THE CAUSE FOR THE WAR OF
NATIONS.
Only a minority of the Servian
race live in Servia and the Macedon
ian territory recently won from the
Turks. Montenegro is inhabited by
people ethnically and linguistically
the same; so are Bosnia and Herze
govina; so is much of the hinterland
of Dalmatia and large districts in
Hungary. In other words, a hundred
years ago part of the Servian race
was, subject to Turkey and part to
the Hapsburg monarchy. The part
under Turkish domination has won
its freedom; the other has not.
Bosnia and the Herzegovina rose
against Turkey in 1876 as did Servia
proper. Alter the congress ot Berlin
had settled the Balkan question in
1878 these two countries, so far from
receiving their freedom, were hand
ed over to Austria, though remaining
under nominal Turkish suzerainty.
They promptly revolted, and were
subdued only after four years of
guerrilla warfare. Ever since then
there has been much bitter feeling
and a strong army of occupation has
been maintained.
Austria spent large sums on pub
lic improvements, and felt that she
had a property interest in the terri
tory. When, therefore, the Turkish
constitutional revolution in 1908 led
to a call for representatives to come
to a parliament from all parts of the
empire, including Bosnia and the
Herzegovina, Austria had a good ex
cuse for announcing the annexation
of these countries. Servia protested
violently, and was backed by Russia,
but Germany’s support of Austria led
to the withdrawal of the opposition of
the Slav powers and the annexation
was completed.
This inflamed the feeling of the
Servians, which, the promise of an
\
autonomous diet for the two provinces
did nothing to allay. Austria’s am
bitions still looked toward the ulti
mate acquisition of Salonika, and
Servian and Turkish territory lay
squarely in the way. The first Bal
kan war made the situation more
acute, for Servian troops easily con
quered Western Macedonia and forced
their way through Albania to the Ad
riatic by a series of brilliant winter
campaigns.
Then Austrian diplomacy won an
other victory. In the conferences of
the powers which followed the war
Montenegro was deprived of.Scutari,
and Servia was compelled to with
draw her troops from Albania. There
was a vague promise that the coun
try should be allowed commercial ac
cess to the Adriatic through an un
fortified port, but it went no further
than words. Austria seeing her path
way to the Aegean closed for the
time, was in no mood to allow the
Servian race, which consciously or
unconsciously has been- striving for
union for the last century, to gain
a foothold on the other sea.
The second Balkan war, in which
Servia, Greece, Turkey, and Ruman
ia defeated Bulgaria, has been un
usually ascribed to the machinations
of Austrian diplomats, who are said
to have worked upon Ferdinand of
Bulgaria to attack the Servians. The
Servian victories in the war were
largely neutralized by the fact that
Austria seized the occasion to occupy
the Sanjak of Novi Bazar, a strip of
territory between Montenegro and
Servia which belonged to Turkey un
til the war of 1912, thus thrusting her
self in between the Servians and their
Montenegrin kinsmen. And so anoth
er blow was dealt to the unification
of the Serbs, which, if ever carried
through, would cut off the entire
southwestern corner of the Hapsburg
empire.
Since then a strong army has been
at all times maintained by Austria
within striking distance of the Ser
vian frontier. The troubles became
more acute last winter when a stu
dents’ strike in Bosnia brought all
the latent hatred to a head, and start
ed the train of events which led to
the assassination of the Archduke
Francis Ferdinand and his wife.
As soon as Greece bought a couple
of American battleships, the Turks
quit massacreing Greeks in Asia Mi
nor. Trust the Turk to have respeft
for a battleship.

The Hindu Invasion.
The struggle of a ship load of Hin
dus to get into Canada, and of Can
ada to keep them out, is a microcosm
of the migrations of history. Asiatic
hordes want to swarm into America
now, as they swarmed into Europe a
dozen centuries ago. Then the com
ing was resisted with arms, now with
laws.
The result is a strain on the sol
idarity of imperial sentiment that
may yet reduce India to its real status
of an exploited property.
The Indian movement over seas to
other and happier British lands is the
plain offspring of the Anglo-Indian
fiction of British citizenship. It is
no wonder the Hindus ask why they
cannot live happier and more free
with their fellow-citizens in Canada
than in Hindustan.—Minneapolis Jour
nal.
Indians As Mexican Voters.
It is impossible to believe that a
man of Mr. Wilson’s learning is ig
norant of the fact that the great bulk
of the population of Mexico lacks the
experience and intelligence of our own
Southern negroes, yet we hear no de
mand from the present administra
tion that in at leaft three American
states, where the negroes are in the
majority and by law enjoy every
right to control, a “free and fair elec
tion” shall be held that would, de
liver every office high and low into
the hands of the blacks.—Mexican
Herald.
Scotch Preacher In New York.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—The Rev.
Joseph W. Kemp, of Edinburgh, will
tomorrow open a Bible conference in
this city, which will be continued for
one week. Mr. Kemp is one of the
most prominent of the younger church
leaders in Great Britain. Under his
ministry Charlotte Chapel, Edin
burgh, has acquired the largest Bap
tist membership in Scotland, and is
known today throughout Great Brit
ain as a centre of live Christian activ
