sLAv COLOSSUS AWAKE.
Fight of Millions Is for Progress.
 With Austria Intervening.

Paris, July 28-The great Austrian barrier which hitherto has kept back 1S0,0OO,000 Slavs from Europe is breaking down. The Slav colossus has awakened from it's long sleep and is now making frantic efforts to join the great family of civilized na- tions.
 To endeavor to prevent the realiza- tion of the ideal of this people is the dangerous, the barbarous. part which Austria has taken up. She is attempting to halt the appeals of progress in order to bolster up a waning prestige of the house of Hapsburg.
 Servia may have been regarded as of little importance by Vienna until now, but greater Servia is reality. a force that cannot be destroyed, and it's millions of people are distributed throughout the various Balkan c0un- tries, covering the whole territory be- tween Belgrade and the Asiatic, which especially pile up in Bosnia and Her zegovina. and from there southward as far as Greece.
