London, July 2S.-The darkest war
cloud which has appeared on the Euro
pean horizon since Germany sent war
ships to Agadir In 1911 has arisen
within three days.
The Servian government has refused
to comply with Austria's demands, the
most humiliating ever asked Of an In
dependent nation, for the expiation Of
the Sarajevo murders for which Aus
tria holds anti-Austrian conspiracies In
Servia responsible and for guarantees
Of future good behavior.
At $50 o'clock, when the Austro-
Hungarian ultimatum expired, the Ser
Wan premier handed to the Austrian
minister at Belgrade Servia's reply.
The minister Immediately severed dip
lomatic relations and started for home.
The contents of the note have not
been revealed, but the Servian lega-
tion in London understands that 1t ac.
cepted some of Austria's conditions
and rejected others. Apparently Aus
tria was resoved to have the whole
bill paid or nothing.
The vital question to Europe Is
whether Russia will come to the res
cue Of her little Slav brother, involv-
ing the other powers and making Of
the war a dread struggle of Slav
against Teuton for European suprem-
acy.
Reports from St Petersburg say
that the Russian army is mobilizing.
but it is to be remembered that Rus
sin modified several corps when Aus
tria annexed Bosnia aud the German
emperor stepped to the side Of his
ally.
The Se-vians have decided not to
attempt to defend Belgrade, the gar.
rison having already been withdraw
according to Vienna reports and the
seat of the government removed from
Belgrade to Kraguyeyata. a strong
strategic point sixty miles to the south.
Many rumors were current, some as
serting that Austria had given Seryia
further time in which to reply to her
peremptory note, others that she hal
refused to do so, and still others that
Servia maintained an attitude Of de-
fiance and was preparing for the worst
eventualities.
Statesmen It. all countries meantime
were making endeavors to bring about
a peaceable solution and all sought to
restrain movements of panic.
Already part of the Russian press
has taken defiant attitude. demand
ing that the government in st. Peters
burg undertake the protection OF Ser
via.
The Austrian ultimatum to Servia
was unanimously regarded in ST Pc
tersburg as an indirect challenge to
Russia.

left Vienna. A military censorship

mands, except that Austrian officials

land force OF 100000 men and
war strength of l.s45.000. Russia's
navy. largely rebuilt since the Rus

The Cause.-SeryiRs refusal to
obey the ultimatum issued by Aus

the suppression of the Pan-Servian
movement and the acceptance by the
little Balkan state Of responsibility
for the murder of the Crown Prince
and Crown Princess of Austria who
were killed by a band of anarchists

The Effect.-A general European

Seryia against invasion by the
forces of Austria and Germany,
would rally to the support of her
ally and neighbor. the dual mon

in alliance with Russia and Italy.
