called upon the secretary of state that afternoon
and inquired in the name of his majesty's gov-
ernment, whether the imperial government would
refrain from violating Belgian neutrality. Herr
von Jagow at once replied that he was sorry to
say that his answer must be "No." as. in con-
sequence of the German troops having crossed
the frontier that morning. Belgian neutrality had
been already violated. Herr von Jagow again
402
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOB 1915.
went into the reasons why the Imperial govern-
ment had been obliged to take this step, namely,
that they had to advance Into France by the
quickest and easiest way, so as to be able to get
well ahead with their operations and endeavour
to strike some decisive blow as early as possible.
It was a matter of life and death for them, as
if they had gone by the more southern route they
could not have hoped. In view of the paucity of
roads and the strength of the fortresses, to have
got through without formidable opposition en-
tailing great loss of time. This loss of time
would have meant time gained by the Russians
for bringing up their troops to the German
frontier. Rapidity of action was the great Ger-
man asset, while that of Russia was au inex-
haustible supply of troops. I pointed out to Herr
von Jagow that this fait accompli of the viola-
tion of the Belgian frontier rendered, as he
would readily understand, the situation exceed-
ing grave, and 1 asked him whether there was
not still time to draw back and avoid possible
consequences, which both he and I would de-
plore. He replied that, for the reasons he had
given me, it was now impossible for them to
draw back.
During the afternoon I received your further
telegram of the same datet and, in compliance
with the instructions therein contained. I again
proceeded to the imperial foreign office and in-
formed the secretary of state that unless the im-
perial government could give the assurance by 12
o'clock that night that they would proceed no
further with their violation of the Belgian fron-
tier and stop their advance. I had been instruct-
ed to demand my passports and inform the im-
perial government that his majesty's government
would have to take all steps in their power to
uphold the neutrality of Belgium and the ob-
servance of a treaty to which Germany was as
much a party as themselves.
Herr von Jagow replied that to his great re-
gret he could give no other answer than that
which he had given me earlier in the day, name-
ly, that the safety of the empire rendered it ab-
solutely necessary that the imperial troops should
advance through Belgium. I gave his excellency
a written summary of your telegram and, point-
ing out that you had mentioned 12 o'clock as the
time when his majesty's government would ex-
pect an answer, asked him whether, in view of
the terrible consequences which would necessarily
ensue, it were not possible even at the last mo-
ment that their answer should be reconsidered.
He replied that if the time given were even
twenty-four hours or more, his answer must be
the same. I said that in that case I should have
to demand my passports. This interview took
place at about 7 o'clock. In a short conversation
which ensued Herr von Jagow expressed his poign-
ant regret at the crumbling of his entire policy
and that of the chancellor, which had been to
make friends with Great Britain and then,
through Great Britain, to get closer to France.
I said that this sudden end to my work in Ber-
lin was to me also a matter of deep regret and
disappointment, but that he must understand
that under the circumstances and in view of
our engagements, his majesty's government could
not possibly have acted otherwise than they had
done.
I then said that I should like to go and see
the chancellor, as it might be. perhaps, the last
time I should have an opportunity of seeing him.
He begged me to do so. I found the chancellor
very agitated. His excellency at once began a
harangue which lasted for about 20 minutes. He
said that the step taken by his majesty's gov-
ernment was terrible to a degree; just for a word
— "neutrality." a word which in war time had so
often been disregarded — just for a scrap of pa-
per Great Britain was going to make war on a
kindred nation who desired nothing better than
to be friends with her. All his efforts in that
direction had been rendered useless by this last
terrible step, and the policy to which, as I knew,
he hat' devoted himself since his accession to of-
fice had tumbled down like a house of cards.
What we bad done was unthinkable: It was like
striking a man from behind while he was fight-
Jusf for bis life against two assailants, He held
Great Britain responsible for all the terrible
events that might happen. I protested strongly
against that statement, and said that. In the
same way as he and Herr von Jagow wished me
to understand that for strategical reasons it was
a matter of life and death to Germany to ad-
vance through Belgium and violate the letter's
neutrality, so I would wish him to understand
that it was, so to speak, a matter of "life and
death" for the honour of Great Britain that she
should keep her solemn engagement to do her
utmost to defend Belgium's neutrality if at-
tacked. That solemn compact simply had to be
kept, or what confidence could any one have in
engagements given by 'Great Britain in the fu-
ture? The chancellor said. "But at what price
will that compact have been kept? Has the Brit-
ish government thought of that?" I hinted to
his excellency as plainly as I could that fear of
consequences could hardly be regarded as an ex-
cuse for breaking solemn engagements, but his
excellency was so excited, so evidently overcome
by the news of our action, and so little disposed
to hear reason, that 1 refrained from adding fuel
to the flame by further argument. As I was
leaving he said that the blow of Great Britaiu
joining Germany's enemies was all the greater
that almost up to the last moment he and his
government had been working with us and sup-
porting our efforts to maintain pence between
Austria and Russia. I said that this was part of
the tragedy which saw the two nations fall
apart just at the moment when the relations be-
tween them had been more friendly and cordial
than they had been for years. Unfortunately,
notwithstanding our efforts to maintain peace
between Russia and Austria, the war had spread
and had brought us face to face with a situa-
tion which, if we held to our engagements, we
could not possibly avoid, and which unfortunately
entailed our separation from our late fellow
workers. He would readily understand that no
one regretted- this more that I.
After this somewhat painful interview I re-
turned to the embassy and drew up a telegraphic
report of what had passed. This telegram was
handed in at the central telegraph office a lit-
tle before 9 p. m. It was accepted by that of-
fice, but apparently never dispatched.!
At about 9:30 p. m. Herr von Zimmerman, 'the
under secretary of state, came to see me. After ex-
pressing his (ieep regret that the very friendly
official and personal relations between us were
about to cease. Jie asked me casually whether H
demand for passports was equivalent to a decla-
ration of iwar. I said that such an authority on
international law as he was known to be must
know as well or better than I what was usual in
such cases. I added that there were many cases
where diplomatic relations had been broken off
and. nevertheless, war had not ensued: but that
in this case he would have seen from my instruc-
tions, of which I have given Herr von Jagow a
written summary, that his majesty's government
expected an answer to a definite question by 12
o'clock that night and that in default of a sat-
isfactory answer they would be forced to take
such steps as their engagements required. Herr
Zimmerman said that that was. in fact, a dec-
laration of war. as the imperial government could
not possibly give the assurance required either
that night or any other night.
In the meantime, after Herr Zimmerman left
me, a flying sheet, issued by the "Berliner Tage-
blatt." was circulated stating that Great Britain
had declared war against Germany. The imme-
diate result of this news was the assemblage of
an exceedingly excited and unruly mob before his
majesty's embassy. The small force of police
which had been sent to guard the embassy was
soon overpowered, and the attitude of the mob
became more threatening. We took no notice of
this demonstration as long as it was confined to
noise, but when the crash of glass and the land-
ing of cobblestones into the drawing room, where
we were all sitting, warned us that the situation
was getting unpleasant, I telephoned to the for-
eign ofHce an account of what was happening.
Herr von Jagow at once Informed the chief of
police, and an adequate force of mounted police,

403
street. From that moment on we were well
guarded, and no more direct unpleasantness oc-
curred.
After order had been restored Herr von Jagow
came to see me and expressed his most heartfelt
regrets at what had occurred. He said that the
behaviour of his countrymen had made him feel
more ashamed than he had words to express. It
was an indelible stain on the reputation of Ber-
lin. He said that the flying sheet circulated in
the streets had not been authorized by the gov-
ernment: In fact, the chancellor had asked him
by telephone whether he thought that such a
statement should be issued, and he had replied,
"Certainly not, until the morning." It was in
consequence of his decision to that effect that
only a small force of police had been sent to the
neighbourhood of the embassy, as he had thought
that the presence of a large force would inevi-
tably attract attention and perhaps lead to dis-
turbances. It was the "pestilential 'Tageblatt,' "
which had somehow got hold of the news, that
had upset his calculations. He had heard ru-
mours that the mob had been excited to violence
by gestures made and missiles thrown from the
embassy, but that he felt sure that that was not
true (I was able soon to assure him that the re-
port had no foundation whatever), and even If It
was. it was no excuse for the disgraceful scenes
that had taken place. He feared that I would
take home with me a sorry impression of Berlin
manners In moments of excitement. In fact, no
apology could have been more full and complete.
On the following morning, the 5th August, the
emperor sent one of his majesty's aides-de-camp
to me with the following message:
"The emperor has charged me to express to
your excellency his regret for the occurrences of
last night, but to tell you at the same time that
you will gather from those occurrences an idea
of the feelings of his people respecting the ac-
tion of Great Britain in joining with other na-
tions against her old allies of Waterloo. His
majesty also begs that you will tell the king that
he has been proud of the titles of British field
marshal and British admiral, but that in conse-
quence of what has occurred he must now at
once divest himself of those titles."
I would add that the above message lost none
of Its acerbity by the manner of its delivery.
On the other hand. I should like to state that
I received all through this trying time nothing
but courtesy at the hands of Herr von Jagow and
the officials of the imperial foreign office. At
about 11 o'clock on the same morning Count Wed-
el handed mo my passports — which I had earlier
hi the day demanded in writing— and told me
that he had been instructed to confer with me
as to the route which I should follow for my re-
turn to England. He said that he had under-
stood that I preferred the route via the Hook of
Holland to that via Copenhagen: they had there-
fore arranged that I should go by the former
route, only I should have to wait till the
following morning. I agreed to this, and he said
that I might be quite assured that there would
be no repetition of the disgraceful scenes of the
preceding night, as full precautions would be-
taken. He added that they were doing all in
their power to have a restaurant car attached to
the train, but it was rather a difficult matter.
He also brought me a charming letter from
Herr von Jagow couched in the most friendlv
terms. The day was passed in packing up such
articles as time allowed.
The night passed quietly without any incident.
In the morning a strong force of police was
posted along the usual route to the I>ehrter sta-
tion, while the embassy was smuggled away in
taxicabs to the station by side streets. We there
suffered no molestation whatever, and avoided
the treatment meted out by the crowd to my
Russian and French colleagues. Count Wedol
met us at the station to say good-bye on behalf
of Herr von Jagow and to see that all the ar-
rangements ordered for our comfort had been
properly carried out. A retired colonel of the
guards accompanied the train to the Dutch fron-
tier, and was exceedingly kind in his efforts to
prevent the great crowds which thronged the
platforms at eyery station where we stopped
from insulting us; but beyond the yelling of
patriotic songs and a few jeers and insulting
gestures we had really nothing to complain of
during our tedious journey to the Dutch frontier.
Before closing this long account of our last
days in Berlin I should like to place on record
and bring to your notice the quite admirable be-
haviour of my staff under the most trying cir-
cumstances possible. One and all. they worked
night and day with scarcely any rest, and I can-
not praise too highly the cheerful zeal with which
counselor, naval and military attaches, secre-
taries, and the two young attaches buckled to
their work and kept their nerve with often a
yelling mob outside and inside hundreds of Brit-
ish subjects clamouring for advice and assistance.
I was proud to have such a staff to work with,
and feel most grateful to them all for the inval-
uable assistance and support, often exposing
them to considerable personal risk, which they
so readily and cheerfully gave to me.
I should also like to mention the great assistance
rendered to us all by my American colleague.
Mr. Gerard, and his staff. Undeterred by the
hooting and hisses with which he was often
greeted by the mob' on entering and leaving the
embassy, his excellency came repeatedly to see
me to ask how he could help us and to make ar-
rangements for the safety of stranded British
subjects. He extricated many of these from ex-
tremely difficult situations at some personal risk
to himself, and his calmness and savoir-faire and
his firmness in dealing with the imperial authori-
ties gave full assurance that the protection of
British subjects and interests could not have
been left in more efficient and able hands. '

NO. 161. SIB M. DH BTINSEN TO SIBt EDWARD GREY.
London, Sept. 1. 1914.
Sir: — The rapidity of the march of events dur-
ing the days which led up to the outbreak of the
European war made It difficult, at the time, to
do more than record their progress by telegraph.
I propose now to add a few comments.
The delivery at Belgrade on the 23d July of
the Austrian note to Servia was preceded by n
period of absolute silence at the Ballplatz. Ex-
cept Herr von Tschirscky f German ambassador
at Vienna], who must have been aware of the
tenour, if not of the actual words of the note,
none of my colleagues were allowed to see
through the veil. On the 22d and 23d July. M.
Dumaine, French ambassador, had long inter-
views with Baron Macchio, one of the under sec-
retaries of state for foreign affairs, by whom he
was left under the impression that the words of
warning he had been instructed to speak to the
Austro-Hungarian government had not been un-
availing, and that the note which was being drawn
up would be found to contain nothing with which a
self-respecting state need hesitate to comply. At
the second of these interviews he was not even
informed that the note was at that very moment
being nresented at Belgrade, or that It would be
published in Vienna on the following morning.
Count Forgach, the other under secretary of state,
had indeed been good enough to confide to me on
the same day the true character of the note, and
the fact of its presentation about the time we
were speaking.
So little had the Russian ambassador been
made aware of what was preparing that he ac-
tually left Vienna on a fortnight's leave of ab-
sence about the 20th July. He had only been ab-
sent a few days when events compelled him to
return. It might have been supposed that Duke
Avarna, ambassador of the allied Italian king-
dom, which was bound to be so closely affected
by fresh complications in the Balkans, would
have been taken fully into the confidence of
Count Berchtold [ Austro-Hungarian minister for
foreign affairs] during this critical time. In
point of fact his excellency was left completely
In the dark. As for myself, no indication vns
given me by Count Berchtold of the impending
storm, and it was from a private source that I
received on the 15th July the forecast of what
was about to happen which I telegraphed to you
404
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
the following day. It Is true that during all this
time the "Neue Freie Presse" and other leading
Viennese newspapers were using language which
pointed unmistakably to war with Servia. The
official "Fremdenblatt," however, was more cau-
tious, and till the note was published, the pre-
vailing opinion among my colleagues was that
Austria would shrink from courses calculated to
involve her in grave European complications.
On the 24th July the note was published in the
newspapers. By common consent it was at once
styled an ultimatum. Its integral acceptance bv
.Servia was neither expected nor desired, and
when, on the following afternoon, it was at first
rumoured in Vienna that it had been uncondition-
ally accepted, there was a moment of keen dis-
appointment. The mistake was quickly corrected,
and as soon as it was known later in the eve-
ning that the Servian reply had been rejected and
that Baron Giesl TAustro-Hungarian minister at
Belgrade] had broken off relations at Belgrade,
Vienna burst Into frenzy of delight, vast crowds
parading the streets and singing patriotic songs
till the small hours of the morning.
The demonstrations -were perfectly orderly, con-
sisting for the most part of organised proces-
sions through the principal streets ending up at
the ministry of war. One or two attempts to
make hostile manifestations against the Russian
embassy were frustrated by the strong guard of
police which held the approaches to the principal:
embassies during those days. The demeanour of
the people at Vienna and, as I was informed, in
many other principal cities of the monarchy,
showed plainly the popularity of the idea of war
with Servia, and there can be no doubt that the
small body of Austrian and Hungarian statesmen
by whom this momentous step was adopted
gauged rightly the sense, and it may even be
said the determination, of the people, except pre-
sumably in portions of the provinces inhabited
by the Slav races. There had been much disap-
pointment in many quarters at the avoidance of
war with Servia during the annexation crisis in
1908 and again in connection with the recent Bal-
kan war. Count BerchtoU's peace policy had met
with little sympathy in the delegation. Now the
Hood-gates were opened, and the entire people
and press clamoured impatiently for immediate
and condign punishment of the hated Servian
race. The country certainly believed that it had
before it only the alternative of subduing Servia
or of submitting sooner or later to mutilation
at her hands. But a peaceful solution should
first have been attempted. Few seemed to re-
flect that the forcible intervention of a great
power in the Balkans must inevitably call other
great powers into the field. So just was the
cause of Austria held to be, that it seemed to
her people inconceivable that any country should
place itself in her path, or that questions of
mere policy or prestige should be regarded any-
where as superseding the necessity which had
arisen to exact summary vengeance for the crime
of Serajevo. The conviction had been expressed
to me by the German ambassador on the 24th
July that Russia would stand aside. This feel-
ing, which was also held at the Ballplatz. in-
fluenced no doubt the course of events, and it is
deplorable that no effort should have been made
to secure by means of diplomatic negotiations the
acquiescence of Russia and Europe as a whole in
some peaceful compromise of the Servian ques-
tion by which Austrian foars of Servian aggres-
sion and intrigue might have been removed for
the future. Instead of adopting this course the
Austro-Hungarian government resolved upon war.
The inevitable consequence ensued. Russia re-
plied to a partial Austrian mobilization and dec-
laration of war against Servia by a partial Rus-
sian mobilization against Austria. Austria met
this move by completing her own mobilization,
and Russia again responded with results which
have passed into history. The fate of the pro-
posals put forward by his majesty's government
for the preservation of peace is recorded in the
White Paper on the European Crisis. On the
28th July I saw Count Berchtold and urged as
strongly as I could that the scheme of mediation
mentioned in your speech in the house of com-
mons on the previous day should be accepted as
offering an honourable and peaceful settlement of
the question at issue. His excellency himself
read to me a telegraphic report of the speech,
but added that matters had gone too far; Aus-
tria was that day declaring war on Servia. and
she could never accept the conference which you
had suggested should take place between the less
interebted powers on the basis of the Servian re-
ply. This was a matter which must be settled
directly between the two parties immediately
concerned. I said his majesty's government would
hear with regret that hostilities could not be ar-
rested, as you feared they would lead to Euro-
pean complications. I disclaimed any British
lack of sympathy with Austria in the matter of
her legitimate grievances against Servia, and
pointed out that whereas Austria seemed to be
making these the starting point of her policy,
his majesty's government were bound to look at
the question primarily from the point of view of
the maintenance of the peace of Europe. In this
way the two countries might easily drift apart.
His excellency said that he too was keeping
the European aspect of the question in sight. He
thought, however, that Russia would have no
right to intervene after receiving his assurance
that Austria sought no territorial aggrandise-
ment. His excellency remarked to me in the
course of his conversation that, though he had
been glad to co-operate towards bringing about
the settlement which had resulted from the am-
bassadorial conferences in London during the Bal-
kan crisis, he had never had much belief in the
permanency of that settlement, which was neces-
sarily of a highly artificial character, inasmuch
as the interests which it sought to harmonise
were in themselves profoundly divergent. His
excellency maintained a most friendly demeanour
throughout the interview, but left no doubt in my
mind as to the determination of the Austro-Hun-
garian government to proceed with the invasion
of Servia.
The German government claim to have perse
vered to the end in the endeavour to support at
Vienna your successive proposals In the interest
of peace. Herr von Tschirscky abstained from
inviting my co-operation or that of the French
and Russian ambassadors in carrying out his in-
structions to that effect, and I had no means of
knowing what response he was receiving from the
Austro-Hungarlan government. I was, however,
kept fully informed by M. Schebeko. the Rus-
sian ambassador, of his own direct negotiations
with Count Berchtold. M. Schebeko endeavoured
on the 28th July to persuade the Austro-Hunga-
rian government to furnish count Szapary FAus-
tro-Hungarian ambassador at St. Petersburg!
with full powers to continue at St. Petersburg
the hopeful conversations which had there been
taking place between the latter and M. Sazonof
[Russian minister for foreign affairsl. Count
Berchtold refused at the time, but two days later
(30th July), though in the meantime Russia had
partially mobilised against Austria, he received
M. Schebeko again, in a perfectly friendly man-
ner, and" gave his consent to the continuance of
the conversations at St. Petersburg. From now
onwards the tension between Russia and Ger-
many was much greater than between Russia and
Austria. As between the latter an arrangement
seemed almost in sight, and on the 1st August
I was informed by M. Schebeko that Count Sza-
pary had at last conceded the main point at is-
sue by announcing to M. iSazonof that Austria
would consent to submit to mediation the points
in the note to Servia which seemed Incompati-
ble with the maintenance of Servian independ-
ence. M. Sazonof. M. Schebeko added, had ac-
cepted this proposal on condition that Austria
would refrain from the actual invasion of Servia.
Austria, in fact, had finally yielded, and that she
herself had at this point good hopes of a peace-
ful issue is shown by the communication nride
to you on the 1st August by Count Mensdorflt
f Austro-Hungarlan ambassador in London!, to
the effect that Austria had neither "banged the
door" on compromise nor cut off the conversa-
tions [see No. 1371. M. Schebeko f Russian am-
bassador in Vienna! to the end was working hard
for peace. He was holding the most conciliatory
language to Count Berchtold, and be Informed

me that the latter, as well as Count Forgach
[Austro-Huugarian under secretary of state for
foreign affairs], had responded in the same spir-
it. Certainly It was too much for Russia to ex-
pect that Austria would hold back her armies.
out this matter could probably have been settled
by negotiation, and M. Schebeko repeatedly told
me he was prepared to accept any reasonable
compromise.
Unfortunately these conversations at St. Pe-
tersburg and Vienna were cut short by the trans-
fer of the dispute to the more dangerous ground
of a direct conflict between Germany and Russia.
Germany intervened on the 31st July by means of
her double ultimatums to St. Petersburg and
Paris. The ultimatums were of a kind to which
only one answer is possible, and Germany de-
clared war on Russia on the 1st August, and on
France on the 3d August. A few days' delay
might In all probability have saved Europe from
one of the greatest calamities In history.
Russia still abstained from attacking Austria,
and M. Schebeko had been instructed to remain
at his post till war should actually be declared
against her by the Austro-Hungarian government.
This only happened on the 6th August, when
Count Berchtold Informed the foreign missions at
Vienna that "the Austro-Hungarian ambassador
at St. Petersburg had been instructed to notify
the Russian government that, in view of the men-
acing attitude of Russia in the Austro-Servian
conflict and the fact that Russia had commenced
hostilities against Germany, Austria-Hungary
considered herself also at war with Russia."
M. Schebeko left quietly in a special train
provided by the Austro-Hungarian government on
the 7th August. He had urgently requested to
be conveyed to the Roumanian frontier, so that
he might be able to proceed to his own country,
but was taken instead to the Swiss frontier, and
ten days later I found him at Berne.
M. Dumaine, French ambassador, stayed on
till the 12th August. On the previous day he
had been instructed to demand his passport on
the ground that Austrian troops were being em-
ployed against France. This point was not fully
cleared up when I left Vienna. On the 9th
August M. Dumaine had received from Count
Berchtold the categorical declaration that no
Austrian troops were being moved to Alsace.
The next day this statement was supplemented
by a further one, in writing, giving Count Berch-
told's assurance that not only had no Austrian
troops been moved actually to the French fron-
tier, but that none were moving from Austria In
a westerly direction Into Germany In such a way
that they might replace German troops employed
at the front. These two statements were made
by Count Berchtold in reply to precise questions
put to him by M. Dumaine. under instructions
from his government. The French ambassador's
departure was not attended by any hostile dem-
onstration, but his excellency before leaving had
been Justly offended by a harangue made by the
chief burgomaster of Vienna to the crowd as-
sembled before the steps of the town hall. In
Which he assured the people that Paris was In
the throes of a revolution, and that the presi-
dent of the republic had been assassinated.
The British declaration of war on Germany was
made known in Vienna by special editions of the
newspapers about midday on the 4th August. An
abstract of your speeches In the house of com-
mons, and also of the German chancellor's
speech in the reichstag of the 4th August, ap-
peared the same day. as well as the text of the
German ultimatum to Belgium. Otherwise few
details of the great events of these days tran-
spired. The "Neue Frele Presse" was violently
Insulting towards England. The "Fremdenblatf
was not offensive, but little or nothing was said
In the columns of any Vienna paper to explain
that the violation of Belgium neutrality had
left his majesty's government no alternative but
to take part in the war.
The declaration of Italian neutrality was bit-
terly felt In Vienna, but scarcely mentioned In
the newspapers.
On the 5th August I had the honour to receive
your Instruction of the previous day preparing
me for the immediate outbreak of war with Ger-
many, but adding that, Austria being understood
to be not yet at that date at war with Russia
and France, you did not desire me to ask for my
passport or to make any particular communica-
tion to the Austro-Hungarian government. You
stated at the same time that his majesty's gov-
ernment of course expected Austria not to com-
mit any act of war against us without the no-
tice required by diplomatic usage.
On Thursday morning, the 13th August, I had
the honour to receive your telegram of the 12th
stating that you had been compelled to inform
Count Mensdorff. at the request of the French
government, that a complete rupture had oc-
curred between France and Austria, on the
ground" that Austria had declared war on Rus-
sia, who was already fighting on the side of
France, and that Austria had sent troops to the
German frontier under conditions that were a
direct menace to France. The rupture having
been brought about with France In this way, I
was to ask for my passport, and your telegram
stated. In conclusion, that you had Informed
Count Mensdorff that a state of war would ex-
ist between the two countries from midnight of
the 12th August.
After seeing Mr. Penfleld. the United States
ambassador, who accepted Immediately In the
most friendly spirit my request that his excel-
lency would take charge provisionally of British
Interests In Austria-Hungary, during the unfor-
tunate Interruption of relations, I proceeded,
with Mr. Theo Russell, counsellor of his majes-
ty's embassy, to the Ballplatz. Count Berchtold
received me at midday. I delivered my message,
for which his excellency did not seem to be un-
prepared, although he told me that a long tele-
gram from Count Mensdorff had just come In
but had not yet been brought to him. His ex-
cellency received my communication with the
courtesy which never leaves him. He deplored
the unhappy complications which were drawing
such good friends as Austria and England Into
war. In point of fact, he added. Austria did
not consider herself then at war with France,
though diplomatic relations with that country
had been broken off. I explained In a few words
how circumstances had forced this unwelcome
conflict upon us. We both avoided useless argu-
ment. Then I ventured to recommend to his
excellency's consideration the case of the numer-
ous stranded British subjects at Carlsbad. Vien-
na and other places throughout the country. I
had -already had some correspondence with him
on the subject, and his excellency took a note
of what I said, and promised to see what could
be done to get them away when the stress of
mobilisation should be over. Count Berchtold
agreed to Mr. Phillpotts, till then British con-
sul at Vienna under Consul-General Sir Freder-
ick Duncan, being left by me at the embassy in
the capacity of charge des archives. He pre-
sumed a similar privilege would not be refused
in England if desired on behalf of the Austro-
Hungarian government. I took leave of Count
Berchtold with sincere regret, having received
from the day of my arrival in Vienna, not quite
nine months before, many marks of friendship
and consideration from his excellency. As I left
I begged his excellency to present my profound
respects to the Emperor Francis Joseph, together
with an expression of my hope that his majesty
would pass through these sad times with unim-
paired health and strength. Count Berchtold
was pleased to say he would deliver my message.
Count Walterskirchen. of the Anstro-Huugarian
foreign office, was deputed the following morn-
ing to bring me my passport and to acquaint me
with the arrangements made for my departure
that evening (14th August). In the course of the
day Countess Berchtold and other ladies of Vienna
society called to take leave of Lady de Bunsen
at, the embassy. We left the railway station by
special train for the Swiss frontier at 7 p. ni.
No disagreeable incidents occurred. Count Wal-
torskirchen was present at the station on behalf
of Count Berchtold. The journey was necessa-
rily slow, owing to the encumbered state of the
line. We reached Buchs. on the Swiss frontier,
enrly In the morning of the 17th August. At the
first halting place there had been some hooting

and stone throwing on the part of the entraining
troops and station officials, but no inconvenience
was caused, and at the other large stations on
our route we found that ample measures had
been taken to preserve us from molestation as
well as to provide us with food. I was left in
no doubt that the Austro-Hungarian government
had desired that the journey should be performed
under the most comfortable conditions possible.
and that I "should receive on my departure all
the marks of consideration due to his majesty's
representative. I was accompanied by my own
family and the entire staff of the embassy, for
whose untiring zeal and efficient help in trying
times I desire to express my sincere thanks.
The Swiss government also showed courtesy in
providing comfortable accommodation during our
journey from the frontier to Berne, and, after
three days' stay there, on to Geneva, at which
place we found that every provision had been
made by the French government, at the request
of Sir Francis Bertie, for our speedy conveyance
to Paris. We reached England on Saturday
morning, the 22d August.

HOW HUSSIA AND HEB RULEB BETRAYED GER-
MANY'S CONFIDENCE AND THEREBY: CAUSED THE
EUROPEAN WAR.
Foreign Office, Berlin, August, 1914.
On June 28 the Austro-Huugarian successor to
the throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and his
wife, the duchess of Hohenberg, were assas-
fcinated by a member of a baud of Servian con-
spirators. The investigation of the crime through
the Austro-Hungarian authorities has yielded the
fact that the conspiracy against the life of the
archduke and successor to the throne was pre-
pared and abetted in Belgrade with the co-op-
eration of Servian officia.s, and executed with
arms from the Servian state arsenal. This crime
must have opened the eyes of the entire civilized
world, not on y in regard to the aims of the Ser-
vian policies directed against the conservation and
integrity of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, but
also concerning the criminal means which the
pan-Serb propaganda in Servia had no hesitation
in employing for the achievement of these aims.
The goal of these policies was the gradual
revolutionizing and final separation of the south-
easterly districts from the Austro-Hungarian
monarchy and their union with Servia. This di-
rection of Servia' s policy has not been altered
in the least in spite of the repeated and so emu
declarations of .Servia in which it vouchsafed a
change in these policies toward Austria-Hungary
as well as the cultivation of good and neighborly
relations.
In this manner for the third time in the course
of the last, six years Servia has led Europe to
the brink of a world-war.
It could only do this because it believed itself
supported in its intentions by Russia.
Russia soon after the events brought about by
the Turkish revolution of 1908, endeavored to
found a union of the Balkan states under Russian
patronage and directed against the existence of
Turkey. This union, which succeeded in 1911 in
driving out Turkey from a greater part of her
European possessions, co.lapsed over the question
of the distribution of spoils. The Russian poli-
cies were not dismayed over this failure. Ac-
cording to the idea of the Russian statesmen, a
new Balkan union under Russian patronage
should be called into existence, headed no longer
against Turkey, now dislodged from the Balkans,
but against the existence of the Austro-Hun-
garian monarchy. It was the idea that Servia
should cede to Bulgaria those parts of -Mace-
donia which it had received during the last
Balkan war, In exchange for Bosnia and Herze-
govina, which were to be taken from Austria.
To oblige Bulgaria to fall in with this plan it
was to be isolated. Roumania attached to
Russia with the aid of French propaganda, and
Servia promised Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Under these circumstances It was clear to Aus-
tria that U was not compatible with the dignity
and the spirit of self-preservation of the mon-
archy to view idly any longer this agitation
across the border. The Imperial and royal gov-
ernment acquainted Germany with this concep-
tion and asked for our opinion. With all our
heart we were able to agree with our ally's
estimate of the situation and assure him that
any action considered necessary to end the move-
ment in Servia directed against the conservation
of the monarchy wouid meet with our approval.
We were perfectly aware that a possible war-
like attitude of Austria-Hungary against Servia
might bring Russia upon the field, and that it
might therefore involve us in a war, in accord-
ance with our duty as allies. We could not,
however, In these vital interests of Austria-Hun-
gary, which were at stake, advise our ally to
take a yielding attitude incompatible with his
dignity, nor deny him our assistance in these
trying days. We could do this all the less as our
own interests were menaced through the con-
tinued Serb agitation. If the Serbs continued,
with the aid of Russia and France, to menace
the existence of Austria-Hungary, the gradual
collapse of Austria and the subjection of all the
Slavs under one Russian sceptre would be the
consequence, thus making untenable the position
of the Teutonic race in central Europe. A mor-
ally weakened Austria under the pressure of
Russian pan-Slavism would be no longer an ally
on whom we could count and in whom we could
have confidence, as we must be able to have. In
view of the ever more menacing attitude of our
easterly and westerly neighbors. We, therefore,
permitted Austria a completely free hand in her
action towards 'Servia, but have not participated
in her preparations.
Austria chose the method of presenting to the
Servian government a note, in which the direct
connection between the murder at Sarajevo and
the i>an-Serb movement, as not only countenanced
but actively supported by the Servian govern-
ment, was explained, and in which complete
cessation of this agitation, as well as punishment
of the guilty, was requested. At the same time
Austria-Hungary demanded as necessary guaran-
tee for the accomplishment of her desire the par-
ticipation of Austrian officials in the preliminnry
examination on Servian territory and the final
dissolution of the pan-Serb societies agitating
against Austria-Hungary. The imperial and royal
government gave a period of 48 hours for the
unconditional acceptance of its demands.
The Servian government started the mobiliza-
tion of Its army one day after the transmission
of the Austro-Hungarian note.
As after the stipulated date the Servian gov-
ernment made a reply which, though complying
in some points with the conditions of Austria-
Mungary, yet showed in all essentials the en-
deavor through procrastination and new negotia-
tions to escape from the just demands of the
monarchy, the latter discontinued her diplomatic
relations with 'Servia without Indulging in fur-
ther negotiations or accepting further Servian
assurances, whose value, to its loss, she had
sufficiently experienced.
From this moment Austria was in fact in a
state of war with Servia, which it proclaimed
officially on the 28th of July by declaring war.
From the beginning of the conflict we assumed
the position that there were here concerned the
affairs of Austria alone, which It would have to
settle with Servia. We therefore directed our
efforts toward the localizing of the war, and to-
ward convincing the other powers that Austria-
Hungary had to appeal to arms in justifiable
self-defense, forced upon her by the conditions.
We emphatically took the position that no civil-
ized country possessed the right to stay the arm
of Austria in this strugg'e with barbarism and
political crime, and to shield the Servians against
their just punishment. In this sense we in-
structed our representatives with the foreign
powers. (See exhibits 1 and 2.)
Simultaneously the Austro-Hungarian govern-
ment communicated to the Russian government
that the step undertaken against Servia Implied
merely a defensive measure against the Serb agi-
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR i91o.
407
tation, but that Austria-Hungary must of necessi-
ty demand guarantees for a continued friendly
oeLavlor of Servia towards the monarchy. Aus-
tria-Hungary had no intention whatsoever to
shift the balance of power in the Balkans. (See
exhibit 3.)
In answer to our declaration that the German
government desired, and aimed at, a localization
of the conflict, both the French and the English
governments premised action in the same direc-
tion. But these endeavors did not succeed in pre-
venting the interposition of Russia in the Austro-
Servian disagreement.
The Russian government submitted an official
communique on July 24, according to which Russia
could not possibiy remain indifferent in the Ser-
vo-Austrian conflict. The same was declared by
the Russian secretary of foreign affairs, M.
Sazonof, to the German ambassador, Count Pour-
tales, in the afternoon of July 26. (See exhibit
4.) The German government declared again,
through its ambassador at St. Petersburg, that
Austria-Hungary had no desire for conquest and
only wished peace at her frontiers. After the
official explanation by Austria-Hungary to Rus-
sia that it did not claim territorial gain in Ser-
via, the decision concerning the peace of the
world rested exclusively with St. Petersburg.
(See exhibit 6.)
The same day the first news of Russian mo-
bilization reached Berlin in the evening. (See
exhibits 6, 7, 8, 9.)
The German ambassadors at London, Paris and
St. Petersburg were instructed energetically to
point out the danger of this Russian mobiliza-
tion. The Imperial ambassador at St. Petersburg
was also directed to make the following declara-
tion to the Russian government: (See exhibits
10, lOa, lOb.)
"Preparatory military measures by Russia will
force us to counter-measures which must consist
in mobilizing the army. But mobilization means
war. As we know the obligations of France to-
wards Russia, this mobilization would be directed
against both Russia and France. We cannot as-
sume that Russia desires to unchain such a
European war. Since Austria-Hungary will not
touch the existence of the Servian kingdom, we
are of the opinion that Russia can afford to as-
sume an attitude of waiting. We can all the
more support the desire of Russia to protect the
integrity of Servia, as Austria-Hungary does not
intend to question the latter. It will be easy
in the further development of the affair to find
a basis for an understanding."
On July 27 the Russian secretary of war, M.
Suchomlinoff, gave the German military attache
his word of honor that no order to mobilize had
been issued; preparations were being made, but
not a horse mustered, nor reserves called in. If
Austria-Hungary crossed the Servian frontier,
the military districts directed towards Atwtrla,
1. e.. Kiev, Odessa, Moscow, Kazan, would be
mobilized, but under no circumstances those sit-
uated on the German frontier, i. e., St. Peters-
burg. Vilna, and Warsaw. Upon inquiry into
the object of the mobilization against Austria-
Hungary, the Russian minister of war replied
t-y shrugging his shoulders and referring to the
diplomats. The military attache then pointed
to these mobilization measures against Austria-
Hungary as extremely menacing also for Ger-
many. (See exhibit 11.)
In the succeeding d-.iys news concerning Rus-
sian mobilization came at a rapid rate. Among
it was also news about preparations on the
German-Russian frontier, as, for instance, the
announcement of the state of war in Kovno, the
departure of the Warsaw garrison, and the
strengthening of the Alexandrovo garrison.
On July 27 the first information was re-
ceived concerning preparatory measures taken
by France; the 14th corps discontinued the ma-
noeuvres and returned to its garrison.
In the. meantime we had endeavored to localize
the conflict by most emphatic steps.
On July 26 Sir Edward Grey had made the
proposal to submit the differences between Aus-
tria-Hungary and Servia to a conference of the
ambassadors of Germany, France, and Italy un-
der his chairmanship. We declared in regard to
this proposal that we could not, however much
we approved the idea, participate in such a con-
ference, as we could iiot call Austria in her dis-
pute with Servia before a European tribunal.
(See exhibit 12.)
France consented to the proposal of Sir Ed-
ward Grey, bat it foundered upon Austria's de-
clining it, as was to be expected.
Faithful to our principle that mediation should
not extend to the Austro-Servian conflict, which
is to be considered as a purely Austro-Hungarian
affair, but merely to the relations between Aus-
tria-Hungary and Kussia, we continued our en-
deavors to bring about an understanding between
these two powers. (See exhibits 13. 14.)
We further declared ourselves ready, after fail-
ure of the conference idea, to transmit a second
proposal of Sir Edward Grey's to Vienna in
which he suggested Austria-Hungary should de-
cide that either the Servian reply was sufficient,
or that it be used as a basis for further nego-
tiations. The Austro-Hungarian government re-
marked with full appreciation of our action that
it had come too late, the hostilities having al-
ready been opened. (See exhibits 15, 16.)
In spite of this we continued our attempts to
the utmost, and we advised Vienna to make
every possible advance compatible with the dig-
nity of the monarchy.
Unfortunately, all these proposals were over-
taken by the military preparations of Russia
and France.
On July 29 the Russian government made
the official notification in Berlin that four army
districts had been mobilized. At the same time
further news was received concerning rapidly
progressing military preparations of France, both
on water and on land. (See exhibit 17.)
On the same day the Imperial ambassador in
St. Petersburg had an interview with the Rus-
sian foreign secretary, in regard to which he je-
ported by telegraph as follows:
"The secretary tried to persuade me that 1
should urge my government to participate in a
quadruple conference to find means to induce Aus-
tria-Hungary to give up those demands which
touch upon the sovereignty of Servia. I could mere-
ly promise to report the conversation and took the
position that, after Russia had decided upon the
fateful step of mobilization, every exchange of
ideas appeared now extremely difficult, if not im-
possible. Besides, Russia now was demanding from
us in regard to Austria-Hungary the same which
Austria-Hungary was being blamed for with re-
gard to Servia, 1. e., an infraction of sovereign-
ty. Austria-Hungary having promised to consider
the Russian interests by disclaiming any terri-
torial aspiration — a great concession on the part
of n state engaged in war— should therefore be
permitted to attend to its affair with Servia
alone. There would be time at the peace con-
ference to return to the mitter of forbearance
towards the sovereignty of Servia.
"I added very so.emnly that at this moment
the entire Austro-Servian affair was eclipsed by
the danger of a general European conflagration
and I endeavored to present to the secretary the
magnitude of this danger.
"It was impossible to dissuade Sazonof from
the idea that Servia could not now be deserted
by Russia."
On July 29 the German military attache at
St. Petersburg wired the following report of
a conversation with the chief of the general staff
of the Russian army:
"The chief of the general staff has asked me
to call on him, and he has told me that
he has just come from his majesty. He has
been requested by the secretary of war to reiter-
ate once more that everything had remained as
the secretary had informed me two days ago.
He offered confirmation in writing and gave me his
word of honor in the most solemn manner that
nowhere there had been a rnobi ization, viz., call-
ing in of a Mngle man or horse up to the pres-
ent time, i. e.. 3 o'clock in the afternoon. He
could not assume a guaranty tor the future, but
408
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
he could emphasize that in the regions towards
our frontiers his majesty desired no mobilization.
"As, however, 1 had received many pieces
of news concerning the calling in of the re-
serves in different parts of the country, also
in Warsaw and in Vilna, I told the general that
his statements confronted me with a riddle. On
his officer's word of honor he replied that such
news was wrong, but that possibly here and
there a false alarm might have been given.
"I must consider this conversation as an at-
tempt to mislead us as to the extent of the
measures hitherto taken in view of the abundant
and positive information about the calling in of
reserves."
In reply to various inquiries concerning rea-
sons for its threatening attitude, the Russian
government repeatedly pointed out that Austria-
Hungary had commenced no conversation in St.
Petersburg. The Austro-Hungarian ambassador in
St. Petersburg was therefore instructed on July
29, at our suggestion, to enter into such conver-
sation with Sazonof. Count Szapary was em-
powered to explain to the Russian minister the
note to Servia though it had been overtaken
by the state of war, and to accept any suggestion
on the part of Russia as well as to discuss with
Sazonof all questions touching directly upon the
Austro-Russian relations.
Shoulder to shoulder with England we labored
incessantly and supported every proposal in
Vienna from which we hoped to gain the pos-
sibility of a peaceable solution of the conflict.
We even as late as the 30th of July forwarded
the English proposal to Vienna, as basis for ne-
fotiations. that Austria-Hungary should dictate
er •conditions in. Servia, i. e. after her march
into Servia. We thought that Russia would ac-
cept this basis. (See exhibit 19.)
During the interval from July 29 to July 31
there appeared renewed and cumulative news con-
cerning Russian measures of mobilization. Ac-
cumulation of troops on the East Prussian fron-
tier and the declaration of the state of war
over all important parts of the Russian west
frontier allowed no further doubt that the Rus-
sian mobilization was in full swing against us,
while simultaneously all such measures were de-
nied to our representative in St. Petersburg on
word of honor.
Nay. even before the reply from Vienna regard-
ing the Anglo-German mediation, whose tenden-
cies and basis must have been known in St.
Petersburg, could possibly have been received in
Berlin, Russia ordered a general mobilization.
During the same days, there took place be-
tween his majesty the kaiser and Czar Nicolas
an exchange of telegrams in which his majesty
called the attention of the czar to the menacing
character of the Russian mobilization during the
continuance of his own mediating activities. (See
exhibits 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 23a.)
On July 31, the czar sent the following tele-
gram to his majesty the kaiser:
"I thank you cordially for your mediation
which permits the hope that everything may yet
end peaceably. It is technically impossible to
discontinue our military preparations wnich have
been made necessary by the Austrian mobiliza-
tion. It is far from us to want war. As long
as the negotiations between Austria and Servia
continue, my troops will undertake no provocative
action. I give you my solemn word thereon. I
confide •with all my faith in the grace of God,
and I hope for the success of your mediation in
Vienna for the welfare of our 'Countries and the
peace of Europe.
"Your cordially devoted NICOLAS."
This telegram of the czar crossed with the fol-
lowing sent by his majesty the kaiser, also on
July 31. at 2 p. m. :
"Upon your appeal to my friendship and your
request for my aid I have engaged in mediation
between your government and the government of
Austria-Hungary. While this action was taking
place, your troops were being mobilized against
my ally Austria-Hungary, whereby, as I have al-
ready communication to you. my mediation has
become almost illusory. In spite of this, I have
continued it, and now I receive reliable news
that serious preparations for war are going on
on my eastern frontier. The responsibility for
the security of my country forces me to meas-
ures of defense. I have gone to the extreme
limit of the possible in my efforts for the pres-
ervation of the peace of the world. It is not I
who bear the responsibility for the misfortune
which now tl-reatens the entire civilized world.
It rests iu your bands to avert it. No one threat-
ens the honor and peace of Russia, which might
wt;ll have awaited the success of rny mediation.
The friendship for you and your country, be-
queathed to me by my grandfather on his death-
bed, has always been sacred to me, and I have
stood faithfully by Russia while it was in seri-
ous affliction, especially during its last war.
The peace of Europe can still be preserved by
you if Russia decides to discontinue the mili-
tary ^reparations which menace Germany and
Austria-Hungary."
Before this telegram reached its destination,
the mobilization of all the Russian forces, obvi-
ously directed against us and already ordered
(hiring the afternoon of the 31st of July, was in
full swing. Notwithstanding, the te.egram of
the czar was sent at 2 o'clock that same after-
noon.
After the Russian general mobilization became
known in Berlin, the imperial ambassador at St.
Petersburg was instructed on the afternoon of
July 31 to explain to the Russian government
that Germany declared the state of war as
counter-measure against the general mobilization
of the Russian army and navy which must be
followed by mobilization if Russia did not cease
its military measures against Germany and Aus-
tria-Hungary within twelve hours and notified
Germany thereof. (See exhibit 24.)
At the same time the imperial ambassador in
Paris was instructed to demand from the French
government a declaration within eighteen hours,
whether it would remain neutral in a Russo-
Gerruan war. (See exhibit 25.)
The Russian government destroyed through its
mobilization, menacing the security of our coun-
try, the laborious action at mediation of the Eu-
ropean cabinets. The Russian mobilization, in
regard to the seriousness of which the Russian
government was never allowed by us to enter-
tain a doubt, in connection with its continued
denial, shows clearly that Russia wanted war.
The imperial ambassador at St. Petersburg de-
livered his note to M. Sazonof on July 31 at 12
o'clock midnight.
The reply of the Russian government has never
reached us.
Two hours after the expiration of the time
limit the czar telegraphed to his majesty the
kaiser, as follows:
"I have received your telegram. I comprehend
that you are forced to mobilize, but I should
like to have from you the same guaranty which
I have given you, viz., that these measures do
not mean war, and that we shall continue to
negotiate for the welfare of our two countries
and the universal peace which is so dear to our
hearts. With the aid of God it must be possible
to our long tried friendship to prevent the shed-
ding of blood. I expect with full confidence your
urgent reply."
To this his majesty the kaiser replied:
"I thank you for your telegram. I have shown
yesterday to your government the way through
which alone war may yet be averted. Although
I asked for a reply by today noon, no telegram
from my ambassador has reached me with the
reply of your government, I therefore have been
forced to mobilize my army. An immediate,
clear and unmistakable reply of your govern-
ment is the sole way to avoid endless misery.
Until I receive this reply I am unable, to my
great grief, to enter upon the subject of your
telegram. I must ask most earnestly that you,
without de'ay, order your troops to commit
under no circumstances, the slightest violation
of our frontiers."
As the time limit given to Russia had expired
without the receipt of a reply to our inquiry,
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
409
his majesty the kaiser ordered the mobilization
of the entire German army and navy on Aug.
1, at 5 p. in.
The German ambassador at St. Petersburg was
Instructed that. In the event of the Russian gov-
ernment not giving a satisfactory reply within
the stipulated time, he should declare that we
considered ourselves in a stat& of war after the
refusal of our demands. However, before a con-
firmation of the execution of this order had been
received, that is to say, already in the afternoon
of Aug. 1, i. e., the sama afternoon on which
the telegram of the czar, cited above, was sent.
Russian troops crossed our frontier and marched
Into German territory. (See exhibit 26.)
Thus Russia began the war against us.
Meanwhile the imperial ambassador in Paris
put our question to the Trench cabinet on July
31, at 7 p. m.
The French prime minister gave an equivocal
and unsatisfactory reply on Aug. 1, at 1 p. m.
which gave no clear idea of the position of
France, as he limited himself to the explana-
tion that France would do that which her In-
terests demanded. A few hours later, at 5 p. m.,
the mobilization of the entire French army
and navy was ordered. (See exhibit 27.)
On the morning of the next day France opened
hostilities.
THE NOTE OP AUSTRIA-HUNGARY TO SKEVIA.
Presented July 23, in Belgrade.
On March 31, 1909, the royal Servian minis-
ter to the court of Vienna made the following
statement, by order of his government:
"Svrvia declares that she is not affected In her
rights by the situation established In Bosnia,
and that she will therefore adapt herself to the
decisions which the powers are going to arrive
at In reference to Art. 25 of the Berlin treaty.
By following the councils of the powers, Servla
binds herself to cease the attitude of protest
and resistance which she has assumed since last
October, relative to the annexation, and she binds
herself further to change the direction of her
present policies towards Austria-Hungary, and,
in the future, to live with the latter in friendly
and neighborly relations."
The history of the last years, and especially
the painful events of June 28, have demonstrated
the existence of a subversive movement In i'ervia
whose aim it Is to separate certain territories
from the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. This
movement, which developed under the eyes of
the Servian government, found expression subse-
quently beyond the territory of the klnsdom. In
acts of terrorism, a series of assassinations and
murders.
Far from fulfilling the formal obligations con-
tained In the declaration of March 31, 1909, the
royal Servian government has done nothing to
suppress this movement. It suffered the criminal
doings of the various societies and associations
directed against the monarchy, the unbridled
language of the press, the glorification of the
originators of assassinations, the participation of
officers and officials In subversive intrigues: It
suffered the unwholesome propaganda in public
education, and lastly permitted all manifestations
which would mislead the Servian people Into ha-
tred of the monarchy and Into .contempt for Its
Institutions.
This sufferance of which the royal Servian
government made itself guilty has lasted up to
the moment in .which the events of June 28 dem-
onstrated to the entire world the ghastly conse-
quences of such sufferance. •
It becomes plain from the evidence and con-
fessions of the criminal authors of the outrage
of June 28 that the murder at Sarajevo was
conceived in Belgrade, that the murderers re-
ceived the arms and bombs with which they were
equipped from Servian officers and officials who
belonged to the Narodua Odbrana, and that, last-
ly, the transportation of the criminals and their
arms to Bosnia was arranged nnd carried out
by leading Servian frontier officials.
The cited results of the investigation do not
permit the Imperial and royal government to pb-
serve any longer the attitude of waiting which
It has assumed for years toward those agitations
which have their centre in Belgrade, and which
from there radiate into the territory of the mon-
archy. These results, on the contrary, impose
upon the Imperial and royal government the
duty to terminate Intrigues which constitute a
permanent menace for the peace of the mon-
archy.
In order to obtain this purpose, the imperial
and royal government is forced to demand of-
ficial assurance from the Servian government
that It condemns the propaganda directed against
Austria-Hungary, i. e., the entirety of the mach-
inations whose aim it is to separate parts
from the monarchy which belong to It, and that
she binds herself to suppress with all means this
criminal and terrorizing propaganda.
In order to give to these oollgati^ns a solemn
character, the royal .Servian government will
publish on the first page of its official organ of
July 26, 1914, the following declaration:
"The royal Servian government condemns the
propaganda directed against Austria-Hungary.
1. e., the entirety of those machinations whose
aim It Is to separate from the Austro-Hungarian
monarchy territories belonging thereto, and she
regrets sincerely the ghastly consequences of
these criminal actions.
i "The royal .Servian government regrets that
Servian officers and officials have participated in
the propaganda, cited above, and have thus
threatened the friendly and neighborly relations
which the royal government was solemnly bound
to cultivate by its declaration of March 31, 1909.
"The royal government, which disapproves and
rejects every thought or every attempt at in-
fluencing the destinies of the inhabitants of
any part of Austria-Hungary, considers It its
duty to call most emphatically to the attention
of its officers and officials, and of the entire
population of the kingdom, that It will hence-
forward proceed with the utmost severity against
any persons guilty of similar actions, to prevent
and suppress which it will make every effort."
This explanation Is to be brought simultane-
ously to the cognizance of the royal army through
an order of his majesty the king, and It is to
be published in the official organ of the army.
The royal Servian government binds itself. In
addition, as follows: (1) To suppress any publi-
cation which fosters hatred of. and contempt
for, the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, and whose '
general tendency Is directed against the latter's
territorial integrity. (2) To proceed at once with
the dissolution of the society Narodna Odbrana,
to 'confiscate their entire means of propaganda,
and to proceed in the same manner against the
other societies and associations In Servia which
occupy themselves with the propaganda against
Austria-Hungary. The royal government will take
the necessary measures, so that the dissolved so-
cieties may not 'continue their activities under
another name or In another form. (3) Without
delay to eliminate from the public Instruction in
Servia, so far as the corps of instructors as
well as the means of instruction are concerned,
that which serves, or may serve, to foster the
propaganda against Austria-Hungary. (4) To re-
move from military service and the administra-
tion in general all officers and officials who are
guilty of propaganda against Austria-Hungary,
and whose names, with a communication of the
material which the Imperial and royal govern-
ment possesses against them, the imperial and
royal government reserves the right to communi-
cate to the royal government. (5) To consent
that in Servia officials of the imperial and
royal government co-operate In the suppression
of a movement directed against the territorial
Integrity of the monarchy. (6) To commence a
judicial investigation against the participants of
the conspiracy of June 28, who are on Servian
territory. Officials delegated by the imperial
and royal government will participate In the ex-
aminations. (3) To proceed at once with all
severity to arrest Maj. Voja Tankosic and a cer-
tain Milan Ciganowlc. Servian state officials,
who have been compromised through the result

of the investigation. (8) To prevent through
effective measures the participation of the ;ser-
viau authorities In the smuggling of arms and
explosives across the frontier and to dismiss those
officials of Shal'ut/. and lx>zmca, who assisted
the originators of the crime of barajevo in cross-
ing the frontier. (&) To give to the imperial and
royal government explanations in regard to tue
mi jus tillable remarks of high Servian functionaries
in Servia and abroad who have not hesitated, in
s|.ite of their official position, to express them-
selves In interviews in a hostile manner against
Austria-Hungary after the outrage of June 28.
(10) The imperial and royal government expects a
reply from the royal government at the latest
by Saturday, £5th inst., at 6 p. m. A memoir
concerning the results of the investigations at
Sarajevo, so far as they concern points 7 and 8,
is enclosed with this note.
ENCLOSURE.
The investigation carried on against Gavri'.o
Prinzip and accomplices in the court of Sara-
jevo, oil account of the assassination on June 28
has, so far, yielded the following results:
1. The plan to murder Archduke Fran/ Ferdi-
nand during his stay in Sarajevo was conceived
in Belgrade by Gavrilq. Prinzip, Nedljko Gabrin-
owic and a certain Milan Ciganowic and Trifko
Grabez, with the aid of Maj. Voja Tankosic.
2. The six bombs and four Browning pistols,
which were used by the criminals, \were obtained
by Milan Cigauowic and Maj. 1'ankosic, and pre-
sented to Prinzip and Gabrinowic in Belgrade.
3. The bombs are hand grenades, manufac-
tured at the arsenal of the Servian army in
Kragujtvae.
4. To insure the success of the assassination.
Milan Cigauowic instructed Prinzip and Gabrin-
owic in the use of the grenades and gave in-
structions in shooting with Browning pistols to
Prinzip and Grabez in a forest near the target
practice field of Topshidor (outside Belgrade).
5. In order to enable the crossing of the fron-
tier of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Prinzip, Ga-
brinowic and Grabez, and the smuggling of their
arms, a secret system of transportation was or-
ganized by .Clganowic. The entry of the crim-
inals with their arms into Bosnia and Herze-
govina was effected by the frontier captains of
Miabatz (Rade Popowic) and of Loznica, as well
as by the custom house official Rudivoy Grbic of
Ix>znlca with the aid of several other persons.
THE SERVIAN ANSWER.
Presented at Vienna,- Ju.y 25, 1914.
[With Austria's comments in brackets.]
The royal government has received the com-
munication of the imperial and royal government
of the 23d inst., and is convinced that its reply
will dissipate any misunderstanding which
threatens to destroy the friendly and neighborly
relations between the Austrian monarchy and the
kingdom of Servia.
The royal government is conscious that no-
where have there been renewed protests against
the great neighborly monarchy like those which
at one time were expressed in the skupshtina,
as well as in the declaration and actions of the
responsible representatives of the state at that
time, und which wtre terminated by the Servian
declaration of March 31, 1909: furthermore that
since that time neither the different corporations
of the kingdom nor the officials have made an
attempt to alter the political and judicial con-
dition created in Bosnia and the Herzegovina. The
royal government states that the imperial and
royal government has made no protestation in
this sense excepting in the case of a textbook, in
regard to which the imperial and royal govern-
ment has received an entirely satisfactory ex-
planation. Servia has given during the time of
the Balkan crisis in numerous cases evidence of
her pacific and moderate policy, and it is only
owing to Servia and the sacrifices which she has
brought in the interest of the peace of Europe
that this peace has been preserved.
[The royal Serviin government limits itself to
establishing that since the declaration of March
31, 1909, there has been no attempt on the part
of the Servian government to alter the position
of Bosnia and the Herzegovina. With this she
deliberately shifts the foundation of our note, as
we have not insisted that she and her official
have undertaken anything official in this direc-
tion. Our contention is that in spite of the
obligation assumed in the cited note, she has
omitted to suppress the movement directed
against the territorial integrity of the monarchy.
Her obligation consisted in changing her atti-
tude and the entire direction of her policies, and
in entering into friendly and neighborly relations
with the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, and not
only not to interfere with the possession of
Bosnia.]
The royal government cannot be made respon-
sible for expressions of a private character, as
for instance newspaper articles and the peace-
able work of societies, expressions which are or
very common appearance ir other countries, and
which ordinarily are not under the control of
the state. This, all the less, as the royal gov-
ernment has shown great courtesy in the solution
of a whole series of questions which have arisen
between Servia and Austria-Hungary, whereby it
has succeeded to solve the greater number there-
of, in favor of the progress of both countries.
[The assertion of the royal Servian government
that the expressions of the press and the activity
of Servian associations possess a private charac-
ter and thus escape governmental control stands
in full contrast with the institutions of modern
states and even the most liberal of press ana
society laws, which nearly everywhere subject
the press and the societies to a certain control
of the state. This is also provided for by the
Servian institutions. The rebuke against the Ser-
vian government consists in the fact that it has
totally omitted to supervise its press and its 'so-
cieties, in so far as it knew their direction to be
hostile to the monarchy.]
The royal government was therefore painfully
surprised by the assertions that citizens of Servia
had participated in the preparations of the out-
rage in Sarajevo. The government expected to
be invited to co-operate in the investigation of the
crime, and it was ready in order to prove its
complete correctness to proceed against all per-
sons in regard to whom it would receive infor-
mation.
[This assertion is incorrect. The Servian gov-
ernment was accurately informed about the sus-
picion resting upon quite definite personalities
and not only in the position, but also obliged by
Its own laws to institute investigations spon-
taneously. The Servian government has done
nothing in this direction.]
According to the wishes of the imperial and
royal government, the royal government is pre-
pared to surrender^ to the court, without regard
to position and rank, every Servian citizen, for
whose participation in the crime of Sarajevo it
should have received proof. It binds itself par-
ticularly on the first page of the official organ
of the 26th of July to publish the following
enunciation:
"The royal Servian government condemns every
propaganda directed against Austria-Hungary,
i. e., the entirety of such activities as aim to-
wards the separation of certain territories from
the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, and it regrets
sincerely the lamentable consequences of those
criminal machinations."
[The Austrian demand reads: "The royal Ser-
vian government condemns the propaganda against
Austria-Hungary. * * *" The alteration of
the declaration as demanded by us, which has
been made by the royal Servian government, is
meant to imply that a propaganda directed
against Austria-Hungary does not exist, and that
it is not aware of such. This formula is insin-
cere, and the Servian government icserves itself
the subterfuge for later occasions that It had
not disavowed by this declaration the existing
propaganda, nor recognized the same as hostile
to the monarchy, whence it could deduce further
that it is not obliged to suppress in the future
a propaganda similar to the present one.]
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
411
"The royal government regrets that according
to a communication of the Imperial anU royal
government certain Servian officers and function-
aries have participated in tue propaganda just
referred to, and that these have therefore en-
dangered the amicable relations for the observa-
tion of which the royal government had solemnly
oliiiged itself through the declaration of March
31, 1909.
"The government * * *" (what follows Is
identical with the demanded text.)
[The formula as demanded by Austria reads:
"The royal government regrets that Servian offi-
cers and functionaries » * « have partici-
pated » • * >• Also with this formula and
the further addition "according to the declara-
tion of the Imperial and royal government," the
Servian government pursue the object, already
indicated above, to preserve a free hand for the
future.]
The royal government binds Itself further:
1. During the next regular meeting of the
skupshtina to embody in the press laws a clause,
to wit, that the incitement to hatred of, and
contempt for, the monarchy is to he most severe-
ly punished, as well as every publication whose
general tendency is directed against the terri-
torial integrity of Austria-Hungary. It binds it-
self in view of the coming revision of the consti-
tution to embody an amendment into ar.icle 22
of the constitutional law which permits the con-
fiscation of such publications as is at present im-
possible according to the clear definition of arti-
cle 22 of the constitution.
[Austria had demanded: (1) "To suppress every
publication which incites to hatred and contempt
for the monarchy, and whose tendency is directed
against the territorial integrity of the monarchy."
We wanted to bring about the obligation for
Servla to take care that such attacks of the
press would cease In the future. Instead Servia
offers to pass certain laws which are meant as
means toward this end, viz.: (a) A law accord-
ing to which the expressions of the press hostile
to the monarchy can be individually punished, a
ii.atter which is immaterial to us. all the more
so. as the individual prosecution of press in-
trigues is very rarely possible and as, with a lax
enforcement of such laws, the few cases of this
nature would be punished. The proposition, there-
fore, does not meet our demand in any way, and
it offers not the least guarantee for the desired
success, (b) An amendment to article 22 of the
Constitution, which would permit confiscation, a
proposal which does not satisfy us. as the ex-
istence of such a law in Servia is of no use to
us. For we want the obligation of the govern-
ment to enforce it and that has not been prom-
ised us. These proposals are, therefore, entirely
unsatisfactory and evasive, as we are not told
within what time these laws will be passed, and
as in the event of the not-passing of these laws
Iiy the skupsttina everything would remain as It
is, excepting the event of a possible resignation
of the government.]
2. The government possesses no proofs and the
note of the imperial and royal government does
not submit them that the society Narodna Odbrana
and other similar societies have committed, up
to the present, any criminal actions of this man-
ner through any one of their members. Notwith-
standing this, the royal government will accept
the demand of the imperial and royal govern-
ment and dissolve the socle y K'arodna Odbrana.
as well as every society which should act against
Austria-Hungary.
[The propaganda of the Narodna Odbrana and
affiliated societies hostile to the monarchy fills
the entire public life of Servia; it is, therefore,
an entirely inaceeptable reserve if the Servian
government asserts that it knows nothing about
it. Aside from this, our d manj is not com-
pletely fulfilled, as we have nsked besides: "To
confiscate the means of propaganda of these so-
cieties to prevent the reformation of the dis-
solved societies nnder another name and in anoth-
er form." In these two directions the Belgrade
cabinet is perfectly silent, so that through this
semiconcession there is oliered us no guarantee
for putting an end to the agitation of the asso-
ciations hostile to the monarchy, especially the
Narodra Odbrana.]
3. The royal Servian government binds itself
without delay to eliminate from the public in-
struction in Servia anything which might further
the propaganda directed against Austria-Hungary
provided the imperial and royal government fur-
nishes actual proofs.
[Also in this case the Servian government first
demands proofs for a propaganda hostile to the
monarchy in the public instruction of Servia
while it must know that the textbooks intro-
duced in the Servian schools contain objectionable
matter in this direction and that a large portion
of the teachers are In the camp of the Narodna
Odbrana and affiliated societies. Furthermore,
the Servian government has not fulfilled a part
of our demands, as we have requested, as It
omitted in its text the addition desired by us:
"As far as the body of instructors is concerned,
as well as the means of instruction" — a sen-
tence which shows clearly where the propaganda
hostile to tue monarchy is to be found in the
Servian schools.]
4. The royal government is also ready to dis-
miss those officers and officials from the military
and civil services in regard to whom it has been
proved by judicial investigation that they have
been guilty of actions against the territorial in-
tegrity of the monarchy; it expects that the im-
perial and royal government communicate to it
for the purpose of starting the investigation the
names of these officers and officials, and the facts
with which they have been charged.
[By promising the dismissal from the military
and civil services of those officers and officials
who are found guilty by judicial procedure, the
Servian government limits its assent to those
cases, in which these persons have been charged
with a crime according to the statutory code.
As, however, we demand the removal of such
officers and officials as indulge in a propaganda
hostile to the monarchy, which is generally not
punishable in Servia, our demands have not been
fulfilled in this point. 1
5. The royal government confesses that It Is
,not clear about the sense and the scope of that
demand of the imperial and royal government
which concerns the obligation on the part of the
royal Servian government to permit the co-opera-
tion of officials of the imperial and royal govern,
ment on Servian territory, but it declares that
it is willing to accept every co-operation which
does not run counter to international law and
criminal law, as well as to the friendly and
neighborly relations.'
[The international law, as well as the criminal
law, has nothing to do with this question; it is
purely a matter of the nature of state police
which is to be solved by way of a special agree-
ment. The reserved attilude of Se;via is there-
fore Incomprehensible and on account of its
vague general form it would lead to unbridgeable
difficulties.]
6. The royal government considers it its duty
as a matter of course to begin an investigation
against all those persons who have participated
in the outrage of June 28 and who are In its
territory. As far as the co-operation in this in-
vestigation of specially delpgated officials of the
imperial and royal government is concerned, this
cannot be accepted, as this is a violation of the
constitution nnd of criminal procedure. Yet In
some cases the result of the Investigation might
be communicated to the Austro-Hungarian offi-
cials.-
[The Austrian demand was clear and unmis-
takable: (1) To institute a criminal procedure
against the pariicipants in the outrage. (2) Par.
tioipntion by imperial and royal government offi-
cials in the examination ("Recherche" In con-
trast with "enqtiete judiclaire"). (3) It did not
occur to us to let imperial and royal government
officials participate in the Servian court pro-

cedure; they were to co-operate only In the police
researches which had to furnish and fix the ma-
terial for the investigation, it the Servian gov-
ernment misunderstands us here, this is done
deliberately, for it must be familiar with the
difference between "euquete judiciaire'1 and sim-
ple police researches. As it desired to escape
from every control of the investigation which
would yield, if correctly carried out, highly un-
desirable results for it, and as it possesses no
means to refuse in a plaus.ble manner the co-
operation of our officials (precedents for such
police Intervention exist in gieat numbers) it
tries to justify its refusal by showing up our
demands as impossible.]
7. The royal government ordered on the eve-
ning of the day on which the no'e was received
the arrest of ilaj. Voislar Tankosic. However,
as far as Milan Ciganowic is concerned, who Is
a citizen of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and
who has been employed till June 28 with the
railroad department, it has as yet been impossi-
ble to locate him, wherefor a warrant has been
issued against him. The imperial and royal gov-
ernment Is asked to make known, as soon as pos-
sible, for the purpose of conducting tlie investi-
tion, the existing grounds for suspicion and the
proofs of guilt, obtained in the investigation at
Sarajevo.
[This reply Is disingenuous. According to our
investigation, Ciganowic, by order of the police
prefect in Belgrade, left three days after the
outrage for Ribari, after it had become known
that Ciganowic had participated in the outrage.
In the first place, it is therefore incorrect that
Ciganowic left the Servian service on June 28.
In the second place, we add that the prefect of
police at Belgrade, who had himself caused the
departure of this Ciganowic and who knew his
whereabouts, declared in an interview that a
man by the name of Milan Ciganowic did not
exist in Belgrade.]
8. The Servian government will amplify and
render more severe the existing measures against
the suppression of smuggling of arms and ex-
plosives. It is a matter of course that it will
proceed at once against, and punish severely,
those officials of the frontier service on the line
Shabatz-Loznlca who violated their duty and who
have permitted the perpetrators of the crime to
cross the frontier.
9. The royal government Is ready to give ex-
planations about the expressions which its offi-
cials in Servia and abroad have made In Inter-
views after the outrage and which, according to
the assertion of the imperial and royal govern-
ment, were hostile to the monarchy. As soon as
the Imperial and royal government points out in
detail where .those expressions were made and
succeeds in proving that those expressions have
actually been made by the functionaries "con-
cerned, the royal government itself will take
care that the necessary evidences and proofs are
collected therefor.
[The royal Servian government must be aware
of the interviews in question. If it demands of
the imperial and royal government that It should
furnish all kinds of detail about the said inter-
views and if it reserves for itself the right of a
formal investigation, it shows that it is not Its
intention seriously to fulfill the demand 1
10. Ihe royal government will notify the im-
perial and royal government so far as this has
not been already done by the present note, of
the execution of the measures in question as
soon as one of those measures has been ordered
and put into execution.
The royal S°rvian government believes It to
be to the common interest not to rush the solu-
tion of this affair and it is. therefore, in case
the Imperial and rornl government should not
consider itself satisfied with this answer, ready
as ever, to accept a peaceable solution be It h'v
referring the decision of this question to the
International court nt The Fasue or by leaving
it to the decision of the creat powers who have
participated Jq tlie workipg out of the declara-
tion given by the Servian government on March
31, 19U9.
I The Servian note, therefore, is entirely a play
for time.]
EXHIBIT 1. THE CHANCELLOR TO THE IMPERIAL
AMBASSADORS AT PARIS, LONDON, AND ST.
PETERSBURG, ON JULY 23, 1914.
The publications of the Austro-Hungarian gov-
ernment concerning the circumstances under
which the assassination of the Austrian successor
to the throne and his consort took place, dis-
close clearly the alms which the pan-Serb propa-
ganda has set itself and the means which it
utilizes for their realization. Through the pub-
lished facts the last doubt must disappear that
the center of action of the efforts for the sepa-
ration of the south Slavic provinces from the
Austro-Hungarian monarchy and their union with
the Servian kingdom must be sought In Belgrade
where it displays its activity with the conniv-
ance of members of the government and of the
army.
Ihe Serb Intrigues may be traced back through
a series of years. In a specially marked manner
the pan-Serb chauvinism showed itself during
the Bosnian crisis. Only to the far-reaching
self-restraint and moderation of the Austro-
Hungarian government and the energetic inter-
cession of the powers Is it to b'e ascribed that
the provocations to which at that time Austria-
Hungary was exposed on the part of Servia, did
not lead to a conflict. The assurance of future
well behavior, which the Servian government
gave at that time, it has not kept. Under the
very eyes, at least with the tacit sufferance of
official Servia, the pan-Serb propaganda has
meanwhile increased in scope and intensity; at
its door is to be laid the latest crime, the
threads of which lead to Belgrade. It has be-
come evident that it is compatible neither with
the dignity nor with the self-preservation of the
Austro-Hungarian monarchy to view any longer
idly the doings across the border through which
the safety and the integrity of the monarchy are
permanently threatened. With this state of af-
fairs, the action as well as the demands of the
Austro-Hungarian government can be viewed only
as justifiable. Nevertheless, the attitude assumed
by public 'opinion as well as by the government
in Servia does not preclude the fear that the
Servian government will dec'.lne to meet these
demands and that it will allow itself to be car-
ried away into a provocative attitude toward
Austria-Hungary. Nothing would remain for the
Austro-Hungarian government, unless it renounced
definitely its position as a great power, but to
press its demands with the Servian government
and, if need be, enforce the same by appeal to
military measures, in regard to which the choice
of means must be left with It.
I have the honor to request you to express
yourself in the sense indicated above to (the
present representative «f M. Vivianl) (Sir Ed-
ward Grey) (M. Sazonof) and therewith give spe-
cial emphasis to the view that in this question
there is concerned an affair which should be set-
tled solely between Austria-Hungary and Servia,
the limitation to which it must be the earnest
endeavor of the powers to assure. We anxiously
desire the localization of the conflict because
every intercession of another power on account
of the various treaty alliances would precipitate
inconceivable consequences.
I shall look forward with interest to a tele-
graphic report about the course of your Inter-
view.
EXHIBIT 2. THE CHANCELLOR TO THE GOVERN-
MENTS OF GERMANY, CONFIDENTIAL.
Berlin, July 28, 1914.
You will make the following report to the gov-
ernment to which you are accredited:
In view of the facts which the Austrian gov-
ernment has published in its note to the Servian
government, the last doubt must disappear that
the outrage to which the >nctro-Hun?arian suc-
cessor to the throne has fallen a victim, was
prepared In Servia, to say the least with the
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOB 1915.

connivance of members of the Servian govern-
ment and army. It is a product of the pan-
Serb intrigues which for a series of years have
become a source of permanent disturbance for
the Austro-IIungarian monarchy and for the
whole of Europe.
The pan-Serb chauvinism appeared especially
marked during the Bosnian crisis. Only to the
far-reaching self-restraint and moderation of the
Austro-Hungarian government and the energetic
intercession of the powers is it to be ascribed
that the provocations to which Austria-Hungary
was exposed at that time, did not lead to a con-
flict. The assurance of future well behavior,
which the Servian government gave at that time,
it has not kept. Under the very eyes, at least
with the tacit sufferance of official Servia, the
pan-Serb propaganda has meanwhile continued to
increase in scope and intensity. It would be
compatible neither with Its dignity nor with its
right -to self-preservation if the Austro-Hungarian
government persisted to view idly any longer the
intrigues beyond the frontier, through which the
safety and the integrity of the monarchy are
permanently, threatened. With this state of af-
fairs, the action as well as the demands of the
Austro-Hungarian government can be viewed only
as justifiable.
The reply of the Servian government to the
demands which the Austro-Hungarian government
put on the 23d inst. through its representative in
Belgrade, shows that the dominating factors in
Servia are not inclined to cease their former poli-
cies and agitation. There will remain nothing
else for the Austro-Hungarian government than
to press its demands, if need be, through mili-
tary action, unless it renounces for good its po-
sition as a great power.
Some Russian personalities deem It their right
as a matter of course and a task of Russia's to
actively become a party to Servia In the conflict
between Austria-Hungary and Servia. For the
European conflagration which would result from
a similar step by Russia, the ''Nowoje Wremja"
believes Itself justified in making Germany re-
sponsible in so far as it does not induce Austria-
Hungary to yield.
The Russian press thus turns conditions upside
down. It Is not Austria-Hungary, which has
called forth the conflict with Servia, but It Is
Servia which, through unscrupulous favor toward
pan-Serb aspirations, even in parts of the AUS-
tro-Hungarian monarchy, threatens the same in
her existence and creates conditions which
eventually found expression in the wanton out-
rage at Sarajevo. If Russia believes that it must
champion the cause of Servia In this matter, it
certainly has the right to do so. However, It
must realize that it makes the Serb activities
its own, to undermine the conditions of exist-
ence of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, and
that thus It bears the sole responsibility if out
of the Austro-Servlan affair, which all other
great powers desire to loenlize. there arises a
European war. This responsibility of Russia's
is evident ard it weighs the more heavily as
Count Berchtold has officially declared to Russia
that Austria-Hungary has no intention to acquire
Servian territory or to touch the existence of
the Servian kingdom, but only desires peace
against the Servian intrigues threatening its ex-
istence.
The attitude of the imper'al government in
this question is clearly indicated. The agitation
conducted by the pan-Slavs in Austria-Hungary
has for its goal, with the destruction of the
Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the scattering or
weakening of the triple alliance with a com-
plete isolation of the German empire in conse-
quence. Our own interest therefire calls us to
the side of Austria-Hungary. Tlio duty, if at
all possible, to guard Europe against a universal
war, points to the support by ourselves of those
endeavors which aim at the localization of the
conflict, faithful to the course of those policies
which we have carried out successfully for forty-
four years in the interest of the preservation
of the peace of Europe.
Should, however, against our hope, through the
interference of Russia the fire be spread, we
should have to support, faithful to our duty as
allies, the neighbor monarchy with all the power
at our command. We shall take the sword only
if forced to it, but then in the clear conscious-
ness that we are not guilty of the calamity
which war will bring upon the peoples of Europe.

Count Berchtold has asked to-day for the Rus-
sian charge d'affaires in order to explain to him
thoroughly and cordially Austria-Hungary's point
of view toward Servia. Austria-Hungary would
not claim Servian territory. It insisted merely
that this step was meant as a definite means
of checking the Serb intrigues. Impelled by
force of circumstance, Austria-Hungary must
have a guaranty for continued amicable rela-
tions with Servia. It was far from him to in-
tend to bring about a change in the balance of
powers in the Balkans. The chirge d'affaires,
who had received no instructions from St. Peters-
burg, took the discussion of the secretary "ad
referendum" with the promise to submit It im-
mediately to Sazonof.

After officially declaring to Russia that Aus-

kingdom, the decision whether there is to be a
European war rests solely with Russia, which has
to bear the entire responsibility. We depend

latter to enlighten me on the situation. The
secretary of war has given me his word of honor
that no order to mobilize has as yet been issued.
Though general preparations are being made, no
reserves were called and no horses mustered. If
Austria crossed the Servian frontier, such mili-
tary districts as are directed toward Austria,
viz., Kiev, Odessa, Moscow, Kazan, are to be
mobilized, but under no circumstances those on
the German frontier— Warsaw, Vilna, St. Peters-
burg. Peace with. Germany was desired very
much. Upon my inquiry into the object of mobi-
lization against Austria, he shrugsed his shoul-
ders and referred to the diplomats. I told the
secretary that we appreciated the friendly in-
tentions, but considered mobilization even against
Austria as very menacing.
EXHIBIT 12. TELEGRAM OF THE CHANCELLOR TO

We know as yet nothing of a suggestion of Sir
Edward Grey's to hold a quadrup.e conference
in London. It is impossible for us to place our
ally in his dispute with Servia before a European
tribunal. Our mediation must be limited to the
danger of an Austro-Russian conflict.
EXHIBIT 13. TELEGRAM OF THE CHANCELLOR TO
THE IMPERIAL AMBASSADOR AT LONDON ON JULY

The distinction made by Sir Edward Grey be-
tween til Austro-Servian and an Austro-Russian
conflict is perfectly correct. We do not wish to
interpose in the former any more than England,
and us heretofore we take the position that this
question must be localized by virtue of all powers
retraining from intervention. It is therefore our
hope that Russia will refrain from any action in
view of her itsponsibility and the seriousness of
the situation. We are prepared, in the event of
an Au*tro-Russian controversy, quite apart from
our known duties as allies, to intercede between""
Russia and Austria jointly with the other pow-
ers.

Prince Trouhetzki said to me yesterday, after
causing your majesty's telegram to be delivered
at once to Czar Nicolas: Thank God that a tele-
gram of your emperor has come. He has just
told me the telegram has made a deep impres-
sion upon the czar, but as the mobilization
against Austria had already been ordered and
Sazonof had convinced his majesty that it was
no longer possible to retreat, his ma.iesty was
sorry he could not change it any more. I then
told him that the guilt for the measureless con-
sequences lay at the door of premature mobili/a-
tion against Austria-Hungary, which after all
was involved merely in a ;ocal war with Servia,
for Germany's answer was clear and the re-
sponsibility rested upon Russia, which ignored
Austria-Hungary's assurance that it had no inten-
tions of territorial gain in Sorvia. AustriM -Hun-
gary mobilized against Servia and not against
Russia and there was no ground for an immedi-
ate action on the part of Russia. I further
added that in Germany one could not understand
any more Russia's phrase that "she could not
desert her brethren in Servia," after the horrible
crime of Sarajevo. I told him finally he need
not wonder if Germany's army were to be mo-
bilized.

desire for the conservation of peaco. However.
I cannot— as I told you in my first telegram —
consider the action of Austria-Hungary as an
"ignominious war." Austria-Hungary knows from
experience that the promises of Servia as long
as they are merely on paper are entirely unre-
liable.
Aocording to my opinion the action of Austria-
Hungary is to be considered as an attempt to re-
ceive full guaranty that the promises of Servli
are effectively translated into deeds. In this
opinion I am strengthened by the explanation of
the Austrian cabinet that Austria-Hungary in-
tended no territorial gain at the expense of
Servia. I am therefore of opinion that it Is per-
fect.v possible for Russia to remain a spectator
in the Austro-Servian -war without drawing
Kurope into the most terrible war it has ever
seen. I believe that a direct understanding is
possible and desirable between your government
and Vienna, an understanding which— as I have
already telegraphed you— my government en-
deavors to aid with all possible effort. Nat-
urally military measures by Russia, which mlsjnt
be construed as a menace by Austria-Hungary,
would accelerate a calamity which both of us
desire to avoid and would undermine my position
as mediator which — upon your appeal to my
friendship and aid— I willingly accepted.

My ambassador has instructions to direct the
attention of your government to the dangers and
serious consequences of a mobilization: I have
told you the same in my last telegram. Austria-
Hungary has mobilized only against Servia, and
only a part of hor army. If Russia, as seems to
be the case, according to your advice and thnt of
your government, mobilizes against Austria-
Hungary, the part of the mediator with which
you have entrusted me In such friendly manner
and which I have accepted upon your express de-
sire, is threatened if not made Impossible. The
entire weight of decision now rests upon your
shoulders: you have to bear the respi^i''1"*-- for
war or peace. (Signed) WILHELM.

honorary aide to the kaiser) with instructions.
The military measures now taking form were de-
cided upon five days ago. and for the reason
of defense against the preparations of Austria.
I hope 'with all my heart that these measures
will not influence in any manner your position

(Urgent.) In spite of negotiations still pending
and although we have up to this hour made no
preparations for mobilization, Russia has moj
bilized her entire army and nav.v. hence also
against us. On account of these Russian meas-
ures we have been forced, for the safety of the
country, to proclaim the threatening state of
war, which does not yet imply mobilization. Mo-
bilization, however, is bound to fol ow if 'Russia
does not stop every measure of war against us
and against Austria-Hungary within twelve hours

(Urgent.) Russia has ordered mobilization of
her entire army and fleet, therefore also against
us in spite of our still pending mediation. We
have therefore declared the threatening state of
war which is bound to be followed by mobiliza-
tion unless Russia stops within twelve hours all
measures of war against us and Austria. Mo-
bilization inevitably implies iwar. Please ask
French government whether it intends to remain

(Urgent.) If the Russian government gives no
satisfactory reply to our demand, your excellency
will please transmit this afternoon 5 o'clock
(mid-European time) the following statement:
The imperial government has endeavored from
the beginning of the crisis to bring it to a peace-
ful solution. In accordance with a wish ex-
pressed to him by his majesty the emperor of
Russia, his majesty the emperor of Germany, in
co-operation with England, applied himself to the
accomplishment of a mediating role toward the
cabinets of Vienna and St. Petersburg, when
Russia, without awaiting the outcome, proceeded
to mobilize her entire land and naval forces.
Following this threatening measure, occasioned
by no military preparation on the part of Ger-
many, the German empire found itself con-
fronted by a serious and imminent peril. If the
Imperial government had failed to meet this
peril it would have jeopardized the safety mid
even the existence of Germany. Consequently,
the German government was obliged to address
the government of the emperor of all the Rus-
sias and insist upon the cessation of all these
military measures. Russia having refused to ac-
cede to this demand, and having manifested by
this refusal that her acts were directed against
Germany, I have the honor, by order of my gov-
ernment, to make known to your excellency the
following :
His majesty, the emperor, my august sovereign.
In the name of the empire, takes up the defiance
and considers himself in a state of war against
Russia.
I urgently ask that you wire the hour of
arrival of these instructions, and of their carry-
ing out, according to Russian time.

TELEGRAM OF HIS HOTAL HIGHNESS PRINCE HEN-
BY OF PRUSSIA TO H. M. THE KING OF ENGLAND
OF JULY 30, 1914.
Am here since yesterday: have informed Wil-
liam of what you kindly told me at Buckingham
palace last Sunday, who gratefully received your
message.
William, much preoccupied, is trying his ut-
most to fulfill Nicky's appeal to him to work for
maintenance of peace and is in constant tele-
graphic communication with Nicky, who to-day
confirms news that military measures have been
ordered by him equal to mobilization, measures
which have been taken already five days ago.
We are furthermore informed that France is
making military preparations, whereas we have
taken no measures, but may be forced to do so
any moment, should our neighbors continue,
which then would mean a European war.
If you really and earnestly wish to prevent
this terrible disaster, may I suggest you using
your influence on France and also Russia to keep
neutral, which seems to me would be most use-
ful.
This I consider a very good, perhaps the only
chance, to maintain the peace of Europe.
I may add that now more than ever Germany
and England should lend each other mutual help
to prevent a terrible catastrophe, which other-
wise seems unavoidable.
Believe me that William is most sincere in his
endeavors to maintain peace, but that the mili-
tary preparations of his two neighbors may at
last .force him to follow their example for the
safety of his own country, which otherwise would
remain defenseless.
I have informed William of my telegram to
you. and hope you will receive my informations
in the same spirit of friendship which suggested
them. (Signed) HENRY.

Thanks for your telegram. So pleased to hear
of William's effort to concert with Nicky to

that such an irreparable disaster as a European
war should be averted. My government is doing
its utmost, suggesting to Russia and France to
suspend further military preparations if Austria
will consent to be satisfied with occupation of
Belgrade and neighboring Servian territory as a
hostage for satisfactory settlement of her de-
mands, other countries meanwhile suspending
their war preparation. Trust William will use
his groat influence to induce Austria to accept
this proposal, thus proving that Germany and
England are working together to prevent what
would be an international catastrophe. Pray as-
sure William I am doing and shall continue to do
all that lies in my power to preserve pence of
Europe. (Signed) GEORGE.

*SIR EDWARD GRKT's STATEMENT.
Sir Edward Grey, answering a question ad-
dressed to him by Sir Robert Cecil in tlie house
of commons, maue the following statement:
"It was reported to me one day that the Ger-
man ambassador had suggested tuat Germany
might remain neutral in a war between Russia
and Austria, and also engage not to attack
Prance, if we would remain neutral and secure
the neutrality of France. 1 said at once that, if
the German government thought such an arrange-
ment possible, I was sure we could secure it.
"It appeared, however, that what the ambassa-
dor meant was that we should secure the neu-
trality of France if Germany went to war with
Russia. This was quite a different proposal, and,
as I supposed it in all probability to be incom-
patible with the terms of the Franco-Russian al-
liance, it was not in my power to promise to se-
cure it.
"Subsequently, the ambassador sent for my pri-
vate secretary and told him that as soon as the
misunderstanding was cleared up, he had sent a
second telegram to Berlin to cancel the impres-
sion produced hy the first telegram he had sent
on the subject."

MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS, TO THE BEL-

VIENNA, AND 6T, PETERSBURG.
Brussels. 24th July, 1914.
The king's government has asked itself
whether in the existing circumstances it would
not be proper to address to the powers who have
guaranteed Belgian independence and its neu-
trality a communication for the purpose of con-
firming to them its resolution to carry out the
International duties which are imposed upon it
by treaties In the event of war breaking out on
the Belgian frontiers.
It has come to the conclusion that such a
communication would be premature at the pres-
ent moment, but that events might take a rapid
course and not allow it time to transmit at the
required moment suitable instructions to its
representatives abroad.
In view of this position, I proposed to the
king and to my colleagues in the cabinet who
share my views to give you immediately precise
indications as to the steps which you would
have to take if the eventuality of a Franco-Ger-
man war were to become more menacing.
You will find inclosed a letter, signed but
not dated, which you will have to hand for
persual to the minister for foreign affairs and
leave him a copy of same should circumstances
require this communication.
I shall by telegram advise you of the mo-
ment to take action.
The telegram will be sent to you at the time
when the mobilization of the Belgian army will
be ordered if, contrary to our earnest hope, and
to the appearances of a peaceful solution, our
information warranted us in taking this ex-
treme precautionary measure. I am, &c.,
(Signed) DAVIGNON.
INCLOSURB IN NO. 2.
The International position is serious: the even-
tuality of a ?onfii;-t between several powers can-
not be set aside from the anxieties of the king's
government.
Belgium has observed with the most scrupulous
exactness the duties of a neutral state imposed
utKra her by the treaties of 19th April, 1839.
She wi 1 endeavor unflinchingly to fulfill them,
whatever may be the circumstances.
The friendly disposition of the powers to-
ward her has been so often affirmed that Bel-
gium has confidence that her territory will be
untouched by any attack should hostilities break
out on her frontiers.
All the necessary measures to insure the ob-
servance of her neutrality have, nevertheless,
been taken hy the king's government. The Bel-
gian army is mobilised and is proceeding to the
strategic positions selected, for the purpose of
insuring the defense of tho country and respect
for her neutrality. The forts of Antwerp and
of the Meuse are In a state of defense.
It is hardly necessary, Monsieur le Mlnistre,
to lay stress upon the character of these meas-
ures. They have no other object than to put
Belgium in a position to fulfill her international
obligations; it goes without saying that they
ars not and could not be inspired either by a
design to participate in an armed struggle of
the powers, nor by any sentiment of defiance
toward any one of them.
In complying wJth the orders received, 1
have the honor to hand your excellency a copy
of the declaration of the king's government, re-
questing you to be good enough to take note
of same.
An identical communication has been made
to the other powers guaranteeing Belgian neu-
trality.

I have forwarded to your .colleagues accredited
to the powers guaranteeing the independence
and neutrality of Belgium an undated circular,
the text of which you will find inclosed here-
with.
•Should the threat of a Franco-German war
become imminent, this circular would be com-
municated to the governments of the guarantee-
ing powers to make them acquainted with our
very definite resolution to fulfill the International
duties imposed upon us by the treaties of 1839.
The communication in question would only
be effective upon receipt of a telegraphic order,
from me.
Should circumstances lead me to give this
order I would, also by wire, request you to
make the government to whom you are accredited
acquainted with our step, by communicating to
it a copy of the accompanying circular as a
matter of information, and without requiring
that an acknowledgment of this communication
should be handed to you.
My telegram would in that event inform you
of the date which the circular should bear,
which date you would be careful to enter on the
copy which you would hand to the minister for
foreign affairs.
It goes without saying that the present dis-
patch and its inclosure must bear a strictly
confidential character until the receipt of fur-
ther instructions from me.

Brussels, 29th July, 1914.
The king's government has decided to place the
army on the reinforced peace footing.
This measure must not in any way be con-
founded with mobilization.
On account of the small extent of her terri-
tory, the whole of Belgium to a certain extent
forms a frontier zone.
Her army on the ordinary peace footing only
comprises one class of militia under arms. On
the reinforced peace footing her army divisions
and her cavalry division, owing to the call of
three classes, have an effective strength analo-
gous to that of the corps permanently maintained
on the frontier zones of' the neighboring powers.
These particulars would enable you to reply to
any questions which may be addressed to you. I

The French minister having called to show me
a telegram of the Havas agency, decreeing a
state of war in Germany, said to me: I take
advantage of this opportunity to declare to you
that no incursion of French troops will take
place in Belgium, even if large forces were
massed upon the frontiers of your country.
France does not wish to have the responsibility
of carrying out the first act of hostility toward
Belgium. Instructions to this effect will be giv-
en to the French authorities.
I thanked M. Klobukowski for his communica-
tion and I thought it my duty to say to him
that we always had the greatest confidence in
the loyalty with which our two neighboring
states would keep their engagements toward us.
We also have every reason for believing that the
attitude of the German government will bo iden-
tical with that of the government of the French
republic. (Signed) DAVIGNON.

Brussels, 31st July, 1914.
The British minister asked to see me urgently,
and made the following communication to me
which he was desirous of being in a position to
place before me several days ago. On account of
the possibilitv of a European war. Sir Edward
Grey separately inquired of the French and Ger-
man governments as to whether each of them
was prepared to respect the neutrality of Bel-
gium, provided no power violated same:
"In view of the existing treaties I am instruct-
ed to inform the Belgian minister for foreign af-
fairs of the foregoing and to say that Sir Ed-
ward Grey presumes that Belgium will do all in
her power to maintain her neutrality, and that
she desires and expects that the other powers
shall observe and maintain same."
I hastened to thank Sir Francis Villiers for
this communication, which the Belgian govern-
ment particularly appreciates, and I added that
Great Britain and the other nations guaranteeing
our independence might rest assured that wo
would neglect no effort to maintain our neutral-
ity, and that we were convinced that the other
powers, in view of the excellent relations of
friendship and confidence which we had always
maintained with them, would observe and main-
tain this neutrality.
I did not fail to affirm that our military forces,
which were considerably developed in conse-
quence of our recent reorganization, were suffi-
cient to enable us to defend ourselves energet-
ically in the event of violation of our territory.
In the course of the conversation which fol-
lowed Sir Francis appeared to be somewhat sur-
prised at the rapidity with which we had re-
solved upon the mobilization of our army. I
pointed out that the Netherlands had taken an
identical resolution before us, and that, on the
other hand, the recent date of our new military
regime and the transitory measures which we
had to decide upon on that occasion imposed
urgent and complete measures upon us. Our
neighbors and guarantors ought to view this res-
olution as an evidence of our desire to manifest
our profound desire ourselves to maintain our
neutrality.
Sir Francis appeared to me to be satisfied with
my reply, and announced to nie that his govern-
ment awaited this reply in order to continue ne-
gotiations with France and Germany, the conclu-
sion of which negotiations would be communi-
cated to mo. (Signed) DAVIGNON.

ISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS, TO THE BELGIAN
MINISTERS IN BERLIN, LONDON AND PARIS.
Brussels, 31st July, 1914.
This morning in the course of a conversation
which the secretary goneral of my department
had with Herr von Below, he explained to the
German minister the trend of the military meas-
ures which we had taken and told him they were
a consequence of our decision to carry out our
international obligations and that they in no way
implied an attitude of defiance toward our
neighbors.
The secretary general subsequently asked the
German minister whether be had knowledge of
the conversation which he had had with his pred-
ecessor, Herr von Flotow. and of the reply which
the imperial chancellor had instructed the latter
to make to him.
In the course of the discussion aroused in 1911
by the lodging of the Dutch scheme regarding the
Flushing fortifications, certain papers had assert-
ed that in the event of a Franco-German war
our neutrality would be violated by Germany.
The department of foreign affairs had suggest-
ed the idea that a declaration made in the Ger-
man parliament on the occasion of a debate upon
foreign po'.icy would be calculated to appease
public opinion and to calm its suspicions, which
are so regrettable from the point of view of the
relations of tho two countries.
Herr von Bethmann-Hollweg made reply that
he was most appreciative of the sentiment which
had inspired our action, He declared that Ger-

many had no intention of violating our neutral-
ity, but he considered that by making a declara-
tion publicly Germany would weaken her mili-
tary position in respect of France, who, being
reassured in the northern quarter, would direct
all her forces to the eastern quarter.
Baron van der Elst went on to say that he per-
fectly understood the objections which Herr von
Bethmann-Hollweg raised to the suggested pub-
lic declaration and he pointed out that subse-
quently in 1913 Ilerr von Jagow had given to the
budget commission of the reichstag reassuring
declarations with reference to Belgian neutrality
being respected.
Herr von' Below replied that he was aware of
a conversation with Herr von Flotow and that he
was certain that the sentiments to which expres-
sion was given at that time had not changed.

BELGIAN MINISTER IN BERLIN TO M. DAVIGNON.,
MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Berlin, 2d May, 1913.
I have the honor of informing you. according
to the semi-official "Norddeutsche Allgemeine
Zeituug," of the declarations made in the course
of the sitting of 29th April of the budget com-
mittee of the reichstag by the secretary of state
for foreign affairs and the minister of war with
reference to Belgian neutrality.
"A member of the social democratic party
said: 'In Belgium the approach of a Franco-
German war is viewed with apprehension, be-
cause it is feared that Germany will not respect
Belgian neutrality.'
"Herr von Jagow, secretary of state for for-
eign affairs, replied: 'The neutrality of Bel-
gium is determined by international conventions,
and Germany is resolved to respect these con-
ventions.'
"This declaration did not satisfy another mem-
ber of the Bocial democratic party. Herr von
Jagow observed that he had nothing to add to
the clear statement which he had uttered with

"In reply to further interrogations from a mem-

Heeringten. ministPr of war. stated: 'Belgium
does not play any part in the justification of the

scheme is justified by the position of matters in
the east. Germany will not lose sight of the
fact that Belgian neutrality is guaranteed by

I have the honor to bring the following facts
to the knowledge of your excellency: Sunday, 2d
August, very early, according to information
which reached the grand ducal government at
this moment, German troops entered Luxemburg
territory by the Wasserbillig and Remich bridges,
proceeding more especially toward the south of
the country and toward the town of Luxemburg,
capital of the grand duchy. A certain number
of armored trains with troops and ammunition
have been forwarded by. the railway from Was-
serbillig to Luxemburg, where they are expected
to arrive wt any moment. These facts imply acts
which are manifestly contrary to the neutrality
of the grand duchy, guaranteed by the treaty of
London of 1867. The Luxemburg government has
not failed to protest energetically to the repre-
sentative of his majesty the German emperor In
Luxemburg against this aggression. An identical
protest will be transmitted to the secretary of
state for foreign affairs in Berlin.

I had taken care to have the German minister

the express declaration which the latter had

added that up to the present he had not been
instructed to make us any official communication,
but that we were aware of his personal opinion
respecting the security with which we had the
right to regard our eastern neighbors. I replied
at once that all that we knew of the Intentions
of the latter, intentions set forth in many for-

P. M., DY HERR VON BELOW SALESKK, GERMAN
MINISTER, TO M. DAVIGNON. MINISTER FOR FOR-
EIGN AFFAIRS.
Brussels, 2d August, 1914.
Imperial German Legation in Belgium. Highly
Confidential.
The German government has received reliable
information according to which the French forces
intend to march on the Meuse, by way of Givet
420
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
and Namur. This information leaves no doubt
as to the intention of France of marching on
Germany through Belgian territory. The impe-
rial German government cannot avoid the fear
that Belgium, in spite of its bt'st will, will be
in no position to repulse such a largely devel-
oped French march without aid. In this fact
there is sufficient certainty of a threat directed
against Germany.
It is an imperative duty for the preservation of
Germany to forestall this attack of the enemy.
The German government would feel keen re-
gret if Belgium should regard as an act of hos-
tility against herself the fact that the measures
of the enemies of Germany oblige her on her part
to violate Belgian territory.
In order to dissipate any misunderstanding the
German government declares as follows:
1. Germany does not contemplate any act of
hostility against Belgium. If Belgium consents
in the war about to commence to take up an at-
titude of friendly neutrality toward Germany, the
German government on its part undertakes, on
the declaration of peace, to guarantee the king-
dom and its possessions in their whole extent.
2. Germany undertakes under the condition
laid down to evacuate Belgian territory as soon
as peace is concluded.
3. If Belgium preserves a friendly attitude.
Germany is prepared, in agreement with the
authorities of the Belgian government, to buy
against cash all that is required by her troops,
and to give Indemnity for the damages caused in
Belgium.
4. If Belgium behaves In a hostile manner to-
ward the German troops, and in particular raises
difficulties against their advance by the opposi-
tion of the fortifications of the Meuse, or by de-
stroying roads, railways, tunnels, or other engi-
neering work, Germany will be compelled to con-
sider Belgium as an enemy.
In this ease Germany will take no engagements
toward Belgium, but she will leave the rater set-
tlement of relations of the two states toward one
another to the decision of arms. The German
government has a justified hope that this con-
tingency will not arise and that the Belgian
government will know how to take suitable meas-
ures to hinder its taking place. In this case the
friendly relations which unite the two neighbor-
ing states will become closer and more lasting.

THB 3D AUGUST AT HALF-PAST ONB A. M. BY
HERB VON BELOW SALESKE, GERMAN MINISTER,
WITH BARON VAN DER ELST, SECRETARY GEN-
ERAL TO THE MINISTRY FOE FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
At half-past one at night the German minister
asked to see Baron van der Elst. He told him
that he was instructed by his government to in-
form us that French dirigibles had thrown
bombs, and that a patrol of French cavalry, vio-
lating international law, seeing that war was
not declared, had crossed the frontier.
The secretary general asked Herr von Below
where these events had taken place; in Germany,
he was answered. Baron van der Elst observed
that in that case he could not understand the ob-
ject of his communication. Herr von Below said
that these acts, contrary to international law.
were of a nature to make one expect that other
acts contrary to international law would be per-
petrated by France.
NO. 22. NOTE HANDED IN BY M. DAVIGNON. MIN-
ISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS, TO HERB VON BE-
LOW SALESKE, GERMAN MINISTER.
Brussels, 3d August, 1914, 7 a. m.
By the note of the 2d August, 1914, the German
government his made known that according to
certain Intelligence the French forces intend to
march on the Meuse via Givet and Namur and
tb.it Belgium, in spite of her good will, would
not be able without help to beat off an advance
of the French troops.
The German government felt it to be Its duty
to forestall this attack and to violate Belgian
territory. Dnder these conditions Germany pro-
poses to the king's government to take up a
friendly attitude, and undertakes at the moment
of peace to guarantee the integrity of the king-
dom and of her possessions In their whole extent.
The note adds that if Belgium raises difficulties
to ' the forward march of the German troops
Germany will be compelled to consider her as an
enemy and to leave the later settlement of the
two states toward one another to the decision
of arms.
This note caused profound and painful surprise
to the king's government.
The Intentions which it attributed to France
are in contradiction with the express declarations
which were made t" us on the 1st August, in the
name of the government of the republic.
Moreover, If, contrary to our expectation, a vio-
lation of Belgian neutrality were to be commit-
ted by France. Belgium would fulfill all her in-
ternational duties, and her army would offer the
most vigorous opposition to the Invader.
The treaties of 1839, confirmed by the treaties
of 1870, establish the independence and the neu-
trality of Belgium under the guarantee of the
powers, and particularly of the government of
his majesty the king of Prussia.
Belgium has always been faithful to her inter-
national obligations; she has fulfilled her duties
in a spirit of loyal Impartiality; she has neg-
lected no effort to maintain her neutrality or to
make it respected.
The attempt against her Independence with
which the German government threatens her
would constitute a flagrant violation of inter-
national law. No strategic Interest Justifies the
violation of that law.
The Belgian government would, by accepting
the propositions which are notified to her, sac-
rifice the honor of the nation while at the same
time betraying her duties toward Europe.
Conscious of the part Belgium has played for
more than eighty years in the civilization of the
world, she refuses to believe that the Independ-
ence of Belgium can be preserved only at the
expense of the violation of her neutrality.
If this hope were disappointed the Belgian
government has firmly resolved to repulse by
every means In her power any attack upon her
rights.

As you are aware. Germany has delivered to
Belgium an ultimatum expiring this morning.
Aug. 3, at 7 o'clock. No act of war having
taken place up to the present time, the council
of ministers has decided that there was not for
the moment reason to appeal to the guaranteeing
powers.
The minister of France said to me on this sub-
ject:
"Without being Instructed to make a declara-
tion by my government I believe, however,
judging by its known intentlona, that I can say
that. If the royal government should appeal to
the French government, as a power guaranteeing
her neutrality, we should Immediately respond
to her appeil; if this appeal was not formulated,
it la probable, unless of course the anxiety about
their own defense should lead them to take ex-
ceptional measures, tint they would wait before
intervening until Belgium had performed an act
of effective resistance."

The Hague, 4th August, 1914.
The minister for foreign affairs told me ves-
terday evening that the Dutch government would
perhaps be compelled In the present grave cir-
cumstances to Institute war buoyage on the
Scheldt.
Jhr. London read to me a draft note which
was to Inform mo of this decision.
I have the honor to transmit to you Inclosed
copy of the note in question, which was handed
to me yesterday evening.
As you will see, the Scheldt will only be closed
during the night. During the day navigation
will be possible, But only with Dutch pilots who
have been supplied with the necessary nautical
partlru ara for the subject. In this way the
interests of the defense of Netherlands territory
and those of the Belgian navigation to Antwerp
a.re protected.
You will further notice that the Netherlands
government asks that in the event of war buoy-
age being instituted, we should withdraw the
li?htships Wiclingen and Wandelaar, with a
view to facilitating the maintenance of the
neutrality of the Netherlands territory.
I must point out that the term "ascend the
Scheldt" employed in this note is not sufficient-
ly explicit; to go down the river will be per-
mitted in the same conditions. The minister
has just given me an assurance to that effect.
As soon as the Nether amis government have
come to a decision as to this exceptional meas-
ure, I shall be informed thereof.
About six hours are necessary In order to
carry out this war buoyage.
I shall at once telegraph you.
(Signed) BARON FALLON.
NOTE INCLOSED IN NO. 29.
The Dutch government might in the interest
of the maintenance of the neutrality of the
territory of the Netherlands be compelled to in-
stitute war buoyage on the Scheldt, that is to
say, to take away or modify a portion of the
existing buoys and beacons and of the light-
houses.
This war buoyage has, however, been de-
signed In such a way that after it is Instituted
It will still be possible to ascend the Scheldt
in order to reach Antwerp during the daytime,
but on'y with Dutch pilots who have been
provided with the requisite nautical Instructions
on the subject. In acting in this way, the Dutch
government are convinced that they will be
able to take account both of the interests of
the defense of Netherlands territory and of Bel-
gian navigation to Antwerp.
After the institution of war buoyage on the
Scheldt there would be no further reason for
entering Flushing sea channel during the night,
and as the presence of the "Wielingen" and
"Wandelaar" lightships is not indispensable for
navigation in daytime, the Dutch government
would attach great importance to the royal Bel-
gian government being good enough, in the
event of war buoyage being instituted by them,
to have the said vessels withdrawn with a view
to faci'itatlng the maintenance of the neutrality
of the Netherlands.

neutrality :
"We find ourselves in a state of legitimate
defense and necessity knows no law.
"Our troops have occupied Luxemburg and
have perhaps already penetrated into Belgium.
This is contrary to the provision of international
law. It is true that France has declared at
Brussels that she \vas resolved to respect the
neutrality of Bo giuni as long as her adversary
respected it. But we knew that France held
herself in readiness to invade Belgium. France
could wait. We could not. A French attack
on our flank in the region of the lower Ithine
might have become fatal. That is how we have
been forced to ignore the just claims of the
governments of Luxemburg iind Belgium. The
injustice which we are committing in this fash-
ion will be made good by us as soon as we shall
have attained our military objects.
"Any one who is threatened to such an extent
as we are and who is fighting for his supreme
welfare can only think of means of hacking his
way through: we find ourselves side by side with
Austria."
It should be pointed out that Herr von Beth-
mann-Hollweg acknowledges without the slightest

that she is committing an injustice toward us.

I have the honor of informing .vou that " the
prime minister made a fresh declaration wit.i
respect to the European crisis In the house of
commons this afternoon.
After having recalled the principal points set
forth yesterday by Sir Edward Grey, the prime
minister read the following documents:
1. A telegram from Sir F. Vi.liers, received
this morning, which communicates the tenor of
the second ultimatum addressed by the German
government to the Belgian government and which
was handed to us this morning. (See No. 27.)
2. A telegram by which you announce to nve
the violation of the frontier at Gemmenich, a
copy of which 1 had handed to Sir A. Nicholson.
3. A telegram addressed this morning by the
German government to their ambassador in Lon-
don with the evident object of leading public
opinion astray with respect to their attitude.
The following is the translation, according to
one of this evening's papers:
"Please dispel any mistrust that may subsist
on the part of the British government with re-
gard to our intentions by repeating most posi-
tively formal assurances that, even in the case
of armed conflict with Belgium, Germany will,
under no pretense whatever, annex Be.gian ter-
ritory.
"Sincerity of this declaration is borne out bv
the fact that we solemnly pledged our word
to Holland strictly to respect her neutrality.
"It is obvious that we could not profitably an-
nex Belgic territory without making at the same
time territorial acquisitions at expense of Hol-
land.
"1'lease impress upon Sir E. Grey that the
German army could not be exposed to French
attack across Belgium, which was planned ac-
cording to abso'utely unimpeachable information,
"Germany had consequently to disregard Bel-
gian neutrality, it being for her a question of
life or death to prevent a French attack through
Belgium."
Mr. Asquith then explained to the house that
in reply to this note of the German government
the British government had renewed their pro-
posal of last week, 1. e., to give on the subject
of Belgian neutrality the same assurances as
France had given the previous week, both to
England and to Belgium. The British cab'net
gave that of Berlin up to midnight to let them
know their reply.

The minister for foreign affairs has informed
the British ministers in Norway, Holland and
Be.giuiu. thut Great Britain expects that these
three kingdoms will resist the pressure of Ger-
many and maintain neutrality. They will be
supported in their resistance by England, who
in such a case is ready to co-operate with France
and Russia if such is the desire of these three
governments in offering an alliance to the said
governments to repel the employment of force
against them by Germany, and a guarantee for
the future maintenance of the independence and
the integrity of the three kingdoms. I pointed
out that Belgium is neutral in perpetuity. The
minister for foreign affairs replied: "It is for
the event of neutrality being violated."

NO. 38. LETTER ADDRESSED BY M. DAVIGNON,
MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS, TO THE BEL-
GIAN MINISTERS IN PARIS, LONDON, AND ST.
PETERSBURG.
Brussels, 4th August. 1914.
I have the honor of informing you of the order
of successive events which have during the last
few days characterized the relations of Belgium
and certain other powers which are guarantors of
her neutrality and of her independence.
On 31st July the British minister made a ver-
bal communication to me, according to which,
in anticipation of a European war. Sir Edward
Grey had asked the German and French govern-
ments separately whether each of them was re-
solved to respect the neutrality of Belgium, pro-
vided the said neutrality was not violated by
any other power.
By virtue of existing treaties. Sir Francis Vil-
liers was instructed to bring this step to the
knowledge of the Belgian government, adding
that Sir Edward Grey presumed that Belgium
was resolved to maintain her neutrality and tint
she expected that the other powers would re-
spect it.
I informed the British minister that we great-
ly appreciated this communication, which was in
accordance with our expectations, and I added
that Great Britain, as well as the other powers
who are guarantors of our independence, might
rest fully assured of our firm intention to maintain
our neutrality: this neutrality, however, did not
appear to us to be menaced by any of the states
with whom we are on the most cordial and the
most confidential terms. The government. I re-
marked, had given a proof of this resolution by
immediately taking all the military measures
which the situation appeared to them to require.
In his turn, the French minister stated on 1st
August in a verbal conversation that he was au-
thorized to make known to the Belgian govern-
ment that in case of an international conflict
the government of the repub.ic, in conformity
with its constant declaration, would respect the
territory of Belgium, and that they would only
be led to modify their attitude in case of the
violation of Belgian neutrality by another power.
I thanked his excellency and added that we
had already taken all the necessary measures to
assure our independence and our frontiers being
respected.
On 2d August in the morning I had a further
interview with Sir Francis Villiers, in the course
of which he informed me that he had on Satur-
day at an t-arly hour transmitted by telegraph
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
423
to his government our conversation of 31st July,
taking care to reproduce faithfully the solemn
declaration which he had obtained of the de-
termination of Belgium to defend her frontiers
from whatever side they might be invaded. He
added: "We know that France has given us
express assurances; but England has not yet re-
ceived any reply on this subject from Berlin."
This last fact did not provoke any particular
emotion in me, because the declaration of the
German government might appear to be super-
fluous in view of the existing treaties. Moreover,
the secretary of state for foreign affairs had
affirmed at the sitting of the reichstag com-
mittee on 29th April, 1913: "That the neutrality
of Belgium is conventionally established, and
that Germany intends to respect this treaty."
The same day Herr von Below Sa'.eske, the
German minister, called at the ministry for
foreign affairs at 7 p. m. and handed me the
annexed note (see No. 20). The German gov-
ernment granted the Belgian government a time
limit of twelve hours to communicate their de-
cision.
There could be no hesitation shown on the
subject of the reply called for by the surprising
proposal of the German government. You will
find a copy thereof inclosed herewith. (See No.
22.1
The ultimatum was to expire on 3d August
at 7 a. m. As at 10 o'clock no act of war had
taken place, the council of ministers decided that
for the moment there was no occasion to make
an appeal to the guarantor powers.
Toward noon the French minister questioned
me on this point and said to me:
"Although in view of the suddenness of the
events I am not yet instructed to make any
declaration, I think, nevertheless, judging by
the well-known intentions of my government,
that I can say that if the Belgian government
should appeal to the French government as a
power guaranteeing her neutrality they would
immediately respond to the appeal. If this ap-
peal were not formulated, it is probable — unless,
of course, the anxiety about their own defense
should lead them to take exceptional measures —
that they would wait before intervening until
Belgium had performed an act of effective re-
sistance."
I thanked M. Klobukowskl for the support
which the French government would presumably
lie good enough to offer, and I told him that the
Belgian government were not at the moment
making an appeal for the guarantee of the pow-
ers, and reserved to itself the right to decide
later on what it would be best to do.
Finally, on the 4th August at 6 o'clock in the
morning, the German minister made me the fol-
lowing communication (see No. 27).
The council of ministers is deliberating at the
present moment on the subject of the appeal
to the powers who are guarantors of our neu-
trality. (Signed) DAVIGNON.

MINISTER IN LONDON TO M. DAVIGNON, MIXIS-
TEB FOB FOREIGN' AFFAIRS.
London, 4th August, 1914.
England has this morning called upon Germany
to respect Belgian neutrality. The ultimatum
states that in view of the note addressed by Ger-
many to Belgium threatening the latter with the
force of arms if she should oppose the passage
of her troops, in view of the violation of Belgian
territory at Gemmenlch, in view of the fact
that Germany has refused to give England the
same assurance as that given last week by
France, FJng and must once more demand a
satisfactory reply on the subject of the resnpot
of Belgian neutrality and of a treaty of which
Germany is a signatory as well as England her-
self. The ultimatum expires at midnight.
In consequence of the ultimatum from Eng-
land to Germany the British proposition which
I transmitted to you by telegram is canceled for
the moment. (Signed) COMTE DE LALAING.

MINISTERS IN PAKIS, LONDON, AND ST. PETERS-

By my telegram of 4th August (see No. 38) I
have had the honor of setting forth the sequence
of events which have marked the international
relations of Belgium from 31st July to 4th Au-
gust. I added that the council of ministers was
examining the question to know whether Bel-
gium, whose territory had been invaded since
the morning, would make an appeal to the guar-
antee.
The council had just decided in favor of the
affirmative, when the British minister informed
me that the proposal which he had officially
brought before me, and in accordance with which
the British government was disposed to respond
to our appeal for guarantee, was for the mo-
ment canceled. (See No. 37.)
A. telegram from London informed me that
this change of attitude was caused by an ulti-
matum from England giving Germany a time
limit of ten hours to evacuate Belgian soil and
to respect the neutrality of Belgium. (See No.
39.) In the evening the king's government ad-
dressed, through the intermediary of their re-
spective representatives at Brussels, to France,
to Great Britain, and to Russia, the note a copy
of which you will find herewith. (See No. 40.)
As you will observe, Belgium appeals to Eng-
land, to France, to Russia to co-operate as guar-
antors in the defense of her territory and in the
maintenance in future of the independence and
the Integrity of her territory. She will assure the
defense of the fortified places.
Up to the present we do not know what re-
ception has been accorded to our appeal.

France. England, Austria and Russia declared
themselves guarantors of the treaty concluded
the same day between H. M. the king of the
Belgians and H. M. the king of the Nether-
lands. This treaty states: "Belgium shall form
an Independent and perpetually neutral state."
Belgium has fulfilled all her International obli-
gations, she has accomplished her duties in a
Spirit of loyal impartiality, she has neglected
no effort in order to maintain and to make re-
spected her neutrality.
Therefore, It is with painful emotion that tbe
king's government has learned that the armed
forces of the German army— a power guarantee-
Ing our neutrality— have penetrated into Belgian
territory, in violation of engagements which
have been undertaken by treaty.
It is our duty to protest indignantly against
an attack on International law which no act of
ours has provoked.
The king's government is firmly resolved to
repulse by all means in their power the attempt
against its nautrelity, and it recalls tbat by
virtue of article 10 of The Hague convention of
1907, relating to the rights and duties of nentril
powers and persons in the event of war on land,
the fact of a neutral power repulsing, even by
force, attacks on its neutrality cannot be con-
sidered as a hostile act.
Will you please make an urgent request for
an audience with the minister of foreign affairs
and read to bis excellency the present letter,
of which you will leave him a copy? If the
audience cannot be immediately granted to you,
you will make the communication in question in
writing. (Signed) DAVIGNON.

shipowners, and charterers is drawn to the dan-
ger and the difficulties to which they would ex-
pose themselves in falling to respect the effective
blockade of the belligerents in conveying contra-
band of war or military dispatches for the bellig-
erents (unless it is a question of the regular
postal service) or in executing for them other
transport services.
Any one rendering himself guilty of any acts
referred to above would expose himself to all the
consequences of the said acts and cannot obtain
with respect thereto any protection nor interven-
tion of the government of Holland.

the government of Holland will assure the main-

It would be advisable that the navigation
might be effected from thirty minutes before sun-
rise until thirty minutes after sunset, and that
the exchange of pilots should be effected at
Bath.
However desirous It is of consenting to the de-
mands of the Dutch government, the Belgian
government considers that It is necessary on ac-
count of the coast ports to maintain the light-
ships of Wielingen and of Wandelaar, as well as
the buoys of the Wielingen channel.

Brussels, 7th August, 1914.
Belgium hopes that the war will not be ex-
tended to central Africa. The government of
Belgian Kongo has received instructions to ob-
serve a strictly defensive attitude. You should
request the French (English) government to state
whether it is its intention to proclaim the neu-
trality of the French Kongo (British colonies in
the conventional basin of the Kongo) according
to article II. of the general act of Berlin. A
telegram from Boina announces that hostilities
are likely to occur between the French and Ger-
mans in the Ubanghi. (Signed) DAVIGNON.
NO. 58. LETTER ADDRESSED BY M. DAVIGNON. MIN-

Brussels, 7th August. 1914.
In continuation of my telegram of this morning
I have the honor of requesting you to place the
following information before the French (Brit-
ish) government:
Whilst instructing the governor general of the
Kongo to take measures of defense on the com-
mon frontiers of the Belgian colony, and the
German colonies of East Africa and Cameroons,
his majesty's government has asked this high of-
ficial to abstain from any offensive action against
these colonies.
In view of the civilizing mission common to the
colonizing nations, the Belgian government is de-
sirous, in the interests of humanity, not to ex-
tend the area of hostilities to Central Africa.
They will, therefore, not take the initiative of
inflicting such a misfortune on civilization in this
region, and the military forces which they pos-
sess there will only take action in case they are
compelled to repulse a direct attack against their
African possessions.
I shall be glad to know whether the govern-
ment of the republic (of his Britannic malesty)
shares this view of the matter, and. if the case
should arise, whether it is their intention, iu
view of the present conflict, to take advantage
of article II. of the general act of Berlin to
place those of their colonies which are included
in the conventional basin of the Kongo in a posi-
tion of neutrality.
I am addressing an identical communication to
your colleague in London (Paris).
(Signed) DAVIGNON.

Paris. 8th August, 1914.
I had the honor of speaking with the president
of the republic with regard to your telegram of
yesterday. I had received it in the evening and
had immediately communicated it to the ministry
for foreign affairs. They had asked for time tfl
consider the matter before replying to me.
M. Poincare promised me to discuss this ques-
tion today with the colonial minister. At first
sight he did not think there would, be any objec-
tion to proclaiming the neutrality of the French
Kongo, but he, nevertheless, reserved his reply.
He believes that acts of war have already taken
place in the Ubanghi. He took advantage of the
circumstance to remind me that the protection
which France accords to us extends also to our
colonies, and that we have nothing to fear.

MINISTER AT THE HAGUE TO M. DAVIGNON, MIN-
ISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The Hague, 9th August, 1914.
The minister for foreign affairs has requested
me to transmit to you the following information
because the American minister at Brussels re-
fuses to do so:
The fortress of Liege has been taken by assault
after a courageous defense. The German govern-
ment very deeply regret that, in consequence of
the attitude of the Belgian government toward
Germany, bloody conflicts have, arisen. Germany
is not coming to Belgium as an enemy: it is
only by the compulsion of events that she has
been compelled, owing to military measures taken
by France, to take the grave decision to enter
Belgium and to occupy Liege as a point of sup-
port for her subsequent military operations. After
the Belgian army, by its heroic resistance against
greatly superior forces, has maintained the hon-
or of its arms, the German government requests
the king of the Bslgians and the Belgian govern-
ment to spare Belgium the further horrors of
war. The government is ready to make any
agreement with Belgium that is consistent with
their arrangements (see No. 70) with France.
Germany once more gives the solemn assurance
that she has no intention of appropriating Bel-
clan territory and that such an intention is far
from her thoughts. Germany is still ready to
evacuate Belgium as soon as the state of war
will permit of her doing so.
The ambassador of the United States had re-
quested his colleague to undertake this attempt
at mediation. The minister for foreign affairs
accepted this mission without enthusiasm. I have
undertaken it to oblige him.

The Hague, 10th August, 1914.
In response to a telephonic call at 9 o'clock
last evening, I proceeded to the foreign office.
Jhr. London informed me that my German col-
league had just left his office and had handed
him a document which the representative of the
United States at Brussels had refused to trans-
mit to you.
The American diplomatist in charge of the
German legation at Brussels stated thnt he had
not received any special instructions from Wash-
ington to intervene officially with the Belgian
government in the interests of Germany.

The American minister consequently tele-
graphed to his colleague at The Hague, who in-
formed the German representative of Mr. Whit-
lock's refusal.
The first step was, therefore, taken by the
German government in approaching the United
States ambassador in Berlin.
Under these circumstances and in view of the
urgency of these matters, Herr von Muller re-
quested Jhr. Loudon to act as intermediary of
the German government toward you.
His excellency read me the German text of the
document. I did not conceal my astonishment at
this attempt at mediation and its poor chance of
success in this form, but solely in order to be
agreeable to the Dutch minister for foreign af-
fairs I promised to telegraph you immediately.
This I did yesterday.

The fortress of Liege has been taken by as-
sault after a courageous defense. The German
government very deeply regret that, in conse-
quence of the attitude of the Belgian govern-
ment toward Germany, bloody conflicts have
arisen. Germany is not coming to Belgium as
an en°my; it is only by the compulsion of events
that she has been compelled, owing to military
measures taken by France, to take the grave de-
cision to enter Belgium and to occupy Liege as
a point of support for her subsequent military
operations. After the Belgian army, by Its
heroic resistance against greatly superior forces,
has maintained the honor of its arms, the Ger-
man government request the king of the Bel-
gians and the Belgian government to spare Bel-
gium the further horrors of war. The govern-
ment are ready to make any agreement with
Belgium that is consistent with the arrange-
ments (see No. 70) with France. Germany once
more gives the solemn assurance that she has
no intention of appropriating Belgian territory
and that such an intention is far from her
thoughts. Germany is still ready to evacuate
Belgium as soon as the state of war will per-
mit of her doing so.
The ambassador of the United States here is
in agreement with this attempt at mediation by
his Brussels colleague.

A doubt exists as to the meaning of the word
"Auseinandersetzung" which you translate "ar-

idea of the German government it is a question
of arransements which we are supposed to have
made with France, or of the settlement of the

had formulated in the ultimatum of 2d August.
Faithful to her international duties, Belgium
can only repeat her reply to this ultimatum, more
especially as since 3d of August her neutrality

neutrality have loyal. y and immediately re-

The Belgian government are anxious that the
powers guaranteeing the neutrality of Belgium
should be acquainted with these documents. I

PETERSBURG.
Brussels, 10th August, 1914.
I have the honor of informing you of the cir-
cumstances which have led to the departure of
the Belgian representative from Luxemburg.
The general commanding the German troops
in the grand duchy of Luxemburg, on 8th Au-
gust, informed the German minister at Luxem-
burg of the desire of the military authorities to
bring about the departure of the Belgian rep-
resentative at the grand ducal court.
Herr von Buch addressed to M. Eyschen, pres-
ident of the government, a letter, the transla-
tion of which is as follows:
Luxemburg, 8th August, 1914.
Your Excellency: In consequence of the entire-
ly hostile attitude adopted by Belgium toward
Germany, the military authorities feel con-
strained to insist on the departure of the Bel-
gian minister from here.
His excellency, the commandant general, re-
quests Count van den Steen de Jehay to arrange
bis departure in such a manner that he may,
within twenty-four hours, enter Into personal re-
lations at Coblenz with Gen. von Ploetz on the
subject of his further journey. It Is on'y pos-
sible for him to depart via Treves-Coblenz.
(Signed) VON BUCH.
M. Eyschen transmitted this letter on the
.same day to Count van den Steen de Jebay In
the following terms-:
"Luxemburg, 8th August, 1914.
"I very deeply regret to have to transmit to
you herewith the copy of a letter from the Ger-
man minister informing me that the military
"authorities demand your departure.
"You will find the conditions thereof attached
thereto.
"Herr von Buch tells me that the military
authorities would rather advise the journey to
be undertaken by railway, because the journey
by motor car would expose you to be stopped too
often for purpose of investigation. But It is
left to you to choose.
"The German minister will call on me to re-
ceive your reply.
"I cannot tell you with what regret I am
carrying out the task imposed on me at this
moment. I shall never forget the very agree-
able relations which have existed between us
and I trust that your journey may be com-
pleted in the most favorable conditions.
"(Signed) EYSCHEN."
As the Belgian government considered that the
grand ducal government had had no choice in
its attitude and that the attitude which it had
f-een compelled to adopt did not. in any wav.
imply any Intentional discourtesy toward his maj-
esty and' Belgium, it decided that there was no
occasion under th^se circumstances to request
the grand ducal charge d'affaires to leave Bel-
slum! (Signed) DAVIGNON.

In the course of the interview which I had
this morning with M. de Margerie, I turned
the conversation to colonial affairs and to the
step which jou had instructed me to take by
your telegram and your dispatch of the 7th in-
stant.
This gentleman reminded me that the govern-
ment of the republic had addressed themselves
to Spain, which had not given any reply before
having received advice from England. It appears
that the latter continues not to give any reply.
M. de Margerie considers that, in view of
the present position, it is important to strike
Germany wherever she is vulnerable: he be-
lieves that tbis is also the opinion of Great
Britain, who will certainly have so'ne claims to
make good; France desires to resume possession
of that part of the Kongo which sue was com-
pelled to C'..'de in consequi-nee of the Agadir in-
cidents. My interlocutor told me that it would
not be difficult to obtain a success. I am, &c.,

London, 17th August. 1914.
In reply to your dispatch of 7th August I
have the honor of informing you that the Brit-
ish government cannot accede to the Belgian
proposition to respect the neutrality of the pos-
sessions of the belligerent powers in the con-
ventional basin of the Kongo.
The German troops in German East Africa
have already taken the offensive against the
British protectorate of Central Africa. On the
other hand, British troops have already at-
tacked the German harbor of Dar-es-Salaam,
where they have destroyed the wireless tele-
graph station.
Under these circumstances, even if the Brit-
ish government were persuaded <^f the political
and strategical utility of the Belgian proposi-
tion, they could not accept same.
The Lordon government believe that the
forces whicrh they are sending to Africa will
be sufficient to overcome all opposition. Thoy
will oxert every effort to prevent risings of the
native population.
Franc-: is of the same opinion as Great Brit-
ain in view of German activity, whiich has been
observed near Bonar and Ekododo.

NO. 78. TELEGRAM ADDRESSED BY M. DAVIGNON,
MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS, TO BARON FAL-
LON, BELGIAN MINISTER AT THE BAGDE.
Antwerp, 29th August, 1914.
Please acknowledge receipt to the Austrian
legation thr-iugh the intermediary of the min-
ister for foreign affairs of declaration of war by
Austrii-Hungary against Belgium and add the
following:
Belgium has always entertained friendly re-
la tlous \\ith all her neighbors without distinc-
tion. She has scrupulously fulfilled the duties
imposed upon her by neutrality. If she did not
consider that she could accept the proposals
made bv Germany, It was because the object of
the said proposals was the vlo atlon of the en-
gagements Germany had undertaken toward
Europe, which engagements were the funda-
mental conditions of tlu> creation of the king-
dom of Belgium. She did not believe that a na-
tion, however feeble it might be, could disown
its duties and sacrifice its honor whilst bowing
to force. Tne government awaited not only the
terms of the ultimatum, but the violation of her
territory by German troops, before appealing to
I' ranee and to England, guarantors of her neu-
trality by the same title as Germany and Austria-
Hungary, to co-operate In the name and by vir-
tue of the treaties in the defense of Belgian
territory.
By repelling the invaders by force of arms,
she has not even committed any act of host! ity
pursuant to the terms of article 10 of The Hague
convention relating to the rights and duties of
neutral powers.
Germany has herself acknowledged that her
aggression constitutes a violation of interna-
tional law, aid being unal/le to justify It she
invoked its strategic interest.
Belgium glvos an absolute denial to the state-
ment that Austrian and Hungarian subjects nave
suffered in Belgium treatment contrary to the
most primitive requirements of humanity.
The Belgian government, since the beginning
of hostilities, has given the strictest orders for
the protection of the persons and property of
Anstro-Hungarian subjects.

In continuation of the letter which your ex-
cellency was good enough to address to me ou
31st July, I have the honor of informing you
that my colleague of the finance department nas
acquainted the service of the customs with the
fact that the prohibitions laid down by the royal
decree of 30th July last only apply to exporta-
tion properly so called, and do not. therefore,
extend to merchandise regularly declared as in
transit on the occasion of their importation.
Moreover, when merchandise which is duty free
is declared to be for consumption, although it
is really intended for exportation, It is common-
ly the object of special declarations of free
entry, which are considered as transit docu-
ments. Finally, if it shou d happen that such
merchandise has been declared as for consump-
tion without restrictions, as if it were in effect
to remain in the country, the custom house
would still permit Its shipment abroad provided
it was duly established by the shipping docu-
ments, manifests, bills of lading, etc.. that It
was to be immediately exported in transit.
I may add that the exportation of grain to
which the aforesaid letter of the imperial lega-
tion referred was authorized on 1st August. 1

DAVIGNON, MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS, TO

Brussels, 17th August, 1914.
Monsieur le Comte: The blue book recently
published by the British government reproduces
under No. 122 (page 65) the text of a telegram
sent from Berlin on 31st July by Sir E. Goschen
to Sir Edward Grey, from which telegram I ex-
tract the following:
"It appears from what he (his excellency the
secretary of state) said that German' govern-
ment consider that certain hostile acts have been
already committed by Belgium. As an instance
of this, he alleges that a consignment of corn
for Germany had been placed under an embargo
already."
The fact to which the German secretary of
state for foreign affairs alluded in his Interview
with Sir Edward Gosehen and whifli lie consj«l-
430
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOE 1915.
ered as a hostile act on the part of Belgium no
doubt refers to the application of the royal de-
crees of the 30th July 'which provisionally pro-
hibited the exportation of certain products
from Belgium. As you will see from the state-
ment which I consider it my duty to make be-
low, the fact with which we are reproached has
by no means the character which has been at-
tributed to it in Germany.
Royal decrees dated 30th July, and published
in the Moniteur Beige on the following day,
provisionally prohibited the exportation of a
number of products, especially cereals, by all
the land and sea frontiers. Under date of 31st
July the German minister at Brussels pointed
out to me that the Antwerp custom house was re-
taining cargoes of grain intended for Germany,
which, having only been transshipped in our
port, were really only in transit. Herr von
Below Saleske demanded the free departure of
the vessels bearing these cargoes. The very
day we received this demand from the German
minister my department officially informed the
nuance ministry thereof, and on the second day
thereafter, the 2d of August, the latter in-
formed us that it had transmitted to the Bel-
gian custom house instructions giving full and
entire satisfaction to Germany.
I believe that I cannot do better. Monsieur
le Comte, than to place before you a copy of the
correspondence exchanged on this subject with
Herr von Below Saleske. You will see thereby
that nothing in our attitude could be considered
as indicating hostile dispositions toward Ger-
many: the measure taken by the Belgian govern-
ment at that moment only constituted simple
precautions, which every state has the right and
the duty to take in such exceptional circum-
stances.
It would be well if you would address to the
government of his Britannic majesty a communi-
cation so as to enlighten them as to the real
state of the case. (Signed) DAVIGNON.

(Telegram.) St. Petersburg. 11 (24) July. 1914.
Please transmit to the minister of foreign af-
fairs of Austria-Hungary the following:
The communication of the Austro-Hungarian
government to the powers the day after the pres-
entation of the ultimatum to Belgrade leaves
to the powers a delay entirely insufficient to un-
dertake any useful steps whatever for the
straightening out of the complications that have
arisen. To prevent the incalculable consequences,
equally disastrous for all the powers, which can
follow the method of action of the Austro-Hun-
garian government, it seems indispensable to
us that above all the delay given to fiervia to
reply should be extended. Austria-Hungary, de-
claring herself disposed to inform the pow-
ers of the results of the inquiry upon which the
imperial and royal government bases its accusa-
tions, should at least give them also the time
to take note of them (de s'en rendre compte). In
this case, if the powers should convince them-
selves of the well groundedness of certain of the
Austrian demands they would find themselves in
a position to send to the Servian government
consequential advice. A refusal to extend the
terms of the ultimatum would deprive of all val-
ue the step taken by the Austro-Hungarian gov-
ernment in regard to the powers and would l>e
in contradiction with the very bases of inter-
national relations.

NO. 6. TELEGRAM FROM HIS ROYAL HIGHNES.S THE
PRINCE REGENT OF SEHVIA TO HIS MAJESTY THE
EMPEROR.
Belgrade, 11 (24) July, 1914.
The Austro-Hungarian government yesterday
evening handed to the Servian government a note
concerning the "attentat" of Serajevo. Con-
scious of its international duties, Servia from
the first days of the horrible crime declared that
she condemned it, and that she was ready to
open an inquiry on her territory if the com-
plicity of certain of her subjects were proved
in the course of the investigation set afoot by
the Austro-Hungarian authorities. However, the
demands contained in the Austro-Hungarian note
are unnecessarily humiliating for Servia and in-
compatible with her dignity as an independent
state. Thus we are called upon in peremptory
tones for a declaration of the government in the
Official Gazette and an order from the sovereign
to the army wherein we should repress the hos-
tile spirit against Austria by reproaching our-
selves for criminal weakness in regard to our
perfidious actions. Then upon us is imposed
the admission of Austro-Hungarian functionaries
into Servia to participate with ours in the in-
vestigation and to watch over the execution of
the other conditions indicated in the note. We
have received a delay of forty -eight hours to ac-
cept everything, in default of which the lega-
tion of Austria-Hungary will leave Belgrade.
We are ready to accept the Austro-Hungarian
conditions which are compatible with the situa-
tion of an Independent state, as well as those
whose acceptance shall be advised us by your
majesty. All persons whpse participation in the
"attentat" shall be proved will be severely pun-
ished by us. Certain among these demands can-

not be carried out without changes in our legis-
lation, which requires time. We bate -been
given too short a delay. We can be attacked
after the expiration of the delay by the Austro-
Hungariau army, which is concentrating on our
frontier. It Is Impossible for us to defend our-
selves, and we supplicate your majesty to give
us your aid as soon as pos ib>. The pree:->us
good-will of your majesty, which has so often
shown itself toward us. makes us hope firmly
that this time again our appeal will be heard

THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
(Telegram.) Berlin, 11 (24) July, 1914.
Ah the morning papers, even those rare ones
which recognize the impossibility of Servia ac-
cepting the conditions laid down, welcome with
great sympathy the energetic tone adopted by
Austria. The semi-official Lokal-Anzeiger is par-
ticularly aggressive. It describes as superfluous
tho eventual recourse of Servia to St. Peters-
burg, to Paris, to Athens, and to Bucharest, and
concludes by saying that the German people will
breathe freely when it will have learned that
the situation in the Ba kan peninsula is at last
going to be cleared up. (Signed) BROXEWSKY.

(Telegram.) Paris. 11 (24) July. 1914.
The copy of the note officially handed to Bel-
grade has been communicated by the ambassador
of Austria to the French government. Later
the ambassador of Germany visited the minister
and • read to him a communication reproducing
the Austrian arguments, and indicating that in
case of refusal on the part of Servia Austria
would be obliged to have recourse to pressure,
and in case of need to miytiry measures: the
communication concluded by the remark that in
the opinion of Germany this question must be
settled directly between Austria and Servia,
and that it was in the interest of the powers
to limit the affair by abandoning it to the in-
terested parties. The gerant of the political
liepartment who was present at the interview
nsked the ambassador if the Austrian action
should be considered as an u'timatnm— in other
words if, in case Servia did not entirely bow
to the Austrian demards, hostilities were inevi-
table. The ambassador avoided a direct reply
by alleging the absence of instructions.

Have communicated its contents to the minister
of foreign affairs. He told me that the English
fovernment had likewise a^ked him to urge upon
'ienna the extension of the de ay of the ultima-
tum. He bad communicated _J:his step tele-
graphically to Vienna. He is going to do as much
in regard to our step, (demarche,) but he fears
that in consequence of the absence of Berchtold
at Ischl, and seeing the lack of time, his tele-
grams will remain without result. He Ivis be-
sides doubts upon the opportuneness of Austria
yielding at the last moment, and he asks if that
could not increase the assurance of Servia. 1
replied that a great power like Austria could
yie d without any injury to its prestige, and
brought forward all the similar arguments pos-
sible. However, I was not able to obtain more
precise promises. Even when I allowed it to

instructed the ambassador of England at Vi-
enna to support our demarche concerning the
extension of the delay of the ultimatum. He
told me at the same time that the Austrian
ambassador had come to see him and had ex-
plained that the character of an ultimatum
must rot be attributed to the Austrian note —
it must be considered as a demarche which, in
the case of absence of reply or in case of insuf-
ficient reply within the term fixed, would have
as a eonscouence the rupture of diplomatic rela-
tions and the immediate departure from Belgrade
of the minister of Austria-Hungary, without car-
rying in its train, however, the Immediate cora-
mencoirert of hostilities — Grey added that in
consequence of this explanation he had In-
structed the ambassador of England at Vienna
that in case it should be too late to raise the
question of the extension of the delay of the
ultimatum, lhat of the stay (arrete) of hostili-
ties might perhaps serve as a basis of di«cua-

NO. 18. VERBAL NOTE HANDED BY THE AMBASSA-

It comes to us from an authoritative source
that the news spread by some journals, accord-
ing to which the demarche of the government
of Austria-Hungary at Belgrade had been made
at the instigation of Germany, is absolutely
false. The German government had no knowl-
edge of the text of the Austrian note before it
was handed in, and has not exercised any influ-
ence on its contents. It is a mistake to at-
tribute to Germany a threatening attitude.
Germany naturally supports, as ally of Aus-
tria, the claims, in its opinion legitimate, of the
cabinet of Vienna against Servia.
Above all, she desires, as she has already
declared at the commencement of the Austro-
Servian difference, that this conflict remain
locali_ed.

Today a morning journal published. In a
form not entirely exact, the declarations of yes-
terday of the ambassador of Germany, follow-

to this demarche the character of a threat. The
ambassador of Germany, very much moved by
these divulgations, today visited the gerant of
the political department to inform him that his
words had in no way the minatory character
which were attributed to them. He declared
that Austria had presented its note to Servia
without a precise understanding with Berlin, but
that nevertheless Germany approved The point
of view of Austria, and that certainlv "the
arrow once sent" (these are his own words),
Germany con d not allow herself to be guided

the Austrian note, but that it entirelv sup-
ported the Austrian demarche. The ambassador
at the same time asked if England could con-
sent to act in St. Petersburg in a spirit of con-
ciliation. Grey replied that that was complete-
ly impossible. The minister added tliat so long
as the complications only existed between Aus-
tria and Servia, Enslish interests were on'y in-
directly engaged, but that he must foresee that
Austrian mobilization would have as a conse-
quence the mobilization of Russia, and that from
that moment they would be in presence of a
situation in which all the powers would be in-
terested. England reserved in this case a com-
plete liberty of action.

there would arise acute danger of a general
war, and that he only saw one single means of
a pacific solution; that in presence of the Aus-
trian and Russian mobilizations, Germany,
France, Italy, and England should abstain from
an immediate mobilization and propose before-
hand their good offices. Grey told me that this

NO. 25. THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO
THE AMBASSADOR IN AUSTRIA-HUNGARY.
(Telegram.) St. Petersburg, 13 (26) July. 1914.
I had today a long conversation in a friendly
tone with tbe ambassador of Austria-Hungary.
After having examined with him the tone of
the demands addressed to Servia, I pointed out
that, apart from the scarcely clever form (la
forme pen habile) under which they are pre-
sented, some among them are absolutely inexe-
cutable, even in case the Servian government
should declare its willingness to accept them.
Thus, for instance, the points (1) and (2) could
not be can-led out without an amendment of
the Servian laws on the press and on assoMa-
tions, for which the consent of the skupshtina
could with difficulty be obtained; as for the
execution oi points (4) and (5) it might produce
consequences highly dangerous, and even create
the danger of acts of terrorism directed against
the members of the royal house and against
Pachitch. which could not enter into the views
of Austria. In regard to the other points it
seems to me that with certain changes in the
details it would not be difficult to discover a
ground of agreement if the accusations contained
therein were confirmed by sufficient proofs.
In the interest of tbe preservation of peace,
which, according to Szapary's statements, is
precious to Austria in the same degree as to all
the powers, it would be necessary to put a stop
as soon as possible to the strained situation
of the moment. With this object it would seem
to me very desirable that the ambassador of
Austria-Hungary should be authorized to enter
with me into an exchange of private views, with
the object of an alteration (remaniement) in com-
mon of som^ clauses of the Austrian note of 10
(23) July. This proceeding wou'd perhnps permit
of finding a formula which should be acceptable
for Servia while at the same time giving sntis-
f action to Austria as to the bRsis of its demands.
Be so good as to have a prudent and friendly ex-
planation in the sense of this telegram with the
minister of foreign affairs.
Communicated to the ambassadors in Germany,
in France, in England, and in Italy.

"Austria has declared to Russia that she does
not seek territorial acquisitions, and that she
does not threaten the integrity of Servia. Her
only object Is to Insure her own tranquillity.
Consequently it rests with Russia to avoid war.
Germany foe.s herself at one with France In her
keen desire to preserve the peace, and strongly
hopes that France will use her influence :it St.
Petersburg in the direction of moderation."
The minister observed that Germany could on
her side take similar steps at Vienna, especially
In view of the conciliatory spirit which Servia
had shown. The ambassador answered that that
was not possible, in view of the resolution taken
not to interfere In the Austro-Servian conflict.
Thereupon the minister asked if the four powers
—England, Germany, France, and Italy — were
not able to take steps at St. Petersburg and Vi-
enna, since tike affair reduced itself in essentials
to a conflict between Russia and Austria. The
ambassador pleaded the absence of instructions.
Finally, the minister refused to adhere to the
German proposal. (Signed) SEVASTOPOULO.

immediately after my return to Paris. Both con-
firmed to me the details concerning the steps (de-
marches) taken by the ambassadors of Germany
which Sevastopoulo communicated to you in his
telegrams. This morning Baron von Schoen con-
firmed in writing his declaration of yesterday,
namely: (1) Austria has declared to Russia that
she does not seek acquisitions and does not at-
tack the integrity of Servia. Her only object is
to insure her own tranquillity. (2) Consequently,
It depends upon Russia whether war is averted.
(3) Germany and France, completely united in
the ardent desire not to break the pence, must
influence Russia in the direction of moderation.
Baron von Schoen laid special stress on the ex-
pression of the united view (la solidarite) of Ger-
many and France. It is the strong conviction of
the minister of justice that the aforesaid de-
marches of Germany Irive for the obvious object
to disunite (desunir) Russia and France, to draw
the French government into the representations
made at St. Petersburg, and thus to compromise
our ally in our eyes: finally, in case of war. to
throw the responsibility, not on Germany, which

would be to force Servia to give the necessary
guarantees. The minister having asked in what

he was acquainted with this proposal, and that
he shared the opinion of Pourtales that, since
Szapary had begun this conversation, he might
very well continue It. He will telegraph in this

Today, before my visit to the minister of for-

the ambassador of France, who had endeavored
to make him accept the English proposal relative
to action in favor of peace, action which would
be exercised simultaneously at St. Petersburg
and at Vienna by England, Germany, Italy, and
France. Cambon proposed that these powers ad-
vise Vienna in the following terms: "To abstain
from any act which might aggravate the situa-
tion at the present hour." By adopting this
veiled formula there would be no necessity of
mentioning the necessity of abstaining from an
invasion of Servia. Jagow opposed to this pro-
posal a categorical refusal, and that in desrvte
of the Insistence of the ambassador, who laid
stress as a good argument for the proposal the
mixed grouping of the powers, thanks to which
would be avoided the opposition of the alliance
to the entente, of which Jagow had himself so
often complained. (Signed) BRONEWSKY.

Your royal highness in addressing me in a mo-

regard to the sentiments which animate me in
his regard and in regard to my cordial sympathy
for the Servian people.
My most serious attention is drawn by the
present situation and my government is devoting
itself with all its force to smoothing out the
present difficulties. I have no doubt that your
highness and the royal government wish to facili-
tate this task by neglecting nothing to arrive at
a solution which would prevent the horrors of a
new war while at the same time safeguarding
the dignity of Servia.
So long as there is the least hope of avoiding
bloodshed all our efforts must tend toward this
object. If. despite our most sincere desire, we
do not succeed, your highness may be assured
that in no case will Russia disinterest herself in
regard to the fate of Servia.

NO. 41. THE AMBASSADOR IN AUSTRIA-HUNGARY TO
THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
(Telegram.) Vienna, 14 (27) July. 1914.
The minister of foreign affairs is absent. Dur-
ing a prolonged conversation which I had today
with Macchio I drew in altogether friendly terms
his attention to the unfavorable impression that
had been produced in Russia by the presentation
by Austria to Servia of demands absolutely in-
acceptable by any independent state, no matter
how small. I added that this proceeding, which
might bring about complications of the least de-
sirable kind, had provoked in Russia a profound
surprise and general reprobation. It must be
supposed that Austria, under the influence of the
assurances of the German representative at Vien-
na, who during all this crisis has played the role
of an instigator, counted upon the probability of
the localization of its conflict with Servia and on
the possibility of delivering a serious blow to
this latter with impunity. The declaration of the
imperial government regarding the impossibility
for Russia of remaining indifferent In the face of
such procedure has provoked here a deep impres-
sion. (Signed) SCHEBEKO.
NO. 42. THE AMBASSADOR IN ENGLAND TO THE

(Telegram.) London, 14 (27) July. 1914.
Grey h:is just replied to the ambassador of Ger-
many, who had called to Question him regarding
the possibility of action at St. Petersburg, that
this action should be exercised at Vienna and
that the cabinet of Berlin would be best qualified
to exercise it. Grey pointed out at the same
time that the Servian reply to the Austrian note
exceeded by its moderation and its spirit of con-
ciliation anything that could have been expected.
Grey added that he concluded that Russia had
advised Belgrade to give a moderate reply and
that he thought that the Servian reply could
serve as the basis of a pacific and acceptable so-
lution of the question.
Under these conditions, continued Grey, if Aus-
tria, despite this reply, began hostilities, she
would prove her intentions of destroying Servia.
The question placed on this ground would pro-
duce a situation which might bring about a war
in which all the powers would be involved.
Grey, in conclusion, declared that the English
government was very sincerely disposed to col-
laborate with the German government so long as
it was a question of the preservation of peace,
but that in the contrary case England reserved

THE AMBASSADOR IN ENGLAND.
(Telegram.) St. Petersburg. 15 (28) July. 1914.
My conversations with the ambassador of Ger-
many confirm my impressions that Germany is
rather favorable to the intransigeance of Austria.
The cabinet of Berlin, which might have been
able to arrest the whole development of the
crisis, seems to exercise no action upon its ally.
The ambassador finds the reply of Servia inade-
quate.
This German attitude is altogether alarming.
It seems to me that, better than any other pow-
er, England would be in a position to attempt
still to act in Berlin to engage the German gov-
ernment to the necessary line of action. It is at
Berlin that without doubt is to be found the key
of the situation. (Signed) SAZONOF.

friendly terms how much it was desirable to find
a solution which, while consolidating the good
relations between Austria-Hungary and Russia,
should give to tho Austro-Hungarlan monarchy se-
rious guarantees for its future relations with Ser-
via.
1 called the attention of Count Berchtold to all
the dangers to the peace of Europe which would
be brought about by an armed conflict between
Austria-Hungary and Servia.
Count Bcrcbtold replied that he understood per-
fectly well the seriousness of the situation and
the advantages of a frank explanation with
the cabinet of St. Petersburg. He to'.d me that
on the other hand the Austro-Hungarian govern-
ment, which had only reluctantly decided upon
the energetic measures which it had taken
against Servia, could now neither withdraw nor
enter upon any discussion of the terms of the
Austro-Hungnrian note.
Count Berchtold added that the crisis had be-
come so acute and that public opinion had been
excited to such a degree that the government,
even if It desired, could no longer consent to it.
all the less, he said to me, because the very re-

In view of the -hostilities between Austria-Hun-

should urgently undertake mediatory action and
that the military action of Austria against Ser-
via should bo immediately suspended, otherwise
mediation would only serve as a pretext to de-

would meanwhile give to Austria the possibility

THE CHARGE D'AFFAIRES IN GERMANY.
(Telegram.) St. Petersburg. 16 (29) July, 1914.
The ambassador of Germany informs me in the
name of the chancellor that Germany has not
ceased to exercise in Vienna a moderating in-
fluence, and that she will continue this action
even after the declaration of war. Up to this
morning there was no news that the Austrian
armies had crossed the Servian frontier. I re-
quested the ambassador to transmit to the chan-
cellor my thanks for the friendly tenor q/ this
communication. I Informed him of the military
measures taken by Russia, none of which. I said
to him. was directed against Germany. I added
that they did not indicate aggressive measures
against Austrli-Hune-ry. these measures being
explained by the mobilization of th° greatest part
of the Austro-Hungirian army. The nmbissador
pronouncing himself in favor of direct explana-
tions between the cabinet of Vienna and us, I
replied that I was quite In favor of that, provid-
ed the counsels of the cabinet of Berlin, of
which he spoke, should find an echo In Vienna.
At the same time I drew attention to the fact
that we were altogether in favor of accepting the
plan of a conference of the four powers, a plan
with which it seemed Germany was not entirely
in sympathy.
I said that, in my opinion, the best means of
taking advantage of all the methods likely to
produce a pacific solution would consist in a par-
allel action of the pourparlers for a conference of
four of Germany, France, England and Italy, and
of direct contact between Austria-Hungary and
Russia, somewhat similar to what had taken
place during the most critical moments of the
crisis of last year.
I told the ambassador that, after the conces-
sions made by Servia. a ground of compromise on
the questions that remained open would not be
difficult to find on condition, that is, of a certain
good-will on the part of Austria, and on condi-
tion that all the powers use all their Influence in
the direction of conciliation.

Upon my question whether he had a reply from
Vienna regarding your proposal of private pour-
parlers at St. Petersburg, the secretary of state
replied negatively.
He declares that It is very difficult for him to
influence Vienna, especially openly. Speaking to
Cambou, he, in fact, added that in case of a too
evident pressure Austria would hasten to put
Germany in presence of an accomplished fact.
The secretary of state said he had received to-
day a telegram from Pourtales from which h»-
gathered that, even more than at the beginning,
you are disposed to find a compromise acceptable
to all. I replied that probably you had been from
the commencement in favor of a compromise, of
course on the condition that It should be accept-
able not only to Austria but equally to us. He
told me next that It appeared that we had begun
to mobilize on the Austrian frontier and that he
feared that this would make more difficult for
Austria the possibility of coming to an under-
standing with us, particularly as Austria was
only mobilizing against Servia and was making
no preparations on our frontier. I replied that
according to the information which I had Aus-
tria was equally mobilizing on our frontier and
that consequently we must take similar meas-
ures. I added that the measures which we have
probably taken on our side were In no wise di-
rected against Germany.

situation in effect In the following terms: Au»

Servian military communications or even of Ser-
vian territory. Germany is supporting Austria.
The maintenance of peace depends entirely upon
Russia, because it is a question of an affair which
must be "localized" between Austria and Servia.
that is to say, of the punishment of the preced-
ing policy of Servia and of the guarantees for the
future. From this Germany concludes that a
moderating action must be exercised at Peters-
burg. This sophistry has been refuted in Paris
as in London. In Paris Baron von Schoen in
vain tried to draw France into united action with
Germany upon Russia in favor of the mainte-
nance of peace. The same efforts have been
made in London. In the two capitals the reply
was made that this action must be exercised in
Vienna, for the excessive demands of Austria, its
refusal to discuss the exceptional reservations of
Servia, and the declaration of war threatened to
provoke a general war. France and England can-
not exercise a moderating influence upon Russia,
who up to the present has given proof of the
greatest moderation, especially in urging -upon
Servia to accept all that was possible of the
Austrian note. Today Germany seems to aban-
don the idea of an action upon Russia alone and
inclines toward mediatory action at Petersburg
and Vienna, but at the same time Germany, like
Austria, is seeking to drag the matter out -to
lengths. Germany opposes the conference with-
out indicating any other practical manner of act-
ing. Austria is carrying on manifestly dilatory
pourparlers at Petersburg. At the same time she
is taking active measures, and if these measures
are tolerated her pretensions will increase pro-
portionately. It is very desirable that Russia
lend all her assistance to the plan of mediation
which Sir Edward Grey will present. In the con-
trary case Austria, under pretext of "guaran-
tees," might in effect change the territorial sit-
uation of eastern Europe.

rect pourparlers between Russia and Austria had
failed, and that the correspondents of the news-
papers telegraphed from St. Petersburg that Rus-
sia was mobilizing against Austria in conse-
quence of mobilization by the latter. Grey said
that in principle the German government had de-
clared in favor of mediation, but that it found
difficulties in regard to the form. Grey insisted
upon the German government indicating the form
which, according to the opinion of Germany,
would permit the four powers to exercise their
mediation to n^oid war: seeing the consent of
France, Italy and England had been given, me-
diation might take place only in case Germany
would consent to range herself on the side of

Vivian! has just confirmed to me the full de-

accordance with us. This resolution is supported
by the most extended circles and by all parties,
including the radical socialists, who have x>re-
sented to him a declaration expressing the ab-
solute confidence and the patriotic dispositions
of the group. Upon his arrival in Paris, Vivian!
telegraphed urgently to London that, in view of
the cessation of direct pourparlers between Pe-
tersburg and Vienna, it was necessary that the
cabinet of London should renew as soon as pos-
sible under one or another form its proposal for
the mediation of the powers. Before seeing me
Viviani received today the ambass-idor of Ger-
many, who renewed the assurance of the pacific
tendencies of Germany. Viviani having pointed
out that if Germany desired peace she should
hasten to adhere to the British proposal of medi-
ation. Baron von Schoen replied that the words
"conference" or "arbitration" frightened Austria.
Viviani replied that it was not a question of
words, and that it would be easy to find another
form of mediation. According to Baron vou
Schoen, in order that the negotiations between
the powers should succeed, it would be necessary
to ascertain what Austria was going to demand
from Servia. Viviani replied that the Berlin
cabinet might very easily inquire about this from
Austria, but that in the meantime the Servian
note of reply might serve as a basis of discus-
sion; he added that France was still sincerely
desirous of peace, but that she was at the same
time determined to act in full harmony with her
allies and friends, and that he (Baron von
Schoen) could have convinced himself that this
resolution would meet with the liveliest approval
of the country. (Signed) ISVOLSKY.

the expose of the facts of the last days — the
Austrian ultimatum, the Servian reply, the ef-
forts of the royal government to do everything
compatible with the dignity of the state to avoid
war, and finally the armed aggression of the
more powerful neighbor against Servia, on whose
side is found Montenegro. Passing to the exami-
nation of the attitude of the powers in presence
of the conUiet, the prince laid stress first. of all
on the sentiments which animate Russia and
on the very gracious communication of his maj-
esty the emperor saying that In no case will
Russia abandon Servia. At each mention of the
name of his imperial majesty and of Russia a
formidable and feverish "jivio" shook the session
hall. The marks of sympathy on the part of
France and England were also taken note of
separately and provoked "jivios" of approbation
on the part of the deputies. The speech from

Servia, Russia undertakes to cease her military
preparations."

solution. In accordance with a desire which had
been expressed to him by his majesty the emper-
or of Russia his majesty the emperor of Ger-
many in accord with England had applied him-
self to filling a mediator role with the cabinets
of Vienna and St. Petersburg, when Russia,
without awaiting the result of this, proceeded to
the complete mobilization of her forces on land
and sea. As a consequence of this threatening
measure, motived by no military "presage" on
the part of Germany, the German empire found
itself In face of a grave and imminent danger.
If the imperial government had failed to safe-
guard herself against this peril it would have
compromised the safety and the very existence
of Germany. Consequently the German govern-
ment saw itself forced to address to the govern-
ment of his majesty the emporor of all the Rus-
sias an insistence on the cessation of the said
military acts. Russia having refused to accede
to this demand, and having manifested by this
refusal that its action was directed against Ger-
many, I have the honor to make known to your
excellency the following:
His majesty the emperor, my august sovereign,
in the name of the empire', taking up the chal-
lenge, considers himself In a state of war with
Russia. (Signed) F. POURTALES.

NO. 77. COMMUNIQUE OF THB MINISTEB OF FOR-
EIGN AFFAIBS CONCEBNING THE EVENTS OF THE
LAST DAYS.
20th July (2d Aug.), 1914.
An expose disfiguring the events of the last
days having appeared in the foreign press, the
minister of foreign affairs believes it his duty to
publish the following apercu of the diplomatic
pourparlers during the time above Indicated:
The 10 (23) July (old style), the minister of
Austria-Hungary at Belgrade presented to the
minister president of Servia a note In which the
Servian government was accused of having fa-
vored the pan-Servian movement, which had cul-
minated in the assassination of the heir of the
Austro-Hungarian throne. In consequence Aus-
tria-Hungary called upon the Servian government,
not only to condemn in a solemn form the above-
mentioned propaganda, but also to take, under
control of Austria-Hungary, a series of measures
tending to the discovery of the plot, to the pun-
ishment of the Servian subjects having partici-
pated in it, and to the prevention in future of any
attentat on the soil of the kingdom. A delay of
fort.v-eleht ho'irs was flxod for the Servian gov-
ernment's reply to the above note.
The Imperial government, to which the ambas-
sador of Austria-Hungary at St. Petersburg had
communicated the text of the note seventeen
hours after Its delivery at Bclerade. hiving tak'
en note of the demands contained therein, saw
that among the number were gome that It was
entirely Impossible to comply with, while others

were presented In a form Incompatible with the
dignity of an Independent state. Finding Inad
mlssible the diminution of the dignity of Servia
contained In these demands as well as the tend-
ency of Austria-Hungary to assure her preponder-
ance In the Balkans, shown by these very exigen-
cies, the Russian government pointed out In
the most friendly fashion to Austria-Hungary
that It would be desirable to submit to a new
examination the points contained In the Austro-
Hungarlan note. The Austro-Hungarian govern-
ment did not believe It possible to consent to a
discussion of the note. The moderating action
of the other powers at Vienna was likewise not
crowned with success.
Although Servia had condemned the crime and
had shown herself ready to give satisfaction to
Austria in a measure which exceeded the expec-
tations not only of Russia but also of the other
powers, the minister of Austria-Hungary at Bel-
grade judged the Servian reply Inadequate and
left that town.
Recognizing the exaggerated character of the
demands presented by Austria. Russia had pre-
viously declared that It would be impossible for
her to remain indifferent, without at the same
time refusing to employ all her efforts to obtain
a pacific issue which would be acceptable to
Austria and would satisfy her amour-propre as a
great jx>wer. At the same time Russia firmly es-
tablished that she admitted a pacific solution of
the question only In a measure which would not
imply the diminution of the dignity of Servia as
an independent state. Unfortunately all the ef-
forts made by the Imperial government In this
direction remained without effect. The Austro-
Hungurian government, after evading (s'etre de-
robe) every conciliatory Intervention of the pow-
ers in its conflict with Servia. proceeded to
mobilize, officially declared war on Servia, and
the following day bombarded Servia. The mani-
festo which accompanied the declaration of war
openly accused Servia of having prepared and
executed the crime of £erajevo. Such an accu-
sation of a crime of the common law against a
whole people and a whole government drew to
Servia by its evident inanity the large sympa-
thies of all circles of European society.
As a consequence of this method of acting on
the part of the Austro-Hungarian government,
despite the declaration of Russia that she could
not remain indifferent to the lot of Servia, the
imperial government judged It necessary to or-
der the mobilization of the military districts of
Kiev. Odessa. Moscow and Kazan. Such a de-
cision was necessary because after the date of
the handing of the Austro-Hungarian note to the
Servian government and the first steps of Russia
five days had passed and meanwhile the cabinet
of Vienna hnd made no step to meet our pa-
cific efforts— on the contrary the mobilization of
half of the Austro-Hungarian army had been de-
creed.
The German government was Informed of the
measures taken by Russia. It was at the same
time explained to It that these measures were
only the consequence of the Austrian armaments,
and in no wise directed against Germany. At
the same time the imperial government declared
that Russia was ready to continue the pourpar-
lers in view of a pacific solution of the conflict,
either by means of direct negotiations with the
cabinet of Vienna, or. following the proposal of
Great Britain, by means of a conference of the
fonr creat powers not directly Interested, namely.
England, France. Germany, and Italy.
However, this attempt of Russii equally failed
Austria-Hungary declined a further exchange of
views with us. and the cabinet at Vienna evad-
ed participation lu the prelected conference of
the powers.
Nevertheless Russia did not discontinue her ef-
forts in favor of peace. Replying to th» question
of the ambassador of Germany, under what condi-
tions we would still consent to suspend our arma-
ments, the minister of for*>ien affairs declared
th^t th"«» conditions wo'ild bo the recognition bv
Austria-Hungary thnt the Austro-Servlan ques-
tion had taken the character of a European ques-
tion, and the declaration of this same power that
she would consent not to Insist on demands in-
compatible with the sovereign rights of Servia.
The proposal of Russia was judged by Germany
to be Inacceptable for Austria. Simultaneously
there was received at St. Petersburg the news of
the proclamation of the general mobilization by
Austria-Hungary.
At the same time hostilities continued on Ser-
vian territory and Belgrade was again bombirded.
The failure of our pacific proposals ob.lged us
to Increase the military measures of precaution.
The cabinet of Berlin having addressed to us
a question on this subject. It was replied that
Russia was forced to commence arming to safe-
guard herself against all eventualities.
While taking this measure of precaution, Rus-
sia none the less did not discontinue to seek
with all her powers an Issue from the situation
and declared herself ready to accept any method
of solution of the conflict which would meet the
conditions posed by us.
Notwithstanding this conciliatory communica-
tion, the German government. 18 (31> July, ad-
dressed to the Russian government a demand for
the suspension of her military measures by mid-
day of the 19th July (1st August) threatening In
the contrary case to proceed to a general moblll-
Next day, 19th July (1st August), the ambas-
sador of Germany transmitted to the minister of
foreign affairs in the name of his government
the declaration of war.
NO. 78. THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO
THE REPRESENTATIVES OF HIS MAJESTY THE
BMPEKOR ABROAD.
(Telegram.)
St. Petersburg. 20th July (2d August). 1914.
It Is absolutely clear that Germany Is already
endeavoring to throw upon us the responsibility
of the rupture. Our mobilization was provoked
by the enormous responsibility which we should
have Incurred If we had not taken all precaution-
ary measures at a moment when Austria, con-
fining herself to pourpar ers of a dilatory char-
acter, was bombarding Belgrade and proceeding
to a general mobilization.
His majesty the emperor had undertaken, by
giving his personal word to the emperor of Ger-
many, not to undertake any aggressive act so
long as tho iwurparlers with Austria should •con-
tinue. After such a guarantee, and after all
the proofs of Russia's love for peace, Germany
could not and had no right to doubt our dec-
laration that we would accept with Joy anv pa-
cific Issue compatible with the dignity and Inde-
pendence of Servia. Another Issue, while being
completely incompatible with our own dignity,
would certainly have shaken European equilib-
rium by insuring the hegemony of Germany.
This European, even world-wide, character of
the conflict Is infinitely more Important than the
pretext which has created It. By Its decision
to declare war upon us at a moment when the
negotiations between the powers were stl'.l being
pursued, Germany has assumed a heavy responsi-
bility. (Signed) SAZONOF.

ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
FRENCH YELLOW BOOK.
The French ministry of foreign affairs made
public Nov. 30 a "Yellow Book" dealing with the
causes of the war. It contains much that ap-
pears in the various official documents issued by
the other parties to the great controversy and
•which are printed in full on preceding pages of
this volume. The book places the blame lor th
war entirely on the shoulders of Germany and
Austria-Hungary. It says:
"From a perusal of the six chapters of the Yel-
low Book, which are d«voted to the diplomatic
negotiation.* carried on in the month of July,
there are to be deduced, and supported by evi-
dence, the following impressions: That the com-
bination between Austria and Germany had de-
cided upon war and that on four successive oc-
casions this combination endeavored to precipi-
tate war by violent proceedings, the purpose of
which was to prevent or to insure the failure of
all efforts at conciliation.
"The tir.st of these proceedings was the Aus-
trian ultimatum to Servia on July 24, which was
the origin of this conflict. In spite of the fact
that the Belgrade government offered, for the
prosecution of the assassins of the Austrian
archduke, every facility compatible with its dig-
nity, the cabinet of Vienna summoned the gov-
ernment at Belgrade not only to disavow all com-
plicity with the crime of Sarajevo, but, further-
more, to permit foreign functionaries to seek
the authors of this crime on Servian territory.
"Vienna gave Servia only two days to accept
these Draconian conditions. In spite of the fact
that M. von Jagow, the German minister of for-
eign affairs, claimed to be in ignorance of the
contents of this note (which was nevertheless
known to the president of the Bavarian council)
Germany immediately and without restriction
united herself with her ally.
"The German ambassador came to the Quay
d'Orsay (the French foreign office in Paris) -and
endeavored to carry through a proposal which he
represented as being peaceful, but which was in
reality threatening. He declared that the con-
flict should remain 'localized* and that any In-
tervention on the part of a third power would
result in incalculable consequences.
"This was tantamount to letting it be under-
stood that Austria should have every liberty to
crush Servia and that Germany would have re-
course to arms to prevent Russia from succoring
Servia.
"Confronted with this situation, the first
thought of the powers forming the triple entente
was to gain time to examine the conflict with
greater care and if possible to make it less
acute. The powers therefore asked that Vienna
extend the period allowed Servia for her answer.
"Then Austria became fearful that she would
be left without a pretext of war and endeavored
to ward off this danger by another expedient.
She declined or avoided the request for an ex-
tension and declared insufficient the Servian an-
swer, which was given to her in good time and
which admitted and accepted her principal de-
mands.
"Austria thereupon ordered her minister at
Belgrade to leave the Servian capital (July 26)
and diplomatic relations with Servia were sev-
ered.
"With this development the situation became
considerably aggravated. The powers of the
triple entente, however, still endeavored to bring
about a settlement. In the meantime M. von
Schonn, the German ambassador in Paris, came
to the Quay d'Orsay and -demanded that France
exert her influence on Russia in a peaceful sense,
but he refused to exert similar peaceful influence
at Vienna.
"England proposed to avoid a crisis by submit-
ting the Austro-Serb difficulty to the official me-
diation of the four powers which were not di-
rectly interested therein. France and Russia ac-
cepted this proposal to internationalize the ques-
tion, hut Germany refused under the pretext that
she could not thus humiliate her ally, and she
proposed, in the place of this common action, the
opening of direct conversations between Vienna
and St. Petersburg, saying the latter was ready
to consent to this arrangement.
"The conflict seemed consequently at this time
to be progressing toward a settlement when for
the third time Austria, by a fresh provocation,
killed the hopes authorized by all that had been
done up to the present in the direction of con-
ciliation. She declared war on Servia on July
28 and began at the same time a partial mobili-
zation against Russia on her frontiers on July 29.
"The chances for peace now seemed greatly re-
duced, particularly as the Austrian army began
the bombardment of Belgrade, the occupation of
which seemed to be only a question of hours.
"The powers of the triple entente did not,
however, give up all hope of accomplishing some-
thing in these last remaining minutes. On cne
side, Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secre-
tary, started a new project for lour sidea media-
tion, a project in which Russia joined at the
demand of France.
"M. yon Jagow, to whom this project was
communicated, evaded it by declaring that while
he adhered to its principle it was necessary to
find a formula that would be acceptable to Aus-
tria. He was then invited to formulate a pro-
posal of settlement, but he again avoided the
issue by saying that he would consult the Vi-
enna cabinet on this point.
"Sir Edward Grey, whose spirit of conciliation
seemed indefatigable, then came forward with ;i
new comprouiissary proposition which provided
that all the powers should call a halt to their
military preparation. Furthermore, Russia gave
a fresh evidence of its desire to maintain the
peace of Europe by offering to maintain an at-
titude of expectation if Austria would engage
not to undertake any measures directed against
the sovereignty of Servia, even after having oc-
cupied Belgrade.
"It was then that the cabinet of Vienna, per-
haps fearful of the consequences of its irrecon-
cilability, and feeling the necessity of taking a
step backward, declared for the first time that
it was ready to discuss with Europe the funda-
mental principle of its differences with Servia.
"At the moment that this work in the direc-
tion of reciprocal concessions seemed to warrant
a last hope of peace, an irreparable movement
on the part of Germany promised to endanger
definitely the results acquired with so much labor
and to force the crisis to a violent solution.
"At the beginning of the conflict Germany had
begun military preparations and it continued
them with feverish haste. At the moment when
its representatives in foreign countries were pro-
testing its pacific intentions, th« 31st of July,
in the evening, Germany addressed to the Rus-
sian government an ultimatum giving Russia
twelve hours in which to demobilize on the Aus-
trian as well as on the German frontiers.
"The alternative was that Germany would mo-
bilize. This was done at a time when the Russian
government had given evidence of its conciliatory
attitude and at a time when Austria-Hungary
was showing itself disposed to discuss with Eu-
rope the question of its note to Servia.
"There could be no doubt as to the answer to
such an ultimatum. From that moment the
cause of peace was definitely lost, the reason
being this precipitate action on the part of Ger-
many. The obligations of alliances had to be ob-
served and the great powers were drawn into
the fatal conflict.
"Events which then took place are fresh in
the memory of every one. On the 31st of July
there were acts of hostility clearly defined on
our frontier; the 2d of August saw the violation
of the neutrality of Luxemburg and the entrance
bv Germ-in troops upon three points of our ter-
ritory while our troops were holding themselves
at a distance of six miles from the frontier.
"The same day Belgium was summoned to
permit Germany's military operations against
France. Finally, en the 3d of Aueust. the dec-
laration of war was brought by M. von Schoen
to the Quay d'Orsay, which act preceded by a
short time only the violation of the neutrality
of Belgium.''

(July 28.)
"The royal government of Servla not having
replied In a satisfactory manner to the note re-
mitted to It by the Austro-Hungurlan minister
In Belgrade, July 23, 1914, this imperial and royal
government finds itself compelled to proceed it-
self to safeguard its rights and interests and to
have recourse for this purpose to force of arms.
"Austria-Hungary considers Itself therefore
from this moment in a state of war with Ser-
via."
The declaration was signed by Count Berchtold,
minister of foreign affairs of Austria-Hungary.
GERMANY AGAINST RUSSIA.
(Aug. 1.)
"Since the beginning of the crisis the imperial
government has endeavored to bring about a
peaceful solution. In conformity with the wish
expressed to him by his majesty the emperor of
Russia, his majesty the emperor of Germany, in
agreement with England, was endeavoring to act
as mediator between the cabinets of Vienna and
St. 1'ftersburg, when Russia, without waiting for
the results of his efforts, proceeded to mobilize
the whole of its land and sea forces.
"As the result of this threatening step, for
which no motive was afforded by any military
preparation on Germany's part, the German em-
pire found itself face to face with a serious and
imminent danger. If the imperial government
had failed to parry this danger It would have
compromised the security and even the existence
of Germany. Consequently the German govern-
ment found Itself compelled to address the gov-
ernment of his majesty the emperor of all the
Russias. and to insist on the cessation of the
said military acts. Russia having refused the
satisfaction of this demand, and having shown
by this refusal that Its action was directed
against Germany, 1 have the honor to Inform
your excellency, by my government's command,
as follows:
"His majesty the emperor, my august sover-
eign, raises the gage in the empire's name and
regards himself as in a state of war against
Russia."
The declaration was signed by F. Pourtales.
German ambassador at St. Petersburg.
GERMANY AGAINST FRANCE.
(Aug. 3.)
"The German administrative and military au-
thorities have observed a certain number of acts
of decided hostility committed on German terri-
tory by French military aviators. Several of
these last have openly violated the neutrality of
Belgium, flying over the territory of this coun-
try. One tried to destroy constructions near
\Vessel; others have been seen in the region of
Eifel; another has dropped bombs on the rail-
road near Carlsruhe and Nuremburg.
"I am charged, and I have the honor to make
known to your excellency, that in the face of
these aggressions the German empire considers
Itself in a state of war wltli France by fault of
the latter power.
"At the same time I have the honor to bring
to the knowledge of your excellency that the
Germun authorities will detain French merchant
ships in German ports, but that they will release
them if complete reciprocity is assured within
forty-eight hours.
"My diplomatic mission having thus ended,
there remains for me only to beg your excellency
kindly to supply me with my passports and to
take any measures which may be judged useful
to assure my return into Germany with the per-
sonnel of the embassy as well as with the per-
sonnel of the Bavarian legation and of the gen-
«ral consulate of Germany in Paris.
"Kindly accept, monsieur the president, the
ipression of my very high consideration."
The notification was addressed to President
Poincare and was signed by Baron von Schoeu.

esty's ambassador at Berlin has received his

that following this conflict Russia, according to
a Communication from the cabinet of Berlin,

Austro-Hungarian government has placed Itself
without any provocation from France in a state
of war witb France, and after Germany had

a direct menace against France. In face of
these facts the French government finds itself
obliged to declare to the Austro-Hungarian gov-
ernment that it will take all measures permitted
to it to reply to these acts and menaces.'

sincerity an advice to the imperial German gov-

with profound regret that we, in spite of our
ardent devotion to the cause of peace, are thus
compelled to declare war, especially at this early
period of our reign and while we are still In

In the foregoing table the standing armies rep-
resent the regular establi hment of paid forces:
the war armies are the regulars and the first
and second line reserves, all trained men. It
should be noted that in time of a great war
lasting more than a few weeks the armies may
be vastly increased by volunteers and conscripts.
This is especially true of countries in which
military service is not compulsory.

ACTION IN THE UNITED STATES.
AMERICAN NEUTRALITY PROCLAMATION.
Issued Aug. 4, 1914.
By the President of the United States of
America— A Proclamation:
Whereas, a state of war unhappily exists be-
tween Austria-Hungary and Servia, and between
Germany and Russia, and between Germany and
France; and whereas the United States is on
terms of friendship and amity with the contend-
ing powers and with the persons inhabiting their
several dominions;
And, whereas, there are citizens of the United
States residing within the territories or domin-
ions of each of the said belligerents and carry-
ing on commerce, trade or other business or
pursuits therein;
And, whereas, there are subjects of each of
the said belligerents residing within the ter-
ritory or jurisdiction of the United .States and
carrying on commerce, trade or other business or
pursuits therein;
And, whereas, the laws and treaties of the
United States, without interfering with the free
expression of opinion and sympathy or with the
commercial manufacture or sale of arms or
munitions of war, nevertheless impose upon all
persons who may be within their territory and
jurisdiction the duty of an impartial neutrality
during the existence of the contest;
And. whereas, it is the duty of a neutral gov-
ernment not to permit or suffer the making of
its waters subservient to the purposes of war;
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, president
of the United States of America, in order to pre-
serve the neutrality of the United States and of
its citizens and of persons within its territory
and jurisdiction, and to enforce its laws and
treaties, and in order that all persons, being
warned of the general tenor of the laws and
treaties of the United States in this behalf, and
of the law of nations, may thus be prevented from
any violation of the same, do hereby declare and
proclaim that by certain provisions of the act
approved on the 4th day of March, A. D., 1909,
commonly known as the penal code of th •
United States, the following acts are forbidden
to be done, under severe penalties, within the
territory and jurisdiction of the United States,
to wit;
"1. Accepting and exercising a commission to
serve either of the said belligerents by land or
by sea asalnst the other be lisrerents.
"2. Etilistirg .or entering into the service of
either of the said belligerents as a soldier, or as
a marine, or seaman on board of any vessel of
war, letter of marque, or privateer.
"3. Hiring 6r retaining another person to en-
list or enter himself in the service of either of
the said belligerents as a soldier, or as a ma-
rine, or seaman on board of any vessel of \\ar.
letter of marque, or privateer.
"4. Hiring another person to go beyond the
limits or jurisdiction of the United States with
Intent to be enlisted as aforesaid.
"5. Hiring another person to go beyond the
limits of the United States with Intent to be
entered into service as aforesaid.
"6. Retaining another person to go bevond the
limits of the United States with intent to be en-
listed as aforesaid.
"7. Retaining another person to go beyond the
limits of the United States with Intent to be
entered into service as aforesaid. (But the said
act is not to be construed to extend to a citizen
or subject of either belligerent who, being tran-
siently within the United States, shall, on board
of any vessel of war, which, at the time of its
arrival within the United States, was fitted and
equipped as such vessel of war, enlist or enter
himself or hire or retain another subject or citizen
of the same belligerent, who is transiently with-
in the United States, to enlist or enter himself
to serve such belligerent on board such vessel of
war, if the United States shall then be at peace
with such belligerent.)
"8. Fitting out and arming, or attempting to
fit out and arm, or procuring to be fitted out

furnishing, fitting out or arming of any ship or
vessel with intent that such shin or vessel shall

belligerents.
"9. Issuing or delivering a commission within
the territory or jurisdiction of the United States
for any ship or vessel to the intent that she
may be employed as aforesaid.
"10. Increasing or augmenting, or procuring to

any ship of war, cruiser or other armed vessel,
which at the time of her arrival within the
United States was a ship of war, cruiser or
armed vessel in the service of either of the said
be'ligerents, or belonging to the subjects of either
by adding to the number of guns of such ve«sols
or by changing those on board of her for guns
of a larger caliber, or by the addition thereto of
any equipment solely applicable to war.
'''11. Beginning or setting on foot or providing
or preparing the means for any military expedfc
tion or enterprise to be carried on from the terri-
tory or Jurisdiction of the United States against
446
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
the territories or dominions of either of the said
belligerents."
And I do hereby further declare and proclaim
that any frequenting and use of the waters
within the territorial jurisdiction of the United
States by the armed vessels of a belligerent,
whether public ships or privateers, for the pur-
pose of preparing for hostile operations, or as
posts of- observation upon the ships of war or
privateers or merchant vessels of a be'ligerent
lying within or being about to enter the juris-
diction of the United States, must be regarded
as unfriendly and offensive and in violation of
that neutrality which it is the determination of
this government to observe.
And to the end that the hazard and Incon-
venience of such apprehended practices may be
avoided, I further proclaim and declare that from
and after the 5th day of August inst., and during
the continuance of the present hostilities be-
tween Austria-Hungary and Servla, and Germany
and Russia, and Germany and France, no ship
of war or privateer of any belligerent shall be
permitted to make use of any port, harbor, road-
stead or waters subject to the jurisdiction of the
United States from which a vessel of an op-
posing belligerent (whether the same shall be a
ship of war, a privateer or a merchant ship)
shall have previously departed, until after the
expiration of at least twenty-four hours from
the departure of such last mentioned vessel be-
yond the jurisdiction of the United States.
If any ship of war or privateer of a belligerent
shall, after the time this notification takes ef-
fect, enter any port, harbor, roadstead or -waters
of the United States, such vessel sha.l be re-
quired to deport and to put to sea within twenty-
four hours after her entrance into such port, har-
bor, roadstead, or waters, except in case of
stress of weather or of her requiring provisions,
or things necessary for the subsistence of her
crew, or for repairs; in any of which cases the
authorities of the port or of the nearest port
(as the case may be) shall require her to put to
sea as soon as possible after the expiration of
such period of twenty-four hours, without permit-
ting her to take in supplies beyond what may be
necessary for her immediate use. and no such
vessel which may have been permitted to remain
within the waters of the United States for the
purpose of repair shall continue within such port,
harbor, roadstead, or waters for a longer period
than twenty-four hours after her necessary re-
pairs shall have been completed, unless within
such twenty-four hours a vessel, whether ship of
war. privateer, or merchant ship of an opposing
belligerent, shall have departed therefrom. In
which case the time limit for the departure of
such ship of war or privateer shall be extended
so far as maybe necessary to secure an interval of
not less than twenty-four hours between such de-
partures and that of any ship of war. privateer,
or merchant ship of an opposing belligerent
which may have previously quit the same port,
harbor, roadstead or waters.
No ship of war or privateer of a belligerent
shall be detained in any port, harbor, roadstead
or waters of the United States more than twenty-
four hours, by reason of the successive depar-
tures from such port, harbor, roadstead or waters
of more than one vessel of an opposing belliger-
ent. But if there be several vessels of opposing
belligerents in the same port, harbor, roadstead
or waters, the order Of their departure there-
from shall be so arranged as to afford the oppor-
tunity of leaving alternately to the vessels of
the opposing belligerents and to cause the least
detention consistent with the objects of this proc-
lamation.
No ship of war or privateer of a belligerent
shall be permitted, while in any port, harbor,
roadstead or waters within the jurisdiction of
the United States, to take in any supplies except
provisions and such other things as may be req-
uisite for the subsistence of her crew and ex-
cept so much coal only as may be sufficient to
carry such vessel, if without any sail power, to
the nearest port of her own country, or, In case
the vessel is rigged to go under sail, and may
also be propelled by steam power, then with
half the quantity of coal which she would be en-
titled to receive, if dependeut upon steam alone.
and no coal shall be again supplied to any such
ship of war or privateer in the same or any
other port, harbor, roadstead, or waters of the
United States, without special permission, until
after the expiration of three months from the
time when such coal may have been last sap-
plied to her within the waters of the United
States, unless such ship of -war or privateer
shall, since last thus supplied, have entered a
port of the government to which she Ijelongs.
And I do further declare and proclaim that
the statutes and the treaties of the United States
and the law of nations alike require that no per-
son, within the territory and jurisdiction of the
United States, shall take part, directly or indi-
rectly. In the said wars, but shall remain at
peace with all of the said belligerents, and
shall maintain a strict and impartial neutrality.
And I do hereby enjoin all citizens of the
United States, and all persons residing or being
within the territory or the jurisdiction of the
United States, to observe the laws thereof, and
ta commit no act contrary to the provisions of
the said statutes or treaties or in violation of
the law of nations in that behalf.
And I do hereby warn all citizens of the United
States and all persons residing or being within
its territory or jurisdiction that, while the free
and full expression of sympathies in public
and private is not restricted by the laws of the
United States, military forces in aid of a bellig-
erent cannot lawfully be originated or organized
within its jurisdiction, and that, while all per-
sons may lawfully and without restriction, by
reason of the aforesaid state of war, manufac-
ture and sell within the United States arms and
munitions of war and other articles ordinarily
known as contraband of war. yet they cannot
carry such articles on the high seas for the use
or services of a belligerent, nor can they trans-
port soldiers and officers of a belligerent or at-
tempt to break any blockade which may be law-
fully established and maintained during the said
wars without incurring the risk of hostile cap-
ture and the penalties denounced by the law of
the nations in that behalf.
And I do hereby give notice that all citizens
of the United States and others who may claim
the protection of this government who may mis-
conduct themselves in the premises will do so at
their peril, and that they can in nowise obtain
any protection from the government of the United
States against the consequences of their miscon-
duct.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set mv
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this 4th day
of August, in the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and fourteen and of the independ-
ence of the United States of America the one
hundred and thirty-eighth.
The proclamation was subsequently extended so
as to apply to Great Britain and the other bel-
ligerent nations.
COMMENT BY OFFICERS FORBIDDEN.
Aug. 6 President Wilson addressed the follow-
ing letter to the secretaries of war and of the
navy:
"I write to suggest that you request and ad-
vise all officers of«the service, whether active or
retired, to refrain from public comment of any
kind upon the military or political situation on
the other side of the water. I would be obliged
if you would let them know that the reauest and
advice comes from me. It seems to me highly
unwise and improper that officers of the navy
and army of the United States should make any
public utterances to which any color of political
or military criticism can be given where other
nations are involved."
APPEAL TO AMERICANS.
Aug. 18 President Wilson addressed the fol-
lowing appeal to the people of the United States:
My Fellow Countrymen: I suppose that every
thoughtful man in America hag asked himself
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOB 1915.
447
during the last troubled weeks what Influence
the European war may exert upon the United
States, and I take the liberty of addressing a
few words to you In order to point out that It
is entirely within our own choice what its ef-
fects upon us will be and to urge very earnestly
upon you the sort of speech and conduct which
will best safeguard the nation against distress
and disaster.
The effect of the war upon the United States
will depend upon what American citizens say or
do. Every man who really loves America will
act and speak in the true spirit of neutrality,
which is the spirit of impartiality and fairness
and friendliness to all concerned. The spirit of
tho nation in this critical mutter will be deter-
mined largely by what individuals and society
and those gathered in public meetings do and
say. upon what newspapers and magazines con-
tain, upon what our ministers utter in their pul-
pits and men proclaim as their opinions on the
streets.
The people of the United States are drawn
from many nations, and chiefly from the na-
tions now at war. It is natural and Inevitable
that there should be the utmost variety of sym-
pathy and desire among them with regard to the
issues and circumstances of the conflict. Some
will wish one nation, others another, to succeed
In the momentous struggle. It will be easy to
excite passion and difficult to allay it. Those
responsible for exciting it will assume a heavy
responsibility; responsibility for no less a thing
than that the people of the United States, whose
love of their country and whose loyalty to its
government should unite 'them as Americans all.
bound in honor and affection to think first of
her rnd her interests, may be divided in camps
of hostile opinions, hot against each other, in-
volved in the war itself in impulse and opinion,
if not in action. Such divisions among us would
be fatal to our peace of mind and might seriously
stand in the way of -the proper performance of
our duty as the one great nation at peace, the
one people holding itself ready to play a part
of impartial mediation and speak the counsels
of peace and accommodation, not as a partisan,
but as a friend.
I venture, therefore, my fellow countrymen,
to speak a solemn word of warning to you
against that deepest, most subtle, most essen-
tial breach of neutrality which may spring out
of partisanship, out of passionately taking sides.
The United States must be neutral in fact as
well as in name during these days that are to
try men's souls. We must be impartial In
thought as well as in action, must put a curb
upon our sentiments as well as upon every trans-
action that might be construed as a preference
of one party to the struggle before another.
My thought is of America. I am speaking, I
fool s;ire, the earnest wish and purpose of
every thoughtful American that this great coun-
try of ours, which is, of course, the first in our
thoughts and in our hearts, should show herself
in this time of peculiar trial a nation fit beyond
others to exhibit the fine poise of undisturbpd
judgment, the dignity of self-control, the effi-
ciency of dispassionate action, a nation that
neither sits in judgment upon others nor is dis-
turbed in her own counsels and which keeps her-
self fit nnd free to do what is honest and dis-
interested and truly serviceable for the peace of
the world.
Shall we not resolve to put upon ourselves
the restraint which will bring to our people the
happiness and the great and lasting Influence
for peace we covet for them?
ACTION BY CONGRESS.

Europe cor.srcss passed several joint resolutions
and bills as fol'ows:

of the Panama canal act are repealed. The
president of the United States is authorized,
whenever in his discretion the needs of foreign
commerce may require, to suspend by order, for
such a length of time as he may deem desirable,
the provisions of law prescribing that all the
watch officers of vessels of the United States
registered for foreign trade shall be citizens of
the United States. Under like conditions, in
like manner and to like extent the president is
also authorized to suspend the provisions of the
law requiring survey, inspection and measure-
ment by officers of the United States of foreign
built vessels admited to American registry under
this act. (Approved Aug. 18. 1914.)
WAR RISK INSURANCE.
There is established in the treasury department

bureau, subject to the general direction of the
secretary of the treasury, shall make provision for
the insurance by the United States of American
vessels, their freight and passage moneys and
cargoes shipped or to be shipped therein, against
loss and damage by the risks of war. whenever
it shall appear to the secretary of the treasury
that American vessels, shippers and importers in
American vessels are unable in any trade to se-
cure adequate war risk insurance on reasonable
terms. The bureau is authorized to adopt a form
of war risk policy and fix reasonable rates of
premium for the insurance of American vessels,
their freight and passage moneys and cargoes
against war risks, which rates are subject to
change, to each port and for each class, as may
be required by circumstances. The proceeds of
the premiums are to go to the treasury of the
United States.
The secretary of the treasury is authorized to
establish an advisory board of three members,
skilled in the practices of war risk insur-
ance, to assist the bureau in fixing rates of pre-
mium, in the adjustment of losses and in other
matters. Provision is made for the prompt ad-
justment and payment of claims for losses. For
the purpose of paying 1' sses accruing under the
act the sum of $5.000.000 Is appropriated. For

risk insurance h-is ceased. This suspension, in
any event, is to be made within two years after
the passage of the act. (Approved Sept. 2, 1914.)
REPRESENTATION OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
To enable the United States to fulfill the ob-
ligations devolving upon it in connection with
its representation of the interests of foreign
governments and their nationals, and to extend
temporary assistance to other governments and
their nationals, made necessary by the hostilities
in Europe and elsewhere, by transferring or ad-
vancing funds for diplomatic and consular ex-
penses and for the care and benefit of citirens
or subjects of foreign nations, there is appropri-
ated the sum of $1.000.000. to be available in the
fiscal year 1915. and to be disbursed under the
direction of the secretary of state. (Approved

(Approved Aug. 20. 1914.)
AMERICAN OFFER OF MEDIATION.
Aug. 5 President Wilson sent the following
message to King George. Emperor \Villiam, Em-
peror Francis Joseph, President Poincare and
King Albert:
"As official head of one of the powers signatory
to The Hague convention, I feel it to be my priv-
ilege and my duty under article 3 of that con-
vention to say to you in a spirit of most ear-
nest friendship that I should welcome an oppor-
tunity to act in the interest of European peace,
either now or any other time that might be
thought more suitable, as an occasion to serve
you and all concerned in a way that would af-
ford me lasting cause for gratitude and happi-
ness. WOODROW WILSON."
Courteous replies were received from the rulers
addressed, but the offer was declined.
HOME RULE PROMISED POLAND.
Grand Duke Nicholas, commander In chief of
the Russian armies, addressed the following
manifesto to Poland Aug. 15, 1914:
"The hour has sounded when the sacred dream
of your fathers may be realized. A hundred and
fifty years ago the living body of Poland was
torn to pieces, but her soul survived and she
lived in hope that for the Polish people would
come an hour of regeneration and reconciliation
with Russia.
"The Russian army brings you the solemn news
of this reconciliation which effaces the frontiers
severing the Polish people, whom it unites con-
jointly under the scepter of the czar of Russia.
Under this scepter Poland will be born again,
free In her religion, her language and autono-
mous.
"Russia expects from you only the loyalty to
which history has bound you. With open heart
and a brotherly hand extended, great Russia
comes to meet you. She believes that the sword
which struck her enemies at Greunewald is not
yet rusted.
'"Russia from the shores of the Pacific ocean
to the North sea marches in arms. The dawn of
a new life commences for you. In this glorious
dawn is seen the sign of the cross — the symbol
of suffering and the resurrection of a people."
ATROCITIES IN THE WAR.
APPEALS TO AMERICA.
Many charges of cruel and inhuman acts were
made against the armies of all the belligerents.
The Germans were accused of wantonly destroy-
ing homes and other property, burning cities and
villages, attacking women and killing noacoin-
batants. The Belgians were accused of tortur-
ing German wounded, the French of using dum-
dum bullets, the English of mistreating prison-
ers in England, and the Cossacks of pillaging
and murder in. East Prussia. Henry Carton de
Wiart. minister Of Justice, headed a special mis-
sion sent by King Albert to lay before President
Wilson in Washington a report on the outrages
alleged to have been committed by the Germans
in Belgium and to appeal for the influence of the
United States in securing Justice. The members
of the mission were received by the president in
the white house Sept. 16 and their report ac-
cepted.
In presenting it M. de Wiart spoke of the
consequences suffered by Belgium because, it
declined to permit its neutrality to be violated
by the German army. "This army." he said,
"not only soiled a great portion of our territory,
but it committed incredible acts of violence, the
nature of which is contrary to the rights of man-
kind.
"Peaceful inhabitants were massacred, defense-
less women and children were outraged, onen and
undefended towns were destroyed, historic and
religious monuments were reduced to dust, and
the famous library of the University of Louvain
was given to the flames."
Replying, Mr. Wilson spoke of the strong
frlondihln existing between the Urited States
and B»Mw>. promised to give the report his
most thoughtful consideration and continued:
"I urn honored t^nt yon should have tu"T-e<1

"Presently, I pray God very scon, this war

come, when, I take it for granted, the nations
of Europe will assemble to determine a sett'e-
ment. Where wrongs have been committed their

volved will be assessed.
"The nations of the world have fortunately,

"It would be unwise, it would be premature,

"I speak thus frankly, because I know that you

such a reservation of judgment until the end of

can be seen in their entirety and in their true
relation, will commend itself to you as a true
expression of sincere neutrality."
REPLY TO EMPEROR WILLIAM.
Under date Sept. 4 Emperor William sent a
cablegram to President Wilson as the "most
notable representative of the principles of hu-
manity," informing him that after the capture
of the French fort of Longwy his troops found
thousands of dumdum bullets made by the French
government. The cablegram continued:
S"I solemnly protest to you against the way in
which this war is being waged by our opnonents,
whose methods are making it one of the most
barbarous in history. Besides the use of these
awful weapons, the Belgian government has
openly incited the civil population to participate
in the flshtin? and has for a long time carefully
organized their resistance. The cruelties prac-
ticed In this guerrilla warfare, even by women
and priests, toward wounded soldiers and doctors
and hospital nurses — physicians were killed and

lazarettos fired on— were such that eventually my
generals were compelled to adopt the strongest
measures to punish the guilty and frighten the
bloodthirsty population from continuing their
shameful deeds.
"Some villages and even the old town of Lou-
vain, with the exception of its beautiful town
hall, had to be destroyed for the protection of
ray troops.
"My heart bleeds when I see such measures
inevitable ani when I think of the many Inno-
cent people who have lost their houses and prop-
erty as a result of the misdeeds of the guilty."
President Wilson's reply was sent on the same
day that he received the Belgian mission and
was identical in language with that part of his
reply to the Belgians, as quoted as above.
EFFECT OF WAR ON MARKETS OF THE WORLD.
STOCK MARKETS.
The effect of the European war crisis during
the last week of July, 1914, on the stock and
other markets of the world was naturally very
si-eat. On the stock market it would have been
disastrous but for the prompt closing of the
exchanges, the declaration of moratoriums and
other measures on the part of bankers and gov-
ernments. According to the London Bankers'
Magazine the depreciation from July 20 to July
39 in 387 representative securities dealt in on the
London stock exchange amounted to $940,000,000,
the fall being greatest in British and foreign
Ing
Qi Jn
funds. From July 23 to July 30 the shrinkage in
the capital value of 135 American stocks, due
chiefly to selling by foreign holders, amounted to
more than $696,900,000. Some of the heaviest
shrinkages were as follows:
Storks. Shrinkage.
Amalgamated Copper $31,162,110
American Telephone and Telegraph 29,962.859
Atel.lson 16.422,605
Baltimore &> Ohio 13.518.134
Canadian Pacific 70,200,000
Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul 14.214,737
Great Northern preferred 25.394.490
New York Central 11,561.026
Pennsylvania railroad 26,207,790
Reading 15.750.000
Union Pacific 29,454,618
United States Steel 48,288.690
The crisis on the stock exchanges and bourses
became acute July 28 when the Brussels. Mont-
real and Toronto exchanges closed. On the 29th
the St. Petersburg exchange closed and dealings
on the Berlin exchange were only on a cash basis.
Continental banks were withdrawing foreign bal-
ances in London and there were heavy shipments
of gold from New York to Europe. July 30 the
Bank of England re re increased from 3 to 4 per
cent, the Bank of France rate from 3% to .4%
per cent, and the Bank of Belgium rate from 4 to
5 per cent. The Vienna stock exchange closed and
all the machinery for transmitting money from
one country to another stopped. July 31 the Lon-
don stock exchange closed' and practically all
of the continental bourses ceased doing business.
In the United States the New York, Boston. Chi-
cago, Baltimore. Pittsburgh. St. Louis, Indianap-
olis and Detroit exchanges closed. The bank
rates were again raised, that of the Bank of
England going from 4 to 8 per cent. The Oer-
man Ueiehsbank rate rose from 4 to 5 per cent
and tlio Austro-Hnrgarian bank rate from 5 to 6
per cent. Aug. 1 the Bank of England rate was
raised to 10 per cent and bank rate increases
were reported from Germany, Holland, Denmark
many countries. France led off
Aug. 3 the British parliament
and France. By this time the whole system of
credit was demoralized and most of the stock
exchanges throughout the world were closed.
The rfew lork and Chicago exchanges were re-
opened under restrictions near the close of No-
vember.
MORATORIUMS DECLARED.
Moratoriums, by which financial settlements
wero postponed for periods of from one to sis
months, with provisions for further extensions
were declared b~ *•-
on Aug. 1, and „. „ „. .„„„ ul,
passed a "postponement of~paymeiits'^"a'ct"'the
moratorium to remain in force six months. With-
in ten days moratoriums had been declared In
Denmark^ Norway, Bulgaria, Argentine Republic,
Russia, Brazil, Italy. Egypt, Cyprus and Turkey.
No moratorium was declared lr. Germany, though
it was claimed that other measures led to the
same end and that settlements were virtually
snsi ended. Specie payments were suspended in
all the continental countries of Europe
[Moratorium— An emergency act of legislation
authorizing a debtor or bank to suspend pay-
ments for a given period.— Webster.]
Some bank failures occurred in New York and
els where through the demoralization of the stock
market, but the closing of the exchanses, the
adoption of emergency rules as to withdrawals
of deposits find the application of currency laws
prevented anything like a serious panic.
COTTON MARKETS.
The war in Europe completely demoralized the
American cotton market. July 30 on the New
Orleans market there was a drop of 76 points,
or about $4 a bale. The next day the New Or-
leans and New York cotton exchanges closed
after short periods of trading during which prices
dropped 120 to 134 points. The cotton growers
in the south were threatened with ruin and to
help them the so-called "buy a bale of cotton"
movement was started in the north. Congress
was appealed to for relief, but nothing was done
by that body. The banks of the country how-
ever, subscribed to a cotton loan of $150,000.000
and the crisis was tided over.
PRODUCE MARKETS.
The produce markets of the world were de-
moralized in sympathy with the stock markets.
Wheat advanced sharply and other grains fol-
lowed. Wheat in the twin cities, Chicago, Du-
also rose an-1 remained high.
RELIEF OF STRANDED AMERICANS.
The sudden outbreak of the war in Europe
caused an immense amount of inconvenience,
loss and even suffering to Americans traveling
abroad on business or for pleasure. The stoppage
of trains for ordinary traffic on account of mobili-
zation, the •complete breakdown of the Interna-
tional credit system, the suspension of specie
payments, the disappearance of gold and other
currency, the closing of many hotels and the
cancellation of steamship sailings left the tour-
ists In a helpless condition. Those traveling on
the continent in automobiles had their machines
seized without ceremony and moving from one
country to another was attended with the great-
est difficulty. Those without passports had to ob-
tain other identification papers. There was an
endless amount of trouble, of annoyance and of
privation.
There was a mania for looking upon all stran-
gers as spies. In the first days of the crisis
American tourists, with or without money, were
in many instances subjected to indignities and
uncivil treatment. Later on they fared better,
especially In Germany, where, after the rush of
mobilization was ended, they were treated with
kindness and consideration. One of the worst
features of the situation was that all means of
communication by telegraph, cable and even by
mail were stopped for a considerable period and
the relatives and friends of travelers in Europe
had to spend many days of anxiety and distress
before they could get any trace of them. The
state department through its consular and other
representatives abroad gave a great amount of
assistance in locating tourists and placing them
in communication with their home people. Amerl-

can newspapers with offices in the European capi-
tals where Americans registered did much work
along the same line.
Committees of American residents in London,
Paris. Berlin and other European capitals were
formed and these, working in conjunction with
ambassadors, ministers and consuls, helped to re-
lieve the distress among the travelers and to
help them to find accommodations on the com-
paratively few steamers sailing for the United
States and Canada.
Congress also, as shown elsewhere, appropriated
$2,750,000 for the relief, protection and transporta-
tion of Americans stranded in Europe. The state,
war, navy and treasury departments co-operated
in finding the travelers, supplying them with
usable funds and securing transportation for
them. It was a task of magnitude, as the tour-
ists caught in the war crisis numbered from 100,-
000 to 150,000. Many of these managed in one
way or another to get home without help, but
thousands would have been absolutely helpless
without assistance from the government. Two
COST OF THE
IN LAND WARFARE.
The number of men killed, wounded, missing
or Incapacitated by illness during the first four
months of the European war cannot yet be given
with any degree of accuracy. Such official reports
as had been made up to Dec. 7 proved, however,
that for the time it had been waged the conflict
was the bloodiest on record. The heaviest losers
were undoubtedly the Germans and Austrians, as
their armies did most of the attacking, but all
the belligerents suffered severely.
The official casualty list issued by Germany
Dec. 5 showed a total loss of 658,483 officers and
men killed, wounded or missing. This did not
include the losses of .the Saxon, Bavarian and
Wuerttemberg armies. Adding these, the total
would undoubtedly exceed 1,000,000. A correspond-
ent in Copenhagen. Denmark, reported that an
examination of official reports showed that the
average Austrian and German loss per day for
four months had been 20.000, making the aggre-
gate for that period 2,440,000.
No official reports of the losses sustained by
Russia were made public. The Vienna Rundschau
estimated that up to Nov. 4 they amounted to
1,150,000 in dead, wounded, victims of disease,
deserters and prisoners. By Dec. 1 the number
probably did not fall below 1,500,000.
Reports originating in Bern, Switzerland,
placed the French losses up to Nov. 1 at 667.000
in killed, wounded and missing. By Dec. 1 they
were perhaps in the vicinity of 1,000,000.
Premier Asquith in the British house of com-
mons Nov. 13 said that the casualties in the
forces of the empire up to Oct. 31 were approxi-
mately 57,000 men of all ranks. By Dec. 1 they
probably aggregated 75.000 men.
Servia and Montenegro had each lost about one-
•third of their forces at the end of November.
This would be about 100,000 for Servia and 17,000
for Montenegro.
Belgium in the first four months of the war
lost approximately 100.000 men.
• Summarixed in tabular form, these estimates
give the following result:
Germany and Austria 2,440,000
Russia 1,500. 000
France 1,000.000
Great Britain 75,000
Belgium 100,000
Servia 100,000
ships of the navy, the cruisers Tennessee and
iSorth Carolina, were made ready, a number of
army officers, headed by Henry S. Breckimidge,
assistant secretary of war, were placed in charge
and with $1,500,000 in gold on board sailed for
Europe. They arrived at Falmouth, England.
Aug. 17. and the distribution of the gold in Eng-
land, France and other countries where there
were tourists in trouble was begun. The work
was done systematically and carefully and prob-
ably a majority of those deserving' help were
given all the necessary assistance.
United Ststes consuls were authorized to secure
ships at places where the transportation facili-
ties were inadequate and many refugee Ameri-
cans were enabled in this way to get away from
the continent. Later on regular services were
resumed by the English, Dutch, French and
Scandinavian lines in the north and the Italian
lines in the south, so that all who wished to do
so might return to America with speed and com-
fort.
WAR IN MEN.
Montenegro 17,000
Total 5,232.000
The losses of the Japanese at Tsingtao were
probably under 2.000. The Turkish losses had not
been reported up to Dec. 7.
It should be kept in mind that the figures here
given do not mean that more than 5,000,000 men
were actually incapacitated for service. A
considerable proportion of the slightly wounded
returned to the front after a short stay in hospi
tal.
Losses in separate battles were not made
public by any of the belligerents.
LOSSES IN NAVAL BATTLES.
Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the
admiralty, said in the house of commons Nov.
18 that the total British naval casualties to that
date were: Officers killed, 222; wounded. 37;
missing, 5. Men killed. 3,455; wounded, 428:
missing, 1. To this list he said should be added
875 men lost on the cruiser Good Hope, making
the grand total 3.924. The German loss was not
reported, but it was considerably smaller. Prob-
ably it was in the neighborhood of 1,500. In
the encounter off Helgoland bight Aug. 28 in
which the Mainz. Koeln and Ariadne were sunk.
the German loss was placed at about 900 without
counting those lost on the destroyers that were
sent to the bottom. Three hundred were cap-
tured The British loss was sixty-nine killed and
wounded.
The British lost 1,400 men when the cruisers
Aboukir. Hogue and Cressy were torpedoed in
the North sea Sept. 22.
Throngh the sinking of the Monmouth and Good
Hope in a battle off the coast of Chile Nov. 1
the British lost 1.450 men.
. Through the sinking of the Scharnhorst, Gneise-
nau, Leipzig and Nurnberg Dec. 8 the Germans
lost, so fur as known, about 2.500 men.
Casualties through the damaging or sinking of
individual warships by gunfire, mines or sub-
marines included the following: Takachiho. Jap-
anese, 281; Jemtchug, Russian. 86; Pegasus,
British. 26; Pallada. Russian, 568: Emden, Ger-
man, 550; Hawke, British. 350; Bulwark. British.
700. No figures as to the loss of life on torpedo
boats, destroyers or submarines were made pub-
lic.

COST OF WAR IN MONEY.
Estimates of the daily cost of the European
war to the countries directly involved vary from
$30.000,000 to 1.50,000,000. This includes ouly ac-
tual expenses and not losses through destruc-
tion of property, depreciation in values, stagna-
tion or cessation of trade and industry and nou-
production generally. According to an Associated
Press report, the daily war bill of Europe Oct.
19 was figured at $40,225,000, divided as follows:
Russia $14,000,000
Germany 7,225,000
France 7,000,000
England 5,000,000
Austria-Hungary 4,000,000
Other countries 3,000,000
The estimates in the case of the individual
countries also vary widely. Those of Germany,
for example, have at different times been placed
as low as $4,500,000 and as high as $15,000,000 a
day. In the British house of commons Nov. 16
Premier Asquith said that the war was costing
the empire $5,000,000 a day. Some idea of the
cost of the conflict may be gained from the war
credits voted by three or four of the powers.
These credits are in addition to the regular army
and navy budgets.
Aug. 5 Germany voted a credit of ?1.2oO.OOO.OOO
and Dec. 2 it voted an additional credit of the
same amount, or $2.500,000.000 in all.
Aug. 6 Great Britain voted a credit of $500,000,000
and Nov. 16 it voted for $1,125,000,000 more, or
$1,625,000,000 in all. Of the new credit $50,000,000
was to be loaned to Belgium and $4,000,000 to
Servia.
Aug. 5 France voted a credit of $600,000.000.
Nov. 29 it was announced that the people of
Austria-Hungary had subscribed for more than
$600,000.000 of war bonds.
Ac-cording to the Wall Street Journal, the total
of the war loans issued by the countries involved
directly or indirectly up to the middle of Oc-
tober was $1,696,250,000, divided as follows:
German war loan. 5s, at 97% $780,250,000
German treasury bills, about 5% basis 335,00,0.000
Russian treasury bonds 150,000,000
British treasury bills, about 3%% basis 300,000,000
Belgium (from British and French
governments) 100,000,000
French treasury bills, 5% basis, in
London 10,000,000
Danish domestic loan 15,000,000
Switzerland, about 5%% basis 6,000,000
Total $1,696,250,000
In a speech in the house of commons Nov. 17
David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the exchequer,
estimated that the cost of one year of the war
to Great Britain would be $2,250,000,000.
All the countries in Europe that were com-
pelled to mobilize their troops had to bear a
share of the direct as well as of the indirect
expenses of the war. Thus in Italy up to Dec.
1 more than $200,000,000 had been appropriated for
war preparations. Holland by April 1. 1915, will
have been put to an expense of $80,000,000 on ac-
count of mobilization, caring for Belgian refugees
and \var measures generally. The Scandinavian
countries, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain and the
Balkan states were also compelled to meet
extraordinary expenses on account of the war.
Oct. 17 Paul Leroy-Beaulieu, the French econo-
mist, estimated that each of the greater belliger-
ents was spending on an average $200,000,000 a
month and that each of the smaller states, in-
cluding Japan, would have expenses of from
$600.000,000 to $800,000,000 to meet. Assuming
that the war would last seven months, he con-
cluded that it would cost the fighting powers
alone from $9,000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000.
NEW DEVICES USED IN THE WAE.
The war In Europe was not many dsys old be-
fore it became apparent th:it it would be fought
under conditions quite different from those of
previous great struggles. The conflict was car-
ried on, not only on the surface of land and sea,
but in the air and beneath the waters. Men and
guns, food and ammunition were carried at great
speed for long distances, not only on railroad
trains but on automobile trucks, and communica-
tion between different points of the long extend-
ed lines was by wireless messages as well as by
telephone and telegraph.
AEROPLANES AND DIRIGIBLES.
In the fighting on land the most important in-
novation was the extensive use made of aero-
planes. All the main divisions of the troops
were accompanied by military aviators whose
services were of the utmost value to the com-
manders. It was estimated that in the early
months of the war there were 5,000 aeroplanes
and more than 100 dirigibles distributed among
the belligerents. They were used chiefly for
scouting purposes and in this line of work thay
proved vastly more effective than cavalry. No

movements of large bodies of troops could be
made without being seen and hence surprise at-
tacks were made practically impossible. They
were also used in range finding for artillery and
In dropping bombs and steel arrows on the ene-
my. Long and daring flights were made by Brit-
ish. German and other aviators and some dam-
age was done by them at points remote from
tne^r starting points. Field Marshal Sir John
French, commanding the British army operating
In France, said in a report to Lord Kitchener,
secretary of war:
"I wish particularly to bring to your lordship's
notice the admirable work done by the royal fly-
ing corps under Sir David Henderson. Th°ir
skill, energy and perseverance have been beyond
all praise. They have furnished me with most
complete and accurate Information which has
been of incalculable value in the conduct of op-
erations."
Many aviators lost their lives, were disabled
by bullets or by accident or were taken prison-
ers, but their places were filled by others from
the training grounds, and the service was main-
tained with undiminished efficiency.
Germany's Zeppelins played a somewhat con-
spicuous part in the war, not so much because
of what they actually accomplished as because
of what they threatened to do. London was in
constant fear of a visit from a fleet of German
dirigibles and all kinds of precautions were
taken against such an invasion. The fnct that
these ships of the air could be more easily seen
and hit than aeroplanes prevented their use for
scouting purposes, but that they could be danger-
ous under certain •curcumstances was shown by
their bomb dropping exploits at Antwerp and else-
where. The French and English dirigibles had
not accomplished anything of note up to the end
of the fourth mouth of the war.
MOTOR CARS.
Motor cars were used extensively by all the
armies where the roads were practicable for
vehicles of this kind. They carried food, ammu-
nition, supplies, camp equipage, detachments of
troops, artillery and all sorts of things needed
on a military campaign. Officers used them for
hurried trips and the soldiers for patrol duty.
They carried wounded men quickly and comfort-
ably from near the front to the field or fixed
hospitals In the rear. They were Invaluable in
Red Cross work for transporting not oiny the
wounded hut physicians, nurses and medical sup-
plies. Motor ambulances were used in the vi-
cinity of all the big battle fields in Belgium and
France. There were, armored automobiles used
for attacking small forces of the enemy and
there were motor cars having mounted on them
guns made especially for firing at -airships. In
fact, they were used for all things that a horse
drawn vehicle could be used for and for many
things besides, where the circumstances were at
all favorable. Motorcycles were, of course, used
by many soldiers where fast work was required.
WIRELESS APPARATUS.
Portable wireless outfits were extensively used.
especially by the German armies. They were
carried on motorcycles and automobiles and were
used for sending messages over distances averag-
ing thirty-five miles. Heavier outfits were sup-
plied for longer distances. Along well estab
lished linea of communication telephone and tele-
graph lines were used.
SUBMARINES.
The part played by the submarines In the war
up to the time this record closed was remark-
able. They proved their effectiveness by sending
to the bottom many big cruisers and several
battle ships at points near and far from the
home base. The British naval vessels, as will
be seen from the list of ships lost given In an-
other place, were the chief sufferers because
they were the most numerous and most easily
accessible. In one day England lost three cruis-
ers costing $12,000,000, all sunk by one German
submarine. The Germans themselves, the Rus-
sians and Japanese were also sufferers from the
operations of these unseen and deadly foes.
SIEGE GUNS.
Tha invention by the Krupps of siege guns of
great range and using shells of tremendous de-
structive power was also one of the surprises
of the early days of the war. This was espe-
cially true of the 42 centimeter (16.5 inch) mortar,
which played such havoc with the forts at Liege
and Antwerp. Its work probably put an end for-
ever to the building of forts of the old model,
for it proved that they were easily destroyed
and not worth the money spent upon tntm. The
trenches dug by the armies after the first weeks
of the war proved far more effective against the
big, long range guns than the immense forts
that were supposed to be impregnable to any
kind of attack.
STEEL DARTS.
Steel arrows or darts, as well as bombs, are
now dropped from aeroplanes. They are about
five Inches long and a little thicker than a lead
pencil. They are dropped In batches of 500, a
mechanical device spreading them over an area
of 200 yards. Falling from a height of 1,500 feet
or more, they acquire a terrific velocity and will
penetrate a man's body from head to foot.
Maj.-Gen. von Meyer of the German army was
reported Dec. 7 as having been killed by one of
these steel arrows as he was entering a motor
car. They were first used by the French avia-
tors.
OUTLINE NARRATIVE OF THE WAR.
Up to the time this edition of The Almanac
and Year-Book went to press no decision In the
European war had been arrived at and the bellig-
erent nations were still carrying on military op-
erations as vigorously as at the beginning of
hostilities In midsummer, each claiming to see
indications of eventual victory for itst-lf and de-
feat for its foes. Such indications to impartial
observers were not conclusive and the end of the
great conflict was not in sight. The complete
history of the war remains to be written, but
enough history was made In the first four months
of the struggle to till many volumes. For the
present a mere outline of what happened in those
tour months will have to suffice.
From the official documents printed on the pre-
ceding pages it will have been sei n that the im-
mediate or precipitating cause of the war was
the assassination in Sarajevo. Bosnia, June 28.
1914, of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, nephew of
the emperor of Austria, heir to the throne and
commander In chief of the dual monarchy's
armed forces. With him at the time was his
wife, the duchess of Hohenberg, who shared his
fate. Both were killed by a Servian student,
one of a band of conspirators of the same race,
who were filled with hatred of the country which,
according to their ideas, bad repressed the
growth and trampled upon the national aspira-
tions of their fatherland. The deed was the cul-
mination of a long series of disputes between
Austria-Hungary and Servla, which on more than
one occasion had brought them to the brink of
war.
Naturally the anger of the Austrians and Hun-
garians was aroused to a high pitch by the as-
sassination of the heir to the throne and his
wife. Anti-Serb demonstrations took place in
various towns and cities and the newspapers
used bitter language in calling for vengeance on
the Servians. The Austro-Hungarian government
itself was ominously quiet until July 23, almost
a month after the murders. Then it delivered
an ultimatum to Servia and demanded a reply
within forty-eight hours. Among the ten de-
mands in that ultimatum were some with which
the Servian government felt it could not possi-
bly as a sovereign nation comply. The reply
made was conciliatory in tone, but It was pro-
nounced unsatisfactory by the Austro-Hungarian
minister at Belgrade, who withdrew at the ex-
piration of the time limit on July 25. Three days
later Austria-Hungary formally declared war on
Servia and within a few hours hostilities had
begun and the first shots in the world's greatest
war were fired.
454
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
MARCH OF EVENTS.
Events from that time on moved with great
rapidity. Russia had made it plain that an at-
tack upon Its protege, Servia, would be consid-
ered an attack upon itself. It proceeded at once,
according to reports made to the German and
Austrian authorities, partially to mobilize its
forces on the western frontiers. Russia denied
that this concentration of troops was with hos-
tile intent against Germany, claiming that it
was merely a precautionary measure for self-
protection. Whatever actually was the case, Ger-
many proceeded on the assumption that the mo-
bilization was directed either against its ally,
Austria-Hungary, or against itself. July 30 the
Berlin government sent an ultimatum to St.
Petersburg demanding that Russian mobilization
cease within twelve hours or Germany would
mobilize. Russia did not cease mobilizing and
Aug. 1 Germany declared war. In doing so it
announced that it was acting in accordance with
the terms of its alliance with Austria-Hungary.
This compact was known as the triple alliance
because it included Italy, but the southern king-
dom held aloof and refused to be drawn into an
aggressive war. So the compact again became
.what it was at the beginning, a dual alliance.
But the war was not to be confined to Austria-
Himgary and Germany on the one side and
Russia and Servia on the other. There was an-
other international combination known as the
triple entente, which had to be reckoned witu.
This included France, Russia and Great Britain.
Recognizing that France was an ally of Russia
and that as such it would come to the aid of
the czar, Germany, apparently in accordance witii
plans matured long before, resolved to strike
France a tremendous blow first and then deal with
Russia. The impression among the men in. authori-
ty in the foreign oflice in Berlin seemed to be that
England need not become involved in the strug-
gle provided certain concessions were made. At
any rate, the policy adopted was to make war
on France without regard to what attitude Brit-
ain might assume. It was claimed that French
troops were mobilizing and that some of them
had already crossed the border and attacked the
Germans. This was denied by the French, who,
nevertheless, expected war and were not sur-
prised when it came.
NEUTRAL NATIONS INVADED.
To reach France quickly and with the- mini-
mum of opposition it was necessary to cross Bel-
gium and the grand duchy of Luxemburg. The
neutrality of both these states had been guaran-
teed by the powers, including Germany itseif,
for many years, but on the plea that it was a
case of bitter necessity Germany disregarded its
treaty obligations and prepared to send Its
armies across the smaller states to the northern
French frontier and thence to the great objective
— Paris. With Luxemburg it had no trouble.
That state was much too weak to offer any sort
of resistance and it could only protest when the
soldiers of the fatherland entered its territory.
With Belgium it was different. King Albert
was determined to protect the neutrality and in-
tegrity of his country by force of arms if neces-
sary, and he notified Germany to that effect. At
the same time he appealed to Great Britain nnd
France to assist him diplomatically. The docu-
ments in the Belgian "Gray Book," printed in
full in this volume (see page 417). tell the whole
story of the negotiations between Belgium and
Germany and need not be repeated. It is suf-
ficient to say that King Albert and his advisers
refused to grant the kaiser permission to send
his armies through the country and demanded
that the powers guaranteeing Belgian neutrality
should observe their treaty obligations.
Britain's efforts up to this time had been di-
'rected mainly to the preservation of the peace
of Europe, or at least to localize the war be-
tween Austria-Hungary and Servia, but when
Germany proposed to violate the neutrality of
Belgium the situation changed quickly and radi-
cally. Aug. 4, when there could no longer be
any doubt as to Germany's intentions, England
sent an ultimatum to Berlin demanding the
unqualified observance of Belgian neutrality and
to return an answer within twelve hours. No
reply was received and Aug. 6 a state of war
existed between Great Britain and the Gerinaia
empire. France was already involved, Belgium
was invaded and the stage was set for the
great tragedy of the nations.
From the beginning of active military opera-
tions the movements of armies, of commanders
and of fleets were shrouded in mystery so far
as possible. Strict censorships were established
and newspapers in the countries at war were
iorbidden to publish anything regarding the lo-
cation of troops, their number or their en-
counters with the enemy. Correspondents were
not allowed at the front and if they succeeded
111 getting news of victories or defeats or of
anything else which might be of the least val-
ue to the enemy, it couid not be transmitted by
telegraph, telephone, wireless or by mail. The
lear of spies amounted to a mania and such
newspaper writers as succeeded in getting near
tue tiring line incurred seiious danger 01 n.eet-
ing with a sudden and ignominious death. Many
of them were arrested and only pressure from in-
Uueutial sources secured their release. Some
were not released, but were kept in cpnfinetnent
for the term of the war.
Yet while so much trouble was taken to keep
the public in the dark it was not diifiVult to
follow the greater movements and to learn the
uioie important results flowing from them. The
governments themselves gave out brief official
reports, which, while not saying much, indicated
a great deal. Comparing them from day to day,
discriminating readers learned to interpret them
accurately and to get a fairly clear idea of
what was going on. Thus it speedily became
known that the Germans had attacked Liege
and had met with a serious check; that King
Albert and his little army were opposing the in-
vasion with dogged perserverance at all points
and were causing the Germans to lose much
precious tin.e as well as many valuable lives;
that the Germans were pouring larger and larger
bodies of troops into Belgium ard in spite of re-
verses here acd there were steadily pushing their
way forward toward the French frontier and
that the French and English could not be brought
up in sufficient numbers to offer effective re-
sistance at this time. So it was with the sub-
sequent campaigns in northern France, in East
Prussia, in Galicia, in Servia an.d in Russian
Poland. The truth came out sometimes quickly
and sometimes little by little, but it came out
and the public had a pretty clear understanding
of the general situation.
CAMPAIGN IN BELGIUM.
The progress of the war may best be followed
by reading the appended chronology, but some-
thing may be said of tne larger movements
which took place in each of the main theaters of
war. The Germans began their interrupted
march through Belgium the first week in Au-
gust and before the end of the month they had
crossed the French frontier. They had taken
and occupied Liege, Brussels, Mons, Charleroi,
Louvain, Huy, N.imur and most of the other
cities and towns in Belgium except Ostend and
Antwerp. They had driven the Belgian govern-
ment from Brussels and compelled it to take
refuge in Antwerp and they bad established a
provisional German government in the former
Belgian capital, with Field Marshal von der
Golt/. as military governor. They did not at
first appear to pav much attention to Antwerp
and other places in the northern and north-
western part of Belgium. They were more con-
cerned with sending a seemingly endless number
of troops— about 900,000, it is said— toward the
west. Later on Antwerp was besieged, its forts
battered down by the heavy Krupp mortars and
the city Itself taken. This did not happen until
Oct. 10, or after the rush to Paris failed and it
had become recessary to protect the German
lines of communication and to prevent a flank-
ing movement by the allies. The Belgian capital
had been moved to Ostend and when this once
gay city was threatened the civil authorities

transferred their headquarters to Havre, France.
King Albert's troops were gradually pushed west-
ward, but they continued to put up a stubborn
resistance until finally they formed the extreme
of the allies' lett wing, or a part of a battle
line extending from the North sea through West
Flanders and northern France In a southeasterly
direction so far as the point where the frontiers
of France, Switzerland and Germany meet. From
this time on the Belgian army, or what was left
of it, refused to be driven any farther. Assisted
by the French and also by the English warships
on the coast it held its position west of the Yser
canal aud contributed its share toward pre-
venting the Germans from sweeping down the
coast toward Dunkerque and Calais. King Al-
bert biuiself had not up to Dec. 10 been forced
out of his own country.
Much bas been written of the burning of Lou-
vain, Malinos and other cities, of alleged atroci-
ties, of the laying waste of the country through
which the aimies passed and of the military
measures which sent 100,000 Belgians to England
aud thousands of others to Holland and France
and which finally brought destitution and actual
famine upon all who remained. It is not neces-
sary to go into details concerning these events.
They are merely mentioned as forming one of
the darkest chapters lii the history of war and
as outstanding features of the Belgian campaign
of 1914.
Not all the German troops approached France
by way of Liege and Brussels. The army of the
Meuse, as It was called, which took this route,
was much the largest, as it was expected to do
the most work and do It speedily. Another body
of troops, called the army of the Moselle,
marched westward from Coblenz toward Longwy.
A third army, known as the army of the Rhine,
starting from Mayence and Strassburg. took a
more southerly route and advanced in the direc-
tion of Nancy. The main forces of the Germans
were led by the following commanders: On the
extreme left or southern end of the line was
the crown prince of Bavaria. Then followed
Crown Prince William. Duke Albrecht of Wuert-
teml-erg, Gen. von Hausen, Gen. von Bulow, and
on the extreme right Gen. von Kluck. The
movements of the armies were directed by the
fL-neral staff with Gen. von Moltke at its head,
mperor William was very active and was
credited with determining the main military poli-
tics pursued. He had the assistance of Gen. von
Fulkenhayn. the Prussian minister of war, who
took Gen. vou Moltke's place when the chief of
staff was incapacitated by illness.
THE CAMPAIGN IN FRANCE.
The advance of the armies of the Rhine and
of the Moselle was not rapid. They were faced
by the strongest fortifications on the French
frontier and In addition to that they were de-
layed hy the failure of the army of the Meuse
to make as rapid progress as had been expected.
They met stronsr opposition and many batties
took place in which heavy losses were suffered
on both sides. These occurred In the vicinity of
Verdun, St. MihM, Belfort and in the Argonne
forest region. The Germans won notable vic-
tories at Longwy, Maubeuge and other places.
The attention of the world, however, was di-
rootcd toward the advance of the powerful rigiit
wing and particularly to the operations of Gen.
von Kluck and his hosts. These continued to at-
tack in n:ass formations as they had done ii
Belgium, depending upon numbers to carry them
throush In spite of the extremely heavy losses
in killed and wounded.
As was the case in Belgium, the allies reported
brilliant victories at various points, but the vic-
tories were followed by retreats and it was ap-
parent to close observers that the Germans were
driving ahead with considerable speed toward
Paris.
France and Great Britain In the meantime had
not been idle. The French cabinet was reorgan-
ized on a national rather than a party basis an.l
Gon. JofTr'X until thi'n comparatively unknown
outside of European military circles, was placed
in supreme command of the armies. England
made Lord Kitchener secretary for war, placed
Field Marshal Sir John D. P. French in charge
of an expeditionary force to operate with the
Belgians and French In resisting the German In-
vasion, appointed Admiral Sir John R. Jellicoe
to the supreme command of the home fleets and
gavo Lord Roberts the title of colonel In chief
of the oversea forces. An expedition of less
than 100,000 men, but made up of veterans from
the Boer and other wars, was secretly hurried
across the channel and sent to the front with
such leaders as Gen. Smith-Dorrlen. Gen. Haig
and Gen. Hamilton. Later a large number of
native troops from India were brought to France
and re-enforcements were received from time to
time from the training camps in England, where
before the end of the year something like 2,000.-
000 men were being prepared for home defense or
service abroad. Toward the end of September
Canada sent a contingent of 33,000 men across the
Atlantic to assist the mother country.
This Increase in the British forces and also
la the fighting line of the French armies took
time and during the first month or more of the
war the allies, especially on the left flank, were
outnumbered. So they were driven from the
Belgian frontier back through Lille, Amiens, St.
Quentin, Coinpiegne and other places until at the
end of the first week In September the Germans
were within a few miles of the outer defenses
of Paris. In that city hurried preparations for a
siege were made and Sept. 2 the government of-
fices and archives were removed to Bordeaux,
which remained the capital until early in De-
cember.
On the extreme right of the French line the
offensive was taken early in August and an In-
vasion of Alsace and Lorraine was attempted
with some success. Altkirch aud Muelhausen
were captured, but the German forces rallied
and retook them. Fighting in this vicinity was
heavy, but from a strategical point of view was
not of the highest importance, except In so far
as the passes in. the Vosges mountains were
occupied and held against the enemy.
BATTLES OF THE MARNB AND AISNE.
Things looked very dark for the allied cause
until Sept. 7, when after having crossed the
.Maine and having come almost within striking
distance of Paris the Germans suddenly began
to retreat. Precisely why they did so was not
disclosed. It was asserted that through losses
In killed and wounded they had become numeri-
cally inferior to the allies, that they had outrun
their transport service and were suffering from
lack of food and ammunition and that it was
necessary to withdraw for some distance to
avoid a disaster. It was also asserted that the
pressure of the Russian invasion of Prussia had
become so heavy that re-enforcements from the
western theater of war to the east had to be
sent In a hurry. Whatever the reason was. the
Germans wavered and when the allies at once
took the offensive retreated toward the east and
north away from Paris.
The battle of the Marne so called was in
reality a series of battles in the vicinity of the
river of that name. No statement of losses on
either side was made, though it was admitted
that they were heavy, as more than 2,000,000
took part In the struggle. The Germans with-
drew in fairly good order until they reached
prepared positions back of the Aisne river. Here
they intrenched themselves and here for many
days raged another series of desperate battles.
The tide flowed back and forth with success first
on one side and then on the other. It was ex-
pected to be the great decisive battle of the
wnr. It was great, but It was not decisive.
Both sides now dug a series of bomb-proof and
almost weather-proof trenches, which eventually
extended In a semicircular line from Xieuport
on the North sea coast of Belgium to the Vosges
mountains. The fighting along this line was for
a time continuous and savage, but gradually as
winter approached the attacks became less fre-
quent and by Dec. 10 they bad almost ceased,
456
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
In November and the early part of December
there were violent assaults by the Germans along
a line extending Irom the North sea as far south
as Arras and especially in the vicinity of Dix-
mude, but no decided gains were made by either
Bide. When this record closed the Germans on
the one hand and the allies on the other hand,
so far as the western theater of war was con-
cerned, practically fought each other to a stand-
still,
CAMPAIGN IN EAST PRUSSIA.
Turning now to the east, it may be remarked
that the Russians were, as was predicted, slow to
get started in the war, but they did better than
some had predicted. Grand Duke Nicholas had
charge of the military strategy and the greater
movements. Under him were many generals
who had gained experience and some fame in the
war with Japan. Among them were Gen. Ren-
nenkampf, Gen. Russky. Gen. Sazonoff and a
host of others. Gen. Demitrieff, the "Bulgarian
Napoleon," as he was often called on account
of his success against the Turks, offered his
services and they were accepted. The czar's
forces advanced in two main divisions. One was
directed against East Prussia and the other
against the Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia.
By the end of August the Russians had pene-
trated into Kast Prussia as far as Insterburg
and Alloustcin. They defeated the numerically
inferior German forces opposed to them and were
threatening to besiege the great fortress of
Koenigsberg.
Early in September Gen. von Hlndenburg, having
received re-enforcements, inflicted a crushing de-
feat on the Russians at the battle of Allenstein,
taking some 70,000 prisoners. He then drove
the invaders back across the border, but there
they turned on him and he suffered several re-
verses, whith compelled him to remain on the
defensive. There were a number of attacks and
counter attacks in this part of the war zone
later, but they were not of a decisive character.
FIGHTING IN POLAND.
In Galicia, with the Austrians as their oppo-
nents, the Russians scored a number of brilliant
victories, the greatest being the capture of Letn-
berg, a city second in importance in the province
only to Cracow. They approached close to
Cracow itself and penetrated into Hungary
through the passes of the Carpathian mountains.
Afterward the Austrlans received German sup-
port and were able to check the Russian advance.
The combats in this part of the war territory
were sanguinary, but no reliable figures as to
the losses sustaine-1 by either side are available.
Thp "front" in Russia was even more extended
tOian that in France and Belgium. It was, in fact,
more than ?00 miles long, running in a south-
west*-rly direction from the Baltic sea to Leru-
berg. In Galicia. Battles were fought at various
times at or near Kovno. Suwalki, Grodno. Plock.
Kalish. Plotrkow. Warsaw. Lodz and many other
places. The fortress of Jaroslaw was captured
by the Russians and the stronger Przemysl was
besieged, but bad not been taken when this was
written. In November the Germans made a swift
advance on Warsaw from the west, but were
driven back with heavy loss. Later, spurred on by
the kaiser himself and with Gen. von Hindenburs,
now Income the military hi-ro of Germany, and
Gen. Mackensen they advanced azain, captured
Lodz and once more threatened Warsaw. The
Austrians in Galicia also advanced and Inflicted
some losses on the Russians. The campaign on
the eastern front of the war was still in progress
In the second week in December without any de-
cisive result having teen reached.
gERVIAN CAMPAIGN.
Of the struggle between the Servians and the
Austrlans little need ba said. In the opening
•weeks of the hostilities the veterans of the
Servian armies mat and defeated Tiiany Austrian
forces at such places as Visegrad. Shabats ami
Semlin. Belgrade, the bombardment of which
Virtually opened the great war, held out until
t>ec. 2, when it finally had to surrender. The
Servians after four months of fighting, in which
they are said to have lost 100,000 men, were
worn out and had to give way before the su-
perior numbers and resources of the dual mon-
archy. They received somrf financial assistance
from England end it appeared early in December
as though they were still able to keep a con-
siderable force of Austrians busy They even
routed some of the pursuing forces with heavy
loss. Montenegro did its share of the fighting,
especially in Bosnia. Its army had, it was re-
ported in December, lost one-third of its original
strength. Great pressure was brought upon Bul-
Siria and Roumania to enter the war. but up to
ec. 10 they had preserved their neutrality.
Turkey, at the instigation of Germany, entered
the war Oct. 29 by attacking Russia. The Mus-
sulman head priests proclaimed a holy war
against Russia, France and Great Britain, but
up to the beginning of the second week in De-
cember neither Turkey nor its fanatical popula-
tion had become a serious factor in the war, ex-
cept in so far that it was made necessary for
the allies to divert some of their troops for the
protection of the Suez canal and various threat-
ened points.
Japan, as the ally of Great Britain and as the
"protector of peace In the far east," declared
war against Germany when that country declined
voluntarily to give up Kiaochow and the port of
Tsingtao in Shantung province. China. It laid
siege to Tsingtao and with the aid of the Brit-
ish captured the stronghold Nov. 6 with compar-
atively small loss of life.
There were minor land engagements between
the British and Germans in tiieir colonies in va-
rious parts of the world, but these, aside from
the fact that they deprived Germany of a num-
ber of her smaller possessions, were relatively
unimportant.
WAR ON THE SEA.
On the sea the war was carried on chiefly by
Great Britain and Germany. At the opening of
hostilities the main force of the German navy
was in or near the Kiel canal and it remained
there up to the time this record closed. The
German naval authorities adopted the policy of
sowing a large part of the North sea with mines
and sending out submarines to attack the ene-
my's ships. In this policy they were quite suc-
cessful, as will be seen from the list of British
naval losses given elsewhere. There were four
encounters on the sea in which tue loss of ships
and men was serious. In the latter part of
August a British squadron sent three light Ger-
man cruisers and two or three destroyers to the
bottom near Helgoland in the North sea. Then,
nearly a month later, a German submarine tor-
pedoed and sank the British cruisers Aboukir.
Hogue and Cressy in the North sea with a loss
of more than 1,000 lives. The next battle was
off the coast of Chile. Nov. 1. when the German
cruisers Scharnhorst. Gneisenau and Numbers
met and sank the British cruisers Monmouth and
Good Hope and damaged the lighter cruisers
Glasgow and Otranto. The British more than
evened up the score Dec. 8 when a squadron un-
der Admiral F. C. D. Sturdee encountered the
Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Leipzig, Nurnberg and
Dresden near the Falkland islands in the South
Atlantic. The three first nainrd were sunk after
a five hours' battle. The Nurnberg and Dresden
fled, but the former was overtaken and sunk the
same day.
The exploits of the German cruiser Emden de-
serve a chapter to themselves, but space does
not permit more than mention of the fact that
this vessel destroyed British merchantmen hav-
ing a value of from $5,000,000 to $10,000.000 and
also sank a Russian cruiser and a French de-
stroyer in the harbor of Penang before it was
itself finally destroyed by an Australian cruiser
in the second week in November.
It may be said in conclusion that while fleet
German cruisers did vast damage to British ship-
ping the commerce of Britain was maintained
without much more than temporary Interruption.
That of Germany and Austria ceased almost en-
tirely.

PRONUNCIATION
The following list, while not complete, con-
tains the names of the most important places
mentioned In the press dispatches bi-ing received
in this country from the European war zone.
Care has been taken to make the phonetic pro-
nunciation as accurate as possible. The latest
edition of the Standard dictionary was used,
after which the names were checked over by na-
tives of the countries in which those places are
located— consuls, college professors, court inter-
preters, etc.
It is impossible to spell phonetically, in. Eng-
lish letters, some of the sounds of foreign lan-
guages and pronunciations here given do not pre-
tend to be minutely accurate. The nasal "n" of
the French and guttural "gh" and "ch" of the
German are examples, and only an approxima-
tion of the correct sound can be made by any
but a native. In each of these cases the let-
ters are set In italics. The apostrophe (') Is used;
to denote a quickly disappearing sonud, appear-
ing chiefly In the French, as "H^h'vr" for
Havre. The accent (') is used to show syllables
emphasized.

WHOLESALE PRICES, 1912 TO 1914.
[From bulletin of the bureau of labor statistics. Washington. D. C 1
The marked upward tendency of wholesale
prices manifested during recent years did not
continue throughout the whole of 1913. Prices
moved within very narrow limits from month
to month during the year, the most significant
feature being a decline in the groups of farm
products and food, which have such an im-
portant bearing upon the 'Cost of living.
The average of wholesale prices in 1913, as
measured by the prices of 252 commodities, was
1 2 per cent higher than the average for 1912.
This average was 19.8 per cent higher than in
1890, 22.4 per cent higher than in 1900. 2.7 per
cent higher than in 1910. and 35.2 per cent high-
er than the average price for the 10 years 1890-
1899.
The upward movement of prices, which began
in July. 1905, continued until October, 1907. from
which time there was a general decline until
August, 1908. From September, 1908. wholesale
prices again moved upward without a break
until March. 1910, from which time they de-
clined slightly until January. 1911. During the
year 1911 the variations from month to month
were small, with the tendency slightly upward.
but In the early part of 1912 prices rose rapidly
until May. Slight recessions occurred during
the summer mouths of 1912. but prices rose
again during the latter part of the year, while
throughout the year 1913 only slight variations
in prices from month to month occurred, Novem-
ber and December showing slight declines from
the high level of the year, which occurred in
October.
Wholesale prices In December, 1913. were but
0.4 per cent higher than in December, 1912. As
here measured for 1913 they were slightly higher
than for any other year of the 24-year period,
1890 to 1913. covered by the bureau of labor
statistics price reports, and were higher than
for any year since 1883.
Comparing 1913 with 1912. the group of com-
modities showing the greatest increase in prices
was fuel and lighting, the increase in the group
as a whole being 6.2 per cent. Six other groups
show an increase in 1913 of 1 per cent to 3.9
per cent, while two of the 9 groups into which
the 252 commodities have been classified show
a decrease. Farm products declined 3.2 per
cent in price, while food shows a decline of L7
per cent.

The general education board was informally or-
ganized Feb. 27, 1902, at the suggestion of John
D. Rockefeller's committee on benevolence and
was given a charter by congress and formally
organized in January. 1903. The plan was de-
signed and adapted to assist Mr. Rockefeller in
distributing his gifts to education and to afford
a medium through which other men of means
might contribute to the same end. The board,
a few days after its initial meeting, received
from Mr. Rockefeller the sum of $1.000.000. the
use of which was to be confined to the study
and promotion of education in the southern
states.
June 30, 1905, the board was notified that Mr.
Rockefeller would donate $10.000.000. the princi-
pal of which was to be held in perpetuity as a
foundation for education, the income to be used
for the benefit of institutions of learning in such
manner as might be deemed best adapted to
promote a comprehensive system of higher edu-
cation in the United States. In 1907 Mr. Rocke-
feller gave the board $32.000.000 and in 1909 added
$10.000.000 more to the fund. The board was
authorized to distribute the principal of the fund,
and all other endowment funds hitherto con-
tributed by Mr. Rockefeller, whenever in the
discretion of the members or their successors It
should be deemed advisable to do so.
The charter of the board provides that the ob-
ject of the corporation shall be "the promotion
of education within the United States of Ameri-
ca, without distinction of race, sex or creed,."

ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
President Woodrow Wilson read the following
message at a joiut session of the house and seu-
ate Dee. 8, 1914:
Gentlemen of the Congress: The session upon
which you are no\v entering will be the closing
session of the 63d congress, a congress. I vi uture
to say, which will long be remembered for the
great body of thoughtful and constructive work
which it has done, in loyal response to the
thought and needs of the country. I should like
in this address to review the notable recoid and
try to make adequate assessment of it; but no
doubt we stand too near the work that has been
done and are ourselves too much part of it to
play the part of historians toward it.
Moreover, our thoughts are now more of the
future than of the past. While we have worked
at our tasks of peace the circumstances of t*i«
whole age have been altered by war. What we
have done for our own laud and our own people
we did with the best that was in us, whether of
character or of intelligence, \yith sober enthusi-
asm and a confidence in the principles upon whUh
we were acting which sustained us at every step
of the difficult undertaking; but it is done. It
has passed from our hands. It is now an es-
tablished part of the legislation of the countiy.
Its usefulness, its effects will disclose themseives
in experience.
What chiefly strikes us now, as we look about
us during these closing days of a year which
will be forever memorable in the history of the
world, is that we face new tasks, have been fa_-
ing them these six months, must face them in
the months to come— face them without partisan
feeling, like men who have forgotten everything
but a common duty and the tact that we .are
representatives of a great people whose thought
is not of us but of what America owes to her-
self and to all mankind in such circumstances
as these upon which we look amazed and anxious.
War has interrupted the means of trade not
only, but also the processes of production. In
Europe it is destroying men and resources whole-
sale and upon a scale unprecedented and appail-
ing. There is reason to fear that the time is
near, if it be not already at hand, when several
of the countries of Europe will find it difficult
to do for their people what they have hitherto
been always easily able to do— many essential
and fundamental things. At any rate, they will
need our help and our manifold services as they
have never needed them before; and we should
be ready— more fit and ready than we have ever
SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.
It is of equal consequence that the nations
whom Europe has usually supplied with innumer-
able articles of manufacture and commerce of
which they are in constant need, and without
which their economic development halts and
stands still, can now get only a small part of
what they formerly imported and eagerly look
to us to supply their all but empty markets.
This is particularly true of our own neighbors, the
states, great and small, of Central and South
America. Their lines of trade have hitherto run
chiefly athwart the seas, not to our ports, but
to the ports of Great Britain and of the oliler
continent of Europe. I do not stop to inquire
why or to make any comment on probable causes.
What interests us just now is not the explana-
tion, but the fact, and our duty and opportunity
in the presence of it. Here are markets which
we must supply, and we must find the means of
action. The United States, this great people
for whom we speak and act, should be ready, as
never before, to serve itself and to serve man-
kind; ready with its resources, its energies, its
forces of production and its means of distribu-
tion.
It is a very practical matter, a matter of ways
and means. We have the resources, but are we
ready to use them? And, If we can make ready
what we have, have we the means at hand to
distribute it? We are not fully ready; neither
have we the means of distribution. We are will-
lug, but we are not fully able. We have the
wish to serve and to serve greatly, generously ;
but we are not prepared as we should be. We
are not ready to mobilize our resources at onee.
We are not prepared to use them immediately
and at their best, without delay and without
waste.
To speak plainly, we have grossly erred in the
way in which we have stunted and hindered the
development of our merchant marine. And now,
when we need ships, we have not got them. We
have year after year debated, without end or
conclusion, the best policy to pursue with re-
gard to the use of the ores and forests and water
powers of our national domain in tue rich stat s
of the west, when we should have acted; and
they are still locked up. The key is still turned
upon them, the door shut fast at which thousands
of vigorous men, full of initiative, knock c,auior-
ously for admittance. The water power of our
navigable streams outside the national domain
also, even in the eastern states, where we have
worked and planned for generations, is still not
used as it might be. because we will and we
won't; because the laws \ve have made do not
intelligently balance encouragement against re-
straint. We withhold by regulation.
I have come to ask you to remedy and correct
these mistakes and omissions, even at this short
session of congress, which would certainly seem
to have done all the work that could reasonably
be expected of it. The time and the circum-
stances are extraordinary, and so must our ef-
forts be also.
Fortunately two great measures, finely con-
ceived, the one to unlock, with proper safeguards,
the resources of the national domain, the other
to encourage the use of the navigable waters out-
sid-i that domain for the generation of power,
have already passed the house of representatives
and are ready for Immediate consideration and
action by the senate. With the deepest earnest-
ness 1 urge their prompt passage. In them both
we turn our backs upon hesitation and makeshift
and formulate a genuine policy of use and con-
servation, in the best sense of those words. We
owe the one measure not only to the people of
that great western country for whose free and
systematic development, as it seems to me, our
legislation has done so little, but also to the
people of the nation as a whole; and we as clear-
ly owe the other in fulfillment of our repeated
promises that the water power of the country
should in fact as well as in name be put at the
disposal of great industries which can make eco-
nomical and profitable use of it, the rights of the
public being adequately guarded the while and
monopoly in the use prevented. To have 'begun
such measures and not completed them would
indeed mar the record of this great congress
very seriously. 1 hope and confidently believe
that they will be completed.
And there is another great piece of legislation
which awaits and should receive the sanction of
the senate; I mean the bill which gives a larger
measure of self-government to the people of the
Philippines. How better, in this time of anxious
questioning and perplexed policy, could we show
our confidence in the principles of liberty as the
source as well as the expression of life, how bet-
ter could we demonstrate our own self -possession
and steadfastness in the courses of justice and
disinterestedness than by thus going calmly for-
ward to fulfill our promises to a dependent peo-
ple, who will now look more anxiously than ever
to see whether we have indeed the libera'ity.
the unselfishness, the courage, the faith we have
boasted and professed. I cannot believe that the
senate will let this great measure of constructive
justice await the fiction of another congress. Its
passage would nobly crown the record of these
two years of memorable labor.
MERCHANT MARINE DEMANDED.
But I think that you will agree with me that
this does not complete the toll of our duty. How
are we to carry our goods to the empty markets
of which I have spoken if we have not the ships?
How are we to build up a great trade Jf we
ALMANAC AND TEAR-BOOK FOB 1915.

have not the certain and constant means of
transportation upon which all profitable and use-
ful commerce depends? And how are we to get
the ships If we wait for the trade to develop
without them? To correct the many mistakes by
which we have discouraged and all but destroyed
the merchant marine of the country, to retrace
the steps by which we have, it seems almost
deliberately, withdrawn our flag from the seas,
except where, here and there, a ship of war is
bidden carry It or some wandering yacht dis-
plays it, would take a long time and involve
many detailed items of legislation, and the trade
which we ought Immediately to handle woulJ
disappear or flnd other channels while we de-
baled the items.
The case is not unlike that which confronted
us when our own continent was to be opened up
to settlement and industry and we needed long
lines of railway, extended means of transporta-
tion prepared beforehand, if development was
not to lug intolerably and wait interminably.
We lavishly subsidized the building of trans-
continental railroads. We look back upon that
with regret now because the subsidies led to
many scandals of which we are ashamed: but
we know that the railroads had to be built and
if we had to do it over again we should, of
course, build them, but in another way.
Therefore I propose another way of providing
the means of transportation, which must pre-
cede, not tardily follow, the development of our
trade with our neighbor states of America. It
may seem a reversal of the natural order of
tilings, but it is true, that the routes of tr"d»
must be actually opened— by many ships and
regular sailings and moderate charges — before
streams of merchandise will flow freely and
profitably through them.
Hence the pending shipping bill, discussed at
the last session, but as yet passed by neither
house. In my judgment such legislation is im-
perativelv needed and cannot wisely be post-
poned. The government must open these gates
ol trade and open them wide; open them before
it Is altogether profitable to open them, or alto-
gether reasonable to ask private capital to open
them at a venture. It Is not a question of the
government's monopolizing the field. It should
take action to make it certain that transporta-
tion at reasonable rates will be promptly pro-
vided, even where the carriage is not at first
profitable: and then, when the carriage has be-
come sufficiently profitable to attract and engage
private capital and engage it in abundance, the
government ought to withdraw. I very earnestly
hope that the congress will be of this opinion
and that both houses will adopt this exceedingly
important bill.
RURAL CREDITS BILL.
The peat subject of rural credits still remains
to be dealt with and it is a matter of deep regret
that the difficulties of the subject have seemed
to render it Impossible to complete a bill for
passage at tl.is session. But It cannot be per-
fected yet and therefore there are no other con-
structive measures the necessity for which I wl'l
at this time call your attention to, but I woull
be negligent of a very manifest duty were I not
to call the attention of the senate to the fact
that the proposed convention for safety at sea
awaits its confirmation and that the limit flx°d
in the convention itself for Its acceptance is the
last day of the present month.
The conference in which this convention origi-
nated was calied by the United States; the repre-
sentatives of the United States played a very
influential part, indeed. In framing the provisions
of the proposed convention, and those provisions
are In themselves for the most part admirable.
It would hardly be consistent with the part we
have plaved In the whole matter to let it drop
ard go by the board as if forgotten and neg-
lected. It was ratified in May last by the Ger-
man government and in August by the parliament
of Great Britain. It marks a most hopeful and
decided advance in international civilization. We
should show our earnest good faith In a great
matter bj adding our own acceptance of It.
TO SAVE LIVES ON THE SEA.
There is another matter of which I must make
special mention, if 1 am to discharge my con-
science, lest it should escape your attention. It
may seem a very small thing. It affects only a
single item of appropriation. But many human
lives and many great enterprises hang upon it. It
Is the matter of making adequate provision for the
survey and charting of our coasts. It is immedi-
ately pressing and exigint in connection with
the immense coast line of. Alaska, a coast line
greater than that of the United States them-
selves, though it is also very important, indeed,
with regard to the older coasts of the continent.
We cannot use our great Alaskan domain, ships
will not ply thither, if those coasts and their
many hidden dangers are not thoroughly surveyed
and charted. The work is incomplete at almost
every point. Ships and lives have been lost in
threading what were supposed to be well known
main channels. We have not provided adequate
vessels or adequate machinery for the survey and
charting. We have used old vessels that were
not big enough or strong enough and which were
so nearly unseaworthy that our inspectors would
not have allowed private owners to send them to
sea. This is a matter which, as I have said,
seems small, but Is in reality very great. Its
importance has only to be looked into to be ap-
preciated.
DUTY OP ECONOMY IMPERATIVE.
Before I close may I say a few words upon
two topics, much discussed out of doors, upon
which it Is highly important that our judgments
should be clear, definite and steadfast?
One of these is economy in government expendi-
tures. The duty of economy is not debatable. It
Is manifest and imperative. In the appronrlatlons
we pass we are spending the money of the great
people whose servants we are — not our own. We
are trustees and responsible stewards in the
spending. The only thing debataMe and upon
which we should ba careful to make our thought
and purpose clear Is the kind of economy de-
manded of us. I assert with the greatest confi-
dence that the people of the United States are
not jealous of the amount their government costs
If they are sure that they get whnt they need
and desire for the outlay, that the money is
being spent for objects which they approve and
that it is being applied with good business sense
and management.
Governments grow piecemeal, both in their
tasks and in the means by which those tasks are
to be performed, and very few governments are
organized, I venture to say, as wise and ex-
perienced business men would organize them if
they had a clean sheet of paper to write imon.
Certainly the government of the United States
Is not.
I think that it is generally agreed that there
should be a systematic reorganization and reas-
sembling of its parts so as to secure greater ef-
ficiency and effect considerable savings in ex-
pense. But the amount of money saved in that
way would, I believe, though no doubt eonsid^r-
able In itself, running, it may be, into the
millions, be relatively small— small. I mean, in
proportion to the total necessary outlays of the
government. It would be thoroughly worth ef-
fecting, as every saving would, great or small.
Our duty is not altered by the scale of the sav-
ing. But my point Is that the people of the
I'nlted States do not wish to curtail the activi-
ties of this government; they wish, rather, to en-
Inrge them; and with every enlargement, with
the mere growth, Indeed, of the country itself,
there must come, of course, the inevitable in-
crease of expense. The sort of economy we
ought to practice may be effected, and ought to
be effected, by a careful study and assessment
of the tasks to be performed; and the money
spent ought to be made to yield the best possible
returns In efficiency and achievement. And 1'ke
pood stewards, we should BO account for every
dollar of our appropriations as to make it per-
fectly evident what It was spent for and in what
way it was spent.
It is not expenditure, but extravagance, that
168
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOB 1015.
we should fear being criticised for; not paying
for the legitimate enterprises and undertakings
of a great government whose people command
what it should do, but adding what will benefit
only a few or pouring money out for what need
not have been undertaken at all or might have
been postponed or better and more economically
conceived and carried out. The nation is not nig-
gardly; it is very generous. It will chide us only
if we forget for whom we pay money out and
whose money it is we pay. These are large and
general standards, but they are not very difficult
of application to particular cases.
POLICY OF PEACE.
The other topic I shall take leave to mention
goes deeper into the principles of our national
life and policy. It is the subject of national
defense.
It cannot be discussed without first answering
some very searching questions. It is said iu
some quarters that we are not prepared for war.
What is meant by being prepared? Is it meant
that we are not ready upon brief notice to put a
nation in the field, a nation of men trained to
arinsV Of course we are not ready to do that,
and we shall never be in time of peace so long
as we retain our present political principles ana
institutions. And what is it that is suggested
we should be prepared to do? To defend our-
selves against attack? We have always found
means to do that, and shall find them whenever
it is necessary without calling our people away
from their necessary tasks to render compulsory
military service in times of peace.
Allow me to speak with great plainness and
directness upon this great matter and to avow
my convictions with deep earnestness. I have
tried to know what America is, what her people
think, what they are, what they most cherish
and hold dear. I hope that some of their finer
passions are in my own heart — some of the great
conceptions and desires which gave birth to this
government and which have made the voice of
this people a voice of peace and hope and liberty
among the peoples of the world, and that, speak-
ing my own thoughts, I shall, at least in part,
speak theirs also, however faintly and inade-
quately, upo» this vital matter.
We are at peace with all the world. No one
who speaks counsel based on fact or drawn from
a just and candid interpretation of realities can
say that there is reason to fear that from any
quarter our independence or the integrity of our
territory is threatened. Dread of the power of
any other nation we are incapable of. We are
uot jealous of rivalry in the fields of commerce
or of any other peaceful achievement. We mean
to live our own lives as we will; but we mean
also to let live.
We are, indeed, a true friend to all the nations
of the world, because we threaten none, covet
the possessions of none, desire the overthrow of
none. Our friendship can be accepted and is
accepted without reservation, because it is of-
fered in a spirit and for a purpose which no one
need ever question or suspect. Therein lies our
greatness. We are the champions of peace and
of concord. And we should be very jealous of
this distinction which we have sought to earn.
Just now we should be particularly jealous of it,
because it is our dearest present hope that this
character and reputation may presently, in God's
providence, bring us an opportunity such as has
seldom been vouchsafed any nation — the oppor-
tunity to counsel and obtain peace in the world
and reconciliation and a healing settlement of
m«ny a matter that has cooled and interrupted
the friendship of nations.
This is the time above all others when we
should wish and resolve to keep our strength by
self-possession, our Influence by preserving our
ancient principles of action.
From the first we have had a clear and settled
policy with regard to military establishments.
We never have had, and while we retain our
present principles and ideals we never shall have,
a large standing army. If asked. Are you ready
to defend yourselves? we reply. Most assuredly,
to the utmost; and yet we shall not iturn Ameri-
ca into a military camp. We will not ask our
young men to spend the best years of their lives
making soldiers of themselves. There is another
sort of energy in us. It will know how to Ueci'are
itself and make itself effective should occasion
arise. And especially when half the world is
on fire we shall be careful to make our moral
insurance against the spread of the conflagration
very definite and certain and adequate indeed.
Let us remind ourselves, therefore, of the only
thing we can do or will do. We must depend
in tvery time of national peril, in the future
as in the past, not upon a standing army, nor
yet upon a reserve army, but upon a citizenry
trained and accustomed to arms. It will be right
enough, right American policy, based upon our
accustomed principles and practices, to provide
a system by which every citizen who will vol-
unteer for the training may be made famil-
iar with the use of modern arms, the rudi-
ments of drill and maneuver and the mainte-
nance and sanitation of camps. We should en-
courage such training and make it a means of
discipline which our young men will learn to
value. It is right that we should provide it
net only, but that we should make it as attrac-
tive as possible, and so induce our young men to
undergo it at such times as they can command
a little freedom and can seek the physical de-
velopment they need, for mure health's sake if
for nothing more.
Every means by which such things can be
stimulated is legitimate, end such a method
smacks of true American ideas. It is right, too,
that the national guard of the states should be
developed and strengthened by every means which
is not inconsistent with our obligations to our
own people or with the established policy of our
government. And this, also, not because tha
time or occasion specially calls for such meas-
ures, but because it should be our constant policy
to make these provisions for our national peace
and safety.
More than this carries with It a reversal of
the whole history and character of our polity.
More than this, proposed at this time, permit
me to say, would mean merely that we had lost
our self-possession, that we had been thrown "off
our balance by a war with which we have noth-
ing to do, whose causes cannot touch us, whose
very existence affords us opportunities of friend-
ship and disinterested service which should make
us ashamed of any thought of hostility or fear-
ful preparation for trouble. This is assuredly
the opportunity for which a people and a gov-
ernment like ours were raised up— the opportuni-
ty not only to speak but actually to embody and
exemplify the counsels of peace and amity and
the lasting concord which is based on justice
and fair and generous dealing.
A powerful navy we have always regarded as
our proper and natural means of defense and it
has always been of defense that we have thought
—never of aggression or of conquest. But who
shall tell us now what sort of navy to build?
We shall take leave to be strong upon the seas,
in the future as in the past, and there will be
no thought of offense or of provocation in that.
Our ships are our natural bulwarks. When will
the experts tell us Just what kind we should con-
struct, and when will they be right for ten years
together, if the relative efficiency of craft of
different kinds and uses continues to change as
we have seen it change under our very eyes in
these last few months?
But I turn away from the subject. It is not
new. There is no new need to discuss it. We
shall not alter our attitude toward it because
some among us are nervous and excited. We
shall easily and sensibly agree upon a policy of
defense. The question has not changed its
aspects because the times are not normal. Our
policy will not be for an occasion. It will be
conceived as a permanent and settled thing,
which we will pursue at all seasons, without
haste and after a fashion perfectly consistent
with the peace of the world, the abiding
friendship of states and the unhampered freedom
of all with whom we deal. Let there be no mis-

conception. The country has been misinformed.
We have not been negligent of national defense.
We are not unmindful of the great responsibility
resting upon us. We shall learn and profit by
the lesson of every experience and every new
circumstance, and what is needed will be ade-
quately done.
I close, as I began, by reminding you of the
great tasks and duties of peace which challenge
our best powers and invite us to build what will
last, the tasks to which we can address our-
selves now and at all times with free hearted
zest and with all the finest gifts of constructive
wisdom we possess. To develop our life and
our resources; to supply our own people, and the
people of the world as their need arises, from
the abundant plenty of our fields and our marts
of trade; to enrich the commerce of our own
states and of the world with the products of our
mines, our farms and our factories, with the
creations of our thought and the fruits of our
character— this is what will hold our attention
and our enthusiasm steadily, now and in the
years to come, as we strive to show in our life
as a nation what liberty and the inspirations of
an emancipated spirit may do for men and for
societies, for individuals, for states and for man-
kind.
GENERAL PEACE TREATIES OF 1914.
Eighteen treaties between the United States and
foreign countries for the advancement of the
cause of general peace were ratified by the
United States senate AUK. 13, 1914. Up to Nov.
1, 1914, twenty-nine of these treaties had been
signed with the prospects that they would all be
ratified by the countries concerned. The treaties
are substantially, the same in scope and charac-
ter and the text'of that with Italy is given here
as typical of all.
"The president of the United States of Ameri-
ca and his majesty the king of Itnlv, being de-
sirous to strengthen the bonds of amity that bind
the two countries, and also to advance the cause
of general peace, have resolved to enter into a
treaty for those purposes, and to that end have
appointed as thoir plenipotentiaries, the president
of the United States of America, the Hon. Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan, secretary of state; and his
majesty the king of Italy, his excellency the
Marquis Cusani Confalonieri. commander of the
Order of Saint Mnurice and Saint Lazarus, Grand
Cordon of the Order of the Crown of Italy, etc.,
his ambassador extraordinary ana plenipotentiary
at Washington.
"Who, after having communicated to each
other their respective full powers, found to be
in proper form, have agreed upon the following
articles:
ARTICLE I.
"The high contracting parties engage to sub-
mit for investigation and report to a commission,
to be constituted according to the provisions of
the following article, aM differences of whatever
nature they may be which may occur between
them which cannot be composed by diplomatic
methods or are not submitted to a tribunal of
arbitration; they bind themselves not to declare
war nor to open hostilities during the examina-
tion by the commission and before the commis-
sion has presented its report.
AKTICLB II.
"The international commission shall be com-
posed of five members appointed according to
the following rules: Each country, by means
of its government, chooses two members, one
from among its own subjects, tne other from
among those of a third state; the two govern-
ments, after agreement, will name the fifth mem-
ber, on condition, however, that he be not a
citizen of either of these two countries. Each
commissioner shall hold his place during a term
of four years; at the expiration of this term, or
in the event of vacancy, the confirmation or the
substitution of the commissioner whose term may
have expired or whose place may be vacant shall
be made in the same manner. Each of the high
contracting parties shall have the right, before
the investigation has begun, to substitute for one
of the members of the commission appointed by
It another one chosen from the category to
which the commissioner to be replaced belonged.
When the commissioners be actually occupied in
the examination of a question they shall receive
a compensation which will be mutually agreed
upon by the high contracting parties. The ex-
penses of the commission shall be borne by the
two governments in equal proportion. The 'inter-
national commission shall be appointed within six
months after the exchange of the ratifications of
this treaty.
ARTICLE III.
"In case the high contracting parties shall have
failed to adjust a dispute by diplomatic methods
or by means of a tribunal of arbitration, it shall
at once be referred, either by common agreement
or by one or the other party, to the international
commission for investigation and report. The
commission must inform the two governments of
the date on which it will begin its labors, invit-
ing them to furnish it with all the documents
and to lend it the co-operation necessary for the
investigation. The high contracting parties en-
gage to furnish all the documents and to alTord
all facilities for the investigation and the report,
provided that in their judgment this does not
conflict with the laws or with the supreme in-
terests of the state, and provided that the inter-
ests and rights of third states shall' not thereby
suffer damage. In the absence of an agreement
to the contrary between the high contracting par-
ties, the commission will itself adopt regulations
governing its procedure. The report of the com-
mission must be presented within a period of
one year after the date on which (ft shall declare
its investigation to have begun, unless the high
contracting parties may have shortened or pro-
longed by mutual agreement this term. The re-
port shall be prepared in triplicate: one copy
shall be presented to each government, and the
third shall be placed in the archives of the com-
mission. The high contracting parties reserve
to themselves the right to act independently on
the subject matter of the dispute after the com-
mission shall have presented its report.
ARTICLE IV.
"The present treaty shall be ratified by the
president of the United States of America, by
and with the advice and consent of the senate,
and by his majesty the king of Italy, and the
ratifications shall bo exchanged as soon as possi-
ble. The treaty will come into force, for a period
of five years, immediately after the exchange of
ratifications. It will thereafter remain in force
for twelve months more after one of the high
contracting parties shall have notified the other
of its intention to terminate it.
"In witness whereof the respective plenipoten-
tiaries have signed the present treaty and have
affixed thereunto their seals. Done in duplicate
in the English .and Italian languages at Wash-
ington this fifth day of May. in the year 1914*

residence of at least one year immediately pre-
ceding such entrance in Canada, Newfoundland.
Cuba or Mexico, nor upon aliens in transit
through the United States, nor upon aliens ar-
riving in Guam. Porto Rico or Hawaii.
Whenever the president shall be satisfied that
passports issued by any foreign government to
its citizens to go to any country other than the
United States or to any insular possession of the
United States or to the Canal Zone are being
used for the purpose of enabling the holders to
come to the continental territory of the United
States to the detriment of labor conditions there-
in, the president may refuse to permit such citi-
zens of the country issuing such passports to
enter the continental territory of the United
States from such other country or from such
insular possessions or from the Canal Zone.
The following classes are excluded from admis-
sion into the United States: All idiots, imbe-
ciles, feeble-minded persons, epileptics, insane
persons and persons who have been insane within
five years: persons who have had two or more
attacks of insanity at any time previously:

charge: professional beggars: persons afflicted

ous contagious disease: persons who have com-
mitted a felony or other crime Involving moral
turpitude: polygamists or persons who believe
in the practice of polygamy; anarchists or per-
sons who believe in or advocate the overthrow
by force or violence of the government of
the United States, or of all governments or of all
forms of law, or the assassination of public of-
ficials: prostitutes, or women and girls coming
into the United States for any Immoral purpose:
contract laborers who have been induced to mi-
grate to this country by offers of employment or
in consequence of agreements of any kind, verbal
,or written, express or implied, to perform labor
in this country of any kind, skilled or unskilled:
any person whose ticket or passage is paid for
with the money of another, or who is assisted
by others to come, unless it Is satisfactorily
shown that such person does not belong to one of
the foregoing excluded classes and that said
ticket or passage was not paid for by any cor-
poration, society, municipality or foreign govern-
ment, directly or indirectly: all children under
16 years of age unaccompanied by one or both
of their parents, at the discretion of the secre*
tary of labor. Nothing in the act shall exclude,
if otherwise admissible, persons convicted of an
offense purely political, not involving moral tur-
pitude. Skilled labor may be imported if labor
of like kind unemployed cannot be found in this
country. The provisions of the law applicable
to contract labor shall not be held to exclude
professional actors, artists, lecturers, singers,
clergymen, professors for colleges or seminaries,
persons belonging to any recognized learned pro-
fession or persons employed strictly as personal
or domestic servants.
It is unlawful to assist or encourage the im-
portation or migration of any alien by promise
of employment through advertisements printed
in any foreign country. This, however, does
not apply to states or territories advertising the
inducements they offer to immigration thereto.
All aliens brought to this country in violation
of law shall be immediately sent back by the
owners of the vessels bringing them. Any alien
entering the United States in violation of law
and such as become public charges from causes
existing prior to their landing shall be deported
at any time within three years after their ar-
rival.

tion to all organized government, or who advo-
cates or teaches the duty, necessity or propriety
of the unlawful assaulting or killing of any of-

ment, because of his or their official character,

FOUNDATION FOR THE PROMOTION OF

Established in 1907.
In 1906 President Theodore Roosevelt was
awarded the Alfred B. Nobel peace prize and at
his suggestion an act was passed by congress
March 2. 1907. establishing the Foundation for
the Promotion of Industrial Peace. To this or-
ganization he turned over the money received
from the Nobel committee to be used as the,
nucleus of a fund the income of which is to be
used in promoting an annual conference in Wash-
ington between representatives of capital and
of labor, with a view to bringing about a better
understanding between employers and employes,
thus promoting industrial peace. The chief jus-
tice of the United States Supreme court, the
secretary of 'agriculture and the secretary of
commerce and labor, and their successors in of-
flce, and four persons appointed by the presi-
dent of the United States to represent capital,
labor and general public, are the trustees. The
trustees are authorized to pay over the funds
from time to time to a committee of nine mem-
>ers. known as "the industrial peace committee."
whose duty it is to make arrangements for the
conferences.
OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI RIVER FLOODS.
[From official reports by Profs. Alfred G.
Henry and H. C. Frankenfeld of the weather
bureau, United States department of agriculture.]
According to the terminology adopted by the
United States weather bureau, a river is at
"flood stage" when it reaches a point at which
it overflows its banks and begins to damage
property in proximity thereto. This stage nat-
urally depends upon the height of the river
banks above low water. Three classes of floods
are distinguished, namely, (1) technical floods or
freshets during which the river does not pass
more than 1 foot above the flood stage; (2) se-
vere floods, to signify stages from 2 to 5 feet
above flood stage, and (3) great floods, to indi-
cate the greatest recorded floods.
OHIO RIVER FLOODS.
Severe floods in the Ohio river occurred In the
years 1882, 1883, 1884, 1897, 1907 and 1913; of
these the floods of 1S84, 1907 and 1913 may be
classed as "great floods." Two severe floods oc-
curred in each of the years 1907 and 1913. From
1832 to 1913 the Ohio river at Pittsburgh was 6
feet or more above flood stage on thirteen occa-
sions. In 1806.it reached a stage of 33.9 feet: in
1832 it reached a stage of 35 feet, which re-
mained the nignest or record until 1907. when it
reached 35.5. The following table shows Ohio
river floods of 5 feet or more above flood stage
at Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Cairo:

•Flood stage.
The great majority of these floods were due to
heavy rainfall in the Ohio basin; severe floods
occur almost invariably in January, February
and March, sometimes lapping over into April.
FLOOD OF MARCH, 1913.
The flood of March, 1913, was due to excessive
rain falling upon a surface already saturated.
Between March 23 and March 27, inclusive, the
rainfall was more than 10 inches over a large
district. More than 100 municipalities in Ohio
were affected by the flood, the total population
most directly, concerned numbering 1,388,000. The
total number of lives lost as nearly as could be
determined was 467. The approximate number of
residences flooded was 40,637 and of houses de-
stroyed 2,220. The loss of life in Indiana was
estimated at fifty-four.
The weather bureau devoted much labor and
time to collecting statistics of the losses to
property occasioned by the floods of March and
April, 1913. According to these figures the rail-

MISSISSIPPI RIVER FLOODS.
Of the lower Mississippi floods, the most nota-
ble occurred in 1815, 1828, 1844, 1849, 1850, 1851.
1858, 1859, 1862, 1865, 1867, 1874, 1882, 1884, 1890,
1893, 1897, 1903, 1912 and 1913, being twenty In
all, or an average of one flood to about each five
years. In the upper Mississippi river the years
of high water, as measured at St. Louis, were
1785, 1811, 1823, 1826, 1844, 1851, 1855, 1858, 1862.
1881, 1883, 1892, 1903 and 1909, being fourteen in
all, or an average of one flood to about each
nine years. The greatest lower Mississippi
floods, measured by the flood heights, occurred in
1912 and 1913, while in the upper Mississippi the
greatest flood was probably that of 1785, the
year of the high waters," when the river at
St. Louis is said to have reached a stage of 42
feet or half a foot higher than the stage of
June 28, 1844. This, however, is only tradition
and the flood of 1844 is usually considered to
have been the greatest of upper Mississippi and
lower Missouri floods. The following table shows
the highest stages and the dutes on which they
were reached at various points from Kansas City
on the Missouri to New Orleans on the Missis-
sippi:

Accurate comparisons of the damages caused
by the various floods in the Mississippi valley
cannot be made, as no attempt at careful esti-
mates of losses was made prior to 1912. It is
believed, however, that the flood of that year
holds the record, as either the area overflowed in
former years was less or the value of the prop-
erty destroyed was smaller. The official esti-
mate made by the weath.er bureau of the losses
and damages occasioned by the flood of 1912 was
$78,187,670 and of those caused by the flood of
1913 (in the Mississippi vnlley only) $11.139,074.
These figures do not include damages to levee*.
THE HOMESTEAD LAW.
Any person who is the head of a family, or
who is 21 years old and is a citizen of the
United States or has filed his declaration of
intention to become such, and who is not the
oroprietor of more than 160 acres of laud in any
state or territory, is entitled to enter one-
quarter section (160 acres) or less quantity of
unappropriated public land under the homestead
laws. The applicant must make affidavit that
he is entitled to the privileges of the homestead
act and that the entry is made for his exclu-
sive use and for actual settlement and culti-
vation, and must pay the legal fee and that
part of the commission required, as follows:
Fee for more than eighty acres, $10: for eighty
acres or less, $5: commission. $1 for each forty-
acre tract entered outside the limits of a rail-
road grant and $2 for each forty-acre tract en-
tered within such limits. Within six mouths
from the date of entry - the settler must take
up his residence upon the land unless an ex-
tension of time is granted, and cultivate the
name for three years. He may absent himself
each year for one or two periods of not ex-
ceeding five months in the aggregate, but notice
must be given. During the second year not
less than one-sixteenth of the area entered must
be actually cultivated, and during the third year
and until final proof cultivation of not less
than one-eighth is required. There must be ac-
tual breaking of the soil followed by planting,
sowing of seed and tillage for a crop other
than native grasses. Summer fallowing or graz-
ing of cattle cannot be accepted. The home-
stead entryman must have a habitable house
upon the land entered at the time of submitting
proof. Other improvements should be of such
character and amount as are sufficient to show
good faith.
Either final or commutation proof may be madf
at any time when it can be shown that resi-
dence and cultivation have been maintained in
good faith for the required length of time and
to the required extent. Proof under the- act of
June 6, 1912, must be submitted within five years
after the date of the entry, while proof sub-
mitted under the law in force before that date
must be made within seven years after the date
of the entry. Failure to submit proof within the
proper period is ground for cancellation of the
entry unless good reason for the delay appears.
ENLARGED HOMESTEADS.
The acts of February 19. 1909, June 17, 1910,
and June 13. 1912 (37 Stat.. 101), extending the
first named act to North Dakota and California,
provide for the making of homestead entries for
areas of not exceeding 320 acres of public lands
in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado.
Idaho, Montana. Nevada, New Mexico. North

ALMANAC AND YEAE-BOOK FOR 1915.
Dakota. Oregon. Utah, Washington and Wyoming,
designated by the secretary of the interior as
nonmineral. nontimbered, nonirrigable. As to
Idaho, the act of June 17 1910, provides that
the lands must be "arid. The terms "arid"
and "nonirrigable" land, as used in these acts.
are construed to mean land which, as a rule.
lacks sufficient rainfall to produce agricultural
crops without the necessity of resorting to un-
usual methods of cultivation, such as the sys-
tem commonly known as "dry farming." and for
which there is no known source of water suv/ply
from which such land may be successfully Ir-
rigated at a reasonable cost.

THE PAN-AMERICAN UNION.
The Pan-American union was established upon
the recommendation of the first international
American conference in 1890 for the purpose of
maintaining closer relations between the repub-
lics of the western hemisphere. Its duties have
been broadened since then and it is now a general
clearing house of information concerning the na-
tions of North, South and Central America. It
publishes a monthly bulletin in which are given
the latest official data concerning the resources,
commerce and other features of the republics.
The officers of the union occupy a fine building
at the corner of 17th street and Potomac park
in Washington. D. C. The structure, which was
built with money given by Andrew Carnegie, was
dedicated April 26, 1910. Following are the offi-
cers:
Director-General — John Barrett.
Assistant Director — Francisco J. Yanes.
Chief Statistician— William C. Wells.
Chief Clerk— Franklin Adams.
Chief Translator— Emilio M. Amores.
Librarian— Charles E. BabcocK.

CENTENNIAL OF ADMISSION OF ILLINOIS.
The following resolution was adopted by the
Illinois state senate Feb. 20 and concurred in by
the house April 8, 1913.
"Whereas. Illinois was admitted to the union
of states Dec. 3, 1818, the centennial anniversary
thereof being rapidly approaching, and it being
meet and tit that the state which has given of
its sons so liberally to the progress of the na-
tion and the world during the period of its state-
hood should fittingly ouserve its hundredth anni-
versary by a celebration which shall do honor to
itself and to the nation:
"Resolved, by the senate, the house of repre-
sentatives concurring. That a commission, con-
sisting of five members of the senate and five
members of the house of representatives of the
forty-eighth general assembly, shall be appointed
to have charge of the preliminary arrangements,
of such celebration to be held in Springfield, the
state capital, on such centennial date, and to
det( rmine, as may be, the character and necessi-
ties of such celebration, and to report the result
of its findings to the forty-ninth general as-
sembly; such joint commission to hold its meet-
ings in the city of Springfield at such time or
times as may be necessary to successfully in-
augurate such movement."
Subsequently by another joint resolution E. J.
James, B. B. Greene and J. W. Garner of the
University of Illinois and Mrs. Jessie Palmer
Webber and Dr. Otto L. S<hmidt of the Illinois
Historical society were appointed as additional
members of the committee. The sum of $10,000
was appropriated to defray the expenses of the
commission.
At a meeting held in Springfield July 22 Sena-
tor Campbell S. H>'arn was elected chairman and
Mrs. Jessie Palmer Webber secretary. The fol-
lowing proposals were adopted:
1. Promotion of local celebrations throughout
the state.
2. Holding of a state celebration at the capital,
consisting of an exposition and a pageant illus-
trative of the social, economic and educational
development of the state.
3. Preparation of a series of publications put
ting into permanent form the record of the

Diund J. Jamos of the University of Illinois. His
suggestion, similar to that of the commission's,
was to have chief celebrations in Springfield, at
the University of Illinois, which completes its
fiftieth year of organization in 1918, and in Chi-
cago. Lesser celebrations are suggested for the
county seats.

ILLINOIS SUFFRAGE LAW CONSTITUTIONAL.
The Illinois woman's suffrage act of 1913 was
declared constitutional by the state Supreme
court, the decision of which was handed down
June 13, 1914. The court was divided in its
opinion, four voting to uphold tne validity of the
law and three dissenting. Justice Frank K.
Dunn of Charleston wrote the majority opinion,
in which he was joined by Justice James H.
Cartwright of Oregon, Justice Orrin N. Carter
of Chicago and Justice Alonzo K. Vickers of East
St. Louis, all republicans. The dissenting opin-
ions were filed by Justice George A. Cooke of
Aledo. Justice Charles C. Craig of Galesburg and
Justice William M. Farmer of Vandalia, all
democrats. The decision came in the suit filod
by William J. Scown in the Superior court in
Chicago. As a taxpayer he demanded that the
election commissioners of Chicago be forbiddei)
to incur expense in providing facilities for women
voting at the February primaries in 1914 on the
ground that the suffrage act of 1913 was uncon-
stitutional. The bill was dismissed for want of
equity by the Superior court chancellor, after
which an appeal was taken to the state Supreme
court. Counsel for Mr. Scown contended that
the -act was in effect an amendment to the state
constitution and as such could not be sanctioned.
The point was also raised that the suffrage act
really amended the general election law. although
no reference was made in its title to its amend-
atory effect as required by law.
These arguments were overruled by the ma-
jority opinion, which was that the right of women
to vote for all offices not established by the state
constitution had been determined in principle by
the decision handed down thirty years ago in the
case of Plummer vs. Yost, which involved the
right of women to vote for school officers.

CHICAGO'S BRIDGE SYSTEM.
The first ferry across the river was established
in 1829, where the Lake street bridge now Is.
In 1833 a floating bridge of logs was in operation
just north of the present Randolph street bridge.
A foot bridge over the north branch was built
in 1832 at Kinzie street. The first drawbridge
over the main branch of the river was placed at
Dearborn street in 1834. In 1854 a pivot bridge
was built at Clark street. These and other
bridges of that time were built by the persons
most directly benefited by them. It was not
until 1857 that a bridge was built entirely at
the city's expense. This was the structure over
the south branch at Madison street. It cost
$30.000. Until 1872 the swing bridges were turned
by hand, but in the year named steam power
was installed on the Dearborn street structure
and later on most of the other bridges in the
downtown section were similarly equipped. In
1895 the Rush, Lake and Van Bureu street
bridges were operated by electric motors. The
last named structure, which was opened for traf-
fic in that year, was the first of the Scherzer
rolling type. The Halsted street lift bridge, the
first and only one of its kind, was opened in
1894 and was operated by steam. It cost th»>
city $242,880.
Of the bridges operated by the city thirty-five
are operated by electricity and fourteen by hand
power. Fourteen are bascule bridges of various
types, twelve are rolling lift bridges, one is a
vertical lift bridge and the others are swing
bridges.

ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
DOUBLE DECKED BASCULE BRIDGE TO CONNECT NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE BOULEVARDS.
Plans for properly connecting the south and
north side boulevard systems of Chicago by
means of widening Michigan avenue and a new
bridge over the river began to be studied seri-
ously in 1905 by committees of various public-
bodies, such as the city council, real estate
boards, park boards and by architects and other
private individuals. In 1906. 1907 and 1908 Daniel
H. Burnham ana Edward H. Bennett, architects,
working under the direction of the 'Commercial
club, .prepared the famous "Plan of Chicago."
of which one feature was the Michigan avenue
improvement project. Nov. 1, 1909, the Chicago
Plan commission, representing the official ad-
ministration and the public generally, was cre-
ated by the city council in response to an of-
ficial request from Mayor Fred A. Busse, who
appointed its members. It held its first meet-
ing Nov. 4 in that year and elected Charles H.
Wacker as president. The duty of the com-
mission was to carry out as far as practicable
from time to time the ideas formulated in the
Commercial club, or as it Is often called, the
Burnbam plan.
Study of the Michigan avenue project was be-
gun at once by the commission and after a
long series of meetings ana conferences it
adopted, July 10, 1911, a plan which was pre-
sented two days later to the board of local
improvements for its consideration. June 2. 1913,
that body submitted to the city council an or-
dinance for carrying the plan Jnto effect and
July 14 the ordinance was passed. Some of the
property owners affected began proceedings at-
tacking the validity of the ordinance and in
December the State Supreme court made a
ruling in which it declarea that the ordinance
was invalid because of faulty description of
land involved in the project. A revised ordi-
nance, correcting the errors pointed out by the
court, was introduced in the council and finally
passed by that body March 23, 1914, without
opposition.
The ordinance as passed calls for the im-
provement of a thoroughfare extending from
Randolph street northward along Michigan ave-
nue, over the river, thence over private prop-
erty and along Pine street and Lincoln parkway
to Chicago avenue. Michigan avenue is to be
widened to 127.5 feet and that part of the new
thoroughfare north of the river is to be 141
feet wide. The improvement is to consist of it
two-level roadway comprising an upper level
extending the entire distance between Randolph
street and Chicago avenue and supported be-
tween Lake street and Grand avenue upon an
elevated steel and concrete structure, and a
lower level extending from Lake street to
Grand avenue. The bridge is to be double decked
and of the bascule type, the upper level con-
necting the parts of the upper level of the
thoroughfare and the lower level connecting the
portions of the lower level of the thoroughfare
north and south of the river. The upper level
of the bridge is to be ninety feet wide and the
lower level sixty feet. The structure is to have
a clear span between the abutments of 220 feet.
The upper level Is to be nsed by pleasure ve-
hicles and the lower level Is to carry heavy
traffic.
The total cost of the entire Improvement, in-
cluding land to be taken, is* estimated at about
$7.000,000. The cost of the bridge, elevated
structure, walls and excavations, pavements
lighting and bridge machinery alone, without
land damages, is estimated at $2,298,247.

GENERAL INFORMATION.
The Chicago public library is a free public in-
stitution, established under the Illinois library
law of 1872. It derives its revenue from an an-
nual library tax of approximately four-tenths of
a mill. A board of directors of nine members is
appointed by the mayor, three annually for terms
of three years. The library occupies the site
formerly known as Dearborn park, bounded by
Michigan avenue, Washington street. Garland
court and Randolph street. The cost of the build-
ing was about $2.000,000, including the furniture,
book stacks and machinery. There are thirty-
two branches and 111 delivery stations.
The right of drawing books from the public
library belongs to all who reside in the city of
Chicago, and also to those who make their homes
in the suburbs within the limits of Cook coun-
ty and are regulaily employed in the city. In or-
der to become a book borrower it is . necessary
only to file an application giving the name and
residence of the applicant and bearing the signa-
ture of a second person, wl>o must be an actual
resident of the city, appearing as such in the
latest city directory. This person becomes the
guarantor to the library for the proper observance
of the library regulations on the part of the ap-
plicant. These regulations merely provide that
i >ooks drawn for home use must be returned with-
in the stated period aiid must not be defaced or
injured.
At the close of May 31. 1914. the public library
fcntalned 571.358 volumes. The aggregate circu-
lation for the year ending May 31. 1914. was
3.428,638 volumes, which does not include the use
of books kept on the open shelves at the .main
library or its branches or the periodicals or news-
papers used in the reading rooms. This use
would bring the total book issue to 4.500.000.

of schools of art and design, the formation and
exhibition of collections of objects of art and
the cultivation and extension of the arts of de-
sign by any appropriate means." The museum

the various departments of art education.
The school is conducted ni-on the most modern
methods and has grown to be the most compre-
hensive and probably the largest fine arts school

MUSIC IN
CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
Founded by Theodore Thomas.
The Theodore Thomas orchestra was organized
in Chicago in 1890-1891 by a number vt men in-
terested in promoting the highest <:lass of instru-
mental music. The Orchestral nssochition was
incorporated Dec. 16, 1890, and Theodore Thomas,
famous for many years as a conductor, was en-
caged to lead the new organization, which was
then named the Chicago orchestra. The prepara-
tions were completed in 1891 and the first public
rehearsal was given at the Auditorium Friday
afternoon, Oct. 16, of that year. Financially the
result of the first season was discouraging, the
fifty or more gentlemen guaranteeing the expenses
being compelled to meet a deficit of about $53,000..
Receipts, however, continued to increase from
year to year until the orchestra was finally
placed on a permanent basis. This was accom-
plished when Orchestra hall, erected by sub-
scriptions from more than 8,000 persons, was
erected at 220 South Michigan avenue, and the
organization was provided with a home of its
own. The first concert there was given Wednes-
day evening, Dec. 14, 1904. Theodore Thomas
ilied Jan. 4, 1905. and the orchestra, which until
then had been called the Chicago orchestra, was
named the Theodore Thomas orchestra. Feb. 24,
1913, the title was changed to the Chicago Sym-
phony orchestra (founded by Theodore Thomas),
Frederick Stock, after the death of Mr. Thomas,
was made conductor, a position he still holds.
The plan of giving two performances a week—
a public rehearsal on Friday afternoon and a
concert on Saturday evening — has been followed
from the beginning. The season consists of
twenty-eight weeks, beginning in October and
ending in April.
The first officers of the Orchestral association
were: 'N. K. Fairbank, president: C. Norman
Fay, vice-president; P. A. McEwan. treasurer
and secretary: Milward Adams, manager.

$800,000 has been donated by other individuals
and there is an annual income from other
sources than endowment of about $25,000. The
citizens of Chicago have confirmed legislative
provision for the levy of a tax for the main-
tenance of the museum iwben a new building
shall have been erected, which it is estimated
will eventually produce approximately $100,000
i>er aunuir.
The nucleus of the exhibition material was
gathered by gift and purchase at the World's
Columbian exposition. Most of this material,
however, has since been rearranged, readapted
or discarded. Several departments created at the
organization have been abandoned, nntil, after
the lapse of twenty years and the expenditure
of approximately $6,000,000, the museum is now
divided into four departments — namely, anthro-
pology, botany, geology and zoology. Many ex-
peditions for the purpose of obtaining study, ex-
hibition and exchunge material and data have
been dispatched to all parts of North America
and to different countries. The results of these
expeditions, investigations and researches have
been published by the museum from time to time,
which publications have been distributed to
kindred societies and institutions both at home
and abroad. Two courses of free lectures are
given annually. An important contribution of
$250,000 by Norman W. Harris was announced
in December, 1911, for the extension of the work
of the museum into the public schools of Chi-
cago. The plans for carrying out Mr. Harris'
wishes were placed in operation in the spring
of 1913. The museum has a working library of
about 03,000 titles, an extensive exchange system,
fully equipped departmental laboratories, a
herbarium of 286,000 sheets, study collections in
mammals and birds reaching many thousand speci-
mens, a large two story taxidermy section, a
well equipped printing shop, illustration studios
and assaying and lapidary rooms. In North
American ethnology, in the world's mineralogy,
in economic botany the museum is particularly
prominent, while its series of mounted mammals
furnishes examples of advanced museum methods.
The present main building covers nine acres and
is open to the public on all days except Christ-
mas and Thanksgiving. An admission fee of 25
cents is charged except on Saturdays and Sun-
days, when admission is free to all. Students,
scholars and teachers are admitted free on all
days between 9 a. m. and 4 p. m.
The museum is incorporated under state law
and the administrative control rests in a board
of trustees with president, secretary, etc. The
executive of the museum is the director, under
whom there are four head curators with divi-
sional assistant curators, preparators, etc. The
entire museum records, the accessions system,
the historical files, publications and supplies are
in charge of a recorder.
FREIGHT TUNNELS
Underlying' nearly all the streets in the central
business section of Chicago are sixty miles of
tunnels connecting the freight terminals of the
railroads with commercial houses. The tunnels
are provided, with narrow-gauge (2 ft.) electric
railroads equipped with electric locomotives and
steel cars. These are used chiefly in transport-
ing goods to and from railroad freight yards
and in carrying coal to business houses. Ex-
cavated and waste material from new buildings
is removed through the tunnels and disposed of.
permitting the work of construction to go on
without interruption. In 1914 the Chicago Utili-
ties company, which now owns the tunnel sys-
tem, had in operation 117 electric motors and
3,000 coal, freight and other cars. In addition
it had charge of some 24,000 telephones.
The original franchise for the tunnel system
was granted Feb. 20, 1899, to the Illinois Tele-
phone and Telegraph company, 'which was organ-
ized in 1908 by A. G. Wheeler and associates.
UNDER CHICAGO.
for the purpose of establishing an independent
telephone system. By an amendatory ordinance
granted July 15, 1903, the company was given the
right to construct and operate a subway system
for the transportation of mail matter, news-
papers, packages and freight generally. The
tunnels are 19 feet below city datum or 33 feet
be!ow the surface of the streets, the trunk line
tunnels being limited in size to 12 feet 9 inch-
es in width by 14 feet in height, and the smaller
ones to 6 feet in width and 7 feet 6 inches in
height. Part of the tunnel system was put into
operation Aug. 15, 1906, but the whole of it was
not in use until Sept. 1, 1907.
The Illinois Telephone and Telegraph company
was succeeded in October, 1903, by the Illinois?
Tunnel company, which was followed in Novem-
ber, 1904, by the Chicago Subway company. The
property of the Subway company and underly-
ing concerns was acquired in April, 1912, by the
Chicago Utilities company, the authorized capi-
tal stock of which is $53,000,000.

WEST SIDE RAILWAY TERMINAL ORDINANCES.
Ordinances for a new union passenger station
and new freight terminals on the west side were
passed by the city council March 23, 1914, after
many months of investigation and consideration.
The measures passed by a vote of sixty-three to
three, the only aldermen voting against them
being Kunz, Hey and Kearns. Under the ordi-
nances the union passenger station, to be occu-
pied by the Pennsylvania, Burlington, Alton and
St. Paul railroads, is to be located on the block
bounded by Canal, Adams, Clinton and Jackson
streets. Under Canal street there will be a sub-
way connecting a large concourse on the east
of that thoroughfare with the station. Sixteen
passenger tracks will lead to the south and ten
to the north. This part of the passenger ter-
minal will reach practically from Carroll avenue
on the north to 12th street on the south. The
Pennsylvania freight houses will be located im-
mediately north of 12th street and extend to
Taylor street, whilo the Burlington freight houses
will be between Harrison and Taylor streets and
near Canal street. In exchange for rights in
certain streets the railroads agreed to make im-
provements as follows :
Improvements. Cost.
Viaduct, Monroe street $100,000
Viaduct, 12th street 270.000
Viaduct, Congress street 300,000
Viaducts, 14th and 16th streets 400,000
Viaducts, Taylor, Polk, Harrison, Van
Buron, Jackson, Adams, Madison, Ran-
dolph and Lake streets 1,760,000
Elevated roadway. Canal and Kinzie
streets 650,000
Revamping of Canal street, Washington
to 12th street 2,375,000
Total $5, 855, 000
To fit in wUh these improvements the city
agreed to the following improvements at the costs
estimated:
Bridge, Monroe street $500,000
Double decked bridge, Kinzie street 600,000
Land to widen Canal street to 100 feet.. 760., 753
Total $1,860,753
In addition, the roads agreed to pay $1,511,000
in cash compensation.
The total cost to the railroads of the improve-
ments under the terminal ordinances was esti-
mated at $65,000,000, exclusive of money previous-
ly paid for land. Coupled with the terminal or-
dinances was a resolution providing for the cre-
ation of an expert railway terminal commission
which is to make a study of the entire terminal
situation in Chicago. Of the seven members of
the commission four were to be selected by the
mayor and three by the citizens' terminal plan
committee and the Chicago plan commission.

CHICAGO OUTER HARBOR PLANS.
Four outer harbor sites along Chicago's lake
front were established by the city council Nov.
20. 1911. The ordinances provided for the follow-
ing districts:
No. 1— From the mouth of the Chicago river
north to Chicago avenue and extending one mile
into Lake Michigan.
Xo. 2 — From the mouth of the Chicago river
south to Randolph street and extending one mile
into the lake.
No. 3— From the south end of Grant park south
to 3lst street and extending one mile into the
lake.
No. 4— -All of the Calumet river within the city
and all of Lake Calumet.
Feb. 7, 1912, the harbor and subway icommission
submitted to the council committee on harbors,
wharves and bridges preliminary plans and
drawings for the initial development of "outer
harbor district No. 1." In this report the com-
mission stated that it had proceeded on the
theory that joint and parallel action by the fed-
eral government would be taken to protect the
initial piers recommended by the construction of
an adequate outer breakwater. The plan pro-
posed by the commission provided for the con-
struction of five piers extending eastward from
the shore line between the mouth of the Chicago
river and Chicago avenue, with a uniform length
for four pici-s of 2,500 feet and one pier of 3.000
feet. The detailed plans were for the construc-
tion of two piers only— one for freight and one
lor passengor purposes. The water slips between
the piers were to be 300 feet wide. The piers
were to be 292 feet wide with an eighty foot road-
way in the center. The outer 645 feet of the
passenger pier, which was to be 3,000 feet long,
was to be reserved for boats with an exclusively
passenger traffic. Part of the pier was to be
used for recreation purposes. The estimated cost
of these two piers was $4,400,000. The plan made
provision for adequate street car service.
At the election of April 3, 1912, a proposition
to issue $5,000,000 in bonds for harbor construc-
tion was approved by popular vote. With plans
prepared, the consent of the government secured
and financial means provided, it seemed as if an
actual beginning would be made in the construc-
tion of an outer harbor, but July 25, 1912, it was
announced by Mayor Harrison and Corporation
Counsel Seyton that the legislative act known as
the O'Connor harbor law contained a "joker" in
the shape of a provision prohibiting the city
from purchasing or acquiring any title to prop-
erty along the lake shore line where it hais been
filled in or where riparian or littoral rights arc
in dispute. Certain property which it was do-
sired to use for harbor purposes was claimed by
the Chicago Canal and Dock company, which had
leased its holdings to the Pugh Terminal Ware-
house company. The Pugh company was willing
to treat with the city, but the 'Corporation coun-
sel held that the provision referred to would
have to be eliminated from the act by legislative
action before anything further could t>e done.
The work of harbor constx-uction was therefore
halted to await further legislative action. Tho
harbor law was re-enacted by the legislature in
June, 1913, in amended form, and Aug. 21 a deal
was closed by the city with the Chicago Canal
and Dock company for land along the lake shore
between Indiana and Ohio streets on which to
construct a recreation pier and wharf. The price
paid was $300,000. Bids on the construction work
were opened in December and the actual work
of building the first pier was begun March 16,
1914.

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WITHIN CHICAGO.
[From report of Chicago B
There are nineteen distinct governing agencies
in the territory that Chicago comprises, most of
them absolutely independent of one another.
They are:
City of Chicago.
Board of education.
Library board.
Municipal tuberculosis sanitarium.
Cook county.
Sanitary district of Chicago.
South park commissioners.
West Chicago park commissioners.
Lincoln park commissioners.
Ridge avenue park commissioners.
North shore park commissioners.
ureau of Public Efficiency.]
Calumet park commissioners.
Fernwood park commissioners.
Ridge park commissioners.
Irving park commissioners.
Northwest park commissioners.
Old Portage park commissioners.

The board of education, the library board and
the tuberculosis sanitarium, while having their
separate tax levies, are subject to a degree to
control by the mayor and city council. The
othor bodies named are independent of one an-
other. The state public utilities commission,
though not a taxing body, is, in a sense, an-
other governmental agency in the city.

collector; on property outside the city to the

lage collector at his office.

be addec
May 1 of each year all unpaid taxes on real
estate are delinquent and a charge at the rate
cent per month on general taxes must
by the county collector. The county
collector applies shortly after the June term
(usually in July) for judgment against all de-
linquent property in the county and at the same
time a court order for the sale of all unpaid
general taxes and special assessments is ob-
tained. Objections to such judgment and sale
must be made in writing and be filed in the of-
fice of the clerk of the County court.
On or shortly after Aug. 1 the collector and
'Clerk begin the annual tax sale and sell all real
estate upon which judgment has been given. The
penalty for the redemption of real estate sold
for taxes may be as high as 25 per cent, which
penalty is added to the amount of taxes sold
each six months after the date of sale.
Redemption of real estate sold for taxes must
be made at the office of the county clerk before
the expiration of two years. Penalties increase
each six months after date of sale and two
years is the limit allowed for redemption. A
penalty of 7 per cent must be included in re-
demptions, the same being charged on account
of any and all taxes or assessments which may
have accrued subsequent to the date of sale, un-
less such assessments or taxes have been puid
by the person making the redemption.
Tax deeds on unredeemed tax sales will neces-
sarily be Issued by the county clerk upon proper
application after the time for redemption (two
years) expires. Alter the tax deed is issued the

PROPOSED PASSENGER SUBWAY SYSTEM FOK CHICAGO.
The harbor and subway commission and the
subcommittee of the council committee on
local transportation submitted a joint report
Sept. 10, 1912, on a "comprehensive scheme of
subways which shall extend into the outlying
districts and which shall be designed to remedy
the existing traction evils of the city of Chi-
cago." The general plan recommended was a
high level subway as close as possible to the
surface of the streets and avoiding all grade
crossings. The power syftem contemplated com-
prised alternating current generation and dis-
tribution and direct current operation of motors.
The estimates were based on a third rail direct
current system of conductors. The capacity of
the subways outlined in the report was estimated
at 180, COO seats per hour.
PROPOSED ROUTES.
Following were the routes recommended:
North to South Side— Beginning at Lawrence
avenue and Broadway, a two track subway In
Broadway to Irving Park boulevard and Halsted
street; south in Halsted to Fullerton avenue.
Beginning at Lawrence and Lincoln avenues, a
two track subway in Lincoln avenue to Halsted
street and Fullerton avenue.
The two subways from the north joining at
Halsted street and Fullerton avenue are con-
tinued as a four track subway southeast in Lin-
coln avenue to Clark street; south in Clark street
to some point just north cf the river (subject
to further engineering investigation). Thence a
two track subway for express trains south in
Clark street to Polk street or some street far-
ther south; east in Polk street or some other
street to State street; south in State street in
a four track subway to 55th street. A
two track subway east in 55th street to Cot-
tage Orove avenue; south in Cottage Grove ave-
nue to 79th street. Transfers can be made from
this subway at Fullerton avenue to the Halsted
street subway; at Clark and Madison streets to
the Madison street subway; at Harrison and
Clark streets to the southwest subway.
North Side to Southwest Side— Two of the four
tracks from the North Clark street subway con-
tinue in a two track subway east from Clark
street to State street; thence south in State
street to Harrison street; west in a two track
subway in Harrison street to Halsted street and
Blue Island avenue; thence contim'ing southwest
in Blue Island avenue to 22d street and Ashland
avenue; west in 22d afreet to Marshall boulevard;
south in Marshall boulevard to 26th street; west
in 26th street to South Crawford avenue. Transfers
can be made from the subway at Fullerton ave-
nue to the Halsted street subway, at State street
to the "Northwest Side to South Side" subways,
at Halsted and Harrison streets to Halsted street
subway.
Northwest Side to South Side — Beginning at
Klston and Kedssie avenues, a two track subway
in Elston avenue southeast to Belmont and Cali-
fornia avenues; south in California avenue to
Milwaukee avenue; southeast in Milwaukee ave-
nue to Desplaines or Canal street. Continuing
south in Desplaines or Canal street to Randolph
street; east in 'Randolph street to State street;
south in State street in the four track subway
to 55th street and State street; thence west in
55th street in a two track subway to Western
avenue. Transfers can be made from the subway
at Milwaukee avenue and Halsted street to the
Halsted street subway; at State street to the
"North Side to Southwest Side" subway; at 55th
street and Halsted street to Halsted street sub-
way.
A two track subway In Armltage avenue from
North Crawford avenue to Milwaukee avenue, con-
necting with the Elston-Mllwaukee avenue line.
Halsted Street— Beginning at the junction of
the Lincoln avenue and Broadway lines at Fuller-
ton avenue, a two track subway in Halsted
street to 79th street. Transfers can be made
from this subway at Fullerton avenue to the
"North Side to South Side" and the "North Side
to Southwest Side" subways; at Milwaukee ave-
nue to the "Northwest Side to South Side" sub-
way; at Harrison street to the "North Side to
Southwest Side" subways; at 55th street to the
'•Northwest Side to South Side" subway.
Madison Street— Beginning at South Clark
street, a two track subway in Madison street to
Crawford avenue. Transfers can be made from the
subway at Halsted street to the Halsted street
subway: at Clark and Madison streets to the
"North Side to South Side" subway. This sub-
way may eventually be extended south in Clark
street and other streets to serve the south-
western part of the city.
ESTIMATED COST OF SUBWAYS.
North side to Lawrence avenue $20,123,000
South sid«? to 79th street 25,778.000
West side to Crawford avenue 31,049,000
Halsted street 19,307,000
Total ..................................... 96,257.000
Estimated cost of equipment ............. 34,844,000
Total .................................... 131,101*000
The equipment will be furnished by the operat-
ing company.
T
.
wo plans for financing the project were sug-
gested. One was to have the city build the sub-
ways out of the proceeds of legalized Mueller
certificates and the other to have them built by
private capital under such conditions as would
insure absolute municipal control. It was subse-
quently ascertained that the scheme could not
be financed by the issuance of Mueller certifi-
cates.
The joint report was signed by John Ericsou.
James J. Reynolds and E. C. Shankland of the
harbor and subway commission and by Aldermen
Eugene Block (chairman), John A. Richert, Pat-
rick J. Carr, William F. Schultz, William J.
Healy. Henry D. Capitain and Charles Twigg.
subcommittee of the council committee on local
transportation.
ARNOLD SUBWAY PLAN.
Little or no progress was made with the sub-
way project in 1913, but the matter was taken
up by the council transportation committee in
the fall and expert advice was sought. A plan
submitted by Bion J. Arnold received favorable
consideration from the committee. He recom-
mended that the city proceed to the construction
of two initial subways for the use of the surface
lines. The north and south route, he said, should
be under Clark street from North avenue to 22d
street. For the ea»t and west bores he outlined
a "loop back" in the downtown section, entering
it by way of the Washington street tunnel, pro-
ceeding east to Michigan avenue and leaving
the loop by the Van Buren street tunnel, and
vice versa.
Ha estimated the first of these routes to cost
$9,600.000 and the second $4,900.000, a total of
$14,500,000. This figure, he pointed out, is well
within the amount held available under the sub-
way provisions of the traction ordinances. The
city had $11,000,000 in its subway fund, it would
receive another $2,000,000 next April, and it coulu
compel th-i companies to contribute $5,000,000,
making the total $18,000,000.
DEVELOPMENTS IN 1914.
No bids having been received for the construc-
tion of the $130,000,000 comprehensive system of
subways favored by Mayor Harrison, the members
of the harbor and subway commission appointed
in 1911 resigned in a body Jan. 7. 1914. on the
ground that there was nothing further for them
to do. For the completion of work in connection
with the north side municipal pier the commis
sion was continued, but changed so as to include
the city comptroller, commissioner of public
works and B. C. Shankland, who was made
chairman. The secretary of the commission Is
W. O. Johnson. The office is In the City Hall
Square building, 139 North Clark street,

HE A. T. WILLETT COMPANY began in 1868
with twenty horses. The one horse two
wheel dray was the popular wagon of that
time. Some of our first customers whom
early settlers will recall were McKinley-Gilchrist,
C. T. Reynolds & Co., Davis Bros., H. A. & H. U.
Bogardus, Mauran Wright & Co., and R. B. Boak & Co.
Of this old bunch only R. B. Boak & Co. and the
Willett Co. still survive.
To-day we operate three hundred teams and
motor trucks. A few of our customers are Steele-
Wedeles Co., Montgomery Ward & Co., International
Paper Co., The Tribune, James S. Kirk & Co., Procter
& Gamble Co.,^ W. F. McLaughlin & Co. and The
Daily News.
One reason for our success is the personal loyalty
we feel for our customers. Our customers are part of
our gang and in labor troubles we stick with them
to the finish.
The service of the Willett Company has never
failed to any customer for a single hour since 1868.

For Cars of Business and Pleasure
Maintained car efficiency is largely a matter of tires.
While the tire bill itself may not seem excessive, the
jolt and grind that improper tires transmit to the en-
gine, and the car itself, frequently means a car out of
commission — loss in time, money and service.
Motz Cushion Tires have solved the tire problem on
pleasure electrics and light delivery cars. They have all
the resiliency of properly inflated pneumatic tires, with
none of their "pneumatic" troubles.
This resiliency is due to the dual treads (A) and the
Motz undercut sides (B) and slantwise elastic bridges

MOTORING.
[By 0. G. Sinsabaugh, editor of Motor Age.1
Chicago still retains its honors in the line of
motoring promotions, for no other city in the
country was as active as was Chicago in
1914. Still Chicago did not come up to its usual
mark, there being fewer competitions than
usual. The Elgin road races, promoted by the
Chicago Automobile club, were more interesting
than ever before because of the brilliant field of
starters. The Kane county meet attracted fifty-
fight entries, the largest number ever brought
together in a road racing carnival in this coun-
try. Both races were won by DePalma.
The Chicago Automobile club also attempted to
stage its Chicago-Boston day and night relia-
bility and secured the Glidden trophy for the
piece de resistance. But it took so long to eet
the stock car rule through the A. A. A. that it
was found impossible to get enough entries to
warrant running on* this national reliability.
But Chicago maintained its reputation for pro-
moting interclub team matches and. as usual,
the Chicago Automobile club and the Chicago Ath-
letic association came together in two matches.
The summer match was a two day affair to
Peoria and return, the seventh annual clash be-
tween these two organizations. It was won by
the Chicago Automobile club, led by J. T. Brown,
the first victory for the C. A. C. in five years.
The fall match was a one day run to Brook.
Ind.. and return, which was won by the Cherry
Circle. This match brought out a record break-
ing entry, fifty-eight cars contesting.
The Chicago Motor club also had Its usual
Banta trophy team match between its amateur
and trade teams, and again the amateurs won.

THE INDISPENSABLE NEWSPAPER.
In 1815 American newspapers were a curiosity.
In 1855 they were a luxury.
In 1915 they are a necessity.
Thus into nineteen words may be condensed the history of
American newspapers. There is another way of putting it — just
as short:
In 1815 American newspapers were experimental.
In 1855 they were successful.
In 1915 they are indispensable.
There is a lot of difference between an experiment and a
success. Between a successful thing and an indispensable thing
there is a wider difference. Newspapers used to be successful
in spite of being — many of them — selfish. Great newspapers of
to-day are indispensable because they SERVE.
The Chicago Daily News sells between 375,000 and 400,000
papers daily. Ninety-two per cent of its readers are Chicago-
ans. It reaches daily, at the usual estimate of three readers to
each paper sold, from 1,000,000 to 1,200,000 persons.
The Daily News serves readers who wish to learn the latest
news at the earliest possible moment.
It serves tired folks who seek entertainment.
It serves the buyer who wants good merchandise at an
attractive price, and the merchant who wants many buyers.
It serves alike the man of large affairs and the man of
modest means; the mammoth department store with its "page
ad" or "double truck," and the woman who finds her lost dog or
rents a hallroom through a one or two line "want ad."
Because of its SERVICE The Daily News is INDIS-
PENSABLE.
