of the situation. The resolution of the
Servlan national assembly, passed Thu
morning, which amounts practically to
a vote of confidence in the yernme
has taken the matter of Servia's atti-
tude towards Austria Hungary out of
the hands that easily swayed the body

bers. The cabinet is aware of the
actual condition of affairs and doubt
less will heed the warnings of the
powers and take no rash steps. The
powers can, therefore, continue their
negotiations in the matter of an inter

Balkan states.
The majority OF the powers continue
to favor a conference and are opposed
to Great Britain's suggestion that the
matter could be more quickly settled by
an exchange of notes n possibly a
meeting of ambassadors at CONSTANT
