London, July 25.—The darkest
war cloud which has appeared on
the European horizon since Germany
sent warships to Agadir in 1911 has
arisen within 48 hours.
The Servian government has re­
fused to comply with Austria’s de­
mands, the most humiliating ever
asked of an independent nation, for
the expiation of the Sarayevo mur­
ders for which Austria holds anti­
Austrian conspiracies in Servia re­
sponsible and for guarantees of
future good behavior.
At 5:50 o’clock tonight, when thé
Austro-Hungarian ultimatum expir­
ed, the Servian premier handed to
the Austrian minister at Belgrade
Servia’s reply. The minister imme­
diately severed diplomatic relations
and started for home.
The contents of the note have not
been revealed, but the Servian lega­
tion in London understands that it
accepted some of Austria’s condi­
tions and rejected others. Appar­
ently 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, in­
volving the other powers and mak­
ing of the war a dead struggle of
Slav against Teuton for European
supremacy.
Reports from St. Petersburg say
that the Russian army is mobilizing
but it is to be remembered that
Russia mobilized several corps when

’ R. WAYNE GREEN, Mgr.
Shedd, Ore., July 23.—The ampu­
tation of a leg was the result of an
automobile-motorcycle collision at
about 8 o’clock last night on a dusty
road three-quarters of a mile from
Shedd. Frank Workinger, age 21,
was riding the motorcycle following
an automobile. Blinded by the
dust, he was attempting to pass it
when he collided with the running
‘board of another automobile, being
driven in the opposite direction by
Bill Parker, of near Plainview. Both
vehicles at the time of the collision
were going at a good gait. Work-
inger’s left leg was terribly mashed
from four inches below the knee to
the ankle. He was rushed to the
’Albany hospital and the injured
limb was amputated below the knee.
Workinger lives on a farm four
miles west of Shedd and was bn his
way home at the time of the acci­
dent.—Albany Democrat.
