The products, valued at many mil

The meat cargoes, shipped for the

1T is reported from the Balkans,

troops are concentrated near the Ser

Austro-Hungarian troops have beer
concentrated since a certain dat,
along the Serbian border line.
General mobilization of all mill

Official reports from Austrian and
German headquarters and dispatches
from the Balkan capitals show that
the long expected TeutOnic campaign
against Serbia now has begun. Aus
trian and German artillery is bonn
harding Serbian positions south of the
river frontier at various points along
the hundred mile front between the
mouths of the Drina and Morava
rivers.
This action undoubtedly is intended
as a cover to the throwing of force
across the river and the seizure of a
bridgehead whence the new steam
roller" can be started. Just where a
crossing will be attempted is un
known.
The shortest route to Bulgaria
would lead through the northeastern
corner Of Serbia, where barely thirty /
miles of Serbian territory intervenes
between the Bulgarian and Hungarian
borders. The difficult mountainous
