ONE YEAR OF THE WAR

Today. Monday, June 28, will be celebrated the first anniversary of the event that precipitated almost the entire of Europe Ino a bloody war. turning the fields of grain nnd harvest Into fields of carnage and murder; rivers of fresh, clear water into streams and torrents of blood, and causing the deepest of sorrow to cloud thousands Os homes and force hundreds of thousands of women and children to face starvation and ex|x>sure. On that eventful Sunday morning of June 28, 1914, occurred the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife, In the beautiful city of Serajevo, capital of the Austrian province of Bogpia by a subject of the Servian king, and which served as a brand to ignite the tinder-like conditions of all Europe. For some time previous to the assassination, the peace of Europe had been endangered by the progress of the Balkan wars, and the geographical adjustments which followed the close of these wars, instead of relieving the situation, brought forth new restrains under which the powers of Europe chafed. Owing to the fact that Austria-Hun-gary and Servia had never had cordial relations, it was but natural that Austria should accuse the Servian government with having aided and abetted in the assassination, and in this, was backed by Germany. On May 20, 1882, an agreement, termed the Triple Alliance, was entered into between Germany, AustroHungary and Italy. This agreement was to hold good for fi ve years and in 1887 was again renewed, in the renewal, however, the alliance provid 'd for defensive warfare only and specified the disposal of military forces in the event of an attack by Russia or France. At various times thereaft?'-, .this alliance had been renewed, the last renewal taking place in December, 1912. England, noting the effect that this triple alliance was hav'ag on the power of Europe, entered into an agreement, known as the Triple Entente, with Russia and France, the object of this agreement being to secure the balance of the power and io maintain peace in Europe. As the result of these agreements, the mobilization power of the Triple Alliance was about 12,380,200 men. and about 4,363,000 untrained men available for duty, while that of the Triple Entente amounted to approximately 11.503,128 trained men, excluding those of the possessions of England, and about 29,803,000 untrained men. Following diplomatic exchanges, Austria presented Servia with an ultimatum containing a number of <leHORSE SEASON—I9IS. Ebene, Belgian, No. 47014, Ameri can, No. 3486.

mauds, chief among which were that the Servian government punish the guilty parties; that it condemn the Serb propaganda against the monarchy and that it suppress all society's and teachings which tended to forment feeling against Austro-Hungary. To this ultimatum, the Servian government was given forty-eight hours to reply. Upon the presentation of this ultimatum the great powers of Europe entered into diplomatic exchanges in the Interest of peace, not only because they were allies of one of the countries, but, because of the unstable equilibrium, it affected more or less, their plans and desires. Not desiring Austria to become the dominant power in the Balkan states, Russia let it become known during the diplomatic exchanges that she would not allow Austria, unopposed, to crush Servia and would mobilize her troops on the day that Austrian troops crossed the frontier. Germany then stat >d her attitude as favoring the localizing of the dispute and issued a warning to the other countries that she would not tolerate interference with' Austria in her purpose of chastizing Servia. On July 25. Servia replied to the Austrian deman, but the reply proved to be unsatisfactory to the Austrian government and on the following day Sir Edward Grey, British foreign secretary, suggested that representatives of the powers meet in London to discuss means to avert complications. This suggestion was turned down by both Germany and Austria and was followed on Jyly 28th by a formal declaration of war on Servia by Austria and on that day occurred the first clash between the hostile troops when the Austrians crossed the Danube river at a point fifty miles north of Belgrade. Prior to this, rumors had spread of the secret mobilization ol the Russian army, but not until July 29th was this made public, when the czar sent a communication to the kaiser, informing him that an invasion ot Servia would Immediately be follow* 1 by Russian mobilization orders. In reply to this Germany drew up and signed a general mobilization order to be promulgated at the first official warlike movement in Russia. On July 30th. Germany served notice on the Russian government for. an explanation of the mobolization of the czar's troops to be returnable within twenty-four hours, and in reply was informed that Russia had gone too far to withdraw her orders. This put the next move up to the kaiser and on Au,gust 1 at the expiration of the time limit of the German demand, war was officially declared by Germany on Russia.

Scarcely had the train left Chicago when the Inimitable Ralph Bingham, founder of the I. L. A. and originator of Chautauqua Joy Night, busied himself on a program for the tour. Together with Lincoln Dickey, D. F. Thomas and Glenn Henry Thomas, he formed a quartet which rendered humorous original selections at intervals all the wav to Jacksonville. Every one started oft with a spirit of good humor and enthusiasm. " At 5 p. m. the train reached Thorntown, Ind., where a Redpath Chautauqua will be held late in August. Twenty-five autos were at the depot, and amid ths din of locomotive and

factory whistles the Chautauqua party, Including the band, was hurriedly carried to the center of the city, where a thousand people had gathered. Dr. Calothan extended hearty words of welcome and Dr. W. A. Colledge responded on behalf of the Chautauqua management The band played two selections amid the most rousing enthusiasm. A stop was made at Indianapolis for supper, and then the train hurried on to Cincinnati, after which It was announced that the next stop would be Knoxville, Tenn., for breakfast. An hour later found seventy people In one Pullman enjoying a stunt fest under the unparalleled leadership of Ralph Bingham as master of ceremonies. Forty-five minutes for breakfast at Knoxville and the entire party was again on Its way, this time to beautiful Asheville. N. C. The stay here, lasting six hours, was one of the particularly pleasant experiences of the entire journey. About twenty of the party visited Grove Park inn, 2,500

feet above sea level, one of the most beautiful hotels In America. While the Chautauquans were at luncheon F. L. Seeley, the proprietor, entered the dining room and soon recognized Ralph Bingham and Mr. Harrison. Ascertaining that the entire party was connected with the Chautauqua movement, Mr. Seeley notified Mr. Harrison that they were bls guests as long as they could stay. Mr. Seeley is a director of the Winona (Ind.) Assembly and a great Chautauqua enthusiast. He believes that if there is one thing that the south needs more than another it Is Chautauquas. After a ride through the mountains the party returned to this hotel and enjoyed Mr. Seeley’s hospitality again nt the dinner hour, and was shown over the entire plant. Wallace Bruce Amsbary and Mrs. Amsbary remained at the hotel over Sunday at the earnest request of Mr. Seeley, and on Sunday night Mr. Ams-

bary gave an hour's reading to 400 guests. Ou the following Sunday Dr. W. A. Colledge addressed the same audience on his return from Jacksonville. Souvenir silver spoons were present ed to all members of the party before noon. A visit was also pMd to Biltmore, the Vanderbilt estate. Leaving Asheville at 7:45 p. m., the next morning, bright and early, found the special train In Savannah, Ga„ and at noon the party reached its destination in the historic old city Os Jacksonville, Fla. The train pulled into the depot beautifully decorated with banners, pennants and flags as the band played.
