It is true that Austria-Hungary has not yet come to an agreement with the bellicose Serbs, neither are there any well- founded reports of demobilisation; nevertheless, the Paris Bourse, which is regarded as an excellent international barometer, showed obvious signs of in creased steadiness on Thursday, chiefly in con sequence of rumours that Russia, France, and Eng land were using their combined good offices at Bel grade. The following are the chief points of inter est contained in yesterday’s despatches: The Servian Minister at Constantinople has as sured the Porte and the Diplomatic Corps that Ser- via desires no war, but is hopeful of a speedy under standing. The Servian Cabinet met, under the presidency of King Peter, on Thursday, discussed the prospective att.tude of the Government towards the new steps anticipated from Austria, and the eventual military measures to be taken in case the reports of Aus trian mobilisation should prove accurate. The alarm ist reports in certain Austrian and Hungarian journals excite no particular anxiety in Belgrade. The issue of a mobilisation decree at Vienna is postponed, but may take place today (Saturday). Pre mier Wekerle has intimated confidentially to several Deputies that the Emperor Francis Joseph is still confident that war is avoidable. The new represen tations to be made to Servia by the Austro-Hun garian Minister at Belgrade have been postponed for some days. The Agence Havas reports from Belgrade that the Servian Government, after replying to the new representations to be made by the Austro-Hungarian Minister, will be disposed to yield to the suggestion:; of the Powers. It is even said that, if so advised by the Powers, Servia will demobilise. Replying in the House of Commons on Thursday to an enquiry respecting the proposed European Con ference, the Foreign Minister, Sir Edward Grey, said that the British Government had consistently been in favour of international agreement on the points at issue in the Near Eastern question, pre vious to the holding of a Conference. The negotia tions, he added, were still in progress, and it was inadvisable to make * any further statement at the moment. It is reported from Sofia that the Bulgarian Go vernment has asked Russia to use her influence with the aim of persuading the other Powers to recognise Bulgarian independence, since the question of com pensation has been settled. Montenegro, whose movements have lately been causing some anxiety, assures Turkey that she has absolutely no warlike intentions with regard to the Sandjak of Novi Bazar. The Turkish Minister at Cettinje has received a similar assurance from the Prince of Montenegro. Against this, however, comes a trustworthy report from Cettinje that a Monte- negrian brigade has been mobilised and will march against Spizza. An interpellation in the Hungarian Chamber of Deputies on Thursday created a remarkable scene. One of the speakers eulogised Germany’s attitude during the crisis. “Germany stands at our side,” he said, “and Emperor William supports us with true German loyalty.” At these words a great storm of cheering "broke out in all parts of the Chamber and was prolonged for several minutes. According to an authoritative report of yester day’s date from Sofia, the Bulgarian Government has caused a declaration to be made on its behalf in Constantinople that it will renounce its old claim for pecuniary compensation in respect of the rail way line from Varna to Rustchuk if the Porte con sents to the immediate recognition of Bulgaria’s in dependence. INTERNATIONAL IMMIGRATION CONFERENCE. Washington, March 18. The Italian Ambassador has made proposals to the State Department with respect to a contemplated International Immigration Conference, which should endeavour to settle the many vexed questions cent ring around world-wide immigration.

FIVE MILLION LETTtRS UNDELIVERED. Paris, March 19. Absolute chaos reigns at the head post office here in consequence of the strike. No fewer than five million letters are lying undelivered, without receiv ing the least attention. Nor is the trouble confined to Paris, for seemingly all central France is similarly affected; while the strike has extended to most of the great cities. The hastily enrolled military tele graphists have proved themselves unable to cope with their task. Many thousand telegrams have been forwarded by railway across the frontiers, thence to be despatched to their destinations. The railway postal officials who until now had faithfully handled the mails between Paris, Calais, and Dunkirk, have finally struck, and have been joined by their col leagues at Mezieres and Charleville. The telephone operators in the great building on Rue Gutenberg and at La Villette and Passy have deserted their posts, so that the instruments lie idle. In other offices only the head officials have stuck to their posts. There exists no hope of improvement in the paralysing situation, as th^ strikers decided at a meeting held yesterday to vigorously prosecute their campaign. The disorganisation and hindrance of business all over the country is indescribable. Later. Paris is absolutely cut o f from the outer world. During the whole of yesterday only 2,000 telegrams were despatched. The post offices, most of which are shut, refuse to accept registered letters. For eign mails are only forwarded in part. Soldiers have been requisitioned to act as postmen, with unsatisfactory results. Last night only ten wires were in operation. In the provinces the strike is spreading to a most serious extent. The news papers are greatly agitated over the situation, com menting sharply on the utter disorganisation of busi ness and social life caused thereby. Government action is anticipated for this morning, and is await ed with extraordinary excitement. The entire Re publican press asserts that in the event of victory attending the strikers it would be as bad as a re volution, as their victory would mean that trade unionism had the upper hand in national affairs. All constitutional authority would cease to exist. The country must decide whether it will tolerate such a condition. The Government must face two alter natives—either to crush this anarchy or to sacrifice their entire authority. Serious rioting occurred at the head post office yesterday, when improvised postmen about to start on their rounds were im peded by a huge crowd. Two hundred policemen and soldiers were necessary to escort the postmen out of the building. Delivery of letters is practically at a standstill BEGGAR MY NEIGHBOUR. LONDON PRESS DEMANDS THIRTY DREADNOUGHTS IN FOUR YEARS, TO COST 71 MILLIONS. (Frum our own correspondent.) London, March 19. The tone of the press this morning leaves no room for doubting that tne entire country is stirred to its depths by the naval situation. It is obvious that the exact provisions of the recently introduced Esti mates are only now becoming thoroughly under stood, and public opinion almost solidly declares them to be inadequate. Even the Radical journals are shrinking beneath the storm, while such a sober organ as the Daily Telegraph is fiercely attacking the Government. A long article appears in this morning’s issue of that journal, demanding that pro vision be made for the commencement of 30 Dread noughts in the next four years, for which an ap proximate sum of 71 millions sterling must be granted. This is declared to be the “irreducible mini mum” consistent .with the maintenance of the two- Power standard, and it is suggested that the enorm ous sum could be distributed over a period of six or seven years. The Admiralty is accused from all sides of having yielded against their better judgment to pressure from the “little Navyites.” The Standard learns that some days ago a petition, signed by a number of Peers and members of the Commons, was p^cesewfeed-to the Prime Minister, cal ling for a searching investigation into the present con ditions at the Admiralty and the naval administration in general. What the result was is not stated. The Government is doing, all in its power to avert pub lic attention from the Navy question, but with little success. It is no exaggeration to state that the country is in the throes of a naval crisis, and the rumours of a speedy General Election are cropping up again with renewed persistence. THE DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT. London, March 19. The debate on the Naval Estimates was continu ed yesterday, the vote under discussion being that for the effective strength of 128,000 men. Mr. Austen Chamberlain, Conservative member for East Worcestershire, said that the statements and assurances of the Government, had not dissipated the fears that were felt on his side of the House, nor had they convinced the Opposition that the steps necessary to meet the situation had been taken. The First Sea Lord had said not long ,ago that they might sleep calmly (“So you may!”, from the First Lord of the Admiralty). They would sleep more calmly if the Admiralty had not been caught napping. (Hear! Hear! from the Opposition). The Opposition was of opinion that the Govern ment had not realised the seriousness of the circum stances, and that their programme was not adequate to meet the demands of the situation. The two- Power standard was gone, and Great Britain’s su premacy at sea was endangered. Lieut. Bellairs, Liberal member for King’s Lynn, remarked that, when he looked back at the pro mises and assurances given in the German Reichstag, he could not place confidence in the last statements of Secretary of State v. Tirpitz. Mr. Lough, Radical member for West Islington, said the German people had taken no step unfriend ly to England, not even with regard to their fleet. Since their great ruler came to the throne, no Eng lishman could point to a single unfriendly act (A voice: “The telegram!”) Why harp upon a hasti ly written telegram ? He could quote many hasty utterances made by political leaders. The policy of the Government should be to cement the friendship between the two peoples more closely. After other members had spoken, the First Lord of the Admiralty, Mr. McKenna, said: “The ships that will now be laid down will be 30 To better than the ‘Dreadnought.’ We are certain of being nu merically superior in that type of ship. In March 1912 we shall be superior in a better type, and we shall be better able than Germany to build such ships.” (Continued on page 2.)
