SLAVS DESTROY MONUMENT OF DEAD ARCHDUKE Granite and Bronze Marker Was Erected by the Austrians Sarajevo, Bosnia, Aug. 23.—The Slavs have torn down the beautiful monument of granite and bronze which the Austrians erected to the memories of Archduke Franz Ferdi nand and his wife, Sophia, Duchess of Hohenberg, which stood at a cor ner of the bridge here where their assassination by Prinzip furnished the spark that set off the world war. It bore a bronze plaque showing the figures of both Ferdinand and Sophia. Now that Bosnia —Herzegovina has passed from the rule of Austria and become a part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the parts of the monument have been stored in the Museum of Sarajevo. When the curator has time they will be assembled for the edification of the students of history and to satis fy the curiosity of sight-seers. Sarajevo seems almost to have forgotten the bomb-throwing and is well on its way toward making "busi ness as usual." As a demobilized soldier said, "We're all sick of the war business!" But the mixed pop ulation and the undertone of sym pathy for Austria lead one to won der what may happen in the genera tion after that of Prinzip.

HARRISBURG, PA. SATURDAY EVENING. PRUSSIANISM IS GERMAN DOOM, DECLARES WRITER Charges Germany With Hav ing Erred in the Versailles Notes Berlin, Aug. 23.—"The reason why the whole world rose up against Prussia and Germany and not against England is plain to everyone who had observed the Prussian policy in Poland and the Prussian administration in Alsace," asserted Professor F. W. Forester, of the University of Munich, writing in the Tageblatt. "England practiced much might to be sure, but it has also given the world much freedom and jus tice," he added. "She succeeded in reconciling the Boers whereas we were unable in forty years to regain the sympathies of the Alsatians who are German to the core. That speaks volumes. "The isolation of Germany from Hague conferences is irrefutable proof in dominating circles that Ger many is possessed of different men tality than the rest of the world." He charges Germany with having erred in the exchange of the Ver sailles notes on the question of guilt and states that many one-sided ac cusations might have been combated more effectively if Germany had not again endeavored to defend untem able positions with rank sophistries.

COHAN WOULD BREAK STRIKE BY NEW MOVE Threatens to Form Associa tion of Independent Actors By Associated Press. New York, Aug. 23.-—George M. Cohan, theatrical Broadway's idol and a leading member of the Pro ducing Managers' Protective Asso ciation, to-day was on the verge of retiring from play production for ever, to devote his life and SIOO,OOO of his fortune to the upbuilding of a new "independent" actors' organi zation in an effort to break the actors' strike and keep the stage free from the control of organized labor. In a letter to Louis Mann, chair man of a meeting of nearly 900 actors and actresses not members of the Actors' Equity Association, Mr. Cohan last night intimated that he would resign from the managers' association and give himself entirely to the interests of a new organiza tion of actors which would work "for the uplift of the spirit of the stage," as soon as a definite organi zation could be perfected and its aims outlined. More than 450 actors and actress es signed up for the new association under Mr. Mann's guidance, and immediately a committee was ap pointed to draft a constitution and bylaws and wait on Mr. Cohan. The committee of the "indepen dent" actors organization selected to wait on Mr. Cohan included Alan Dinehart, David W'arfield, Alexan der Leftwich, Frederick Carr, Wil liam Collier, Janet Beecher, Zelda Sears. Leonore Ulrich, Marjorie Wood and Arthur Ashley. Other developments in the strike situation vesterday included a state ment by Charles C. Shay, president of the International Alliance of Stage Hands and Motion Picture Operators, that "next week at the meeting of the American Federation of Labor at Syracuse I shall intro duce a resolution demanding that the Federal industrial commission probe into this strike and hold pub lic meetings."

Grover Cleveland Bergdoll. wanted by the United States Government for dodg ing the draft and as a deserter from the United States service, was caught at the Bergdoll home at Fifty-second street and Wynnefield avenue, yester day—almost.

For hours the agents of the Gov ernment, armed to the teeth, waited for the papers with which they were empowered to search the place for the fugitive who was supposed to be in hiding, and they had finally got inside and combed the house thor oughly, they came out shaking their heads dolefully, and one of them mur mured: "Well, I'll be d—d.' And the crowd that had waited from early in the morning until 3 o'clock to see the fugitive brought out understood that once again, Grover Bergdoll had "put one over."

HOUSE OWNERS AND TENANTS IN DEADLOCK Latter Refuse to Move at the Request of the Land lords Paris, Aug. 23.—The struggle be tween Parisian landlords, who seek to double or treble the Income from their properties, and tenants, who arc unable to find vacant apart ments at any reasonable price, has reached a deadlock. House owners refuse to extend leases or to advertise for rent apart ments that have been vacated. Ten ants, unable to find new quarters, refuse to move at the behest of the landlords, while the courts have ceased to entertain applications for writs of expulsion, there not being enough process servers to handle those already issued. Fifty thousand notices to vacate were served on tenants for the end of the second quarter of this year. Such notices were received by all the tenants of some apartment houses, showing- how generally land lords have sought to increase rents. The extent of the movement has provoked the passage by the Cham ber of Deputies of a bill extending for two years all verbal leases made since the beginning of the war. Leases made prior to the war al ready were protected by decrees and > legislation. Warn Rumania Her Requisitions Will Be Deducted From Indemnity By Associated Press. Paris, Aug. 23.—The reparation committee of the Peace Conference has drafted a note which the Su preme Council probably will send to Rumania immediately warning the Bucharest government that repara tions under the German and Aus trian trtaties will be entirely cut off if the Rumanians continue to make requisition and that all requi sitions already made by the Ru manians in Hungary will be deduct ed from that nation's share in tho indemnity to be paid by Austria. Rumanian soldiers continue seiz ing foodstuffs, farming machinery and other materials in Hungary and are sending them to Rumania, but the fact that an important railroad bridge near the Hungarian frontier has been wrecked makes it impos sible for the goods to enter Ru mania.
