dispatch from Prague. Bohemia,
says that the reservists of five
German army corps, numbering $780,
900 men, have been ordered to rejoin
their regiments according to the
Coski Slovo.
Optimism felt in Berlin Regarding
the Austro- Russo Servian situation
today is not reflected here,
Rumors of the mobilizing of the
Russian and Austrian armies caused
an easy opening in Stock Exchange
today. Later most departments de-
veloped weakness on continental SELL
ing, and the whole market, from
consols to Kaffirs, declined moderately
and closed with an uncertain tone.
Despite the quantity of peace talk
that is being handed out by the en-
tourage of the Austrian Emperor
Francis Joseph at Budapest and Pre-
mier Asquith's speech at Nottingham
s last night, in which he declared that
the utmost friendliness still existed
among the powers, it is felt that the
situation is daily becoming worse.
Rapid preparations for war are being
made.
Austria Mobilizes.
While ridiculing the idea that the
peace of Europe will be broken, Aus
tria has mobilized her First, Ninth
and Eleventh army corps. and has
called DIP three classes of reservists
for three other army corps, summon
ing back the men who have emigrated
both to this country and America.
She has already gathered 100000 men
upon the Servian frontier and Rus
sian frontier
Nothing has developed within the
last twelve hours to show whether
the Turks will find the proposed mod
ifications in terms offered by the al
lied Balkan nations sufficient to in
duce them to agree ito an armistice
as preparatory to a definite peace.
The plenipotentiaries now on their
way to Tchatalja on behalf OF the
Allies are reported to be carrying
with them fresh terms of peace in
form that may open the door which
is still regarded as standing ajar for
their reception.
The Ottoman government points
out that it still has half million
soldiers to draw from while the Bull
Earians have nome The allied Bal
kan nations, however retort that
they are now in a position to march
150,000 troops which have heretofore
been engaged elsewhere to swell the
besieging force in front of the Turk
ish line at Tchatalja.
should the war continue it is as
sumed in military circles that an at
tack will soon be opened on the forts
along the Dardanelles, whose fall
would permit the Greek feet to bonn
bard the Turkish capital
War Rumors Continue.
In the meantime a tracking
stream of rumors continues to pour
out from Vienna of the mobilization
of Austrian and Russian troops, and
to these rumors is added the one
from Prague which, says five German
army corps have called up their re-
servists. These rumors accord badly
with Premier Asquith's statement
last night as to the prevailing har-
mony among the European powers.
Official denials quickly follow each
story of the calling up of reservists
by the various armies, but the denials
fail to dissipate the general anxiety
as to the situation.
Turkish troops landed last night at
the port of Silivri on the Sea of Mar
mora under fire from the Turkish
war vessels, according to a news
agency dispatch from Constantinople.
The right wing of the Bulgarian
army in front of the Tchatalja lines
is thus threatened.
The Bulgarian troops made a des-
perate attempt to drive back the
Turks, butN after an hours fighting
were forced to retire.
1T is reported that the
Don Cossacks have been modified
and that the Russian authorities are
holding all available rolling stock
on the lines running to the Austrian
frontier" says a dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Vienna Five
large bridges spanning the Danube
here have been closely watched since
yesterday The sentries have been
pering with the bridges. On the
whole safety depends on the railway
communications with the northern
part of the empire.
During the last fortnight all the
troops that could conveniently be
spared have been drafted toward the
Bosnian and Russian frontiers. and
the possibility of the southern Slavs
proving unreliable in war against
Russia or Servia has been guarded
against by a careful redistribution
of the troops
According to my information
Austria is counting on ~Roumanian
support in the event of a war with
Russia, which is rumored to be mass
ing troops on the line facing Pome-
rania. The Germans are said to be
sending forces into Pomerania."
