Servia Seeks Delay While MobI-

ACTUAL POSSIBILITIES NEAR

Vienna. July 2S.-A communication
issued by the Austro-Hungarian for
eign office today sets forth the AUS
trian view of the Servian reply to us
trials note demanding the cessation Of
the pan-Servian agitation and the
punishment of those concerned in the
assassination at Sarajeyo of Archduke
Francis Ferdinand and his consort.
The communication gives the reasons
for Austria's dissatisfaction with
Servia's reply. 1t follows:
The object of the Servian note is
to create the false impression that the
Servian government is prepared in
great measure to comply with our de-
mands.
AS a matter of fact, however, Ser
Was note is filled with the spirit of
dishonesty, which clearly let's it be
seen that the Servian government is
not seriously determined to put an end
to the culpable utterance it hitherto
has extended to intrigues against the
Austro-Ilungarian monarchy.
The Servian note contains such far
reaching reservations n limitations
not only regarding the general prin-
ciples of our action. but also in regard
to the individual claims we have put
forward, that the CONCESSIONS actually
made by Servia became insignificant.
In particular, our demand for the
20 ilANiPilIcil " vie
authorities in Investigations to detect
accomplfces in the conspiracy on Ser
/ territory has been rejected while
our requests that measures be taken
against that section of the Servian
press hostile to Austria-l@ .lgary has
been declined and our wish that the
SerVlan government take the necessary
measures to prevent the dissolved Aus
trophobe associations continuing their
activity under another name and UNI
der another form, has not even been
considered.
Since the claims in the Austro-Hun-
garlan note of July %, regard being
had to the attitude hitherto adopted BY
Servla, represent the minimum of what
is necessary for the establishment of
permanent peace with the southeastern
monarchy, the Servian answer must
be regarded as unsatisfactory.
That the Servian government itself
is conscious that it's note is not ac-
ceptable to us, is proved by the cir
cumstance that it proposes at the end
OF the note to submit the dispute to
arbltration-an investigation which is
thrown into its proper light by the fact
that three hours before handing in the
note, a few minutes before the expira-
ton of the time limit, the mobilization
OF n SerVians took place.

Fierre, S. n. July 29.-While South

hostile to the idea of a bank guaranty
act The members OF this profession

that the effect of the acid varies widely
