AUSTRIA AND SERVIA.

With the recollection of the Sarajeva murdore still freeh in our minde, it is by no means easy to take an unbisesed view of the relations between Austria and Servis. That Austria has full right to demand the punishment of the murderers of the Archduke and Archduchess there can be no question. But there is very evidently a doubt in the minds of many well-informed politicians in Europe as to whether Austria is not making a stalking-horse of the Barajevo Criminal Cowardice.' incident; whether-even had that not taken place--she would not, sooner or later, have made such demands of Servis as were calculated to bring about war.
