THE BALKANS SITUATION.
German Foreign 0nicc Has No Ora ApprehensfOns.

German Foreign 0fiicc Has No Grave
 Apprehen nsiOns.
 Berlin, Feb. 20-The German au- thorities do not share the grave ap- prehenstons regarding the situation be- tween enaAustria-Hungary and Servia that have been reported recently as exist ing in St. Petersburg and London.
 On the contrary. the feeling in the German Foreign once has grown more confident in the past few days that Servia will submit to the inevitable, realizing the impossibility of securing any territorial indemnification from Austria Hungary for the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Furthermore the Foreign Ofice totally discredits the assertion that Austria Hungary is about to invade SenVia,
 The German view is that the situa- ton in the Balkans is improving rath- CD than growing worse. The settle ment of the controversy with Turkey will remove all the obstacles i'm the way of the, recognition of Ferdinand as Emperor. Ferdinand already Is as- sured of a reception with royal honors upon his arrival in St. Petersburg for the funeral of the late Grand Duke Vladimir and the other powers will follow the example of Russia as soon as Turkey is satisfied.
