WOMEN, TOO, PATRIOTIC Indication Given Countrymen Will Finance Return of Volunteers. Editor Sees Possibility of Avoiding Conflict. SAN FRANCISCO, July 26. (Spe cial.) Thousands of Servians of San Francisco are anxiously awaiting a dec laration of war between their native country and Austria. They nre long ing for the opportunity to take arms against their ancient enemy and de clare the time Is opportune for a "final auppresslon" of Austria. All day today the leading spirits of the local Servian colony held informal conferences. The latest phases of the European situation were eagerly dis cussed. Probabilities of war were greeted with smiles and hearty hand shakes. It was the opinion of those who Fathered at the Servian headquarters that in event of hostilities a formid able force of enthusiastic Servians could be recruited quickly In this city, and that-Servians from throughout the state would come to San Francisco to Join the volunteers. The Servians of San Francisco also Indicated today they would raise funds for the transportation of the volun teers to the fatherland. This spirit of patriotism was equally manifest among the women of the Ucal Servian col ony. Many of them offered to assist In the collection of funds and the prep aration of extra clothing Tor the vol unteers. M. Vevtlch. editor of the Servian Herald, who was today the center of enthusiastic groups of his fellow countrymen clamoring for the latest news, was of opinion there might not be war. "Russia would be forced to back up Servia." said Yevtich. "and Germany would naturally take up the cause of Austria. Russia is growing, and Is today one of the most powerful na tions in Europe). The defeat of Ger many would mean the partition of Aus tria, and Austria does not want to lose her identity as a nation." CONFLICT IS HELD BEGUN ntlnued From First Psb. lster of Finance will raise 65.OU0.O0O for the governments immediate re quirements, and adds that negotiations between the powers for the localizing of the conflict will continue. In diplomatic circles there Is a feel ing of optimism that these negotia tions will be successful, and It was said by one diplomat today that "France has no Intention to expose herself too much on Servla's behalf." Baron Glesl von Oieslingen, the Aus-tro-Hungarian Minister to Servla, who left Belgrade last night on the break ing off of diplomatic relations, arrived here today. The imperial decree Issued yesterday (jives the government enormous powers to insure the secrecy of its measures. The authorities are entitled to open all letters. Only telegrams approved by the censor can be dispatched to any point. Newspapers publishing details of military preparations or movements can be suppressed. All the roads are guarded by sentries with orders to use their arms on any person who falls to top when commanded. Servians Intensely Patriotic. The prospect of war is not regarded bere as child's play. The Servians put 400,000 men In the field during the Balkan wars. Both officers and men are passionately pa triotic. It Is expected that Servla will attempt to hold the front along the Danube und the Drina with only a weak force, while the greater part of the army will be concentrated In the cen tral district, probably near Nish or Kraguyvett. and another force in Novl pazar, which will be destined for of fensive operations against Bosnia. According to rumor, the first encoun ter between Austria and Servla has oc curred near Semendrla, on the Danube 14 miles southeast of Belgrade. Some vessels conveying Austrian infantry were said to have been fired on from the Servian side of the Danube and to have returned the fire. ;.neral Radomlr Putnlk, chief of the Servian general staff, who was ar rested shortly after 10 o'clock last night at Kelenfoeld, near Budapest, while on his way to Belgrade, Is still a prisoner. He profrssed great surprise at his ar rest, pleading ignorance that a state of war existed.. He refused to enter a motor car, but eventually was taken to military headquarters. Four others in civilian clothes, who are believed to be Servian staff officers, were arrested at the same time. General Putnlk's daugh ter, who accompanied him, was sent to a hotel.

Servla's reply to the Austrian ultimatum Is JelTeZi to the -publication in its official Journal, on the front page, of the formal declaration submitted by the Austrian government, condemning the subversive propaganda and deploring its fatal consequences; regretting the participation of bervlan officers In this propaganda: repudiating any further Interference with Austro Hungarian interests, and warning all Servians that rigorous pro ceedings will be taken In the future against any persons guilty of such machinations. Second Servla agrees to communicate this decision to the army in the form of an order of the day. Third It promises to dissolve those societies which may be con sidered capable of conducting Intrigues against Austria. Fourth Revision of the laws governing the press. Fifth Dismissal from the army and navy of officers, and the re moval also of civilian officials whose participation In an anti-Austrian propaganda may be proved. The Servian government, however, protasts agalnft Austrian officials taking part in the inquiry. Sixth The Servian government asks for an explanation as to Just what part the Austrian officials are to be called upon to take In the Inquiry into the Sarayevo plot, and it is announced that Servla can only admit such participation as would be in accordance with Interna tional law and good neighborly relations. Seventh To sum up, Bervla accepts all the conditions and de mands of Austria, and makes reservations only regarding the partici pation of Austrians in the inquiry. It does not give its formal refusal to this point, but confines itself to asking explanations. Finally, If the Austrian government finds this reply Inadequate, Servla appeals to The Hague, tribunal and to the powers which signed the declaration of 1909 relative to Bosnia and Herzegovina. "The Servian government," the note says, "cannot be held responsible for manifestations of a private character, such as are common in all lands. The Servian government has been painfully surprised by the statements connecting perioni in the kingdom with the Sarayevo outrage. It expected to be Invited to co-operate in the investigation of the crime and was ready to prove by deeds the earnestness of Its action against all persons concerning whom convictions should be made without regard to situation, or rank." Further on the note says: "The government of Servla condemns all propaganda directed against Austria-Hungary, namely all aspirations to detach from the Austro-Hungarian monarchy territories which form a part thereof and sincerely deplores the lamentable consequence of such criminal actions. It regrets that certain Servian officers and officials, accord ing to the Austrian communication, have taken part in these."

KAISER MAY STOP WAR GERMAN EMPEROR IS HURRYING BACK TO BERLIN. Localise Conflict, Is Attitude of Na tion, and Restraining Russia Is Seen as Only Method. BERLIN, July 26. A semi-official statement says Germany has made it known to the European capitals, nota bly Paris and St. Petersburg, that she regards the conflict between Austria and Servia as the concern of those two states alone and It therefore must be localized. The endeavors of Germany, the state ment continues, are being directed to ward inducing the other powers to ac cept that standpoint, so that the peace of Europe may be preserved. "It needs little reading between the lines to discern the warning of an European war If another state inter feres," a German diplomat said today. "The efforts which the peace-loving powers are making or planning must be addressed to St. Petersburg, where it is possible they will be of some avail. . , "It Is useless to approach Vienna. Any attempt to deflect Austria from her settled course Is doomed to fail ure." Emperor William is on his way to Berlin. It Is believed his influence in the crisis, as in the critical days of the Moroccan conferences, will be thrown into the scale with peace.
