Fourteen Corps on Frontier.

st. Petersburg, July 3O.--All doubt Of
Russia s military activity was removed
today by an official notification which
the czar sent to Vienna and Berlin Of
an order by when he was mobilizing
IA army corps.
The Russian troops were being mass
ed on the Austrian, not on the German,
| frontier.
1t was explained that the mobiliza-

eign office, could be ayerted if Austria
would cease its aggressiOns against Ser
via and withdraw from Seryian terri
tory.
Emperor Francis Joseph, OF Austria
was reported to have written personally
to the czar, explaining the situation tc
him from the Austrian standpoint, and
trying to convince him that there wal
no occasion for him to intervene.

Left by ServianS

London, July 3d. Fierce fighting

Of the Servians' Montenegrin allies at
Mount Lovehen.
The battle Of Semendria marked the
Austrians' first attempt at an invasion
Of Servian territory by way Of the
Morava river valley.
The fight started yesterday and was
renewed at dawn today. The Servians
were said to be putting up q desperate
resistance and losses of several hundred

eupied Belgrade Wednesday night, ac-
cording to an apparently authentic dis.
patch received here from Vienna today.
Before floating the pontoons on
which they crossed the river from the
Austrian to the Servian side, it was
stated that the Austrians shelled the
river bank at the point where they in
tended to land.
There was no reply, the bridge was
placed and the invaders crossed and
seized the city.
The only resistance offered when
they occupied it was from Seryian
sharpshooters who, it was said, fired
some scattering shots and then retired
before the Austrian fire.
Casualties, said the dispatch, were
inconsequential.

tions.

GERMAN LETTER RECEIVED
BY HERMAN LEUTZ

Recently William Leutz, connected
with a leading business firm in Aber-
bach, Germany, wrote his brother,
Herman Leutz of Taylor, regarding
conditions in his country since the
war started.
Mr.. Leutz writes that business is
going on uninterrupted and no one
would suspect that there were hos
tilities at the frcnt from any effect
that it has on trade and the usual
work in the cities or in the agricul-
tural districts. Crops were abundant
in all districts Of Germany this year.
Mr.. Leutz ridicules the idea of any
shortage of provisions in his country
and adds that prices for food stuffs
have not advanced. He says that the
people are going along with their
usual work both in the cities and in
the country feeling confident that
their armies will be victorious.
William Leutz has read some of
the war reports published in Ameri-
can papers, including the Dickinson
PRESS, Taylor Reporter and Bis
marck Tribune, and declares that our
publishers have been grossly misin-
formed as to the real facts. He feels
that the truth will be known some
day and then the English speaking
people will feel differently regarding
the present European war crisis.
