Servia Officially Announces Severance
of Relations.

London, Oct. 16.-Servia has de-
clared war on Bulgaria.
Announcement of the Servian action
received here from Nish via Salonika
and Athens ended all hopes that Bull
garia might not, actually fight with
the Teutonic allies. Warlike as Car
Ferdnand's attitude had been it had
been deemed a possibility until now
that prudence might lead him to stop
at fully armed neutrality.
A report that Bulgaria declared wal
on Servia several days ago has not
even yet been officially verified and
while there certainly has been frontier
fighting 1t was thought that perhaps
this was mere clashing between the
border patrols such as has been go
ing on in the Balkans for years.
