not consent to Servia's uprising terri
tory upon the Adriatic, but this is be-
lieved here to be merely the opening
of negotiations and not final. 1t is
known that representatives of Servla
are attempting to have other govern
ments, notably France, interpose in
her behalf
important Question.
The important question now raised
whether or not any one of the Balkan
states will make treaty without the
other members of the federation be-
ing signatories to it.
One way out of the diplomatic i'm
broglio involving Servia and Austria
according to officials, lies in Austria
peacefully bringing Servia into her
sphere of influence" However under
circumstances the articles of the Bal
kan federation probably would lead
Austria to accept all the Balkan states
and Greece as her allies and to this
Russia would strenuously object. 1t is
Austria's traditional diplomatic policy
to seek an outlet on the AEGEAN sea
and with Servia extended across her
southern path to the Adriatic this
would be impossible. Austria com
plains that Servia is attempting to cut
off her trade expansion southwark but
to this Servia has replied that the
railroads extending through territory
that she proposes annexing will be
kept open for the trade of all coun-
tries equally.
An optimistic note came from Ber-
lin According to belief in German
official circles the great German mill
tary pail will initiate for peace. The
German government is convinced, so
says this report, that the terrible
power" of it's army is widely realiz-
ed force.

IF THIS DREAM
SHOULD COME TRUE

The dream of the Richmond mer-
chants about cluster lights on Main
street probably will be realized with
in year, according to President Ken
nepohl of the board of works. The
proposition of enlarging the municipal
light plant will not be taken up this
year, according to Mr.. Kennepohl,
who said that when the plant was re-
modelled the present quarters would
probably be doubled and the efficien-
cy of the plant increased to such an
extent that cluster lights may be in
stalled.
