BLAMES ONLY RUSSIA FOR
WAR; SAYS FIGHT AGAINST
THE SLAVS IS A JUST ONE
Louis Haimann, Hungarian
Now Living in Augusta, Tells
of What He Claims is the
Real Cause
SAYS ENGLAND FIGHTING
FOR NO SPECIAL REASON
Russia Wanted Control of
Mediterranean Seaports and
She Planned to Bring on the
War
Louis Haimann, a native Hungar
ian, born in the town of Klausenburg
25 years ago, is now? living in Augus
ta. He with other of his
family came to America nine years
ago. Since he has been in this coun
try, until two years ago, lie lived
among a Hungarian colony in New
York City, spoke thi Hungarian lan
guage and read Hungarian newspa
pers daily, in fact, lived as near to
his native life as possible.
On Outcome of the War.
Mr. Haimann w’as seen and asked
this morning by a Herald reporter for
his views on the outcome of the pres
ent war, to which he replied enthus
iastically in a most interesting man
ner, giving his opinions also on var
ious phases of the world's great stru
gle of today.
“Before I can give you my opion
of the outcome of the European con
flict,” returned Mr. Haimann, "it will
be necessary for ime to explain the
details in full of the real cause of the
present war.
Why Russia Is Servia’s Ally.
‘‘For generations,” said Mr. Hai
mann, “Austria-Hungary and Russia
have struggled for the control of the
Balkan seaports on the Mediterran
ean. For this reason Russia is Ser
via's ally and supports her in every
move.
"Being asured of Russia's support,
Servia awoke to the posibility of be
coming a greater country. And know
ing' of the invitation to the Archduke
and Dutchess to come to Sarejeva, a
town in Bosnia, one of our posses
sions, they planned the assassination.
‘‘Through the investigation by the
Austria-Hungary government of the
assassination, we found that the lead
ing officials of the Servian govern
ment were implicated in suplying the
jtuns and bombs to the students of the
university of Belgrade (Belgrade is
capital city of Servia) with which to
carry out the. carefully planned assas
sination.
Did What Any Country Would Do.
“Austria Hungary demanded of the
Servian government an investigation
and punishment of all who were di
rectly or indirectly responsible for the
crime. Servia refused, knowing that
the assassination had been planned by
Russia who wanted to stir up trouble
for the past few years. We then did
what any other country Would do if
two of its high officials had been
murdered.
“Failing in her peremptory demands
for satisfaction, Austria Hungary de
clared w’ar on Servia.
“Before the army of Austria Hun
gary could cross the Danube river,
the Servian border, the Rusian am
bassador to Vienna had handed an ul
timatum to the Austrian-Hungarian
government, notifying it that if it at
tempted to send troops across the
border and invade Servia, Russia
would at once aid SeSvia, and Russia
hurried to mobolize mr forces.
“Instead of Austria-Hungary ans
wering Russia’s ultimatum, Germany,
standing true to her alliance, answer
ed it for her, saying: If Russia aids
Servia. Germany will aid Austria.
Russia Hurried to Mobolize.
“Germany tried her best to stop the
Russian mobilization, but Russia
deafened her ears to Kaiser Wilhelm
and proceded to mobilize her armies
on the border of Germany. Germany
then declared war on Russia by the
highest law of nature—self-preserva
tion. although I am of the opinion 'hat
while Russit. did not declare war on
Germany, she mobilized on the Ger
man frontier intending to strike
against Germany before any declaia
tion of war.’’
Asked if he thought Italy would re
main in the Triple Alliance, Mr. Hai
nian said. "It is my opinion, and I feel
certain that 1 am right on this point,
that Italy will remain In the Triple
Alliance, where she belongs, although
it has been said that she wouldn't. I
base my opinion chiefly upon rcpqfts
which I have read in “Amerlkat Mag
tar Ncpsnva.” a Hungarian newspa
per to w hich I a <ma regular subscrib
er.”
From Hungarian Newspaper.
Bulling from his coat pocket a re
cent issue of the Hungarian paper, he
read: “It is reported in ‘A Messagero’
(an Italian newspaper) that all the
forces from the south have received
orders to cease repulsing the Servians
and just establish the necessary guard
on the front. With new Bosnian
forces, the Austrian-Hungarian troops
arc hastening to the Gallician frontier
to aid the present Austria*: amny,
, advancing toward Warsaw, at
they have been asured by Italy that
she will aid Austria-Hungary and
against all allies.”
“What do you think about France
and England Joining in the fight
against Germany?” asked the repor
ter.
“I think the French government,
answered Mr Haimann, “simply took
advantage of an oportunity she had to
go to war with Germany to regain the
territory she lost by the Franeo-Prus
elan war. and here I may say that I
don't think she'll get it back, either,
r "England is fighting for no special
reason, as 1 construe It, but because of
her Jealousy of Germany and-8-ar that
some day Germany will be a greater
power than herself,
Germany Prspsred.
‘‘Germany Is well prepared for this
v , r pn<i been training her inert
constant!) an.l ia ready for the
fight as long as it may last. Man for
man she is ahead of any other coun
try in the world when it comes to
fighting.”
Asked to explain how Germany ev
er hoped to win against the allies, Mr.
Haimann replied: “Germany is out
numbered in my opinion only two to
one, and if you will let me explain the
class of soldiers she is fighting, I will
tell you why I say the victory will at
the en 1 be Germany’s.
“The French army is untrained
compared to the German’s. The
French love frivolity and a good time
more and hard work less than the
Germans.
“England’s army amounts to very
little, and knowing of the installation
of the Irish army and the amount
raised when Ireland declared, her in
dependence from England, she has
called upon the Irish reserves.
"The largest army is Russia’s,
which is also the weakest of all. In
my opinion Russia is the only coun
try to be blames for this war. She
could have prevented it if it were not
for the ignorance of her ruler. It
is a country which has no chance for
education, nor civilization, and the
ignorance of one man is keeping them
all back from enlightenement, simply
because he wishes to control them anil
persecute them at his will.
Russian Barbarism,
“Just think of the barbarism in Si
berian Russia; how many innocent
people have to suffer for their life
time for things which they are wrong
ly accused of and moreover know ab
solutely nothing about. The only
comparison is found in early years—
the time of the Spanish inquisition.
But now civilization and education
has brought about a change, which, as
yet, has not taken place in Russia. If
you would like to know something of
the barbaric practices in that distant
land, read what Leo Tolstoy wrote
about his own country and also Si
beria. It will give you a good im
pression of a nation that wants to
rule all of Europe.
Length of War.
‘‘Now as to the length of the war,
it is hard for me to say. It Is also hard
to say what might yet develop. I
think, however, that there is verv lit
tle hope for an early settlement. If
all the Balkan nations Join the coun
tries at present engaged in the war
It will merely be the beginning of the
conflict, that no doubt will go down
In history as the greatest the world
has ever known.
"But let’s hope it wil be over soon.
Germany and Austria-Hungary will
stand together until the end, no mat
ter what the result may be. Their right
against the barbaric Slavs is a Just
one and we pray to the Almighty that
when this war shall have ended ever
asting peace will reign and that civ
l.izied nations shall never again re
course to force of arms against one
another, but shall endeavor to elevate
the unfortunate Slavic race, which in
the twentieth century could not ripen
to appreciate the blessing of peace and
civilization.”
lESTERDI) WAS
DIAMOND JUBILEE
The Celebration of Father
Lonergan’s Sixtieth Anniver
sary As a Priest Was An Un
paralleled Success
“Father Lonergan’s Day” was cele-
Seeltu y ' ste ' day by the parishioners of
bfered Heart church with perhaps the,
most remarkable ovation ever off.red lo
one man n Augusta. Tlie day marked
tlie sixtieth anniversary of Father
ergan s consecration as a Jesuit Priest.
A Diamond Jubilee was arranged and
carried out ill his honor under the di-
Vectmn of .apt. P. .. R| ce , as general
chairman, Capt. E. J. O Connor, chalr
man, and Mr. John P. Doyle, secretary
Eight sub-committees, working under
these gentlemen, provided for every de
tail of the day's arrangements, and the
festival was organized to perfection
In the morning Father I.onergan re
ceived deputations of children In tlie
call hull, who presented hint with gifts
tlie iKiys with a very handsome satchel,
to use in paying Bick calls; the girls
with a beautiful hanu-niHde cassock.
In the afternoon Father Lonergun was
the guest of the gentlemen of Ills flock
at a barbecue at Carmichael s, Capt.
Rice presiding. There were no exer
cises to mar tlie informality and simple
jo.v of the dinner, which was like a great
big family party. The health of tlie
reverend Father was drunk by the com
pany standing,
In the evening a reception was held
at the College Hall, at which addresses
and some exceptionally fine music
brought the gala day to s close. MVs.
G. Worth Andrews. Mrs. It. S. Dunbar,
Mr. Joseph 1,. Mulherln, and Mr. John
P. Mulherln sang superbly In quartette,
accompanied by Miss Alice Doyle. Tlie
famous male quartette, Messrs. Cotter.
Rox, Chapman and Jus. Mulherln sung
In several numbers The solists were
Mrs. Dunbar, Mr. John P. Mulherin and
Mr. John Rox.
An address, In the form of resolutions
engrossed on velum, and framed, was
presented to Father Lonergan in tlie
name of the congregation by Capt. E. J.
O’Connor. Capt. O’Connift- spoke at
some length in eulogy of Father Loner
gan's work and life In Augusta.
Tlie Father was moved to repeat
again and again expressions of his deep
appreciation and thanks for the love and
affection heaped upon him. It has sel
dom been a man's privilege to see be
fore him all the good deeds of Ids life
mirrored backed to him in the faces of
a devoted and grateful throng, whose
lives he has helped to mold, and f'fr
whose happiness he has given up ids
own. Small wonder If the uged priest's
eyes filled with tears.

MERCHANTS EXCHANGE IS PUN
SUGGESTED B! MAYOR HAYNE
Head of City Says Augustans Have Grown to Love Luxury
to Such Extent That They Will Not Go to Market Any
Longer---Average Woman Phones for What She Wants
BARKER SAYS
MUST BE MORE
ECONOMICAL
Situation Not So Bad As Pic
tured, Declares Mr. Schweig
ert, Who is Just Back From
New York---Cotton Would
Have Been Worth Nine Cents
Had There Been No War
Mr. William Schweigert, president
o' the Union Savings Bank, and Mrs.
Schweigert returned Tuesday morning
after a trip of two weeks to New
York.
Mr. Schweigert was questioned by
a reporter on business conditions,
and he said that they were beginning
to adjust themsolve to the new order
of things caused by the war.
"The problem of foreign exchange
worried the New York bankers for a
time,” said Mr. Schweigert, "but now
it is very much improved. There Is
going to be plenty of money in the
North and West because of the large
exportations of foodstuffs to Europe
and the good prices attained.
Asked about cotton and the South,
Mr. Schweigert said that while the
South is suffering more than any
other section because of having no
European demand for cotton at the
present, still the people here should
be thankful over the situation, for
they are far removed from that thea
ter of war where thousands of home i
are being broken up by the loss of
the husbands and fathers and fortunes
swept away by imperial deerees of
confiscation of property.
Should Economize.
“The farmer who is able to hold liis
cotton should do so,” said Mr. Schwei
gert, “but we must learn how to econ
omize. I think the South has forgot
ten how to be economical. We have
had a good price for cotton so long
that we have fallen into extravagant
ways. If there had been no war and
with nearly 16,000,000 bales of cotton
in prospect for this year we would
have received probably 9 cents per
pound. And does it not seem absurd
that the people should be so bad off
when they can get 7% cents for the
staple now? Some years ago we re
ceived 6 cents for cotton, and while
it costs more to live now, still we
make more per acre than we used to
make. I believe that new uses are
going to be found for cotton and that
we are going to spin much more in
this country than ever before and 1
hope that the European market will
open up before long. 1 cannot see any
disaster ahead of us. We should raise
foodstuff and economize and things
will come out all right. The
hankers throughout the whole country,
the South, of course, included, have
enough money to take care of their
customers, but they do not propose
to make any loans for speculation.
The banks of the South are advanc
ing money for handling cotton, but
not for storing cotton."

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
That Augustans, and Augusta wo
men particularly, have grown to love
luxury so much that they will not
patronize a market from which they
can select their vegetables.with dis
criminating care, is the belief of May
or 1,. C. Hayne, who was asked what
ho thought of the practicability of a
vegetable depot which will bring the
producer and the consumer directly in
touch with each other.
“It is a splendid idea,” said Mayor
Hayne, “and should be a success, but
we have become acustomed to every
thing wc eat being brought to our
doors for so long that 1 do not believe
we can every get back to the market
plan. Years ago the market house
was an institution in Augusta, just as
it is now in Savannah, Charleston
and other cities, but the enterprising
grocers often caught the farm wag
ons before they reached the market
and bought the choice produce and
when the housewife was ready to buy
she found that she could get better
service from the grocer. This, together
with the fact that the market house
at Fifth and Broad uas not situated
in the right place, caused the aban
donment of the plan In Augusta.
“The older people of the city who
know of the advantages of the market
house will be glad to see Its return,
but the younger generation do not in
cline unto the ways of their fathers.
"Picture In your mind our young
matrons walking down or motoring
down to the market market between
6 and 9 a. in. to get their vegetables
for the day. The average woman gets
up and dons a kimono and then lan
guidly reaches for the telephone. She
tells the grocer and the butcher what
she wants for the day. If the grocer
hasn’t what she wants and is enter
prising enough he gets it forthwith.
“Now, I think that a merchant’s ex
change plan is very practicable and
should be a success. Under this plan
all of the country wagons and truck
ers would come to the city in the
morning and go to a central point and
the grocers from all over town would
gather there to purchase their sup
plies for that day and the following
one. All of the butchers In town go
to the stockyards each morning to
buy their cows, calves, sheep, etc.,
and tlie people from the country bring
their live stock to sell. So why
shouldn't all of the people from the
country, including the truckers, bring
their produce, vegetable, etc., to a cen
tral jilace and let the grocers eompeto
with each other In purchasing it. In
this manner every grocer in town will
have an oportunity to get all of the
vegetables and produce of the season.
While under thepresent plan lie may
miss the choicest articles because no
produce wagon comes his way.

NEW SEWER TD
RELIEVE TIE
CONDITIONS
Property Owners Have Filed
Fifteen Suits For Damages
Because of Overflow of
Water From Sewer Which
Comes Down Wrightsboro
Road. Sewer to Cost Twelve
Thousand Dollars---Dog Or
dinance Goes Over
City council met yesterday after
noon at 4:30 o'clock and had a session
lasting considerably over an hour,
during which a great many matters of
more or less importance were consid
ered. Reports of officers were read
and much routine business disposed
of. •
One of the principal matters that
camo up was one directing that bids
be secured and work started as early
as possible on making an extension to
the big sewer on the Wrightsboro
Road which comes down from Monte
Sano so that it will open into Motile's
Branch near the Buckeye Oil Mill.
There have been about fifteen damage
suits filed against the city because of
the overflowing water from the sewer
and the accumulation of filth in the
section in (lie vicinity of South Boun
dary Street and Augusta Avenue.
Whenever there is a big rain the
sewer is inadequate to take off the
water from the hill and there is an
overflow Which causes water to lie
from three to four feet deep in some
sections, damaging property, etc., and
although no suits have as yet been
tried, still it is the opinion of the city
attorney, Mr. C. Henry Cohen, that
Augusta must have the sewer put in
or the city will be liable for serious
damages.
A total of 312,000 will he required
to relieve the situation and extend the
sewer to Mollie's Branch and council
deems is economy to have this work
done as quickly as possible. Mrs.
Mary E. Roulette brought suit re
cently against the city for $1,640 for
damage done to her property on the
Wrightsboro Road through overflows
of tlie sewers in that section of the
city, while John Langley asks for
$1,660 for damages to his property
on Roulette Alley. To do all of tlie
work properly $30,000 would he re
quired, in the opinion of Mr. Nisliet
Wingfield, commissioner of public
works, lint. $12,000 will he enough to
relieve the situation just now.
Thero was a great deal of argument
as to whether or not Mr. T. W. Pil
cher’s dog ordinance should go to its
third reading as amended. Mr. Pil
cher claimed that it should go to Its
third roadtng as the ordinance was
read yesterday for the seeond time,
and was not a new ordinance, simply
having been amended. The mayor
ruled that the ordinance hail been
amended to such extent that It Is
practically a new ordinance and, upon
objection of five members, the ordi
nance went over until the October
meeting. If passed it will go into ef
fect the first of January next. Copies
of the amended ordinance will he fur
bished to members of council prior to
the next meeting.
EITHER METERS OR
MUCH PROSECUTION
City’s Consumption of Water
Enormous. Canal Power Dis
cussed in Council Meeting.
Gasoline Ordinance W,ent
Over
That there Is a tremendous waste
of water in Augusta and that the city
will have to soon begin steps to pro
vide for a greater water supply unless
the consumption is minimized to some
extent, was the assertion of Mr. Nls
liet Wingfield, commissioner of public
works, at the meeting of council yes
terday afternoon. Council was Inform
ed that the people of Augusta use be
tween 10,009,090 and 12,000,000 gallons
of water per day, whereas only 8,000,-
000 gallons should be used.
Council was of the opinion that
meters must he Installed or vigorous
prosecutions Instituted against peo
ple allowing their hydrants to run all
night. The great consumption of wa
ter by the residents of the city has
caused the street sprinklers to lie
taken off during*the past few weeks.
The fact that some of the cotton
mills have not been co-operating with
the city In the way of shutting off the
water when ordered by the superin
tendent of water works to shut off
canal newer was also brought out in
the general discussion of the water
situation. However, the water power
in the canal lias nothing whatever to
do with tlie water supply in the res
ervoir since wider In the canal comes
from the river at the locks and the
water in tlie basin on the top of the
hill is pumped there from the pumping
station situated some distance this
side of the locks.
Councilman T H Haworth, who Is
president of the Hlhley Manufactur
ing Company, slated that Ills mill
shut off canal power whenever order
ed to do so by the superintendent of
waterworks. Mr. Wingfield, when
questioned as to whether the mills
were being treated as they should he
In the distribution of canal power,
that is If their priorities for water
were respected, said that he did the
best he could but lie did not employ
the men who work for the city. Mr,
Wingfield said that low water recent
ly had caused the power to he snout
half what It usually Is.
The ordinance of Councilman Kent
for street cars to stop before cross
ing Fifteenth and Walton Wav, Fif
teenth and Gwinnett and Twelfth and
Gwinnett Htreets was carried over to
the next meeting. It will undoubtedly
puss at that time.
The ordinance providing for the
storage of gasoline anil other inflam
mables also went over. Because of its
Importance it was ordered published
by city council that every one may
examine It closely.

Behind The Scenes of Howe
A great deal lias been said in regard
to Mr. Lyman 11. Howe's "World-
Wonders." which were shown at the
Grand, Monday and Tuesday night,
however, too much cannot lie said on
tlie subject. But as (he “audience"
side has already been commented on,
lets take a littl trip behind the scenes.
One of the Herald's representatives
happens to he acquainted with a
theatrical man, who, in Ids turn, is a
friend of the “effect man”—The per
son who makes the pictures seem
real, by Ids ability to "fake” the noises

It was found that all the mercury
