WAR is Feared
BY The POWERS
BALKAN SITUATION STIRRED UP
AGAIN; RUSSIA is LIKELY
TO BE INVOLVED.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 26.-The pessi-
ton is growing in diplomatic circles,
where it is believed that Austrian ac-
ton against Servia may be expected
within a fortnight unless a solution to
the present grave problem is soon ar
ranged.
Foreign Office officials state that
Russia is not disposed to consider an
invasion of Servia alone as a casus
belli, but there is fear that the gov
ernment's hand may be forced under
such circumstances by popular feel
ing. The beginning Of hostilities would
throw thousands of Russian volun-
teers into the Servian ranks.
Believe War Inevitable.
The Douma leaders, who visited the
foreign office yesterday, expressed
themselves as convinced that war is
inevitable.
Information received from Kiev yes
terday indicates that no military
measures have yet been undertaken
on the southwestern frontier, but all
applications of officers for leave of
dDSSlCS nave DeCIl lcluSSu illu tilC
Kiev department is ready for instant
mobilization.
The foreign Office is noncommittal
concerning the intimation conveyed III
inspired dispatches from Berlin to the
effect that further support of the pre-
tensions Of Servia'will involve Russia
in dangerous complications with Ger
many and Austro-Hungary. Officials
declined to say whether or not Russit
would modify her policy under pres
/ sure.
Replies to "Threats."
The Novoe Vremya publishes ;
spirited reply to what it describes a!
Austrian and German threats" Thu
paper says:
1--WE and our ancestors have more
than once had foreign conquerors OF
our soil, and the bones of several hun
dred thousand remain as the sole evi
dence of their rash attempts to assai
the integrity Of Russian territory. W.
do not want war with anyone, but WI
do not fear war, and we will not b.
inundated by empty phrases. If Aus

Russia they would not have to dea
