between Austrians and Servians is re-
ported to have occurred on the Dan
ube. but no details are available. and
IL is not considered to have been Of
Importance. As far as the censorship
not yet opened her military ope'a-
tons.
An extremely warlike spirit prevails
in Vienna, where the evening papers
declare that the Seryians are only
seeking eyasions, and that, the efore
II is impossible for the Austrian Gov
eminent TO retreat. Further they hint
that even should Servia accept the
Austrian ultimatum Internationally
and offer to pay the cost OF Austria S
mobilization Austria now would be
compelled to ask for quite new guar
antees.
All the nations of Europe are max
ing preparations for war. as none Of
them wishes to be caught mapping in
case hestiIities should break out.
4 special newspaper dispatch from
Copenhagen today says several of the

Is believed that the withdrawal re-
Gently OF the name of Thomas n.
Jones of Chicago. nominated for mem
hership on the federal reserve bank
board, will serve TO smooth out some
of the complications that seemed like
ly a week ago.
The tension between President VIII
son and United States Senator Gilbert
II. Hitchcock, which had an air
ing in the Senate fight for Jones's con
firmation. has had a loud echo in Ne
braska, where the senator's following
generally has sided against the presi-
dents attitude and where Senator
Hitchcocks friends have charged Sec
Rotary of state Bryan with interfering
in Nebraska politics in an unjustifi-
able manner. II is generally believed
now that President Wilson, Senator
Hitchcock and Nebraska's democratic
congressman will be indorsed and
thai n compliment will be paid the
secretery Of state.
