Nish, Servia (via Athens), July 30
The Austrians bombarded Belgrade
al Tuesday night until early Wednes-
day morning from three gunboats
which are at the junction of the Dan
ube and the Save. The fire was d.
rected mainly at the barracks in the
capital, but other public and private
buildings were hit by the shots. These
included the Franco-Servian and An
.drevitch banks. A banker, who was
in the latter, was wounded. The off,
cials of both banks made protests to
the German legation.
The Servians did not reply to the
fire. Part Of the bridge across the
Save from Belgrade to Semlin was
destroyed and IS now in such a con-
Gition that it cannot be used Artil-

Russia Modifying 100000.
London, July 30.-The Russian
mobilization orders issued call out
100000 men. The troops affected are
those on the frontier contiguous to
Austria. The order is confined to the
military districts of Kiev, Odessa,
Moscow and Kazan. The peace foot.
ing Of each of these districts is four
army corps, each numbering 10000
men, or a total Of $4,000 men. The

Premier Asquith, referring to the
international crisis in the house of
commons today said:.
THE situation at this moment is
one OF extreme gravity, and / can
only ;truthfully say that the British
government is not ceasing its efforts
to DO everything in it's power to cir

Austria to Attack Through Bosnia.
Troops are being rushed to the Bos-
MIA border by both nations and Mon
tcnegrin troops also are being concen.
tratod in the same district, apparently
to support the Serbs. The concensus
of Servian opinion seems to be that
the first invasion of Servia will come
from the Bosnia frontier and ii is
here that the Servians are preparing
to make their first stand. No plan of
campaign of either side has however,
been allowed to pass the censorship.
Austrian and Servian aeroplanes are
accommodating along the Bosnian
Servian border in an effort to deter.
mine the position which are being
taken by the enemy.
The .Austria-Hungarian government
has reQuisitioned the entire train ser.
vice of the dual monarchy and all pri-
vate transportation has ceased.
Russia Is MobiIizino.
Dispatches received. here say that
the Russian war Office issued orders
for the partial mobilization of the
Russian troops in the southern and
southwestern parts of the empire. II
is understood, however, that the pres.
eAt orders affects only the Austrian
border and not the German frontier.
The preparations, however, are in.
creasing the uneasiness in Germany
and Austria since they fear that they

Russia for eventualities, the optimists
