 Along Bosnian
 Frontier.

Frontier.
 St. Petersburg, July 29.-A de- spatch from Belgrade says the Ser s.vian capital has been bombarded and the bridge over the river Save blown up.
 Great patriotic demonstrations took place among thes populace of St.. Petersburg today, and reports from Moscow state that similar mahifes- tations occurred there.4
 It was announced today that in Yal- ta and the surrounding districts in the Crimea a state of reinforced pro- lection or modified form of .martial law has been proclaimed by the government.
 The Bourse here was closed today and probably will not open until Mon- day next.
 Powers Massing Armies.
 London, July 29.-Reports of the massing of armies in strategic posi- tions came from all points of Europe today, but no actual clash of oppos- ing forces was registered.
 Diplomats concentrated their atten- ton on efforts to confine the war to Austria Hungary and. Servia, the two nations immediately concerned in the quarrel and the attitude of the Ger man and Russian emperbrs was close ly watched owing to their near rela- tions to the countries engaged.
 Refers to Situation.
 Premier Asquith referred to the in- ternational situation in the house of commons, but all the information he was able to impart was contained in a few words. He said:
 'The situation at this moment is one of extreme gravity and can only fully say that the British government is not relaxing it's efforts to do every thing in its power to circumscribe the area of conflict @
 The British premier then in reply to a question said:
 ''The British government has re- ceived no information as to an al- legged revolutionary outbreak in Rus sian Poland"
 Troops Being Placed.
 Austria Hungary and, Servia re- sounded today with the march of troops towards positions of attack and defense while military aviators on both sides fitted through the air along the frontiers in an effort to dis cover their opponents positions.
 No idea of the plan of campaign could be obtained by the general pub- lie, however, owing to the rigidity of the censorship in regard to mili- tary movements. It was known that the Austro- Hungarian government had requisitioned the entire train service and that private transportation in the dual monarchy had ceased and it was gleaned from dispatches from Servian points that the Bosnian frontier was looked upon as the most likely point of attack of the Austrian troops and thither the soldiers of King Peter were hurried in great numbers.
 Concentrate Along Frontier.
 The Montenegrin soldiery evidently preparing to support their brother Serbs, also concentrated along the Bosnian frontier.
 The stock exchanges everywhere in Europe were demoralized and where they were not closed business was al- most at standstill.
 David Lloyd George, British chan cel1or of the exchequer, today made the financially tranquillizing statement in the house of commons that the Bank of England saw nothing in the present financial situation to make it necessary to call a meeting of bankers to deal with 1t.
 Baron Rothschild Comments.
 Baron Rothschi1d, speaking of the stir %~ today said:
 T think the situation looks rather better today, but | do not know per- sonally of any developments At the same time it looks as if there were more chance of the war being local ized.
 Yesterday was blacker day than today. I think things look a. little brighter I do not quite know why but I have the feeling that they are"
 Baron Rothschild then reiterated his opinion that the war would be confined to Austra-Hungary and Seryia. '
 Troops Being Transported.
 Tn the meantime despatches from Vienna showed that the movement of the Austrian forces toward the Serv- ian frontiers was proceeding steadily, hut a strict censorship concerning the military movements prevented the exact destination of the troops reach ing the outside world. All the Aus trian and Hungarian railways were taken over yesterday for military traffic, and transportation for the gen. eral public was suspended.
 Servia, it was known. was just as
