SerVians Are Loud In Their
 Demand for War
PETERS THRONE IS SHKYA
Situation Is Critical In Servia, But Austria Is Not Alarmed, While Turkey Has Retired to
 the Background.

Vienna October S.-War between Aus tria- Hungary and servia is a recognized possibility. although it is believed here that it will be averted. King Peter is in a difficult position on account of tho elamor of the Servians for war. partieu- larly since his tenure on the throne never has been very safe.
 The Austrians on their part have new feeling of national enterprise on account of the forward movement in the annexa- ton of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and would be more ready for further adveu- ture now than they were a week ago. That the government recognizes the pos sibiity the military precautions in Hun gary show. All the bridges over the Save and the Danube near the Servian iron tier, are strongly guarded by patriots. and four Danube river monitors were concentrated at Budapest today. The government explains that this maneuver was planned some time ago, but the Aus trans would have Belgrade at the mercy of their guns if that were necessary. The newspapers contain warnings to Seryia. The Wiener Tagblatt says:
 "The next few days or hours will show whether official Servia joins in this game of bluff If 1t wishes to make a declara- ton of bankruptcy that soon be managed. The people of Belgrade must not forget that when once the mischief has begun there can be no pardon Die Zeit says:
 ''Servia seeris to be drifting into an adventure under the illusion that it can not lose anything. It cannot be warned too strongly against that error. Servia under certain circumstances. lost it's in- dependence.

JOHN MITCHELL MAKES
 STRONG PLEA FOR BRYAN

Washington, October S.-(Special.)- When John Mitchell, the labor leader, was in Washington a few days ago he evaded any comment of politics, and this gave rise to the belief that he was taking no part with MT.

People shoutino for War.

Belgrade. october S.-Great crowds again surrounded the palace tonight shouting for war and calling for the King to appear. Finally King Peter, accompanied by the Grown Prince, came to the balcony and implored the people not to cause disturbance. lie said:
 Trust me and my government; both will do their duty"
 The crowd cheered the King, but continued to shout War with Aus tria."
 The report of the resignation of the ministers was premature. but the rad icals are trying to bring this about charging them with inactivity in the present critical situation, and 1t Is feared that cabinet crisis may be forced
 The government has stopped issuing passports for foreign travel to those eligible for military service.
 All of the Belgrade newspapers threaten King Peter with the loss of his throne unless he takes up the sword The Prayda eXhorts him, saX- ing:
 "Oh King. rescue Bosnia woe to you and yours if Bosnia is not rescued
 fhe Poitica says;
 We can depend upon one million men in all of Servia, all of Montenegro and all of Bosnia
 The statement is made in the news papers that the reigning prince of Montenegro has sent a message to King Peter in which he is quoted as saying:
 When the Servian army marches to the banks of the Drina, my army will advance against Herzegovina"
 Wealthy merchants are offering the King money for the needs of war and ladies are contributing their jewels. The president of the national assembly made speech to crowd today, say ing:

business and honest wealth gould have nothing to fear in such an event.
 "The platform on which MT. Bryan stands fully recognizes the lights of or ganized labor and gives specific assur- ances of legislation that will protect the rights and liberty of organized labor. The platform on which MT. Taft stands gives no such recognition and no such assur- ances The issue, therefore, Is clearly drawn, and that is the reason MT. Gom- pers and the executive council of the American Federation of Labor advised trades unionsts to vote for Bryan
 'The predatory rich, who are so zeal ous in their advocacy of MT. Taft, clearly indicate where the rest of the people should stand in the fight.

Outlook Is Brighter.

Paris October 9.-The frank explanation of M Iswolsky, the Russian foreign min ister, to the French government, is large ly responsible for the brighter outlook for an international conference with re- gard to the situation in the Balkans. The fact that M. Iswolsky had not promptly communicated to France and Great Brit ain what he had learned about the forth coming Balkans changes at his recent in- terviews with Baron von Aehrenthal, the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, and Signor 'rittoni, the Italian foreign minis ter. created more than an unfavorable impression in Paris and London. The Rus sian foreign minister, however. has now succeeded in dispatching whatever sus- picion existed, and the conviction is gen eral here that Great Britain. France and Russia can agree on programme for conference, apa win henceforth march shoulder to shoulder A prominent dip- lomat said tonight;
 Although some details are still ob- scure the inside history of the Balkan coup will make one of the strangest chap ters In international annals. There is evidence of a plot to upset all the old international combinations. Germany has abandoned her old friend Turkey; Fran cis Joseph had deceived his old friend. King Edward Italy bartered with Aus tria the irreconcilable enemy of the Bal kans and Iswolsky as a dupe or ac- complice, almost fell into the snare. Great Britain. except for the entente with France. suddenly found herself isolated when she thought she had Germany sur rendered. But Great Britain now comes nearer to turning the tables. By cham pioning Turkeys cause she has earned the eternal gratitude of the regime with which she could displace German innu- ence. If Russia wavcred she is again back in line. and Italy despite rittoni's pro-Austrian proclivities is likely to join hands. The situation. therefore is rap idly resolving itself into the old duel be- tween Great Britain and Germany,"<

COLONEL STEWART IS

and Major Edie regarding their report as to the medical experts of the board on the condition of Colonel Stewards health. Both stated that Colonel Stewart is af- f1icted with heart disease to such an ex- tent that any over-exerton might result disastrously to him. The fact was brought out that MT. Stewart has been victim of heart disease for the past 35 years, and reference was made to document on file in the war department showing that as early as 1877 he had requested to be ex- cused from participation in an Indian expedition because of an affection of the heart and rheumatism. Both surgeons said that so long as Colonel Stewards S present condition continued he would be fairly comfortable, but much would de- pend upon the exertion he might be sub jected to.
 MT. Latimer asked permission to show by the records that during the past 20 years the colonel had been almost con tinuously on duty. Recorder Rowland made the point that no showing of the kind contemplated could have any bear ing upon the patients present condition of health, and the board sustained the ob- jectiOn. q

 Natural Transportation.
 Water transportation is the natural transportation God made the rivers; man made the railroads. The rivers were the means before the railroads were invented and while the railroad has given us speed it has not given us the cheapness that the river gives. And speed is not the only thing. The railroad cannot rival the water course in cheapness and then there is another advantage that the wa ter course has. When you finish river sufficiently deep for commerce or canal upon which boats can float, you make 1t possible for man with small capital to act, while the railroads make it pos sible for men with large capital to act. Where there Is a river any man who can build a boat can engage in transporta- tion, and if he cannot build big boat he can build a little boat and If you have a large number of little boats the big boat will have to meet the rate that the little boat fixes You will lind It much easier to regulate rates on water than on land because competition can be much more active on water than on land.

 ''rhe time has come when the land available for homesteads Is being well taken up, and when these lands are occu- pied. then instead of sending people into rev fields to lay out new states We must beein 10 take smaller sections and de- yelop the land more thoroughly and with that will come a pressing need for better transportation.

Washington, October S.-For almost four hours today Col. w. F. Stewart of the army struggled. but in vain, with the re- tirng board before which he has been or dered to obtain permission to summon witnesses to prove that he is not incapaci- tated for army service, and that, there fore. he should not be arbitrarily retired. Aftef the verbal testimony of Col w. H. Arthur and Maj. Guy l.. Edie of the medical corps, and who are members of the retiring board, Colonel Stewart pre- ferred his request for the summoning of other witnesses He gave the names of 13 witnesses whom he desired to have called, and when he failed to obtain the boards permission his attorney an- nounced that the colonel himself would take the stand in support of his plea that he is capable of performing the duties of a colonel in the coast artil- lery.
 When the board convened, J. W. Lati- mer, counsel for Colonel Stewart, pro- ceeded to cross-question Colonel Arthur
