IN HANDS
OF THE AUSTRIANS
Austria Evidently Intends to
Gain Complete Control Of
All SerVia

London, Dec. 3.-Much anxiety was
felt here today concerning conditions
in Servia.
That matters were going badly with
the oervians has peen known for some
time but Wednesdays announcement
that the Austrians had captured Bel
grade served to emphasize the extent
to which the smaller cOuntry's defend
ers must have been suffering recently.
Ever since Austria began really
vigorous campaign against its little
neighbor, il has been considered plain
here that the Vienna government in
tended to gain complete control of the
latter's territories as a means Of com.
pensating itself in case it lost Galicia
and Bukoyina permanently to the Rus
SLAMS.
The capture of Belgrade was deemed
certain to be preliminary to determ-
ined movement southwark, and against
the enormously superior forces the Aus
trians are able to put into the field,
military men said it was useless to ex.
pect the Sorvians to put up any serious
resistance unaided.
The only hopeful fact experts could
see was that winter campaigning in the
Balkan mountains is so difficult that
the invaders might be delayed until
Russia succeeded in getting through
Hungary to the Servians assistance.
