By United Hews "The student of political affairs will find a striking similarity between the bitter hates, the secret diplomacy, the political wrangles and the bloody incidents of Europe's situation on this July 4 and that of July 4, 191*. Nine years—five of war, four of peace—have left conditions practically unchanged, with principal characters in plot newly aligned. Today a split between England and France seems imminent. The political alignments of nations are crumbling. Old treaties are “scraps of paper.” New unions are in the offing. Think back nine years. On that July Archduke Francis had just been murdered. The Balkan pot was boiling, Austria was about to declare war, Germany watched Austria. Engand France watched Germany. Behind them rose the spectre of the Russian bear, Czar Nicholas giving secret orders to his huge army to prepare to defend Serbia. Tuesday United News dispatches
