Austria-Hungary and Servia re
sounded today with tho march of th?
troops toward positions of attack and

both sides flitted through the air
along the frontiers in an effort to dis
cover their opponents' positions.
No idea of the plan of campaign
could be obtained by the general pub
lie. however, owing to the rigidity of
the censorship in regard to military
movements. It was known that the

Hungary was today preparing to
strike at Servia, against whom she
yesterday declared war, the rest of
the European nations, although still
hoping that the conflict would be lo

greater war that must ensue in case
Russia should intervene on behalf of

Servian Merchant Vessels Attacked.
A telegram from Premier Pachitch
of Servia to the Servian legation In
London, registers a formal complaint
in regard to the Austrian attacks on
Servian merchant vessels on the Dan
ube. It says:
"The Au6tro-Hunganan military anu
civil authorities fired throughout the
day on July 26 without the slightest
provocation from our side and dam
aged three of our trading vessels at
Kostolatz on the Danube. The Ser
vian flags were hauled down and re
placed by the Austrian colors There
were, however, no casualties."
Partial mobilization of the Russian
troops in the southern and southwest
ern districts was ordered by the Rus
sian war office last night, according
to dispatches received here.
It is argued in official circles that
although this action dangerously di
minlshes the chances of maintaining
European peace, it does not neces
sarily imply a rupture of relation1-,
between Austro Hungary and Russia
The hope is still expressed that some
European power m3 succeed in
bringing about an understanding be

and that country also had made no
