I914 WAS A VERY
DISASTROUS YEAR
1914 Charged With
Liege Burning of Louvain Germans Surprise World
by Work of Their Submarines and Big Guns.
By JAMES SCHREIBER.
VERYTHING else that baa hap
E
pened abroad duriiig the year
Is completely overshadowed by
tbe disastrous war which bus
overtaken Europe. Since tbat uiemor-
nble day, July 23, 1014, wben Austria
made ber demands upon Servla for
reparation for tbe assassination of tbe
Arcbduke Francis Ferdinand and bis
wife and for ber anti-Austrian agita
tion, to wbicb demands Servla con
sented with but one exception, tbe
world bas been kept on edge by one
big shock after tbe other. After Ser
via's reply proved unsatisfactory to
Austria and Germany declared ber in
tentlon of supporting Austria, when
Kussluu diplomacy Interfered. Austria
on trie a8tb of July declared war on
tier little ueigbbor -Then followed Em
peror William's demands on Itussia to
ease mobilizing, pnii'lnluilng martini
law throughout the German empire
On Aug. 1 Germany . declared war
on Russia, and France ordered mohlll
zotion.
Then followed tbe terrible period of.
suspense which was to show tbe way
the other powers would act. Europe
bad been divided into groups for tbe
purpose of maintaining tbe balance of
power Germany. Austria and Italy
formed tbe triple alliance on one side,
while Russia. France and England
were pledged In a triple entente on tbe
other.
Italy Backs Out.
But Italy soon showed ber disincline
tloo to be brought into tbe tight and
announced tbat tbe alliance called for
defense entirely France and Russia
were as rightly Douncr as Germany ana
Austria, but England bad more free
dom of choice. She hesitated only Ave
days and then declared war on Ger
many, announcing it to be In protec
tion of Belgium's neutrality, wmcn
had been invaded after permission to
German troops to cross through Bel
gium Into France had been refused.
About this time began tbat now dis
toric attack ou Liege, which withstood
the German hosts so bravely until the
giant 42 centimeter guns were used.
Montenegro allied herself with Ser
via. and Japan declared war against
Germany and Austria and set out to
capture Tsingti. the German port in
China. (This was accomplished by Nov

any resistance on ber way toward
Paris, and the Belgian government fled
to Antwerp
After this came the terrible, never t

fi.nnans. In fact that the allied r
mlee were unable to roastef their forces
in sutncleot strength to uf ike any ap
preciable .tend against I tbem. The
hastily organtaed British force, which
bad landed at Havre, r ranee. lonna it
necessary to retreat and Von Kluck's
army entered upon French territory
where It was met by tbe crown prince's
detachment Which bad entered through
the duchy of Luxemburg, another neu
tral state, capturing tbe French fort!

strength crept forward until a montl
after the war was declared It wit
almost at tbe gate, of Parts. Tbe city.
Greatest-War in History Defense of
bustling Willi life and activity, wai
thrown Into a turmoil. Bordeaux be
came tbe capital.
Suddenly the Germans wavered, and
then began the retreat, and for about
twelve days they showed their heels
to tbe enemy. The scattered forces
again; collected for battle when the
river Alsne was reached, and from
then the now famous method of war
ring from deep trenches began. Tbe
bombardment of the beautiful Gothic
cathedral In Rheims by German guns
evoked a protest from every quarter of
the globe when the Germans set about
to capture that city.
Zeppelin Attack on Antwerp.
Surprised us tbe Belgians were bj
the giant German siege gnus, thej
were us greatly astounded by the early
morning attack iiicin Antwerp by a
Zeppelin airship, hoinbs from wbicb
destroyed houses and killed citizens
But this proved to lie only preliinlnurj
to the part Antwerp was to play in the
war. as the later linmliardmeut of and
capture of that city showed. Tbe Bel
glun government shifted to Osreutl
from which Kins Albert aud his ad
visers went to Havre. France, whicn
then became the temporary capital.
With tbe fall of Antwerp tbe Ger
man desire to coutrol the coast line ot
Belgium and northern France became
evident, it being conceded that they
needed command of the coast before
tbey could commence nn Invasion ot
Englond with airships and troops.
Tbe fear of this Invasion kept London
on edge almost from the time war wut
declared.
Tbe Russians ou tbe German ail I
Austrian frontier advanced with mor.'
rapidity than was thought possible for
their army Galicia, the Polish prov
ince of Austria, fell to tbe czar's men
Austria's defeat being almost decisive
Germany sent her troops Into Russian
territory, but soon retreated toward
borne ground, and Russian troops push
ed Into eastern Prussia. But tbey In
turn had to fiee before German re-en
forcements. Tbe Russians once mor
organized and pressed hack the Ger
mans to their own couutry. Then cam
the memorable second march ot the
Germans toward Warsa w. In the mean
time the Austrians bad captured Bel
grade, the Servian capital, but were
later compelled to evacuate tbe city.
Tbe entrance of the Turkish govern
ment into the war after having sup
posedly bought the German cruisers
Goeben and Breslau created indigna
tion among Christians, as soon after
Turkey', attack on Russian sbtpptug
and town, on the Black sea she de
clared a holy war.
Submarine Surprise.
On tbe sea the biggest surprise of the
war was tbe work of lis submarine.
When the world was apprised t me
Inking of the British cruiser. Cresay

U-9. nearly all on board drowning. It
stood aghast at tbe possibilities of the
little craft Great Britain also lost tbe
cruiser Hawke In a like manner, while
the blowing up of the Dreadnought
Audacious off tbe Irish coast was due.
it is thought to a mine. Tbe British
.hip Bulwark came In contact with a
mine near the month of the Thame,
not far from London.
A fleet of British warship, under
command of Admiral Cradock met tbe
assembled German sblpa off the coast
of Chile and gave battle. The British
were defeated, losing two snips, wltb
their men. Including the admiral The
German .-.ii.T.Meil little damage. To
avenge this Kngiaud sent out a strong
fleet, which sank four of the German
vessels, with nearly 2.000 men, on tbe
south Atlantic const of South America.
A short time liefore this battle tbe
German cruiser Emden. under Cap.
tain von Muller, was destroyed by an
Australian cruiser, thereby freeing the
Indian ocean of what had proved to be
a most disastrous enemy to tbe allies'
shipping.
Everything else in Euroie was side
tracked Immediately upon tbe opening
of hostilities. Even the Irish home
rule trouble lost it momentum, wbicb
otherwise might have plunged the
Catholics and Protestants of Ireland
into a great war. After a third pas
sage of the home rule bill by tbe bousu
of commons It became :i law May 25.
Pius X. Died, New Pope Elected.
Closely allied with eveuts in Europe
since war began was tbe death ot
Pope Pius X. on Aug. 20. Although be
bad been feeble, bis death was not ex
pected by the world. Ten days Inter
tbe cardinals met to elect a new pope,
choosing from their ranks Cardinal
Giacomo Delia t'hiesa on Sept 8. Two
days Inter be was crowned in Rome as
Benedict XV.
Tbe killing of Editor Gaston Cal
mette of the Paris Figaro by Mme.
Caillaux. wife of the French minister
of finance on March 16 threatened to
be as sensational as tbe Captain Drey
fus affair, but after a remarkable trial
she was acquitted by the Jury.
On the western hemisphere the Mex
ican affair has created tbe most un
usual news features of tbe year, but
its doings have become so closely as
sociated with ours In recent years that
it cannot be classed as news of the
year abroad. The revolutionary out
break In Lima, Pern, Is noteworthy.
This resulted In the killing of Premier
Varels and the deposition of President
Billineburst. Moratoriums were' de
clared In several of tbe South Amert
ran republics because of the; European
war. and tbe Imports and exports ot
all tbe republics were affected. Inas
much as tbey relied greatly on Euro
pean trade.
Deatb bas taken Its share of not
ables abroad this year. Most prom!
nent of all tbe deaths, exclusive of tbe
pope and the Austrian Imperial pair
was that of Lord Roberts, the famous
English fighter, wbo died while visit
ing tbe soldiers In France. Lord
Strathcona. Canadian capitalist and
statesman; Jean L. Jaures, French So
cialist leader (who was assassinated)
Joseph Chamberlain, English states
man, and King Charles of Ronmania
were among those wbo passed away.
Excellent for Stomach Trouble.
"Chamberlain's Tablets are just fine
for stomach trouble," writes Mrs.
C. Dunn. Arnold. Pa. "I was both
ered with this complaint for some
time and frequently had bilious at
tacks. Chamberlain's Tablets af
forded me crest relief from the first,
and since taking one bottle of them
I feel like a different person." for

How can you live longer?
Tbe Association of Life Insur
ance Presidents, which tsas in
vestlgated 2,000.000 case., tells
yon tbat
Consistent users of alcoholic
drink, die six years younger
tban tbey should.
One time consistent drinkers,
wbo "reformed" before they took
out life Insurance poUe'ea, die
four year, younger than tbey
should.
Railway engineers die Ave

Fat men those carrying forty
pounds or more excess flesh die

Social disease, cut down a life
time six years.
Overeating and undereating,
along with lack of knowledge of
tbe simpler diseases, also are
given as factor. Jin shortening

An amazing record of the extent to
which alcoholic beverages shorten the
lives of both users and sellers was pre
sented at tbe eighth annual meeting
of tbe Association Of Life Insurance
Presidents, In session at the Hotel As
tor, New Tork, by Arthur Hunter,
chairman of the central bureau, medico-actuarial
mortality Investigation.
To support his conclusions be bas
Infallible figures, bawd upon tbe cases
of 2,000.000 men and-women, insured
during tbe past twenty -five years wltb
forty-three leading American and Ca
nadian life Insurance companies.
"It Is a general Impression," Mr.
Hunter said, "tbat saloon keeper do
not live as long a. person, in non
hazardous occupations, but It is not
generally known that most classes con
nected wltb the sale or manufacture
of liquor have a high mortality. Saloon
keepers, along with hotel proprietors
wbo attend tbe bar either occasionally
or regularly, have an extra mortality
of 70 per cent tbat lav their lifetimes
are reduced about six years on tbe av
erage on account of their occupation.
"Reformed" Drinkers Gain.
Mr. Hunter pointed out that the mor
tality of men wbo had at one time
used Intoxicants, bnt 1 who bad "re
formed" prior to taking out Insurance
policies was SO per cent or a reduction
of over four years on the normal life.
gain of 20 per cent over tbe saloon
and hotel proprietor class.
The men who use alcoholic, dally.
but not to excess, Mr. Hunter divided
into two groups:
(A) Those wbo take two glasses of
beer or one glass of whisky a day.
(Bi Those wbo take more than that
but are not "excessive" drinkers.
Tbe expert's Investigation disclosed
that tbe mortality In the second group
waa 50 per cent higher than In the
first
A significant result of the Investiga
tion." continued be. "was the high
mortality ot railroad knen. Among

"Overweight bas a mirked effect In

about four years lees tban the life of
tbe man of normal weight"
A mortality of W per cent or a re
duction ot six year, of life, was ob
served to exist among tbe "risks" suf
fering from tbe social disease.
Mr. Hunter pointed to tbe tremend
ous loss of life due to tuberculosis.
But a well nourished man. taking
reasonable precautions against con
tagion, has little o fenr from this dis
ease, he declared.
If Russia carries out Its Intention ot
abolishing all alcoholic beverages from
Its borders, Mr. Hunter' maintained.
