Virtual Declaration of Wa Notwithstanding this humiliating surrender, which was more than ku- rope expecied of the proud little na- tion, the Austrian government today | gave the Servian minister his pass- | ports which may be construed as a vir- tual declaratipn of war. ! Austria committed an act-of war | by arresting the chief of the Servian general staff, General -Putnik, near ! Budapest, but he was soon released by the cmperor's direct command. ! A formal declaration of war is mot expected because Servia is not a pacty | to the Hague convention, which re- quires this. The suspension of all par- liamentary and judicial institutio: has been decreed in Austria, and an ironclad censorship has drawn. a cor- don of secrecy around the country so that the outside world is in complete ignorance of everything ~happening there, except what -the government wants the world to know. Austrian Armies May Be Moving. Even now the Austrian armies may be closing in upon Servia and launch- ing a sudden blow, as Japan did wten she sent her fleet against the-Russian ships without warning. S While Austria annotnces a “partial obilization,” the Austrian ambassa- dor at London has issued a significant notice to all Austrians liable for ac- tice service to return home. The only possibility of averting war at the ele: - enth hour which Austria recognizes is that Servia shall reconsider her reply to the Austrian note and bow to ail the demands. Even then Austria pro- poses to exact payment for all her ex- penses in connection with her militzry | measures, What Will Russia Do? The question as to whether Russia will take up arms to save her Slav protege from a crushing blow is tae erucial feature of the situation «n| Which the peace of all Europe hinges.
