BALKAN WARS BRING A CRISIS These prodigious increaaes seemed still insufficient when the Balkan wars broke out. In the autumn of 1912 a new plan of land armament was taken into consideration, under the greatest secrecy. This plan was laid before the Chancellor in December, together with a report declaring that increases were necessary in the army on account of the attitude of the Triple Entente, which, though a defensive counterweight to the Triple Alliance, ehowed nevertheless, "strong offensive tend

encies, since it had political ends In view the pursuit of which was adjudged by the allied powers worthy of their maximum efforts." Despite these considerations, which were a shameless camouflage of the truth, the Chancellor and the entourage of the Emperor hesitated. The plan was not approved

until the first of the ensuing January; it was presented to the Reichstag in March, 1913. Huge Increase In German Army. The increase provided for was formidable indeed; the total number of troops rase from 700,000 to 866,000, and war material of every sort was likewise augmented. For the purpose of cerrying out this program, which was to be completed in great part by October, 1913, exceptional financial measures were provided for; to cover nonrenewable expenditures, which reached a total of 1,000,000,000 marks, provision was made for a single war tax. The bill for all the above was promptly passed on June 30, and the press did not conceal the joy felt by the government, "The security thus obtained." said the Cologne Gazette, "opens the way to us for a world-policy." And the goal to be pursued was clearly acknowledged thus: "The army can now pass with more- ease from a peace footing to a war footing." The Crown Prince and the Kaiser adopted a bellicose tone in their speeches and orders of the day, which was an echo of the inmost

thoughts of the German nation

was the attitude of peoples and governments in the lands of the Triple Entente which, according to the PanGerman leaders, were ready to take the offensive and hurl themselves upon Germany! France, England and Russia had no object In view except the maintenance of peace. , Naturally, in view of the gigantic nlana of Germany, France

and Eneland felt the necessity of es

service. But were not inese tiui ary measures of precaution, dictated solely by regard for national security, and quite easily understandable m the midst of the rumors of war emanating from all sides in Central Europe and the Balkans! Standing by the side of Germany In arms, Austria-Hungary also made immense war preparations ing beyond a doubt, received secret information from Bulgaria as to the intentions of the Balkan nations with re-ard to Turkey, she bided her time lor" realizing her ambitions with regard to an outlet on the Aegean Sea.

In order to refute such allegations it suffices to refer to the official pub

T?avmnnd Poincare. for preventing the

conflict, and, afterward, for localizing and ahatinz it. On the side of the

Trinle Alliance, however, quite differ

ent sentiments were manifested.

Austria, who seemed disappointed at

the rapid victories ol tne uaiitan Ames, narticularlv of Serbia, could not recon

cile herself to a partition of Turkey without her own participation; there

fore she speeded up her military pre

parations and concentrated troops on the Serbian frontier. At the same

time she sought to involve Italy, who

had lust obtained Tripoli trom Turkey

in her game. The Triple Alliance was renewed in advance on Dec. 5, and

Italy received promises assuring her of

preponderant power in the eastern Mediterranean. But Austrian designs on the Balkans and the defeat of the Turkish army despite its having been trained in the German school, had not failed to worry the German government, which, at the outset of 1913. had Its doubts as to being able to "win a rapid victory in case of a war against the Triple Entente. The measures provided for by the military laws under consderation were not to become fully effective until the following October; the widening of the

Kiel Canal to allow the passage of the

biggest naval units was not yet completed; and important submarine and

aviation , construction was still under way. Hence, it was Berlin which advised Vienna to wait; it was upon the

initiative of the German government that Emperor Francis Joseph of Aus

tria addressed to the czar a request

promptly agreed to that he order im

mediate demobilization, in the higher

interests of peace.

At London, ever since Dec. 13, the

ambassadors of the Powers had oeen

Sir Edward Grey, to come to an agree

ment. On May 30. 1913, preliminaries

of peace were signed; the Triple Alliance succeeded in securing the crea

tion of an autonomous Albanian state j on the shores of the Adriatic, under the government of a German prince. Re-established by the Treaty of London, the peace, however, was of short duration. On June 30 hostilities in the Balkans recommenced. Bulgaria picked a quarrel with her former allies, Serbia and Greece, concerning Macedonia. In this the responsibility of Austria was beyond doubt. Previous to opening the new campaign, Ferdinan of Bulgaria received from Vienna a promise of support. But now Rumania also declared against Bulgaria, and Turkey, backed by Germany, profited from the general confusion by retaking Adrianople. Ferdinand, finding himself surrounded, accepted the term3 of the Peace of Bucharest, signed on Aug. 10, 1913, During this second crisis the Entente Powers continued their active policy of mediation, but did not on all occasions find the desired co-operation from Germany and Austria. Moreover, Austria could not bring herself to allow the aggrandizement of Serbia, so she tried again, on the eve of the Treaty of Bucharest, to drag Italy into the Balkan war by invoking the "casus foederis." Italy, however, spurned the appeal. Austria Spiteful After Balkan War. Peace having been signed, Austria found herself with none of her ambitions realized, and it became clearly

EXPANSION IS URGED

IN RURAL SOCIOLOGY TEACHING IN SCHOOLS (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Deo. 28 An expansion in

the teaching of rural sociology in col

leges is, needed because of "the influence rural ideals have upon the urban and national Hf, declared Paul L. Vogt of , Philadelphia, speaking here today at the annual meeting of the American Sociological society. "Rural life today presents a field almost untouched so far as the possibilities of discovery of new truth is concerned," he statea. "The teacher who can eettle a problem in his own mind can hope to discover truths ii this field that will make a permanent contribution to human welfare. "In the study of sociology a student

will obtain greater ability to see the

factors m community organization, to note the tendencies of the forces oper

ating for the strength or weakness of

community life. It is an accepted educational principle that true growth in

knowledge proceeds from the known to the unknown. This being true we have a very important reason for the

study of rural sociology. "The students in many of our col

leges and universities come from rural communities. By uti:izing and analyz

ing nis own experiences he presents an opportunity for the teacher in rural

sociology, who can bring to him a realization of the complexities of the life

which he has been leading."

Entente continued upon its peaceful way. For the purpose of forestalling

possible trouble a3 a result of conflicting French and German interests in Asiatic Turkey, negotiations were started at Berlin which resulted in an agreement on Feb. 15. At London, England sought to settle some disputed points in Africa and Asia in. a sim

ilar manner, thereby bringing about an Anglo-German agreement on June 15. Finally, Russia continually showed her justified apprehension with regard to the maintenance of peace in the Balkans. But the warlike ambitions of William and his people were destined to thwart completely the enormous diplomatic labors of the Triple Entente, in the course of those three years, toward maintaining the peace of Europe. War had been decided upon! A pretext for beginning it was soon to be found! The Sarajevo murder was to be the spark that lighted the universal conflagration. (To Be Continued)
