| Washington, May S.--High tension marked the Mexican situation today. both on the military and the diplomatic side.
 The war department was the chief ccn-

 for additional troop movements have been sent it became known that the depart ment was considering sending of addi- tonal troops to Vera Cruz and probably would do so. This step would not be intended as an aggressive measure. but as a preeauton.
 or equally serious portent to the troop preparations was the report late in tha

yIenpa-While tho immediate cause
OF Austria -Hungary's attack on Ser
VIA is the demand for reparation Tor
the murder of the Archduke Francis
Ferdinand and his wife, the Duchess
OF Hohenberg, the ultimate causes
are the movement OF the Hapsburg
Empire toward the south. and the
desperate efforts OF the entire Serb
race TO regain complete national ex-
istence.
Ever since the repulse OF the Turk
ish Army from Vienna in 1858 the
Austrians have steadily fought their
way southwark expecting ultimately
to make their way to the Aegean over
the ruins of the Turkish Empire.
Austria, like Russia, was not unwill-

thirteenth and fourteenth centuries

Adriatic, practically all had come
under Turkish domination in the six

hinterland OF Istria and Dalmatia

Half an hour after midnight on June

the palace, burst into the apartments
OF the King and Queen, and killed
them. Details OF the tragedy vary,

Miggs.

"Yes," answered Miggs trembling.
You take your oath that this does

"Y-yes, sir" stammered the witness,

were actually in Austrian hands, the
Hapsburg monarchy formally annexed
Bosnia and Herzegovina. Germany
backed up her ally, and the protests
OF Slav powers did not go 10 the
extent OF war. Meanwhile the Slays
of Dalmatia are under Hungarian
rule; and here, as In Bosnia and
Herzegovina, promises OF local self
government have never come to any
thing more than words. Thus the
northern half of the Servian race Is
still under the Austrian Empire.
Meanwhile the southern half was
finally united by the victories over
Turkey in the war OF 1912. Not only
did this reconquest by the Servians
OF the core OF their old empire, In
Western Macedonia, give a tremendous
impulse TO the longing for complete
national unity; 1t showed the Servian
Nation that it's military organization
could be relied on for hard work.
In the Fall OF 1912 the Servians
modified 100000 men in the first
three weeks, and later added $1,000
more to the number; and while their
losses in this war and In the struggle
with Bulgaria in the Summer OF 1913
were heavy, the Servian troops fught
