Terms of Triple Alliance. According to the triple alliance trea ty Germany Is not bound to assist Aus tria if Austria strikes the first blow, but in cane the first shot is fired by a Sorvian soldier Germany is obliged, ac cording to the treaty, to side with her ally. In Unit case Itussin as a Slav nation would asslat Bervla. nnd the real inane would no longer be between Austria and Bervla, but between Ger many and Kussla. It is common belief that the Servlnn Crown Prince Alexander, now acting regeut during the king's illness, Is un der the influence of the war purty. Crown Prince Alexander of Bervla Is tho second son of King Peter, but be came hulr to the throne wheu bis Juts out Into Hungarian territory. Bem lln la ouly two or three miles away and la easily commanded by guna placed on the heights of Belgrade, as the land tying In the neighborhood Is very low. At the Intersection of the two rivers la War lalond. a marshy ex panse formed by the slit brought down by the Save. Around thla the Austrian transport are compelled to go to take troops down the river, but the guna of warships at Bemlln could easily bombard the city of Belgrade Itself. Bemlln baa a population of about IT,- 000, but la a town of no special Im portance, except aa a customs station and the starting point of military operations below the Danube. It la almost surrounded by low lying swampy ground, through which the railroad goes on to the southeast and crosses the Bave Into Belgrade at a point about three or four kilometers distant Temesvar is an Important railroad center and garrison town of about X 000 In habitants, about fifty moee east of the Danube aa It flows south through the plain of Hungary and aeventy-flve miles northeast of Bel grade. From it diverge several rail road lines, which could carry troops down to the Danube so aa to com mence an Invasion all along the north ern frontier of Bervla. One of these lines, striking off to the southeast, reaches the river, just after crossing the Roumanian frontier, at Verclorova. Another leads to the southwest and ends at Pancsova, on the Danube, only a few miles below Belgrade. A third, running southward, forks at Versocs, about twenty miles from the frontier. One branch runs to Pancsova, on the southwest, another east to Bazlas, on the Danube, about fort.v miles below Belgrade, and the third to Kubln. midway between Be) grade and Bazlas. Opposite Kubtn Is the Servian town of Semeudrla, formerly a fortress of great strength. It Is still a town of considerable Importance and, as the end of a branch line of railroad, could be used as the starting point of ma. neuvera to cut off Belgrade from the rest of Bervla.
