LONDON, Dec. 10.-Official quar-

significance attaches TO the military
changes, but these assurances fail TO
allay the uneasiness aroused by the fact
that the powerful military party in
Servia may force the hands of the gov

General Won Hoetzendorf. the new
Austrian chief of staff, is credited with
being the sworn enomy of Scrvia and
to have been for long time possessed
of the conviction that nothing but the
sword can settle the differences be.
tween Austria and Servis.
Further proof has reached London
that Austria Hnngard is mobilizing.
Many Austrian and Hungarian resi-
dents of London, including Count
George Apponyi and the noted artist,
Philip Lassle, have been called TO the
colors.
According TO one report, Austria in
tends to demand a diminution in the
present strength Of the Servian army
a demand to which Servia, in her pres
ent temper, is not likely to agree.
