lin Is only two or three miles away
and is easily commanded by guns
placed on the heights Of Belgrade. as
the land lying in the neighborhood is
very low. At the intersection OF the
two rivers is War island n marshy ex-
panse formed by the silt brought down
by the Save. Around this the Austrian
transports are compelled TO go to take
troops down the river. but the guns
Of warships at Semlin could easily
lombard the city Of Belgrade itself.
Semlin has population of about IL.
600. but Is town of no special i'm
portance. except as customs station
and the starting point of military
operations below the Danube. 1t Is
almost surrounded by low lying
swampy ground. through which the
railroad goes on to the southeast and
crosses the Save into Belgrade at II
point about three or four kilometers
distant.
Temesvar Is an important railroad
center and garrison town of about 40
coo inhabitants. about fifty miles east
OF the Danube as il flows south
through the plain of Hungary and
seventy-fve miles northeast of Bel
grade. From it diverge several rail.
road lines. which could carry troops
down to the Danube so as to com.
mence an invasion all along the north
ern frontier of Servia.
One of these lines. striking Off to
the southeast, reaches the river. just
after crossing the Roumanian frontier,

southwest and ends at Pancsova, on
the Danube, only few miles below
Belgrade. A third. running southwark.
forks at Versecz, about twenty miles
from the frontier. One branch runs
to Pancsova. on the southwest, another
east to BaZias, on the Danube, about
forty miles below Belgrade, and the
third to Rubin. midway between Bel
grade and Bazias.
Opposite Kubin Is the Servian town
Of Semendria. formerly a fortress Of
great strength. 1t is still a town Of
considerable Importance and, as the
end Of branch line Of railroad, could
be used as the starting point Of ma
neuvers to cut OF Belgrade from the
rest Of servia.
