WEDNESDAY, Sfct'r. 3. ITOSAMAN, W AWMJSTA, TALES ©M TEE ©iT£©ME ©F EiIOPEAM WAI 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.

Phone 75-W to night 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." 115 PUPILS ENROLLED AT TUBMAN IN ,2 DAYS Registration is Away Ahead of Last Year’s. Means Girls En rolling Earlier, Possibly Mr. T. H. Garrett, principal, is as busy as can be at Tubman High school this week, enrolling pupils for the en suing session, and attending to matters preparatory to tlie opcninll of school next Monday morning. He stated this morning that In only two (lavs, Monday and Tuesday, of tills week, lie smelled 115 old and new pu pils. This record Is far ahead of last year’s, and Is an indication that the young ladies are registering this year earlier than before. Mr. Garrett says that he expects the sellout to lie crowded to Its capacity and that there will probably be no vacant se.ts at any time during the year. Tlie school can accommodate only approxi mately 250 pupils. The highest enrollment last year was 239. HOTEL ARRIVALS Hofbrau Hotel. T. .1. Mullen, Jacksonville; W. A. Goobard, Marion. S. C.; L. W.

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. TEACHERS INSTITUTE MEETS WITH SUCCESS Musical Concert Thursday Night Free to Public---Pro gram for Last Two Days The Rural Teachers Institute being held this week at the Tubman High School is meeting with success from every standpoint. Above all, the teachers attending are being helped In their profession beyond measure.

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. ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION OF NEW POSTOFFICE BUILDING BEGINS IN FIFTEEN DAYS FROM NOW First Equipment for Handling Huge Blocks of Stone and Marble Arrives—Pile Driving, Un der Supervision of Supt. J. G. Gaskin, Began Tuesday, Driving 15 to 16 Concrete Pedestal Piles a Day. The first equipment—several large derricks and one of the steam hoisting engines—to be used in tlie actual con struction of the new Augusta Post office and Federal Courthouse on Bar rett Plaza arrived on the site Tues day. It will be several days yet be fore they are put into service. At present the heavy steam pile driver is making all (he noise and doing most of the work. After a few days consumed to make some neces sary repairs to the pile-driving ma chinery, Superintendent J. G. Gaskin has all hands at work now and is making progress with his one and a half ton hammer, operating at the rate of sixty-odd licks to (he minute. The pile-driving was begun Tuesday. The 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 that go with the scenes. Well, letH get down to the “hack view.” After entering via the stago door, an Introduction follows, to Iho “effect man," Mr. Walter Walhelmer, Cooler Tonight Says Forecast. On Account of Tuesday Being Seven Degrees Above Nor nal, Seventy-One Degrees Wednesday Morning Felt Like Fall Weather Throughout tlie morning and until noon Wednesday it seemed Just Ilk. the approach of fall weather; fell somewhat cooler, but, as h matter of fact, after consulting the forecaster. It was found that all the mercury dropped last night was to the 71 de cree mark, and it didn’t reach this point till X a. in. On account of the* cloudy condition the temperature rt>- mnined stationary until noon. The highest temperature Tuesday was 96 degrees and due to this fact the 71 degrees Wednesday morning ap peared to be cooler than It really would onder normal conditions. Tuesday’s temperature was 7 degrees above nor mal. Today wu« nearly normal. The forecast predicts cooler weather Wednesday night and also alleges that Wednesday night ami Thursday will be unsettled with occasional showers. “ADELE” HAS SAME STARS AS THE LAST SEASON Operetta to be Rendered i Augusta on Sept. 18th--.

A. Barnard Alleges Perma nent Injuries in Accident on Belt Line Last Month C. A. Barnard, 1026 Roberts Street, lias brought suit for $45,000 against l he Augusta Belt Railway Company, Louisville K Nashville and Atlantic Coast Line Railway Companies, alleg ing injuries to this extent, sustained August 13th last, while in the ser vice of tlie railway as switchman. The petitioner rlainis that he was riding on a box car Just ahead of a flat ear, which was something like twenty ears from the rear of the train, consisting of seventy-two cars In all; that he was proceeding to the rear of the train to attend to his du ties when the accident occurred.
