IS TRYING TO WIPE
SERWA OFF THE MAP
Austria Concentrates Troops
In Supreme Effort to Fin
ally Dispose Of Enemy

Nish, Servia, Oct. 2O.-(By mail to
New York. Win or lose, Austria is
determined to obliterate the kingdom
of Servia.
This is the accepted belief here. 1t
is based on various reasons, but most
Immediately ON the fact that the Aus
trians are concentrating at present for
service against the little nation, the
largest army they have yet hurled
against the Servian frontier
For weeks the flower of the Aus
trian forces has been gathering along
the west bank Of the River Drina.
Information in the hands Of the
Servian general staff is to the effect
that when this concentration is com
pleted-and only then--it will be
thrown into Servian territory in q last
desperate effort to end for all time the
kingdom S final pretension to national
life.
The opinion is generally held here
that Austria believes it will hava, with
Servia crushed, fighting chance to
retain her own national position, even
though the Anglo Franco Russian ALI.
ance should be supremely victorious
and the Berlin and Vienna governments
have to sue for peace.
Another servian Army,
Although Servians fully realize the
seriousness of the situation, nowhere
can anyone be found who will admit
the possibility, however, of their coun.
try S destruction.
Still, no attempt is made to deny the
fact that it faces its supreme fight
greatly weakened by its two recent
wars. Its little army, as well as its
material resources, has suffered ter.
ribly. Yet in almost every meeting il
has had with the Austrians since the
present conflict began, it has been
victorious.
Foreign military men, here as OBJ
servers Of operations, have expressed
wonder at the manner in which the
Servians have accomplished the seem
ingly impossible. All their mobilizinp
and transporting has been done with
less than 500 miles Of railroads. Ever
highways are uncommon in Servia
Cross country hauling has been done
with OK carts.
Despite these handicaps, the army
has been kept in good Fighting trim
Now new army is being whipped into
shape at Uskub. 1t is upon the speed
and efficiency with which this new
army, the third in three years, de
velops that Servia's continued nationa
existence depends.

II was understood the British, French

allies would find Portuguese troops
more valuable for service against Ger.

haps for aiding the French against the
rebel tribesmen In Morocco than in the
European field,
The Lisbon parliament's action did
not, Of itself, however, constitute a
call to the colors, and until the war Of.
flee issues a mobilization order there
will be no further developments.
Reports from Petrograd today con-
tinued to speak Of the bombardment Of
Cracow by the Russian troops. II
was thought here that the lombard

some Of its outlying defenses as It was
