BELGRADE, Oct S.-The clamor
for war with Austria-Hungary because
of the occupation OF Bosnia and Here
govnia is growing here constantly, and
scenes of wild enthusiasm are being
witnessed on the streets of Belgrade,
This morning a mob of demonstrators
forced its way into the precincts Of
the palace and demanded to see King
Peter. The attitude of the crowd was
so threatening that troops and gend-
armes finally had to be called out.
They surrounded the palace and had
tor be charged several times before
the fevered patriots would dispense.
The patriots are very much dissatis-
fed with the tone of the protest OF
Servia against the occupation of Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina. They declare
it lacks vigor and does not represent
the feelings of the Nation, which
would rather go to war than acquiesce
in this act Of Austria Hungary. Thexe
is steady flow OF kilograms from the
interior assuring the Government Of
support in the shape of money, men
and arms in the event Of hostilities.
The Servian Government in its
proclamation by Austria-Hungary of
Bosnia and Herzegovina expresses
the hope that the powers win respond
to the appeal addressed to them for
protection and justice. This new and
fragrant violation Of the Berlin
treaty" the proclamation declares,
force majeur to satisfy selfish inter
ests and without regard to the griev-
Gus blow thus dealt to the feelings,
and rights Of the Servian
people.
"Servia con not in this present case
obtain full satisfaction other than by
the complete restoration of the sit
uation with regard too Bosnia and
as established by the
treaty of Berlin. If this solution is
regarded as absolutely impossible the
servian Government, appealing to the
sense of equity of the powers, de-
hands corresponding compensation
or Servia. The guarantee indis-
to her existence as an indie
PENDENT state must be maintained, 4
md the general condition of existence
ssured Servia by the treaty of Berlin !
must, at least in measure, be re-
tored."
Continuing the proclamation points !
ut that the rights accorded Servia .
nder this treaty are incomparably n
Inferior to the sacrifices imposed upon :
er. Servia has scrupulously observed a
he terms of the treaty. No modifica- h
ons to the advantage of Servia have \
cen made, whereas there have been +,
number of notifications to the ad- II
antage of other powers. q
