AUSTRIA TOO BUSY IN u. S.
Question Whether Neutrality
Laws Are Violated.

Washington, July 31.-Strenuous ef-
forts being made by Austria and Ser
via to recall from the United States for
military service the many thousands of
their citizens who are employed in
American factories have attracted Off
cial attention, and the question has
been raised whether such activities are
being carried beyond the limits pre-
scribed by the neutrality laws.
Advertisements have appeared IN
many American papers calling upon the
reservists and other Austrians and
Sewians eligible for military duty TO
return to their fatherland for service
and offering money for their trans
portation.
The neutrality laws not only forbid
the departure OF armed expeditions
from the United States, directed
against a friendly nation, but enlist
meuts are specifically prohibited. The
individual foreigners is left free to make
his way as an individual out Of the
country. but extension to him of aid
in the shape of passage money and
expenses and any attempt to direct his
movements TO certain rendezvous in a
foreign country is believed by some
officials here 10 be OF questionable le-
gality and akin 10 enlistment.

War-Big Response TO
Call for Nurses.

Vienna. July 31.-Austrian frontier
guards to-day repealed strong attack
by Servians near Klotievatz, on tho
Bosn an frontier, without sustaining
loss. The Servians lost one officer and
twenty-five men.
The tension in Vienna was Crcatcr
to-day than at any time since the start
of the international crisis, although
nothing definite had occurred TO change
the situation for the worse.
The "Neue Freie Press" insisted to-
day that Russia must cease 70 pro-
crastinate and say distinctly and unre-
servedly what she intended 10 do.
Popular enthusiasm in regard 20 tho
war against Servia showed no sign OF
abatement. An appeal for Red Cross

from 1000 women and girls belonging
to all classes of society, who called at.
the hospitals and registered their

platz.
Though no reports of the "conyersa-
tons" have been published, il seems
to be admitted again this evening that
a European conflict il now inevitable.
The police authorities have forbid
den the publication Of extra editions
CT the newspapers, and even the regu
lar editions have not been permitted
to refer to the occupation OF Belgrade
which is still not generally known.
1t has leaked out here that the AUS
trian plan of campaign is 20 attack
Servia chiefly by way Of Bosnia, while
the armies on the Danube in the north
simply occupy positions and remain
temporarily inactive.
The course Of operations az the front
is not known in any way 10 the public.
and even officers OF the reserve say
that they have no information on the
subject.

WAR CARGO RISKS
Up TO 5 PER CENT
Only Insurance Placed
Yesterday Applied to
British Vessels.

The only war risks written in New
York Yesterday were placed at to D
per cent on cargoes carried in British
ships. No rate was quoted on Amerl-
can ships. because none WAS asked.
None could have been had here at
anv price on German, Austrian or ltal-
ian ships.
Not much was written even at the
top price Of the day, and shippers who
objected to paying the price found no
relief in trying to place their insurance
at Lloyds in London, rates there being
fully as high as in New York, with
underwriters betraying no unusual
keeness to write at the prices quoted.
From now on, should war be de-
clarcd. insurance brokers look for an
end for a time Of any insurance on
cargoes. Then, as the needs Of the
other side for American products in
crease. business is expected TO increase
with il.
alt is quite conceivable" said one
blockade insurance at fancy rates, but
that would not necessarily mean money
for us. When people want thing,
such as food, badly enough rates OF
40 and 80 per cent or even higher will
not prevent them from trying to get
it. The broker at that rate might lose
money, as he did on stuff to Vladivo-
stok IN the Russo japanese War"
The suggestion that the lack of ships
might be remedied by Congress enact
ing a law making easier the registra-
ton Of foreign built ships, brought
out the fact that such registration will
have TO be an accomplished fact before
