The Seryian armies will move as
three armies and it is understood to
be the intention of the Servian COM
manders to encourage a revolution

The armies crossed the Save into
Mitrovieza and Slavonia and will pro-
ceed along the north bank of the
river, crossing into Bosnia at a point
known only to the army chiefs.
BY crossing here two objects will
be served. Should the revolution,
which Seryian agents are fostering in
Bosnia and Herzegovina succeed, then
IL would be possible for the Servians
to remain in Bosnia and operate from
there.
Their crossing into Mitrovieza will
also have the effect of drawing off
the Austrian forces from Bosnia.
