Serbia Asks For More Time In
Which To Formulate Her Rep1v

Belgrade, July 27.-Servia. according
the foreign office in Belgrade, has re-
uuested Austria for an extension of
time in which to reply to the note
asking for a delay until the Servian
parliament, which has been
to an extraordinary session, shall have
been consulted. 1t is also stated in
authoritative circles that Servia is
ready to grant the Austrian demands
as. far as possible, without damage to
her national prestige. %
The election of mebersS of the Ser
Wan parliament has been postponed
and the members of the old parliament
have been ordered to meet in special
session tomorrow to discuss the situa-
ton between Servia and Austria.
The government newspaper, Samou-
prava publishes the following, which is
generally accepted as indicating the
tone of Servia's reply to Austria:
"Servia desires sincere and correct
neighborly relations with h dual
monarchy. Convinced Of the necessity
of maintaining such relations, the
Servian government will readily COM
ply with all the demands of Austria
Hungary. which will serve to suppress
all criminal acts, manifestations and
discord in neighboring countries.
Besides the Servian government
considers il is thereby fulfilling the
obvious duty of a civilized state the
government will in all sincerity do ev-
erything to prove it's intense desire for
friendly relations with the dual
monarchy"

Russia Prepares to Go Any
Length to Protect Serbia

st. Petersburg. July 27.-Orders for
che pf9mpt mobilization of the Russian
army were looked for today as a result
of the calling of the council of min
listers, presided over by the emperor of
Russia and held at the palace Of
Peterhof early this morning.
From present indications Russia ap-
pears prepared to go to n extremes
rather than tolerate the downfall of
Seryia.
The Austro- Servian situation was
considered at a four hours meeting of
the cabinet. 1t is understood that as a
result Russia Immediately will inter-
yene in the controversy by asking
Austria to prolong the pcriod she has
given Servia to reply to her ultiniatum.
SO that European diplomats may ''lave

The Official view is that should
Austria refuse to prolong the term Of
the ultimatum. Russia may take ex-
IRENE measures. 1t Is considered here
that She dispute should have been sub
mitted to the European powers to
whosa decision Servia is willing to de-
fer.
Another cabinet council will be held
under the presidency Of Emperor
Nicholas before final decision is taken.
It was decided that the internal
situation was not weighty enough to
warrant Russia abandoning Servia to

far better military condition than she
was in 1902. prior to the Japanese war.
She has now 81 army corps and the
most modern artillery and equipment.
1t was the general opinion Of the
ministers that a nation with flourish
ing finances and such an army could
not afford to permit the humiliation Of
a friendly state and that Austria's
acton could be regarded as only a
challenge to Russia. To this latter
opinion that Sazonoff added there could
be but one answer.
1t was the opinion of the ministers
that should Bulgaria venture to assist
Austria she would be attacked by
Roumania.
Already part of the Russia press has
taken a defiant attitude, demanding
that the government in st. Petersburg
undertake the protection of Seryia,

munication that the localization of a

Russia.
The relations between Servia and
Austria were felt to have become in
tolerable. The attitude Of Seryia to-
ward Austria since Servia's success In
the last Balkan war. has been unbear-
able In Its arrogance.
1t Is believed in Servia that the time
was ripe for the dis~tintegration of the
Austro-Hungarian empire. and that
Austria would suffer anything rather
than run the risk of a European war.
Hence Servtan statemen asptred to

BY PROSPECTS OF WAR

London, July Pin all the European
capitals today a grave view is taken OF
the Austro-Servian situation arising
out of the presentation to Seryia by
the Austrian government of a virtual
ultimatum demanding the suppression
of the Pan-Servian movement and the
punishment of those concerned in the
assassination in Boston of the heir to
the Austrian imperial throne.
Diplomatic circles see in the dispute
and in the added possibility of Russian
interference on behalf of the "little
slav nation" the danger Of a general
European war. On the London stock
