FRESH
OUTBREAK
REPORTED

Belgrade, Dec. s.-The mobilization
of Austrian troops on the Servian
frontier and the provocative language
of the Viennese newspapers have led
to the recrudescence of the excitement
and enlightenment of feeling in Servia.
The Pravada, voicing the prevailing
irritation says: IF Austria declares
war with Servia it will come. 1t will
be the most bitter fight in history.
Every Servian mar and woman, young
or old, will take part and Austria will
have to exterminate the entire Servian
nation before conquering it."
Many Servians visiting Austro-
Hungarian towns on business have
been arrested on the charge of spying.
The Servian government has protest

The executive committee of the
Fargo Commercial club held a meeting
at noon today with a good attendance,
with President Page in the chair.
Among other important business
transacted that was taken up was the
question of the appointment of a com
mitteeman from Fargo Commercial
club to act with others to be appoint
ed by the Grand Forks club to secure
data for presentation to the United
States engineer who will look owe
matters in regard to continuing the
Red river as a navigatable stream, a
meeting having been held in Grand
Forks Dec. 5 at which the question
was considered before a representative
of the government, and Fargo has
since been invited to appoint a dele
gate. 1t will be the business of this
committee to get facts from the resi-
dents along the river, and get these in
shape for sending to Washington. 1t
is hoped that the government will by
a system of locks and otherwise make
the Red really a n~avigable stream.
After the matter was called UP 1t
appeared to be the consensus of opin-
ion thai the river should be continued
as a navigable stream. George II.
Hollister was named the committee.
1t is stated that a meeting will be CALI
ed at the Forke as soon as the data
is ready.

in general will all turn ou on this oc-
casion. Tt was shown that the 81 per

1 that the Fargo Commercial club will
pay for the smoker in the evening. 1t
was also stated that Dilworth Is going
to a great deal of trouble in prepar-
ing for the visitors and 1t Is hoped by
