EUROPE'S GREAT WAR The Little Cause That Led Up to the Momentous Conflict ' There is no sanjak of Novihaz.ar any more; it is divided between Servia and Montenegro. But its ghost and its ro gretted memory were enough, in all likelihood, to set on foot Europe's giant war. The sanjak was in 1908 a strip of land smaller than Connecticut and with but 170,000 inhabitants, belong ing without a shadow of doubt to Tur key, if treaties could be respected. By the treaty of Berlin Austria-Hungary was permitted to garrison some of its towns, but the civil administration was 'left to Turkey, wherein its status differed from that of Bosnia-Herzego vina, which Austria-Hungary adminis tered nominally for Turkey as suzerain. The sanjak divided Montenegro and Servia. It was a wedge between the southern Serbs, through which the Austrians planned to drive a railway, and with it their rule, to Saloniki. That railway would only have been a linking of the one running up to Mi trovitza from the south with the mili tary line from Sarajevo to the Servian- Montenegrin t>oundaries. When in October, 190S, Austria- Hungary tore up the Berlin treaty and definitely annexed Bosnia-Herzegovina she withdrew her troops from the san jak, fearing armed resistance and wishing to placate Turkey. There was no war—then. Russia had not recover ed from her bout with Japan. The Austrian "forward"' party was disgusted. Von Aehrenthal was almost in disgrace for overcautionsness. It had not been necessary to leave the sanjak. However, they could reoccupy it some time. "Some time" did not pome. With the Tripoli and Balkan wars Europe be came increasingly sensitive. When the Balkan nations were fighting and it would have been easy to seize the strip Austria was forced by Europe to fore go land grabbing in the general in terest, to prevent exactly what has happened now. The murder of the archduke gave her an opportunity. He went to Sarajevo against the protests and entreaties of Servian representatives in Vienna, who know the local feeling and who had most to lose by any disturbance, and the actual murderer was an Austrian subject. However, neither these facts nor the way in which Servia offered to swallow the Austrian terms—all but allo-wing Austrian officers to hold in quiries into the murder on Servian soil —availed to stop the Austrian attack aimed straight at the sanjak. And then followed what has follow ed.—New York World. , SHOES SPOIL OUR FEET That Is Why So Few Persons Have Perfect Pedal Extremities A person with normal feet is very difficult to find. In fact, the do:tprs inform us that foot trouble is endemic in the United States, as well as in ev ery enlightened country on the :*lob >. The cause of this condition and lh-3 vast suffering which it entails is the unhy gienic shoe. A thousand Porto Ricans whose feet had never been shod were examined. Not a single diseased or deformed fcot was found among them. A San Fran cisco surgeon, in commenting on this fact, declares that among a thousand shie-wearing Americans there ; s hardly one with normal feet. Tbt trouble is that the vast major ity of our shoes are improperly con structed. The fashionable shoe veins Ibuilt to force the foot into sha.ies which, however slightly, are neverthe less abnormal. That- worn by the masses is equally inimical to foot health, for the reason that it is con structed with very little reference to the lines of the foot and without ff fort to adjust it to the normal move ments of that member. The medical man presents the mocca sin as the most wholesome foot covering yet devised, but very few are sanguine enough to hope that fafhion will per mit its general use. Next to the moc casin, so we are told, is the shoe that not only permits the foot to perform its normal functions unimpeded, but strengthens it when in use. This is the shoe that, instead of pinching the foot or forcing it into abnormal shapes or positions, actually fits it, —Bojton (Herald.
