Austria and Russia on verge of strife
Saint Petersburg January 29 The present state of affairs between Russia and Austria is described as extremely delicate. The war party is active in Hungary while Russia lists 1,800,000 men in service. The dispute centers on Albania's borders with Scutari and Janina, with Russia recognizing an agreement allowing Albanian control of the fortresses but demanding guarantees for nearby Montenegrin and Greek populations. Russia claims Prizren Taksu and Ipek as Serbian, a stance that widens disagreements with Austria. Officials fear Austria will press further, while Moscow expects a conciliatory Austrian shift.
