Missoula, Mont, July 19. Two hun
dred men were engaged today fighting
forest fires In a heavy stand or spruce
on Big River in the Flathead National
forest. Assistant forester Preston left
here Tuesday to take charge.
The fire Is the worst thus far de
veloped from a dozen burning- in vari
ous portions ot western Montana,
fanned by warm winds.
"We are facing a repetition of the
great fires of 1910." said district for
ester SIlcox, "unless we can stamp out
these fires before they run together."
Vienna, Austria, July 29. Upon "the
Intrigues of a malevolent opponent."
emperor Franz Joseph, in a manifesto
issued Tuesday night, blames the con
ditions which have brought about war
between AustriaSHungary and Servia.
He stated it had been his wish to ded
icate his declining years to peace, but
found providence had decreed other
wise. Thus, after long years of peace, the
emperor announced, he is now obliged
to grasp the sword.
.Hirers Sen la Ttngratefol. ,
The manifesto refers to the ingrati
tude of Servia for the support the em
peror's ancestors afforded to Servian
independence, how Servia for years
has pursued a path of open hostility
to Austria-Hungary: how Austrian an
nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
which injured no Servians rights,
called forth In Servia outbreaks of the
bitterest hatred.
"My government." continues the em
peror, "then enjoyed the handsome
privileges of the stronger, and with ex
treme consideration and leniency only
requested Servia to reduce her army
to a peace footing and promise to tread
the patch of peace and friendship."
Then recalling that it was Austrian
forebearance two years ago that en
abled Servia to reap the fruits of the
struggle against Turkey, the emperor
says
"The hope that Servia would keep
its word has not been fulfilled; the
flame of Its hatred for myself and ov
house has blazed always higher. The
design to tear from us by 4 force, in
separable portions of Austria-Hungary
has been manifested with ever-lessening
disguise."
Inciting: Youth To Treason.
The manifesto then dwells on the
"criminal propaganda which has ex
tended over the frontier, aiming at the
destruction of the foundations of or
der and loyalty in the southeastern
part of the monarchy and the lead
ing astray of growing youth and in
citing it to deeds of madness and high
treason."
It continues;
"A series of murderous atacks in an
organized and well carried out con
spiracy, whose fruitful success
wounded me and my loyal people to
the heart, forms the visible and bloody
track of those secret machinations
which were operated direct In Senvia."
.uecianng mat a stop must Be put
to these intolerable provocations, he
says:
"I must therefore proceed by force of
arms to secure those indispensable
pledges which alone can insure tran
quility to new states within and the
lasting peace without."
