Tho Possibilities.

Russia has proclaimed herself the
protector OF Servia and of Roumania.
BY conquering Servia, Austria and her
ally, Germany, would reach the Aegean
sea and thus hamper the southern
Russian ports and commerce. Rou-
mania is Russia's buffer State.
II Russia aids SerVAa-and already
her army is mobilizing--this would call
upon Germany and Italy. as parties to
the Triple Alliance, to send their
armies and navies against Russia in
the aid OF their ally, Austria Hungary.
Then. as members OF the Triple En-
tente between Russia. France and
England, France and England may be
compelled to aid Russia.
Thus there would be OF the six great
powers OF Europe. Germany. Austria
Hungary and Italy on one side and
Russia. England and France on the
other.
France. at least It's army. Ii appar-
emily eager for the contest. seeking to
regain lost Alsace and Lorraine and to
avenge the war OF 1871.
England, which has much 10 lose and
little TO gain. is bending every energy
to prevent a general European war.
Bulgaria may be expected TO aid the
dual monarchy TO avenge the wrongs
which she believed she suffered just
after the war with Turkey. when Ser
via attacked her and forced her to
surrender most OF what her army had
won. Turkey is counted upon TO aid
Austria Hungary while Greece. TO pre-
vent her humiliation by the south
west progress OF Austria Hungary will
also support Servia and the Pan Slav-
lists
Servia also counts on the rising tide
OF Pan Slavism within the dual mon
archy. And, outside OF the active aid
OF Russia, the little kingdom is relying
much on the reported Indulgence OF the
Austria Hungary treaty.

Residing in Berlin Are Instruct
ed to Hold Themselves in
Readiness to Return.
ON THE SH0R TEST NOTICE
AS the Situation between That
Country and Sefvia is Be-
coming Very Grave.

BERLIN, July 24.-Austrian re-
servists residing here were instruct
ed today to hold themselves In read
mess to return to Austria and Join
their regiments at the shortest notice.
The grave possibility connected with
the strong Austrian note to Servia
which virtually took the form OF an
ultmatum, demanding the suppress
sion of the paneServian movement
and the punishment Of those con-
cerned in the assassination OF the
late Archduke Ferdinand are recog-
nized in official circles here. It is
realized in these quarters that further
serious developments in Austro-Ser-
Wan relations are inevitable unless
Servia complies with the Austrian de-
mand.
1t is believed in authoritative quar-
tiers that the Servians will yield un-
less assured Of support from outside
and for this reason official eyes here
are today turned less toward Bel
grade than to st. Petersburg, where
the council Of ministers is expected
to settle the question of peace. or. war.
It was pointed out that should Russia
take part against Austria Germany
was fully prepared to draw the
sword on behalf of her ally in ac-
cordance with the terms of the triple
alliance between Germany, Austria
and Italy.

to fear and Furthermore recognize
that the most dangerous menace to the
present system Of bipartisan politics
In this state is contained in the move
ment to elect Mr.. Human as govern
or on a non-partisan tocket, which
hope will contain the names OF such
anti-machine Democrats as Mr.. Hen
messy, as well as Progressives and
anti-machine Republicans. I shall
continue with increased aggressive
ness to attack Messrs. Barnes and
Murphy and the kind Of machine
