The first ruling prince of modern Servia was Milosh Obrenovich; and the subsequent rulers have belonged either to the Obrenovich dynasty or to its rival the dynasty of Kara-George. King Peter, who came to the throne in 1903, is a member of the latter family. Scarcely had Servia won her freedom when the Greek war of independence broke out.
France promises to respect Belgian neutrality; Germany is doubtful whether any answer will be returned to this request. Austria declares its readiness to discuss the substance of its ultimatum to Servia. Fresh telegrams pass between the Kaiser and the Tsar. Germany presents ultimatum to Russia demanding that her mobilization should cease within 12 hours.
Under the very eyes, at least with the tacit sufferance of official Servia, the pan-Serb propaganda has meanwhile increased in scope and intensity; at its door is to be laid the latest crime the threads of which lead to Belgrade.
They applied it with a certain compunction, however, to the King of Servia, who came a few days after the Duke and Duchess: he was such a young King, and of such a little country.
Isn't it?" "Yes, my dear," said Mr. Murray hastily, as if anxious to cover up his wife's display of ignorance of the European situation. "Austria has been at war with Servia for some days, but now Germany has declared war apparently upon France and Russia." "But what has Germany to do with it, or Russia either, or France?"
Though my horse and I had done a good day's work, I determined to push on to Uibanya, for it seemed to be not much more than a two hours' walk; moreover, I had been warned of the bad reputation of the people in the village. I had heard it was not an uncommon trick with them to steal a traveller's horse in the night, and quietly ship him over the Danube into Servia.
We are still in the drainage basin of this river, and, when we have crossed the whole of Servia, passed over a flat mountain ridge and left Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, behind us and have come to another stream, even this is one of the affluents of the Danube.
Comacine work is frequently met with all down the eastern coast as far as Cattaro, as in Lombardy and the Venetian territory. At a later period we have many names of artists who crossed the sea in one direction or the other. In 1319 Uros II. of Servia sent Abiado di Dessislavo from Cattaro to make the silver altar at S. Nicola, Bari.
At the wall Oscar rose suddenly and greeted him in mockingly-courteous tones: "Good evening, my friend; it's a fine evening for a walk." Zmai drew back and growled. "Let me pass," he said in his difficult German. "It is a long wall; there should be no difficulty in passing. This country is much freer than Servia yes?" and Oscar's tone was pleasantly conversational.
You read Austria's demands from Servia in the paper this morning?" "I did," Norgate admitted. "No one in the world could find them reasonable." "They are not meant to be reasonable," the Comtesse pointed out. "They are the foundation from which the world quarrel shall spring. Russia must intervene to protect Servia from their hideous injustice. Germany and Austria will throw down the gage.
