OIL MAY YET BE POD
ON THE TROUBLEI
WATERS.
London, July 27.—There Is lit
tle change in the Austrian-Servlan
situation today.. Some officials here
believe that the German Emperor,
who returned from his northern
cruise this morning, will throw his
great influence m the balance for a
peaceful settlement of the quarrel.
Another factor in favor of a peace
ful arrangement was that the Aus
trian Ambassador to Russia haa
shown a willingness to discuss mat
ters with the Russian Foreign Min
ister.
It was reported this morning that
Austria wont move against Bel
grade until tomorrow.
Outside of Austria and Germany,
the reply sent by Servia is regarded
as fair. It grants all the demands
a sovereign state could. It Is point
ed put, however, that there is little
use in Servla’s asking for media
tion, as Austria has declared the
matter is strictly between her and
Servia. In this contention, Austria
Is backed by Germany and Italy, her
partners in the Triple Alliance.
War Preparations Go Forward.
All Europe, in the meantime, Is
credited with a determination to
stand aside, unless she Is forced
Into s. fight, but she Is getting her
warships ready for any eventuality.
Leaves of absence to sailors have
been cancelled. The warships be
gan coaling yesterday, and expect
ed to be ordered to the North Sea.
Italy In Role of I’eace-Maker.
Rome, Italy, July 27.—The Ital
ian government today informed Sir
Edward Grey, the British Foreign
Minister, that It would accept Eng
land's invitation to join In a media
tion conference, in an effort to pre
vent an Austro-Servlan war.
Servians Fired on Austrians.
Vienna, July 27.—Servian troops
on board a steamer on the rfver
Danube today, fired on a company
of Austrian soldiers. The latter
returned the fire, and an engage
ment of some Importance followed.
It is thought here that the re
ported fighting referred to was the
clash which occurred yesterday near
Semendrm, 24 miles south of Bel
grade, where some

been fired upon from the Servian
side of the Danube.

with dishonesty, and lets It be plain
