LONDON, June PA Vienna dispatch to
the Tunes says; "As Prince Milan has not
been positively forbidden 10 operate as he
pleased on his own account, the possibility
is OF course by no means excluded that he
may may enter the fray; IL Is certain that the
Plojesti, have done all in their power 10 urge
him to do SO. A renewal OF hoStilities be-
tween Turkey and Servia would not have
the same significance as the transfer of the
RusSo-Turkish war into Servia, and If il
were, as last year, waged far away from the
Austrian frontier, Austria would probably
not interfere"
