It was known that the - Austro-Hungarian government had requisitioned the entire train service nd that private telephone In the dual monarchy had ceased.

The Montenegrin soldiery, evident Iy preparing to support their brother Serbs, also concentrated along the Bosnian frontier.

While Austria 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 calized, were getting ready for the greater war that must ensue in case Russia should intervene on behalf of the small Slav nation The state of the stock market in ( London showed that the situation was considered grave and the anxiety I was added to by the issue of orders to the British fleet at Portland to sail for a destination which w-as not I revealed to the public I In the meantime dispatches from I Vienna showed that the movement of the Austrian forces toward the Ser I vian frontier was proceeding steadily.

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 tween those two states The present mobilization order af fects onl the Russian frontier con tigous to Austria and not the Ger man frontier.
