1 Why The War Began ]

Atlanta Journal |
Wt- -an- -a*
Austria-Hungary has two hundre
and forty thousand square miles o
territory, fifty million inhabitant!
and a war strength of three millio
men. Servla has only thirty-thre
thousand square miles of territory
four and a half million inhabitant!
and a war strength of perhaps fou
hundred thousand men. The Dui
Monarchy's savage attack on th
little kingdom has heen truly likene
to a battleship turning its gnu
against a motor launch. Austri
could have enforced any reasonabl
or honorable demand without resoi
ki arms. in iaci. aervia yieiueu i
every demand of its mighty neigh hoi
except those which involved a sui
render of its national existence. Am
tria precipitated the war wlthon
justification or excuse.
The tirehrand thus wantonly flun
abroad has set all Europe aflann
Nations in no wise concerned wit
the original issue have been draw
to battle. Germany seized th
sword to support Austria's stratf
gems. Russia sprang to the defens
of its Slav kinsmen in Servia. Th
Triple Alliance and the Triple Eti
tente met in the long dreaded clasl
The Alliance is nominally compose
of Austria, Germany and Italy: bu
Italy has resolved to be neutral, an
wisely so. The Entente is made u
of Russia, France and Englam
None of those nations took an at:
gressive attitude. Indeed, Englan
exliatisted every means, lir<t to brin
about mediation, and later to kee
clear of the conflict. lint Germain
whether as a matter of conseienci
policy or ambition, pressed the issu
inexorably forward. German
threatened Russia, invaded Franc?
and finally by disregard of itelgium'
neutrality, forced Great Rritain t
decisive action.
Thus Austria's arrogant course ha
brought on the niosr ominous wa
that ever shook civilization. Wha
was the great monarch's motive i
assailing its little neighbor? It
pretext was the assassination of th
Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir t
the imperial throne. The Austria
government believed, or pretended t
believe, that this crime was the oul
come of a conspiracy, devised an
supported by Servian authorities. 1
rejected all offers of honorable r?
quital, and insisted upon terms whir
in effect, would have reduced Servi
to a virtual satrapy. It seems ev
deut, indeed, that no matter win
concessions Servia might have mad<

wanted war, and nothing but w?
would sulllce its purpose.
Prof. Albert Buahncll Hart, <
Harvard University, a historian <
rare distinction, who has made
first-hand study of conditions i
eastern Kurope, says in an artie
fo- The New York Times:
"The crime of Servia, in the eyt
of Austria, is not assassination hi
success. Of all the oxasperatin
things that happened to Austria i
the course of the Balkan wars, tl
most exasperating was the appea
e.nce of a strong and ictoriops So
via. The \u trian armv of over on
hundred thousand men, mass d o
the frontier of Bosnia during a
those months, looked aero- tin- bo
der itli fury as they sou the So
vians and Montenegrins taking tli
Sanjak of Novi-Pazar ami thus cti
ting oil' their road to rralonika. hea
mg the Turks, capturing the inipoi
tant towns of Monnstlr and i'shul
or helping in the seige of Adris
nople. From every point of vie
this was hateful to Austria. It meat
that the door on the south (the roa
that Austria has long dreamed c
making her own to the seat was sht
tight and guarded by an able bttl
dog."
Furthermore, it meant the begii
ning of a Slav power in the Balkan
at Austria's very border, the begii
ning of vast designs by the Slav p"<
pie, of whom Russia is the head an
champion. Racial as well as politics
antagnoisms wore thus brought t
sharp issue The ever-smottlderiii

itself, there are sotne twenty-fo
million Slavs, almost half the et
pire's population
In the light of these circumstance
Austria's unbending attitude town
Servia becomes intelligible. T
growth of Servia would spell t
growth of Slavic power, the advam
roent of Hussia's ambition to for
southward and win a port on t
Aegean, the progress of those p?
pies with whom the Teutons ha
long felt they must some day m:.t
swords. The path of the Teuton a
the path of the Slav are oppost
Austria's ambition and Russia's a
bition both point to territorial pris
in southeastern Europe. Her
Austria s stroke against Hervia w
aimed at Russia as well, and the
Han< e of Austria and Germany is
herently an alliance of Teut
against Slav.
Here, then, lie the deeper roots
the war that is to yield so ghastlj
harvest. There are other facto
many of them, behind the far-reai
lug struggle. The pressure for G
man expansion, the rivalry betwe
Germany and England, the schenr
of reactionary parties to check pr
tical reforms at home?these a
other things must be consider
But the underlying motive of Ai
trla, who first lit the fires of war,
jealousy and fear of the Slav.

jt It is a remarkable fact that every
