MORE RUMORS OF WAR
PESSIlfTSM IN RUSSIA.
Il Balkan Conflict Expected by the
DOuna's Leaders.

St Petersburg, Feb. 24.-The pessimism re-
garding the Balkan crisis is steadily deepening
IN diplomatic circles. where it is believed that
Austrian action against Servia may be expected
within fortnight, unless solution of the pres
e-t grave problem is soon arranged. Foreign
Office officials say that Russia is not disposed
to consider an invasion of servia alone as a
casus belli, but there is fear that the govern
ment's hand may be forced under such circum-
stances by popular feeling. The beginning Of
hostilhies would throw thousands OF Russian
volunteers into the Servian ranks
The Douma leaders. who visited the Foreign
Office to-day, expressed themselves as convinced
that war was inevitable Information received
from Kieff to-day indicates that military
measures have yet been undertaken on the
southwestern frontier. but all applications of
officers for leave of absence have been refused.
and the Kieff department is ready for instant
mobilization.
The Foreign Office is noncommittal concern
ing the intfmation conveyed in inspired dis
patches from Berlin that further support Of the
pretensions Of Servia will involve Russia in
dangerous complications with Germany and
Austria Hungary. Officials to-day declined to
say whether O. not Russia would modify her
policy under this pressure. They did, however.
profess confidence in the desire of Germany to
maintain peace and facilitate a settlement of
this threatening question.
The "Hcovoe Vremya" publishes to-day a re-
Fly to what It describes as Austrian and Ger
man threats" saying:
We and our ancestors more than once nave
had foreign cOnqueTors our soil, and the
bones of several hundred thousand remain as
the only evidence OF their rash attempts TO as
sail the integrity of Russian territory We DO
not want war with any one. but We do not fear
var and We will not be intimidated by empty
phrases. If Austria Hungary and Germany at
tackled Russia they would not have 10 deal with
her alone
Exchange fell and all government securities
and industrials were weak the market to-day
On account of the Austro- Servian situation The
new loan dropped one point to 81, and Russian
as and Russian IS dropped Is each TO 7612 and
81, respectively.
New-York tribune., 1909-02-25
BERLIN STILL HOPEFUL
RusSia's attitude Regarded as Key
to Situation.

Berlin, Feb. 2-There is reason to believe that
an outbreak Of war between Austria and Servia is
Imminent according TO the view held in the most
authoritative and sern-oficial circles The alarm
ing reports regarded being much exag-
serated. II is admitted however. that the situa-
tIon is not clear and viii remain clouded until
those powers which. like France. striving to
maintain peace, induce Russia 20 inform Belgrade
that IN case Of war Servia cannot rely on either
direct or indirect Russian support.
Whether Russia and the other powers VIII use
their influence in peaceful support Of Servia, it is
believed. depends great extent on their success
in bringing the Serv1ans to calm attitude appro-
pirate 10 the circumstances. It is not considered
likely that Great Britain and Italy would object to
intervene ct Belgrade in conjunction with France
in order TO preserve peace. The real key to the
situation is. for the moment, Russia, whose de-
cision is eagerly awaited
The '-Suddeutsche neutrality-suspicious. which
IS considered Chancellor Biilow's organ, says:
The Oriental situation is momentarily controlled
