The CORRESPONDENT telegraphed a special message last evening
to the effect that the newspapers outside are filled with war news,
and this speaks very eloquently of the conditions
WAR VEITS that are prevailing in different parts of Europe.
When the newspapers are filled with such news from
abroad, it means that all the trans-Atlantic press agencies see
great danger ahead. It is not the fake news of local war corres
pondents.
The cause of the trouble between Austria and Servia is
of a political kind. The murder was committed for political rea
sons. The archduke and his wife were murdered by two men who
swore that they would take some ot the lives of the Austrian rojal
familv because they blamed Austria tor suppressing Ser\ia and
wrenching from her the fruits of her victory over Turkey.
A remarkable thing connected with the murder is that when the
shots were tired at the royal pair the general wno was on guaru
with them at the time did not know that the bullets had touched
them. He saw them lean together in the carriage and speak to
each other in a low tone. On traveling some distance he saw blood
in the mouth of the archduke. Both were dead.
The taking of these two lives may mean the taking of hundreds
of thousands of others. This is the strange logic of royal politics.
What a battle royal would surely be between Russia and France
on one side and Germany and Austria on the other. The Austrians
could put without much trouble one million men on the Russian
border and Russia could meet her with a number equally great. The
great hosts of France and Germany would meet once more after a
mobilization that would occupy only a few days, foi constantly the
two governments have been preparing for the time when they must
rush at each other’s throats at a moment’s notice.
And all this because two human beings were shot by a crazed
lover of his little Servia.
