The wh<4e world is in the grip of that |m\v ec ami is trying out the great battle Which shall determine wlietl: r it is to l*e lirougfi* under its mastery or tling Itself free. The war was l.egttn by the military masters of tienuany. who proved to h. al»o the masters of Austria-Hungary. These men have never regarded na tions as people*. men. women, ami children of like blood ami frame as themselves. for whom governments e\ Isted and In whom governments had their life. They have regarded Ihetn merely as serviceable organizations which they could by force or intrigue (•end or corrupt to their own purpose. They have regarded the smaller states, in particular, and the peoples wno could be overwhelmed l>y force, as their natural tools and instruments of domination. Their purpose has long been avowed. The demands made hy Austria upon Serbia were a mere single step in a , plan which compassed Kurope and Asia, from Berlin to Bagdad. They hoped those demands might not arouse Europe, but they mount to press them whether they did or not, for they thought themselves ready for the final issue of arms. Vast Empire Planned. Their plan was to throw a broad belt of (iernian military power and political control across the very center of Eu rope and beyond tin- Mediterranean in to tile heart of Asia : and Austria-Hun gary was tn he as much their tool and pawn as Serbia hr Bulgaria or Turkey or the ponderous states of the East, j The dream had its heart at Berlin. It j could have had a heart nowhere else! j It rejecti*i 1 the Idea of solidarity of race entirely. The choice of peoples played no ptirt in it at all. They ar dentl> desired to direct their own af fairs would he satisfied only by umlis tinted independence. They could he kept quiet only by the presence or the constant throat of armed men. The Herman military statesmen had reck otied with all that and were ready to deal with it in their own way. And they have actually carried the greater part of that amazing plan into execution! Look how things stand. Austria is at their mercy. It has acted. f'."t upon its own initiative or upon the choice of its own people, but at Ber- i Jin’s dictation ever since the war be gan. Its people now desire peace, hut cannot have it until leave is grunted I from Berlin. The so-called central Iuiwers are in fact but a single power. ' Serbia i< at its mercy, should its bands lie tint for a moment freed. From j Hamburg to the Persian gulf the net is spread. Why Berlin Seeks Peace. 1' ii nut easy to understand the eng orne-s for jieuee that has been mani fe'ieil from Berlin ever since the snare was set and sprung? Peace, peace. .. has been the talk of her foreign office- for now a year and more: not p.;" upon Iht own initiative, but up j on tlie initiative of the nations over ! which she now deems herself to hold the advantage. Through all sorts of channels it has come to me. and in till sort' of gnisi s. but never with the ( terms disclosed which tile German gov- [ eminent would he \ illing to accept. 1 That government still holds a valuable ; part of France, though with slowly re- i laxing grasp, and practically the whole of Belgium. It cannot go further: it dare not go back. It wishes to close its bargain before it is too late and it has little left to offer for the pound of flesh it will demand. The military masters under whom Germany N (deeding see very dearly ! to what point Fate has brought them. If they fall hack or are forced back an Inch, their power both abroad and at home will fall to pieces like a house of cards. If they can se cure peace nov, with the immense ad vantages f fiermanv is to deceive all those wlm thronghoir the world stand for the rights ,,f peoples and the self government of nations; for they see what immense strength the forces of justice and of liberalism are gathering i out of ihis war.

SECOND SON SUCCEEDS H,M Liberty Loan of Two Billions Over subscribed by People of United States—Hope for Russia Re vives—President Wilson’s Great Flag Day Address. Ey EDWARD W. PICKARD. Another ruler was pushed off his throne last week, and another nation probably added to those in active con flict with tin* central powers. This ! time it is Constantine 1. king of the j Hellenes, who has lost his crown. Af- t ter diplomatic intriguing and open quarrels that had been going on ever since the war started, lie was forced by tile allies to abdicate, and his eld est son. the crown prince, was barred from tlie succession because of liis pro German proclivities. Constantine, however, was allowed to preserve his dynasty, at least for the present, by nominating his second son. Alexander, as his successor. The abdication of the king was brought about by Senator Jonnart of France, who went to Greece empow ered by the allies to settle finally the position of that country In the war. He informed Premier Zaitnis that troops were at his disposal to carry out hi* decisions, but appealed to tin* premier to use his influence toward a peaceful arrangement. After consult ing the crown council, the king deeid ed to quit, and bis abdication was an nounced on Tuesday morning. Both Constantine and the former crown prince have left Greece already. may mean much to Allies. If Greece now decides to participate , actively In the war. stie can throw into the field an army of 500,000 men. well trained lint not sufficiently equipped. Venizelos, the former premier and consistent opponent of Constantine’s war policy, has back of him 100,000 men. and though the army in general was loyal to the ex-king, it is predicted the entire lighting force of the nation will now take up arms against the Teutonic powers and Turkey. This might tiring about a decided change in tin- Balkan situation. With the Greeks acting with the allies from the south and the reorganized Roumanian army and possibly the Russians striking front the north, the line of communi cations between Germany and Turkey might well he cut and the Turks forced to sue for peace. Alexander, the new king of Greece, who is twenty-four years old, took the j oath on Wednesday. It is reasonable ; to suppose he will act in accord with the allies, for he has kept free from all pro-Gorman activities and seems to lie acceptable to M. Jonnart. In fact, he cannot do much otherwise, for the en tente forcos promptly seized control of all of Greece. Professedly, their aim is the restoration of the constitu tional government of that country. It was stated semiofficially in Washington that the Failed States had not taken any part in the deposing of Oonstan- i tine and had not been consulted by the entente powers. This emphasizes the fact that we tire allies of those powers j in war. hut not necessarily in diplo- I inacy. The purpose of tin* allies was not ac complished entirely without bloodshed. A Greek colonel at I.arissa tired on French cavalry, killing two officers and four privates. In the brief tight that ensued GO. Greek soldiers were killed and Titl. including 51 officers, were taken prisoner. Liberty Loan a Great Success. America's reply to the sneering as sertions of Germany that tin* war is Wilson's war and is not supported by the people of the Fnited Slates came with a loud sound when the hooks on the Liberty Loan were closed Friday noon. It was announced that the loan of $2,000,000,000 had been handsomely over-subscribed, and the significant fact is that it has been taken up main I.v by tin* individual men. women and children of the nation, not by the great financial institutions. This not only is most desirable from an econo mic point of view, but is conclusive evidence that the entire nation is back ing the government in the conflict against despotism. It was only ueces sary that the people should be awak ened to the real situation, and this was done with energy and efficiency by the press and by innumerable speakers throughout the land. Renewed Hope for Russia. Hope and despair concerning Russia alternately take possession of the al lies. Just now it is the turn of hope, and there is a real prospect that the new republic not only can be prevented from making separate peace with the Ti utons, but may even be restored as a potent military factor. Minister of War Kerensky is succeeding to some extent in re-establishing discipline in the army, and an incident on the Rou manian front, when three mutinous regiments were forced to uncondition al surrender by a large number of loyal troops showed that most of the soldiers arc disposed t" buck up the provision al government. The All-Russian coun cil of peasants, furthermore, passed hy a vote of l.ooo to 4 a resolution to cut off food supplies from Kronstadt if the town did not immediately join its rev olutionary forces to those of Russian democracy, ami demanding that the j government tit once force the absolute J submission of Kronstadt. President Wilson's note to Russia, defining America’s war aims, was re ceived with much satisfaction every where except by the radical Russian socialists and in Germany, and was promptly followed by one from Great Britain which virtually stated that Mr. Wilson had spoken for his entente al lies. Of course the interpretation of the phrase "peace without annexa tions" is still a stumbling block, for Great Britain, France and Italy take the position that the restoration of “stolen" lands, such as Alsace-Lor raine. Italia Irredenta and other re gions. must not be considered as annex ations. The Root commission, which had a triumphant trip across Siberia, is counted on to do a great deal toward bringing Russia to the scratch again, and at this writing it really looks as though she will not yield to the blan ntsimieuts nt the kaiser nnct Ins social ist and pacifist emissaries. The great change in Greece also is looked upon as likely to influence Russia because of the effect it is sure to have on the Balkan situation. Tin* very weakness of the Russian provisional government has caused the German conservatists to abandon hope of persuading Russia to a separate peace, fur as Herr Heydehrand. their leader, says, such a course would be futile unless the government were strong enough to combat the sillies Russia would lie forsaking. Mr. Root and his colleagues and also the American railway engineering coni- , mission readied Petrograd on Wednes day. On the same day the Russian j mission to the United States landed at a Pacific coast port and started for Washington. It is headed by Boris A. Bakhmetieif as special ambassador. General Pershing in France. General Pershing and his staff, after several days of work and entertain ment in l.ondon. crossed over into France and were enthusiastically re ceived in botli Boulogne and Paris. Tile whereabouts of his expeditionary force—called by the German press an American army bluff- -had not been an nounced at the time of writing. There were two significant develop- I ments on the bstttlo fronts of Europe. Tiu- Italians, resting for the present from their advance on Trieste, made a vigorous attack on the Austrians in the Trentino, gaining some important posts and again threatening Trent. On the Belgian front near the seacoast there was great activity by the artil lery, seeming to indicate the intention of the sillies to try for a pash in that region toward Ostend and Zeebrugge. The British made secure their gains of last week and advanced farther east and northeast of Messines, while .the French repulsed all attacks further to tit-1 The sillies seem to have adopted a new plan in France, making each drive si battle complete in itself: they have demonstrated, they feel, that tlie German military power can be crushed, and the speed with which this is in be done depends largely on the aid given by the United States. On Thursday it was announced that the Germans had abandoned important sections of their front, between Lys river and Sr. Yves. Wilson’s Flag-Day Address. Flap Day. June 14, was marked by the enthusiasm and solemnity by which it was celebrated throughout the country, and also by a notable address by President Wilson in Washington. Mr. Wilson again set forth clearly the rea son why we have entered the war, forced thereto by the insults anti ag gressions of the German government; he drew a vivid picture of the German intrigues in the Balkans. Turkey. Per sia. India and Egypt and described the great German plan to throw a licit of military power and political control across the center of Europe and into the heart of Asia; he told how far this scheme had been carried toward suc cess. and where it had been foiled, and then scathingly denounced the deceit ful efforts to secure peace that the Ger man government has been making for a year because it knows its plan has failed and is trying to preserve its po litical power tit home and. indeed, its very existence. The president fairly took the liitte off the friends and partisans of tiie German government in this country. They will make no headway, he de clared. for they anil their thinly-dis guised disloyalties are known, and the truth is plainly seen by our people. “Woe he to the man or group of men that seeks to stand in our way in this day of high resolution,” cried the chief magistrate, “when every principle we hold dearest is to lie vindicated and made secure for the salvation of rite nations." Japan has been stirred to freslt ir ritation against the United States be cause our government sent a note to China regarding the dissension there and expressing the hope that tranquil lity might he established. The Japa nese assert that their special position in China is vital and must lie jealously guarded, and that the United States, in sending the note without first con sulting Japan, ignored that special po sition. r>erremr\ nun mo irritation of .Japan was caused by a bogus copy of ttic American note pub lished in Tokyo. Japan is about to send a commission to tin* United States to arrange co-op eration in the war between the two na tions, and to discuss the complex ques tions concerning the far East. The mission is to be headed by Yfkeount Kikujiro Ishii. formerly foreign min ister. Haiti and the Dominican Republic have both severed diplomatic relations with the German empire. Every little helps. Murderous Air Raid on London. The Germans on Wednesday made another of their murderous and useless airplane raids on London, dropping quantities of bombs mostly on the East end. Ninety-seven persons were killed and -K57 wounded. Among the dead were Hi women and 2(5 children. The raiders were soon driven off by British aviators and anti-aircraft can non. It is a wonder that these repeat ed raids do not drive the British to reprisal on some of the unfortified cities of Germany. The weekly report of the British ad miralty showed 3S British vessels sunk by submarines, the largest number for five weeks, but still far below the mark set by the Germans as necessary for file starvation of England. Among the victims of U-boats reported during the week were the American steamship 1‘etrolite, the Leyland liner Anglian and the South Atlantic liner fequuua. The last named was carrying Senega lese troops and P.Ht men were lost. An American steamship on arrival at an Atlantic port reported that she had rammed and sunk it German subma rine. In congress the conference report on the army and navy deficiency appro priation bill was accepted and this greatest of war budgets, carrying S-V o00.000.000 was sent to the president for liis approval. The administration food control bill came up for discus stmt in the senate and was bitterly attacked by Senator Heed of Missouri and others because of the power it proposes to lodge in a “food dictator" or some other agency selected by the president. Mr. Reed also severely criticized Herbert C. Hoover, whom Mr. Wilson has selected as head of the food control agency. NO DANGER FROM EX-CZAP, Deposed Autocrat Too Weak a Person ality to Serve as Rallying Point for Monarchists. Stockholm.'—The crews of the Rus sian warships which are anchored off Kronstadt are demanding that the for mer czar he delivered to them pending his trial. They say they have asked this thrice and that they are not going to be iaughed at. The government has refused this re quest on the ground that there is no i reason for such notion. Other factions in Russia are demanding that all of ; the Romanoffs be looked up in order to prevent any of the members of the j family being used as a rallying point i for those who would restore the mon archy. To the question in regard to the pos sibility of the czar serving ns a rally ing point, one of the leading Russians said: ; “It Is not in the man. He has no grasp of the situation, no comprehen sion of men or measures. He does not seem ts realize what has happened. He often starts aniazedly when the sol diers who are on guard address him not as ‘your majesty,’ hut ns ‘mister’ , or ‘colonel.’ “To the officers around him he puts the routine questions of the days of his audiences, asking them, for exam ple. what service they have seen, and so on, as if the answers would be given as a matter of course. “The probability Is he and his family will be exiled.” EPITOME OF EVENTS I — !PARAGRAPHS THAT PERTAIN TO MANY SUBJECTS. — i j Erief Mention of What is Transpiring In Various Sections of Our Own and Foreign Countries _ U.
