In a irnto accompanying it, the girl says that her appeal has the: approval of Antony K rafft Bonnard, of Geneva, wcre-tary-general of the FeIe-ratb.n f Swiss Committers of Friends of Armenians.

Many of the older people who were forced to leave the country and take refuge in Russia early in the war lacked the endurance necessary to survive the long exile in the east. No one will ever know how many lied in the return Journey. Some hint of the mortality, however, is obtained from the statement tbat tew of the villages have more than twenty-five- percent of their pro-war population.

The officials wanted the third man. Early Friday morning Mr. Cassidy visited the store where Good is employed as the head of the jewelry department, and without attracting the attention of others in the store took Good with him to the Oliver hotel. There Good told the assistant chief his story and also the identity of the third man, who was Kennett.

New Revelations of Origin of War Proves Austria's Guilt, Showing How She Deliberately Sought Fight

PER LIN, Nov. 1. At last the veil has been fully withdrawn from the events which led up to and caused the war. The origin of the greatest catastrophe which has ever befallen humanity now stands in brighter illumination than any other salient episode of recent history. Many admissions and revelations had already been published from German oflicial sources, but the key to the great crime was still lacking. It lay in Vienna, where those in power believed that continued silence would strengthen their hand at Versailles. Now, however, that peace with Austria has been signed, the secret archives of the Rail pa tz bearing on the summer of 1'J14 have been laid bare to the world. On behalf of the Austrian Foreign Oliice, the historian. Dr. Robert Goos has published, obviously without any reserve, all the oflicial documents which throw light on the outbreak of the war. The result is a condemnation of the Central Empires to which there can be no possibility of reply. It is proved with mathematical certainty that Austria deliberately sought war against Serbin with the object of destroying her, and with a clear realization that such a policy rendered a great European conllict practically inevitable. Further, it Is proved that in doing so she was supported and encouraged by Rerlin. Finally, it is proved that the Entente Statesmen, and especially Viscount Grey, did everything in their power to avert the calamity, but were systematically and persistently thwarted by the other side. Guilt Irrefutably Proved. All this has from the outset been the commonplace of the entente view of the causes of the war, but now it has been irrefutably demonstrated by the oflicial publications of the Central Empires, and this chapter of the great conflict may be considered closed. Needless to say. thee Vienna revelations have come as a great shock in Germany, where many people still clung to the hope that it would be possible to shift a large share of the blame on to the shoulders of the entente. In England the view was widely taken that the war was decided upon at a Crown Council held at Potsdam on July D, 1?14. Apparently this idea was the result of a misunderstanding or misapprehension. What actually took place at Potsdam on that day was that the Austrian Ambassador, Count Szoegenvl. lunched alone with the Kaiser, and handed to him an autograph letter from the Austrian Emperor. The ktter covered a memorandum drawn up by the Chief of the Austrian General Staff. Conrad von Hoetzendorf and presented by him to the Military Cabinet of Kaiser Franz Josef some days before the assassination of the Archduke Frnnz Ferdinand at Sarajevo. The memorandum urged a vigorous policy towards Serbia, with the object of finally settling the Ealkan question in a manner favorable to Austria. Austrian Diplomat's Reort. Iu hi rovfrinir letter.

Franz Josef urged upon the Kaiser that an attempt should be made to draw Rulgaria into a Triple Alliance as a substitute or countercheck for Roumania, in whom it was felt that full trust could no longer be reposed. The Kaiser replied agreeing in substance, but at the same time expressing strong misgivings as to the trustworthiness of Rulgaria. The letters of the two Kmperoi-s were published in Germany some time ago, and need not be further dealt with. What is now published for the lirst time, however, is Count Szoegenyi's report to Vienna on a tete-a-tete luncheon party at Potsdam; and this is much the more interesting document. In it the Austrian ambassador says: "The Kaiser read the documents submitted to him with the closest attention. First he assured me that he had expected serious action on our side towards Serbia, but he added that in consequences of the explanations of our most gracious master he must face the possibility of a serious European complication, and therefore would not give a definite answer before he had discussed the matter with the Chancellor, 'After lunch, when I once more emphasized the seriousness of the situation with the greatest stress, his Majesty empowered me to report to the Emperor that in this event, too, we could count on the full support of Germany. As already said, he must first have the opinion of the Chancellor, but he did not doubt in the slightest that Rethmann-Holl-wegx would .also absolutely agree with his opinion. In particular this held good with regard to an action on our part against Serbia. In bis (Kaiser Wilhelm's) opinion there must be no delay with this action. Russia's attitude would, moreover, be a hostile one, but he had been prepared for this for years, and even if it should come to war between! Austria-Hungary and Russia Wf could be assured that Germany would stand at our side with her accustomed fidelity as ally. Russia Not Ready For War. For the rest, Russia, as things stood today was by no means ready for war, and would certainly think twice before appealing to arms. She would, however. . agitate against us and fan the flames in the balkans. He' understood very, well that it would be difficult for the Emperor Franz Josef, in view of the l.f.ter's well-known love of pence, to march ' into Serbia. Hut if we had actually! realized the necessity of warlike action against Serbia he (Kaiser Wil helm) would regret It if we left un-j utilized the present moment which; was so favorable for us. ! "As far as Houmania was con-' cerncd. he would see to it that King' Carol and his advisers behaved with correctness. To enter into treaty relationship with Bulgaria was not at all sympathetic to him. Now, as hitherto, he had not the least confidence in Bulgaria. Nevertheless he would not rais the slightest objection to a contractual connection of the monarchy with Bulgaria. At the same time precaution mnt be taken

c!c I -. ;- ' usual number In the two stores, were powerless to handle the wants of all the visitors. Bystanders watched the scene with great interest all of the day. At times, particularly when the that the treaty should contain nothing directed against Roumania, and that it was actually brought to the cognizance of Roumania." Advises War cm Serbia. In another telegram to the Rallplatz the Austrian Ambassador reports on his subsequent conversation with Bethmann-Hollweg, and says: "In the further course of conversation I ascertained that the chancellor, like his Imperial master, regards immediate action (Einschreten) on our part against Serbia as the most radical and best solution of our difficulties in the Balkans. From an International point of view he regards the present moment as more favorable than a later one. He quite agrees that we should inform neither Italy nor Roumania of an eventual action against Serbia. On the other hand, Italy should at once be informed by Germany and by our government of the intention of bringing about the adhesion of Bulgaria to the" Triple Alliance." War was actually decided upon at the Council of Ministers held at Vienna on July 7, the secret minutes of which are. printed in M. Goos book. It was presided over by the Foreign Minister, Count Berchtold. who opened the proceedings with a speech in which he said that the council had been called to deliberate on the measures which should be employed to correct the innei political troubles that had arisen in Rosni aand Herzegovina in consequence of the catastrophe of Saraievo. To begin with, they must have a clear idea whether the moment had not come to render Serbia for ever innocuous by a display of force. Such a decisive stroke could not be delivered with diplomatic preparations. Consequently he had got into touch with the German government. The discussions in Rerlin had led to a very satisfactory result, "as both Kaiser Wilhelm and Herr Bethmann-Hollweg had assured him of the unconditional support with Serbia. They had still to reckon with Italy and Roumania. and here, in agreement with the Berlin Cabinet, he was of opinion that it would be best to act and to await any claims to compensation that might be put forward. It was quite clear to him that a passage at arms with Serbia might have war with Russia as its consequence. But Russia was at .resent pursuing a policy which aimed at uniting the Balkan States v.ith the object of playing them off against the monarchy when the moment seemed favorable. He was of the view that their situation must determine in consequence of such a policy. The logical conclusion was that we must anticipate our opponents, and by a prompt settlement with Serbia. Tisa Urgent Moderation. Tho Hungarian minister-president. Count TLza, whose reputation is to some extent rehabilitated by these disclosures was th? only member of the council to urce caution and moderation. He said he would never agree to a surpris attack on Serbia without prelimrary diplomatic action, such seemed to be

He insisted that demands mus be presented to Serbia, and recourse had to an ultimatum only in case they were not fulfilled. These demands must be harsh, but not of such a character that it would be impossible for Serbia to accept them. It was not Germany's business to decide whether Austria should take action against Serbia at that moment. Personally he was of opinion that there was no absolute necessity for the adhesion of Bulgaria to the tripile alliance. The most promising possibilities of successful diplomatic action In the Balkans had been opened out. To this Count Berchtold remarked that, whereas diplomatic successes against Serbia might temporarily raise the prestige of the monarchy, a permanent improvement of the situation was only to be secured by energetic action. The Premier's View. The Austrian Premier, Count Stucrgk, said that, while it was not the businef-s of the German government to decide whether it was necessary or not it should have great weight in their decision that in the quarter which they must regard as the most trustworthy support of their policy in the Triple Alliance, the unreserved fidelity of the ally had been promised, and moreover, after inquiries had been made immediate action had been advised. Count Tisza should consider and realize the significance of the circumstances that, by a policy of hesitation and weakness, they ran the risk of no longer being sure of unreserved support of the German empire at i, later period. He also shared the opinion of the chairman that the ituation could be in no way Improved by diplomatic success. If, therefore, for international reasons, the method of preliminary diplomatic action should be chosen, it must be with the iirm intention that this action was to end in war. Herr IJclinski. the Joint Finance Minister, stid h had never doubted that in the event of war Germany would stand by them. As long ago as November, 101 L' . they had received most binding assurances to this effee-. from Herr Tachirsky (German ambassador at Vienna). If the Hungarian Minister Presidentthe Hungarian minister-president were to satisfy himself with a diplomatic success he would not be considering Bosnian interests. The Serb was only emenable to violence. A diplomatic sum s would make no impression in Bosnia. Austria's Ell Intentions. The War Minister (Gen. Krobatin) took the view that a diplomatic success would be vftluelfei Frorj the

J military standpoint he must rm

I phasize, that it would be b tter to j have war at once than at a later period. With respect to the mode of the commencement of war he must lay stress on the fact that the two biggest wars of recent years the Busso-Ja pana.se, as well as that in the Balkans had both been begun without previous declaration of war. He was of the opinion that in advance only the mobilization contemplated against Serbia should be carried and that the general mobilization should be deferred till it was plain whether or not Russia was arming. Following a discussion as to the aims of warlike action, and the view of Count Tisza that Serbia should be reduced in si?e. but. not out of consideration for Russia, not entirely destroyed, was adopted. Count Stuergk strongly recommended that the dynasty ghen to another European Prince, as also that in military respects diminished should bo rendered in some way dependent on the Dual Monarchy. Count Tisza real'irmcd his" view that the inclusion of Bulgaria in the Trlph? Alliance opened out the prospects for n successful Balkan policy, ami he pointed to the terrible calamities which a European war would involve under existing condition. He drew attention to nil sorts cf future eventualities, such as the distraction of Russia by Asiatic complications and a war of revenge by a strengthened Rulgaria acainst Serbia, which inlht greatly improve their position in respect to the "Great Serbia" question. Count Berchtold rejoined that while it was possible to imagine various possibilities of the future, he feared that time was not available for such developments. They must re' kon with the fact that a decisive battle against the Dual Monarchy was bring prepared for by their entmie.s. and that Roumania was helping Russian and French diplomacy. They must not assume that their policy towards Bulgaria would furnish them with full compensation for the loss of Roumania. Nor should they overlook the fact that the tirst step for the inclusion of Bulgaria in the Triple Alliance had yet to be taken. War Decided On. The substance of the further debat'1 is summed up in the minutes as follows: "1. That th? Council of Ministers view of the Hungarian Ministerwould be prepared to adhere to the President, according to which mobilization should not only take place after concrete i'mands have been made to Serbia and refused by her, and an ultimatum has been presented. "On the other hand, all present, with the exception of the Hungarian Minister-President, are of opinion that diplomatic success, even it should end with a startling humiliation of Serbia, would be valueless, and that therefore such far-reaching demands must be made of Serbia that a rejection of them be looked for in order that the way may be opened for a radical solution by means of military intervention. After Count Tisza had again urged his standpoint and threatened to resign unless it was adopted, the Council was suspended till the afternoon. When it resumed the Chief of the Genorod Staff. Conrad von Hoetzendorff, who had apparently been absent from the morning sitting, was in attendance. lie was asked to answer three questions: 1. Whether it was possible to mobilize at first against Serbia alone, and only afterwards, when the necessity had arisen, also against Russia. 2. Whether large masses of troops could be retained in Transylvania to intimidate Roumania. 3. Where the struggle with Russia would be taken up. The replies, which are not given in the minutes, inaugurated a long debate ;is to the balance of strength and the probable course of a European war . At the close of this debate. Count Tisza again earnestly appeabd to his colleagues to consider most carefully the probable consequences of their decision. The demands to be made to Serbia were : then discussed, hut no d'-finite res oltition was adopted on this point i Count Berchtold announced his in j tentlon to go in Ischl on the followi ing day.
