Gently because of Ill health, the full
weight OF the crisis fell upon the
crown prince. He was in constant
conference with the cabinet today in
framing the reply to the Austrian
note.
The cabinet was given entire sup

night prepared to back up its ultima
tum to Servia with war.

the demands of Austria, but when
government officials learned the
source Of the reports. they refused to
hold out any hopes of peace. The state

Of an inspired article in the Samoup-
rava, the government organ.
This gave what is taken to be an
outline of the Servian reply. It de-

"Servia desires sincere and correct
relations with the dual monarchy.
Convinced of the necessity of main
tanning such relations, the Servian
government will readily comply With
all demands of Austro-Hungary which
will serve to suppress all criminal

the neigkboring countries.
Because the Servtan government
considers it is thereby fulfilling the
obvious duty Of civilized state, the
government will in all sincerity do
everything possible to prove its desire
for friendly relations with the eual
monarchy"
An answer of this sort was not
sought or desired by Austria. The
note to Belgrade was sharp and called
for yes" or no" answer.
After reviewing the relations be-
tween the two countries since 1907, the
ultimatum declared that although
Servia had promised loyalty to Austro
Hungary, it had failed to suppress
agitations by societies and newspapers
which melted hatred for the dual mon
