HOW THE GREAT WAR STARTED.!
Assassination of Archduke of
Austria Primary Cause.
The assassin of Archduke Franz
Ferdinand of Austria and his wife
fired a shot heard round the world.
His deed, the culmination of antiAustrian
plots for which Servia has
been a constant hotbed and itself
involving so many accessories before i
and after the fact as to bear a rep- j
resentative national character, natu-!
rally aroused the utmost indignation 1
in Austria-Hungary. The latter
country felt that Servian intrigue,
on the plan of the anarchist secret
society and extending into the high- j
est circles of rulers who themselves
held power by assassination, naa Decome
intolerable. Austria deter-1
mined to abate the nuisance next
door at any hazard. She must have
known well that the hazard was
great. Servia had the biggest broth- j
er.from a military standpoint, in the
world. But, just as even a small boy
cannot be permitted unlimited misconduct
through consideration for;
his smallness, so the small boy with
the biggest brother cannot always be
granted immunity because of his protector.
Austria went summarily
ahead. No doubt, she did not give
prudential motives enough thought.1
She was hazarding her ally, whom \
she apparently took by surprise or
ran away with, more than herself.
That ally.however privately perturbed
by her course, was loyal. Germany
told other nations that she
could not take any action which
would amount to coercion of Austria.
She would earnestly second
counsels for moderation and pacification,
but she could join no diplomatic
alignment that would place
her on the opposite side from her
ally. It looked as though Austria
* - * it. _ 5? n
were headstrong unaer me mnuenue
of her acute grievances and as though
Servia were presuming upon Russia's
support no less than Austria
was presuming upon Germany's.
But the time has come when we
can say that neither Austria nor
Servia, nor the two of them, made
the great war now under way. Europe
has adjusted difficulties quite
as serious many a time before, and
the diplomatic resources of the next
friends of these belligerents were
fully adequate to the task. There
was due to be a little blood-letting
on the Austro-Servian border and
nothing more. Russia made the big
war. She began taking no ordinary
precautions but acting as thougn
war had become or were about to
become an accomplished fact. Her
diplomacy showed itself utterly indifferent.
In vain the German Emperor
moved the heavens and earth
in efforts for peace, finally sending
the Czar's brother-in-law on the
heels of personal telegrams to St Petersburg
after Russia's diplomatic
representatives had turned only deaf
ears. The fact was, the Czar and his
advisers had seen a welcome opportunity
for a war wherein they had
much to gain and?since they would
not rate the lives of their soldiers
high?comparatively little to lose.
This, they evidently believed, was a
most favorable juncture for the war
whose waging century-long national
ambition had dictated. It was especially
attractive under its particular
circumstances as a means of ex
ploiting Russian national and Slavic
racial feeling in the interest of the
Czar and his Government. So Russia
forced hostilities,dragging in France
as her ally and inviting England to
jump on Germany when the latter
should be more than fully engaged.
The Servian assassin started the
whole train of circumstances leading
to the great war, but this was possible
in the last resort only because
Russia willed it so.?Charlotte Ob.

CANDIDATE FOR LYNCHING.
Florence Negro Accased oi Criminal
Assault on White Woman.
Tom Grice, a negro, was arrested
Friday night by the Police Department
charged with assault upon the
person of a white woman living on
the outskirts of the city. As a
measure of precaution Chief H M
Brunson sent the negro to the penitentiary
this morning for safe keeping.
Griee confessed to having entered
the house. He maintains that
he intended robbery only and that
he is innocent of any other crime.
The woman claims that the negro
made a criminal assault upon her
and accomplished his purpose.
She nas identified Grice as being
the right man.
It seems that at one o'clock Monday
morning, the woman awoke to
find the negro in her room, accord1

After his attack upon her she ran 1
screaming to the back of the house
and called a boarder who was sleeping
in the house. In the meantime
Grice had made his escape. The
woman's husband was not in the
city, having gone away on a business
trip the night before. Two
little children were asleep in the
same room with the woman. The I
police station was notified at once
and Sergeant J E Brunson respond-:

WHY WEAK LUNGS?
The toll of tuberculosis is claiming
more than 350 victims every day in the
United States, yet few realize their grave
condition until the critical period arrives.
Overwork, worry, weakness after sickness,
catarrh, bronchitis, tender throats?
all exert the weakening influence that
invites consumption.
To guard against consumption, thousands
of people take Scott'sEmulsionafter
meals because its rich medicinal nourishment
strengthens the lungs, puts vigor in
the blood, and upbuilds strength to resist
tuberculosis. Scott's Emulsion is nature's
strength-builder. Refuse substitutes.

of the case he called the Chief
of Police, H M Brunson, who at

The woman is said to be in a highly
nervous condition after her fearful
experience. Grice escaped from

dodging them. He is said to be an
old offender.?Florence 'limes, Au.
