S. Would Demand Punishment. “We would force our government | the prompt punishment | those who had their devilish | hands in that scheme. . More. than that, we would demand witness in order to sec that it was done accord- ing to our sense of righteousness and justice,”” answered Rev, Mr. Keese When asked if he was really persuad- as al whole would be satisfied with an ex- | CIXSn “What have you to say about Rus- behavior?” asked the reporter. “Who wants to help Servia?” “Russia and her Czar, answer. “Not possibly to bring sclence, art | and religious liberty into Austria? was the next question. e proverb, 'Tell me with whom | you go and I will tell you who you | are, fits in that case,” said the pas- of all was the | ! tor. | | America’s Attitude If Germany Wars. * REV. FREDERICK KEESE. set a stage on which war dramas are played in reality. After that time, %n era of righteousness and good will among men will follow.” - Asked how it was that he had reached this conclusion, the pastor replied: “If nations would delight in doing the will of the Lord at our time, wars and rumors of wars and dissatisfaction on all sides would not be the sign of our day. But the ‘Prince of Light' is not wanted to reign over the people. The ‘Prince of Darkness’ will lead the majority of the human race into confusion, until what is left- of the nations will ery for help and deliverence to God Almighty and it shall not be done in vain. “If out of this comparamely small matter between Austria and Servia should come a general European war, in which the backbone of two branches are broken, then I do not hesitate ‘to state: that the victorious nations are mad. “If the European nations do not know to guard their holiest treasures any better than that, they will drive themselves in- their frenzy into the arms of their fellowman. . “If the - Austrian-Hungarian gov ernment ‘plits indirectly the responsi- bility for the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.and his consort before the door; of ‘the Servian government, I am | bdung to believe that she has, at least, #6 much proof for her opinion as the American government had in connec- tion with the events which compelled us to remember the Maine. - 'Justifies Action of Franz Joseph. “My faith in the Austrian govern- ment is strengthened by the solemn faét that'at the head of Austria-Hun- gary stands the aged Franz Joseph, the modern Job. I, as for my part, want to honor old age with such a rec- ord.” He must have proofs without a shadow of a doubt, that that govern- ment, against whom he declared war, had not a little to do with that most brutal maurder, “One proof alone is sufficient for me, namely, that the assassination found a jovful echo in the Servian press, It is not hard for me to be- lieve that political organizations, which are tolerated by the Servian government, have committed that wel]l planned crime. The sparrows on the roofs have for vears told the truth, that Pan-Slavic agitations to undermine the existence of Austria- Hungary were and are in full swing. Murder Nothing, New in Servia. “Murder, in order to see political ambition realized, has been nothing | pew in Servia. In 1868, Prince Mi- | chael became the victim of a political plot. King Milan would have been | Kkilled,. if he had not fled to foreign goil. King Alexander and Queen Draga were assassinated by officers of their own army. These officers were never punished, but they have Been promoted. “Fhe Austrian cabinet must con- sist of feeble-minded men, if they ghould fancy for a moment that the government of “Servia is earnestly en- deavoring to punish the guiity. What/ Americans Would Do, { «what do. you think the American eovle would do in a similar case?” ked the interviewer. , “I presume “that [ have some owledgé of the spirit of our people. , venture to say that, if instead that e Maine was blown up the Spanish neral, Weyler, at-that time govern- of Cuba, had succeeded in having President McKinley and | employes had attempted { nobiy. Asked what, in his opinion, Amer-‘ ica's attitude would be if Germany ! should be involved in' that war and be attacked from, at least, two sides, the clergyman replied. ‘Educated America should protest at the proper place, that the land of | science is not crushed for humanity's | sake.” My opinion is, that we, in spite of tradition, are bound to interfere at least morally, if Europe is going to | become ‘“a human slaughterhouse. we have told the world in the past, that we believe in “the brotherhood of man.” We are obliged to stand by our word. Results of Universal Peace Meager. ‘“My paper on ‘The War of Nations,’ which I have prepared for a military crganization of this city is almost finished and I fear that it will be too late to read it. I pointed out that the results of the propaganda for univer- sal peace had been very meager, that the dove of peace sits on a vol- cano. That gloomy underground thundering pronounces to the listening ear that a catastrophe is at hand so far-reaching an dterrible, that the world has not seen it. It seems to me that I hit the target not far from the bull's eye, “More than ever, I am convinced that there will not be peace on earth until Christ’s love shall reign in the hearts of men, and until this terres- tial ball lies at his feet. Prays for Fatherland. “I pray for all nations that they may get right with God. For my ‘Fatherland’ 1 pray especially that it would fear the Lord indeed.”. CONTRACTOR FIGHTS OVER EIGHT CENTS Police Are Notified and Entire Party Is Brought to Hcadquarters— Case Dismissed. Claiming that Frank Monkovich, a contractor for whom he has been working, owed him $3.28 for a day’s work and would only pay him $3.20, Vinco Sucia became much vexed at 12:10 o’clock today and as a result, boss and employe mixed it up.” THe police were notified and two officers were sent to Gold street ex- tension where the scrap was in prog- ress. They brought the entire party to the police station. It appeared that Sucia had been laid off after working one day this week and when he came to get his pay this noon the boss wanted to cut him down eight cents. The fight resulted. As the quarrel was over the small sum of eight cents and both parties seemed at fault Sergeant Herting dismissed the case. Witnesses who were on the street at the time of the fracas told the of- ficers that Monkovich and two of his to throw Sucia out of a second story window and the latter had defended hlmse!t The condition of Monkovich’s tce indicated this last fact.
