Belgrade, Servia, March 1.-THE
Austrian government today took step
regarded as equivalent to forbidding
Servia to send troops to assist the
Montenegrins in capturing the Turkish
fortress of Scutari.
The Austrian minister to Servia,
Baron Won Ugron Won Abranfalda, in
formed Premier Pasitch that his gov
ernment objected to Servian troops as
sisting in the siege Of Scutari. which
was to become the capital of Albania.
He requested the immediate recall OF
any Servian troops which had been dis
patched there.
The Se1vian premier in reply point
ed out that under treaty arrangements
Servia was compelled to assist her al
lies without regard to the future OF
Scutari.
The situation is regarded as ex-
tremely delicate. Feeling here is at a
high pitch over the attitude taken Oy

MASSACRE At ScUTARl FEARED.
Belgrade Paper Urges That Town se
Razed and No Quarter Given.

London, March 1.-THE massacre of
the entire population Of the Turkish
fortress of Scutari is probable when
that city falls, according to traveller
who writes to the Manchester Guar
dian. The newspaper says the writer
has had every opportunity to know the
temper of the Montenegrin and Servian
besiegers. 1t appeals to Sir EdWaro
Grey, the British foreign secretary. and
to the European powers to take steps
! to avert such a massacre.
The writer says that Servian Officers
at the port Of Durazzo boasted to MIN
that they had exterminated the Mos
lem Albanian tribe Of Lyuma.
1--WE have completely exteminated
the Rugova tribes" a Montenegrin told
him. When we had overpowered
them we made them all pass under the
sword"
The leading Belgrade paper is quoted
as recommending that no quarter De
given to the civilian inhabitants OF
Scutari and that the town be leveled
to the ground.
The Balkan situation came up for
discussion in the house Of commons.
Premier Asquith said:
"An agreement on one or two points
only, and these no vital ones, is re-
quired to secure the complete accord OF
the powers on the question of the
boundaries Of Albania. Turkey has
agreed to mediation by the powers. and
we are now waiting to hear whether
the allies also will accept"
Mr.. Asquith added that settlement
had been reached on the question OF
Servia's economic access to the Adria-
tic and as to an autonomous Albania
under European guarantee.

Sydney. New South Wales. March IL.
"A sixty mile gale swept this city
today causing several fatilities and do
ing great damage ashore and afloat.
Sixty street cars were derailed by the
wind, several yachts wrecked at their
moorings and chimneys toppled over
thruout the city. A deluge Of rain ac-

electrocuted and ten horses killed by
fallen wire and three men were
drowned in the harbor.
Suburban traffic was brought to
standstill until the storm abated. A
number of buildings were wrecked and
trees uprooted. Many accidents were

FROZEN ORANGE CROP MENACE.
Fruit Dangerous to Health and Injuri-
Gus a. Fertilizer.

Perry, March II. - The problems
which face the orange grove owners
Of southern California are something
serious according to Harvey Williams,
who is back from the state which re-
Gently suffered SO serious freeze.
He says that the farmers are hauling
the fruit by wagon loads and dumping
them in waste places.
THE loss is more than the financial
one which in itself is serious enough"
says Mr.. Williams. 1.-The frozen fruit
is a menace to the health Of the peo-
pie and is SO poisonous that it Is a
problem of what to do with it, The
federal department Of agriculture sent
specialists to the scenes and chemical
tests were made. It was shown that
the freezing of the oranges developed
a sort of acid in the fruit which Is
deadly and If a person should eat one
or two of them it Is the hospital for
him. Furthermore the specialists state
that the frozen oranges must not be
used as fertilizers. 1t is shown that
the same acid which the freezing gem
Grated in the fruit becomes a sort Of
sterilizer and that its use as fertilizer
in orange groves will make the trees
nom bearing.
While there saw huge wagon loads
Of the fruit carried into ravines and
other waste places and dumped. The
trouble of the orange grower can be
best understood when it is known that
an ordinary person can not tell the dif-
ference between frozen and q whole
some orange from the appearance. All
Of the growers Associations in south
ern California have suspended oper-
ations for year"
