SERVlA REFUSES DEMANDS OF AUSTRIA AND LATTER HAS
 DECLARED FOR WAR.
SERVIA MOVES ITS CAPITAL
Government Forsakes the Exposed Austrian Border and Moves to the lnland-Whole of Europe Seems to be involved in the Matter.

London, July 25.--The darkest war cloud which has appeared oa the Flu ropean horizon since Germany sent warships to Agadir in 1911 has arisen within forty-eight hours. The Ser yian government has refused to com | ply with Austria's demands, the most | humiliating ever asked of an inde- l pendent nation, for the eXpiatiol of | the Sarajeyo murders, for which Au- stria holds anti-Austrian conspiracies | in Servia responsible, and for guaran- | tees of future good behavior. At 5:50 o'clock tonight when the Austro4Hungarian ultimatum expired, l the SerYian premier handed the Aus trian minister at Belgrade Servia's reply. The minister immediately sev- cred dip omatic relations and started | home.
 The contents of the note have not been revealed, but the Seryian lega- tion in London understands that it accepted some of Austria's conditions and rejected others Apparently Au- stria was resolved to have the whole bill paid or nothing.
 The vital question to Europe is whether Russia vii come to the res, cue of her little Slay brother. invov- ing the other powers, and making of the war a dread struggle of Slav against Teuton for European su. premacy
 Reports from St. Petersburg say that the Russian army is mobilizing but it is to be remembered that Rus sia mobilzed several corps when Aus emepror, stepping to the side of his ally, it was said, "in shining armor' put veto on Russian intervention.
 Austria and Seryia are both mobil- izing but the silence of all the dis patches on the subject of military preparations indicate clearly that an ironclad censorship has been esta5- lished in both countries.
 The center of Berlin is filled to- night with cheering tumutuous crowds indulging in continuous en- thusiastic demonstrations over the expected outbreak of Austro-Servian hostilities.
 The strains of tho German and Austrian national anthems are heard from time to time above the cheers of the crowd. Newspaper extras sent out in rapid succession are torn from the hands of the distributors and the streets are carpeted with discarded sheets. The enthusiasm could scarce ly be greater if it were Germany's own war which was about to begin.
 In the past two days the newspa- pers have been preparing the public for this contingency and most of the demonstrators apparently realize that hostilities along the Danube might be preliminary to Russian and German mobilizations in a few days.
 About 2,000 persons gathered be fore the Austrian embassy when news of Servia's refusal to accept the terms laid down by Austria became known. They cheered Austria-HIun- gary and sang patriotic songs. The Austrian ambassador appeared on the balcony and warmly thanked those gathered below.
 Another spontaneous demonstra- tion occurred in Wihelmstrasse, through which some thousand men marched singing Die Yacht an Rhein"
 The streets of Berlin are filled with excited crowds and everywhere is heard talk of Germany's chances Of 'becoming involved.
 The Servians have decided not to attempt to defend Belgrade, the gar rison having already been withdrawn, i, according to Vienna reports, and the seat of the government removed from Belgrade to Kraeuyevatz, a strong strategetic point sixty niles to the south.
 Servia's refusal to humilate itself to the extent it's big neighbor has dictated was not unexpected. The Serbs have been proud since their success in the late Balkan war and the government which yielded to such demands as Austrias could not last; even the dynasty would be imperiled. Seryia's little ally, Montenegro, seems
