Answer of Servia Criticized.
Vienna, Austria, July ga COM
munication issued by the Austro-Hun-
garian foreign office sets forth the
Austrian view of the Servian reply
to Austria's note, demanding the ces-
sation of the pan-Servian agitation
and the punishment of those con-
cerned in the assassination Of Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand and his con-
sort. The communication also gives
the reasons for Austrias dissatisfac-
ton with Servia's reply. 1t follows:
THE object Of the Servian note is
to create the false impression that
the Servian government is prepared
in great measure to comply with our
demands. AS a matter Of fact, how
ever, Servia's note is filled with the
spirit Of dishonesty, which clearly let's
it be seen that the Servian govern
ment is Tot seriously determined to
put an end to the culpable tolerance
it hitherto has extended to intrigues
against the Austro-Hungarian mon
archy
Considers Concessions Small.
"The Servian note contains such far
reaching reservations and limitations,
not only regarding the general princi-
pies of our action, but also In regard
to the individual claims we have put
forward, that the concessions actually
made by Servia become insignificant.
In particular our demand for the
participation of the Austro-Hungarian
authorities in Investigations to detect
accomplices In the conspiracy on Ser
Wan territory has been rejected, while
our request that measures be taken
against that section of the Servian
press hostile to Austria-Hungary has
been declined, and our wish that the
Servian government take the neces-
sary measures to prevent the dis
solved Austrophobe associations con-
tinuing their activity under another
name and under another form has not
even been considered.
Demands Deemed Minimum.
"Since the claims in the Austro-
Hungarian note of July 49, regard be-
ing had to the attitude hitherto adopt
ed by Servia, represent the minimum
of what is necessary for the estab-
lishment Of permanent peace with the
southeastern monarchy. the Servian
answer must be regarded as unsatis-
factory.
THAT the Servian government itself
Is conscious that its note Is not ac-
ceptable to us, is proved by the cir
cumstance that it proposes at the end
Of the note to submit the dispute to
arbitration-an invitation Is thrown
into its proper light by the fact that
three hours before handing in the
note, few minutes before the expir-
alton OF the time limit, the mobliza-
ton of the Servians took place"
1t was pointed out here that Austria
Hungary, being a signatory to the sec
ond Hague convention, would be OBJ
u ID formally to declare war, but as
Servia did not sign that convention.
such a declaration might be regarded
as unnecessary in this instance.
Italy has informed Austria that in
the event of an armed conflict with
Servia she will adopt friendly atti-
tude, in accordance with her relations
with the triple alliance.
