XXXV THE FINAL PHASE OF GERMAN RESPONSIBILITY But all I have done so far Is to get a list of the political or diplomatic responsibilities of Germany. Let us now turn to her military responsibilities. Concerning them also I shall maice a summary and take tip events day by day. THIRD SUMMARY Military Responsibilities of Germany July 21, Preliminary notice of moclasses of reservists. (Yellow Book, billzation to a certain number of 15.) July 24 Secret announcement to Metz, covering instructions (Installing of machine guns at various railway stations). July 25 Mobilization of the garrison of Metz (signing of victualizing contracts by the authorities of Zabern); arjning of frontier posts. July 26 Recall of the German fleet In Norway. Yellow Book, 58.) July 26 Notice to four classes of reservists in Lorraine (Yellow Book 59.) July 26 Cutting down of trees, plac ing oi guns, strengthening of barbed wire entanglements, construction of battery emplacements. July 27 Recall of German officers in Switzerland. (Yellow Book, 60.) The above were only part of the preparations Instituted from July 21 onward , by Germany. Let us now turn to the mobilization measures: 1. July 28 Austria, whose army bad been taking part In grand manoeuvres during July, mobilized partially the twenty-eighth. She declares war on Serbia. 2. Russia counters by a partial mobilization on "the twenty-ninth, declaring that she is Impelled by no warlike motives, and she does not mobilize on the German frontier. 3. July 23 (evening) Germany, without a word to Austria, who had mobilized first, sends a peremptory demand to Russia, demanding that she demobilize, although Russia is not endangering her at all, and though, three days before, in view of the continued possibility of mobilization, Herr von Jagow said to M. Cambon that Russian mobilization, if directed solely against Austria, would not cause Intervention by Germany. 4. July 29 (evening) Council at Potsdam, at which war is decided upon. 5 July 29 The German government sends, through its representatives in Brussels, an ultimatum to Belgium, drawn up July 26, with orders not to open it except after special instructions (German Documents, Nos. 375 and 376). This was the ultimatum delivered to Belgium on August 2. 6. July 30 (see dispatch quoted above) Austrian general mobilization begins in the evening upon orders from Germany. 7. July 31, at 1:30 p. m. Germany decrees the existence of a state of danger of war, which is equivalent to general mobilization, since each reservist Is told what post he is to accupy. 8. On July 31, despite Russian general mobilization, the Austrian government instructs Its ambassador at St. Petersburg to continue negotiating with M. Sazonoff. and the Russian ambassador at Vienna discusses with the minister of foreign affairs. 9. August 1 France mobilizes. At 1:13 I countersigned the decree of mobilization, which was posted publicly at 4 o'clock. Thus, French mobilization came more than one day after the German declaration or the existence of the danger of war, which in the eyes of all honest men, is the same as actual mobilization in Germany. 10. August' 1 Declaration of war against Russia. , 11. August 3 Declaration"' of war against France, based on the pretext that aviators had flown over Nuremberg. On the same day the municipality of Nurembery protested against this false report, on which the declaration of war against France was based. These, then, is a summary which is seli-sufficing, and which, as may be noted, has been divided, so that it mav be easy to read, into sections arranged according to the date of the various happenings. Really, Germany's system in discussion is too easy. She begins by allying a policy of encirclement on the part or her rivals dating back 20 years She levels her principal accusations for this against England. Then, she no longer has any eyes except for the game of mobilization, at the end of July and beginning of August. 1914. Despite the fact that they have been proved but too often, we have made a point of drawing attention to these hasty and formidable mobilizations, aivl we have done so with the necessary proofs ready to hand, with German and Austrian documents as veil Every bit of responsibility falls upon Germany and Austria nor can a rontrary view be based upon imprudent statements, or the hasty action of some one general, or, garbled reports, or exchange of views between military attaches. But now even if the above were not already proved opon whom would th full responsibility fall? Who was it who forced urope, throughout 20 years, to arm herself lor defense, and who was it who took the initiative in armaments and SAVING LIVES Never wait for.f cold to wear off Neglected c o 1 d i lead to pneumo nia.

of the Kaiser

Increase of military forcest Why these actions if war was not -desired? -Who was it who wished to strike th blow in 1913 to say nothing of the aggressive acts of 1905, 1907. 1908? , Who was it who, In that month of July, 1914, when all might have been smoother over In spite of Germany's actions, decided. In cold blood and criminality, not to transmit to Austria any proposal for conciliation; who though aware that a European war would be unloosed, continued up to the last moment to incVease the probabilities of war and Incite passions, even by circulating false reportsIn short, who was it that created the situation in which Europe found herself as far back as July 29 1914? From that day a fever born of natural causes, an increasing wave of excitement, a mortal anxiety, reigned over Europe. By whose fault? "What could be thought, after Serbia had accepted the ultimatum, when aipiomatic relations were broken off. war declared, all good win excluded? For years the explosives had been prepared, each rear the nowder hnd been accumulated close to these ex plosives a fire had been lighted, and fuel had constantly been added to it. Then, those who lighted it, drew to one side and, when the explosion sowed terror to the remotest ends of the earth, he who had done the deed declared himself innocent! There, in a nutsneu, is Germany's attitude. lo resume There is no explana tion or the attempt of 1913, frustrated by Italy, nor for the plan of Invasion of the German general staff. What was to be expected, in 1914, from those who had hatched what had gone before? There i3 no explanation why the central Empires on July 13, 1014, when 'hey had official proof, provided by onevpf their own agents, of the in nocence of the Serbian government; continued on their way, unless it be assumed that they wished to bring on a war which they were aware would become general. There is no way to explain why, on July 26, the German emperor, having declared there was no longer any rea son for war, in view of the Serbian reply, decided, on that same day, not to support any of the requests from the entente, tending toward mediation, whereby he fed the flames smoul dering in Europe, Finally, there is no way to explain why, on July 29, the czar's suggestion that The Hague tribunal be invoked, received no reply until July 31. when Russia, threatened by Austrian mobilization and Germany's formidable preparations, decreed mobilization, though appealing at the same time for peace. The Serbian question was never riper and better adapted to equitable settlement than on the twenty-sixth; why then, was it not studied and settled, and why was delay caused until July 31 that is, until everything was upside down in Europe before the discussions were begun at Vienna? Nor can one forget that, on that day, after the question had been referred to negotiations despite all delays and misunderstandings, and war had thus been avoided, war was, nevertheless, desired, and unloosed upon Europe by mean3 of an outrageous combination of suppressions, machinations, falsifications and outrages. At that moment the war began not later. That is what the assembled nations realized, when, after hav ing studied the petition of the German delegates in 1919, and though they were gtill unacquainted with all the documents of the Austrian Red Book, the Bavarian Book, and particularly, of the White Book, they handed down their verdict to the effect that "Germany should be held responsible for the war." .(To be continuel.) FIVE HURT IN WRECK. MORGANTOWN, W. Va., Jan. 22 Two passengers and three members of the crew were injured last night at Martin, Pa., twnty miles north of here, when the Fairmount-Pittsburgh express train struck a rock which had been dislodged by heavy rains.

Drayton of Mitchel field, flew yesterday from Pine Valley field near Camden, N. J, to Mitchel field, 110 miles in 42 minutes. Officers at Mitchel field claim this to be a record service flight. The aviator was making a duty flight at an altitude of 4,000 feet when he found air currents favorable for a record-breaking ride.

EARLHAM COURSES AT NATIONAL PARK It has just been announced that the departments of geology and biology at Earlham college will offer field courses next summer at Yellowstone National park. The work will be under the direct supervision of Drs. Hole and Markle, heads of the two depart ments. The plans have not yet been fully completed, but detailed arrangements will be announced soon. These courses will be open to ad vanced students in the geology and botany departments, and in general will be the same as previously have been given by the college. However, the department of geology is the only one at Earlham that previously has offered work under the head of the department in the Rocky mountains, and it is especially pleasine to the college that the opportunity for work in this particularly interesting field is again to be open to students. Because of the distance from Rich mond there are Epecial difficulties in management to overcome and, hence, it has not been possible to offer these courses every year. The work will include field work, preparatory study before going into the field, and prepa ration of maps, specimens and reports after returning which will be equivalent to six weeks of work.

AMUSEMENTS

MURRETTE Strange offers have been made to motion picture actors as tie .result of certain roles they portrayed, but some of the strangest have been made to Lee Shnmway, who recently played the heroic part of Peter Coe in "Brawn of the North.", the latest Laurence Trimble-Jane Murfin production starring Strongheart for First National at the Murrette theatre. In one sequence S hum way was compelled to keep a pack of timber wolves from attacking a mother and three months old child on the snow covered wastes of a desolate mountain country. His sole weapon was an axe. Numbers of the natives, among them many who made their living on the bounties they received for the heads and hides of predatory wolves, gathered to watch the actor In action. The camera records of these scenes are, in themselves, evidence of the actual, danger that confronted Mr. Shumway. Manouvering adroitly and rushing in with lightning speed, each wolf, apparently acting on his own iniative but in reality under the thorough direction of Mr. Trimble, tried to get at Mr. Shumway to injure him. The northwoodsmen have an opinion of their own as to any man's mental qualifications who would try to ptand off a pack pf wolves with an axe. They travelled mile3 to see it done and having seen it, while In no way did they lose respect for the wolves, they did increase their respect for Mr. Shumway. As a result, Shumway has been offered numerous opportunities to take part in expeditions to go into the wildest parts of the wolf country to gather pelts for their bounties. Other offers from those who watched him work included participation in mining ventures, exploring trips and occupations characteristic of this wild country. MURRAY Cullen Landis, the clever young Goldwyn actor who gave such.promise in "Going Some" a Rex Beach story, and "It's a Great Life" a Mary Roberts Rinehart picture, has made good. With Cullen it has been, not alone the good looks with which nature endowed him, and his natural ability for acting, but what 13 more valuable personality! If Landis had had no will or ambition of his own to spur him on, his many friends would have done so by their very enthusiasm. He puts into his roles a charming boyishness that immediately win3 him the sympathy of the audience. Landis and William Beaudine, his new director, are great co-workers, rather pals, and with this understanding and friendship as a foundation, the Landis-Beaudine picture can be looked forward to with more than the ordinary interest. Beaudine was for three years a Christie Comedy director. He has hitherto made only three-reel comedies. As it has alwavs been a hope cf Beaudiae's to make the regular length pictures, the two have struck a happy compromise in "Watch Your Step" their first work together MOTHER!
