Austrian propaganda
Seryia proposed an appeal TO tho
powers at the Hague for the settle-
nent OF that feature. Notwithstand-
np this h1miltating surrender. which
was more than Europe expected of the
proud little nation. the Austrian gov
Arnment today gave the Servian min
ster his passports which may be con-
itrued rs a virtual declaration of war.
Austria also committed an act Of
Har by arresting the chief Of the Ser
ian general staff General putpik

eased by the emperor's direct COM
