At the request of the alumni com mittee on the rebuilding of College Hall a student advisory committee to be appointed by the president of the Student Council has been asked to enter into conference with the alumni members relative to the use to which old College Hall, in its rebuilt state, shall be put. The alumni advisory committee have very definite ideas as to certain features of the plans for re building, but inasmuch as it is their desire that the old hall serve the pres ent student body in its very highest capacity, they have felt that a com mittee of representative students could possibly offer some suggestions in the plans that would tend toward a great er usefulness as a social and commun ity center for the campus. A committee of ten has been ap pointed consisting of Seniors, Misses Fern Ferris and Arnot Lewis, Messrs. P. J. Hoffmaster, Rex Wilcox, and T. C. Dee; Juniors, Miss Louise Hubbard, E. Osborne, and E.

Union, the money to be used in furnishing the new Union home in College Hall when it is re built. The Horts have chosen this use for their funds, part of which were obtained from the Hort show, in pref erence to the annual Hort Club ban quet of former years. The Hort Club has the honor of being the first or ganization to make a subscription to ward furnishing the Union building. They have used excellent judgment in selecting this use for their fund and have set an example for other organi zations. to establish a precedent for other clubs who are ending the year with surplus funds.

The final article history of the present war. the causes in Prof. Ryder's to leading up Professor Ryder, director of the summer session at M. A. O, has just summer completed school to August 2. As is indicated by the quo tation ap pearing on the cover of the announce President Wilson, to be held for from June 24 plans from the Close upon the heels of the Morroc- can affair came a succession of events. The interest of the world was direct ed to the east. Italy, like her fellow states, hungered for colonial territory, the especially around be- Mediterranean. the borders of lying Tripoli, the west, tween Egypt, under an English pro tectorate, on the one side, and Tunis under France on the other, was the object of her ambitions. It was the one remaining vestige of the power of the Turk in northern Africa. In 1911 conditions seemed propitious for Italy to make the seizure. A short war brought terms of settlement fa vorable to Italy. The important con sequence of this war is the fact that it aroused the Balkan states, Servia and Bulgaria, together with Greece, to unite to drive the Turk from his European holdings. The reader should be reminded at this point that the Balkans, especially Servia, were smart ing under the act of the Austrians in 1908 in seizing Bosnia and Hertz- govina, provinces along the Adriatic, which in 1878 at the time of Russia's humiliation by the western nations had been placed under Austria for purposes of administration. Now Aus tria seizes them. The occasion for this act was the reinvigoration of the young Turkish government by the Turkish party, who prepared to re establish their authority in the terri-. tory of including Bosnia and Hertzgovina. Austria and Ger many by this time desired strong con trol of Constantinople by the Turks, but objected to their control in the west on account of Austria. This marks an aggressive policy toward the Slavic states on the part of Austria intense jeal and naturally provokes ousy in the Balkans. Smarting un der this act of Austria the Balkans in 1912 engaged in a common cause against Turkey and with unforeseen success drove the Turk to the very edge of Europe. The peace negotiat ed was not acceptable to the allied parties and a ensued among themselves over the division of territory. The treaty of London in 1913 left these states dissatisfied, es pecially Servia, who for many years had sought relief from her landlocked condition by an outlet to the sea. She sees herself now the easy victim of a further aggression on the part of Austria. Stirred by situation, anti-Austrian or pro-Servian propa It spreads across ganda is rampant. the border of Servia into Bosnia where, upon a visit of Prince Ferdi nand, the unfortunate murder by in censed Servians occurs at Serijevo in July, 1914. This unfortunate affair becomes the pretext for Austria to use in pursuing her policy of removing Servia from her way. Her demands were so exacting as to preclude ac ceptance by Servia if she hoped to maintain her national existence and dignity. The matter might rightfully have been submitted arbitration for adjustment, but Germany, the ally of Austria as well as of Turkey, re fused to sanction such procedure on the part of Austria and without hesi tation mobilizes her ever ready forces for action. She first demands that Russia cease her mobilization already undertaken as the friend of Slavic second war this to THE M. A. C. RECORD. In at Servia. Germany also sends an ulti matum to France, the leader of the Triple Entente. An evasive reply by France results in Germany directing her first attach through Belgium with the expectation of humbling France before Russia could get under mo tion, after which she might subdue Russia with ease. The situation re minds one of the wars of the sixties by which German unity was accom three respects plished. least the parallel holds. It was a war sought for ulterior purposes, namely ultimate domination of the world. (We see it now.) Again no justifi able reason existed for nations en gaging in conflict of arms and a well laid plan for a quick decisive cam paign is evident whereby the desired end could be attained before the op ponents could possibly organize their resources. Two reasons stand out as the cause of the Germans' failure. Little Belgium with unexcelled brav for Paris, ery contested that drive while the threat of Russia on the east seems to have unnerved the Germans at the very moment of possible vic tory. to apparent that in calling The foregoing recital of events re the occasion and motives of flects each nation's entering into this strug the gle. It seems claims of Germany it a war of defense are absolutely absurd. Rather her appearance as a leader of a great Pan-German ambition with Austria and Turkey as sworn allies, stands forth in uncontrovertible evi dence. The wonder is that the world has been so deaf the persistent warnings of Charadame, the French writer, who for a score of years has foreseen this scheme embodying a plan sure to make a strong appeal to the commercial and capitalistic class es of the German nation. Pan-Ger territorially manism southeastern Europe, southwestern Asia and carried with it not only im perial domination comparable with that of the empire of Charlemagne or the Holy Roman Empire, but threat- end the very existence of eastern po sitions of England and France. Par enthetically it may be remarked that the disruption of Russia transcends in potentialities the fondest dreams of the most sanguine Pan-Germanist. comprehended England after strenuous efforts by Lord Grey in behalf of peace entered the war because of the infraction of the rights of Belgium. It is a mat ter of grave doubt as to whether the enthusiasm for France would have drawn England into the conflict. La ter as the war has developed it has become a matter of life and death for that nation. Italy found herself embarrased by the course of events. She was a mem ber of the Triple Alliance with Ger many and Austria, while at the same time a conflict of interests existed be tween herself and Austria over the eastern coast of the Adriatic, which both nations desired to control.

Early in the war, she found excuse for so doing on the score that the present conflict was a war of ag gression while the alliance was purely defensive. Having taken this stand she immediately engaged in the strug gle with a view of extending the Ital ian territory to comprehend the areas along the eastern shore of the Adri atic in which the Italian population existed in considerable numbers. In closing this very hasty sketch of the historical setting of the war we should not fail to account for Bul garia's being an ally of the Germans. The recent Balkan war has terminat ed disastrously for Bulgaria, her am bitions being frustrated along with the ambitions of Servia. The prob lem for Bulgaria was to know which side would bring her the desired ter that ritory and prestige. Realizing France and England had little inter est in the near east except to main tain peace and at the time knowing that Germany would be con cerned in carrying forward her scheme southeastern for aggrandizement Europe, Bulgaria seems to have cast her lot with the Teutons in the be lief that the greatest good to herself would result therefrom. same in H.
