BELGRADE TO BE ABANDONED Seat of Government Removed 60 Miles, to Kraguyevata. SERB PRIDE IS TOUCHED Austria Thought to Have Chosen Time to Administer Punishment When Powers Were Busy With Troubles at Home. LONDON. July 85. The darkest war cloud which has appeared on the Kuropean horizon since Germany sent warships to Agadir in 1911 has arisen within 4$ hours. The Servian government has refused to comply with Austria's demands, the most humiliating; ever asked or an Independent nation, for the expiation of the Sarayevo murders for which Austria holds anti-Austrian conspira cies in Servia responsible and for guarantees of future Rood behavior. Diplomatic Relations Severed. At 5:50 o'clock tonight, when the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum expired, the Servian premier handed to the Austrian minister at Belgrade Servla's reply. The minister immediately severed diplomatic relations and started lor Tiomc Thc contents of the note have not been revealed, but the Servian legation in London understands that it accepted ome of Austria's conditions and re jected others. Apparently Austria was resolved to have the whole bill paid or nothing. Now the vital question to Europe is whether Russia will come to the rescue of her little Slav brother, Involving the other powers and making of the war a dread struggle of Slav against Teuton for European supremacy. Russian Army Mobilizing. Reports from St. 1'etersburg say that the Russian army Is mobilizing but It Is to be remembered that Russia mobi lized several corps when Austria an nexed Bosnia and the German Emperor, stepping to the side of his ally, as was said. "In shining armor." put a veto on Russian intervention. Austria and Servia are both mobiliz ing, but the silence of nil the dis patches on the subject of military preparation indicates clearly chat an Ironclad censorship has been estab lished in both countries. The Servians have decided not to attempt to defend Belgrade, the garri son having already been withdrawn, according to Vienna reports, and the seat of government removed from Bel grade to Kraguyevata, a strong strate gic point SO miles to the south. Pride of Serbs W ell Kiowa Servis's refusal to humiliate itself to the extent its big neighbor has dic tated was not unexpected. The Serbs have been proud since their success in the late Balkan war, and the govern ment which yielded to such demands aa Austria's could not last; even the dynasty would be imperilled. Servla's little ally. Montenegro, seems deter mlred to cast Its lot with Its cousin in war. Servian partisans abroad advance the theory that Austria has made up her mind to dispose of her neighbor, which has long been a thorn in her side, and has chosen to strike a deci sive blow at a moment when the na tions of the triple entente are handi capped by home troubles Russia with a great strike. France with a political upheaval and Great Britain with a threatened civil war in Ulster. BrlUN Sympathy With Austria. England shows no enthusiasm over becoming embroiled in a war which might prove a great calamity in her Interests. As far as opinion can be gathered amid the paralysis which overcomes all British political activi ties over Sunday, sentiment of the run of the people here trends toward Aus tria, although Britain Is allied with Russia and France. This is based on the belief that Servian Intrigues for under mining Austria by a pan-Slav move ment have been so open that no nation could tolerate them, and in the present (Concluded on Page i.) ARMY OF 2,000,000 AT AUSTRIA'S CALL PEACE FOOTING IS ESTIMATED AT 390,000 SOLDIERS. Reserve Force Includes All Abie Bodied Men From 18 to 21, Male Population Serving in Field. VIENNA, July 25. (Special.) Aus tria has 390.000 soldiers upon whom to call to safeguard what Its statesmen believe to be its own interests. These figures have to do with the peace footing of the Austro-Hungarian army. In time of war the Emperor King can call 2.000,000 men of all arms into the field, and this estimate takes no account of the Landwehr and Iand sturm, corresponding roughly to the National Guard of the United States or the territorial army of England. This reserve force includes all able bodied men between the ages of IS and 21 and between the ages of 32 and 42, the male population generally between the ages of 21 and 32 being required to give military service, two years in infantry, three in cavalry and artil lery and four in the navy, besides serv ice in the reserves, bringing the total number of years generally up to 12.

DEMOCRATS LIKELY TO RETAIN SENATE Majority, However, May Be Reduced DEFEAT OF FOUR EXPECTED Republicans Count Chamber lain's Scalp Among Others. TARIFF VOTES UNPOPULAR Western Members "Who Followed Wilson When They Might Have Won Concessions by Independ ent Stand Are Vulnerable. OREGONIAN" NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 25. In all probability the Democrats will retain control of the United States Senate for another two years, though their majority in the up per branch of Congress may be reduced as a result of the election next No vember. The Democrats today control the Senate by a majority of ten, and to wrest control from the party in power, the Republicans must hold their present strength and defeat not fewer than six Democrats whose terms ex pire March 4 next. The Senate today consists of 53 Democrats. 42 Republicans and Sen ator Polndexter, of Washington. The terms of 32 Senators expire March 4, 1915, and of this number 17 are Re publicans and 15 are Democrats. Ten Are la Solid South. To control the next Senate, the Re publicans must hold all 17 seats they now have, and must defeat at least six of the 15 Democrats who are up for re-election. When it is discovered that ten of the 15 hail from states of the Solid South, it is evident that nothing short of a miracle can wrest control of the Senate from the hands of the Democrats at the coming election. Republican campaign managers feel reasonably certain of defeating four Democratic Senators, Messrs. Chamber lain, of Oregon; Newlands, of Nevada; Smith, of Arizona, and Thomas, of Col orado. Each of these Senators voted for the passage of the Underwood tariff bill after having denounced that bill from the floor of the Senate. is detrimental to the interests of their respective states.

Hlnson, for more than four years pastor of the White Temple, has tendered his resignation from that pastorate, and it will be acted upon by the deacons of the church, probably some time this week. Rumor that his resignation was In the hands of the trustees of the church was abroad Friday and arrangements were pending for a public announce ment of it today. The official an nouncement, however, probably will not be made now until the deacons have taken action one way or the other upon the pastor's resignation. Members of the board of trustees yesterday declined without exception to discuss the matter and no forecast was made as to the probable action of the deacons, although the report was made in some quarters that the resig nation would be accepted. The church law calls for three months' notice In a matter of this nature, and should the deacons accept, It still will be several weeks before Dr. Hlnson actually va cates the pulpit. Mr. Hlnson Won't Talk. Dr. Hlnson himself declined to dis cuss his resignation yesterday and re fused to deny or confirm the state ments that were abroad concerning it. His secretary, likewise, hesitated to discuss It and finally msde a point blank denial. Intimating ut the fact of Dr. Hinson's leaving tomorrow for his Summer vacation probably led to the report. Dr. pinson is to leave for his vaca tion after today and in his absence the pulpit will be occupied by Dr. J. Q. A. Henry, who was pastor In the White Temple a number of years ago.
