DANGER OF NEW BALKAN
CONFLICT Is AVERTED
Austria, Having Lost Strategic
Domination, Holds On to
Economic Supremacy.
nv Gable 10 The Tribune.

Paris. Oct. 1S.-Alsrming reports
from degrade about Austria's abrupt
demands for immediate withdrawal OF
servian troops from Albania and the
nagging, pin-prick policy Of Viennese
diplomacy toward Servia are already
discounted by trustworthy official in
formation received in Paris, according

tween Austria and Servia II longer cX-

The true situation is this. Austria
having lost her strategic domination IN

Egean Sea, still hangs on 10 her e'o-
nomic supremacy Of railroad lines in
the Balkans and 10 her commercial ana

FRANCE TO FOLLOW u. S.
Will Take Her Cue from Amer.
lea in Mexican Affair.
tBy Cable to The Tribune.

Paris, Oct. Interpretations concern
ing the eventual invitation by Presl-
dent Wilson for the European powers
to cooperate with the United states IN
the settlement Of Mexican affairs have
not as yet taken any formal defipite
shape. but the discussion brings out
the keen interest felt in the matter
here.
The Tribune editorial on the subject
is reproduced in the Paris newspapers
to-day and is regarded in the highest
French diplomatic circles as the most
satisfactory view yet expressed on the
situation.
France. in case Of any cooperative
measures, would gladly take her cue
from the United States in the settle
ment Of the Mexican matter, as The
Tribune editorial suggests, and would
most certainly abstain from any desire
to participate in the solution OF what
the French government considers Il
purely American problem.
French interests in Mexico are ex-
clusively financial, being confined to
capital invested in Mexican banks and
in certain railroads, tramways and
mines. Any future French diplomatic
matters or cooperation at the United
states invitation would be strictly linn
tied TO protection Of these financial in
terests and OF the lives and property
of French citizens.

Husbands Efforts Vain.

The laws and the constitution are
such that the efforts Of the devoted
husband and father to alter these con-
dltions have been entirely IN vain. HIS
wife will not be Empress; his son Will
not ascend the throne. The old En-
peror has professed himself poWeriess
TO change this. Kaiser Wilhelm, aware
Of all these circumstances, has always
scrupulously observed those ceremonial
rules. at his infrequent meetings with
the Duchess Hohenberg, which are
made and provided for such cases in
Continental Europe, and has never rec
ognized her right to more.
But this time matters have come TO
a head. During conversations Kaiser
Wilhelm has had recently with Count
szoesenyi Marich, the Austro-Hun-
garian Ambassador in Berlin. regard
ing details Of his projected stay in
Konopisht, he refused fatty TO treat
his hostess with imperial honors. AND
thus II is that the visit is off, causing
much modification TO the future ruler

danger OF receiving honors less than
those due to her. Moreover, the Grand
Duke Michael Mikhaylovich and his
wife, Countess Torby, have been in
England a good deal this year, and
have been received everywhere.
Political Consequences in Doubt.
What, II any. political consequences
will grow out Of this remains to be
seen II is undeniable, though that
Just at present political relations be-
tween the two allies, Austria Hungary
and Germany, are neither as close nor
as friendly as heretofore. And perhaps
rot without cause. Aside from the fact
that Kaiser Wilhelm and Archduks
Francis Ferdinand do not synpathize
particularly with each other, the Kaiser
all through the Balkan troubles proved
not very reliable ally and comrade-
in-arms. This was the case partcu-
larry toward the end OF the war. The
arrangement between the Dual Mon
archy and Rumania is partly attributed
here to German intrigues at Bucharest;
Germany Is trying TO expand her COM
inerce in Rumania at Austrias ex"

toward Greece is not relished here any

Price List Of Titles.

This letter made the mouths OF many
rich men water. and further CORE
spondence brought a price list OF titles
ranging from 5000 TO 5000 for the
rank OF baron, count or knight, and
cheaper rates for a court title, such as
chamberlain or priyy councillor. There
were few refusals, and a handsome tor
tune was secured by the vender OF
titles.
The authorities investigated and
found DR.. De Mole de Chalet the inter
mediary between the court OF Prince
