Servia Will Not Disarm.

New York Times 100 years ago today, June 22, 1913:
Rejects Russian Advances — Troops Ready for Bulgars' Attack.
    SOFIA, June 21.— The Servian Minister to-day handed to the Bulgarian Government the reply of Servia to the Bulgarian note, rejecting the proposals for demobilization.

    BELGRADE, June 21.— The Servian Government is said to have decided to inform Russia that in view of the Bulgarian attitude in continuing the concentration of its troops on the River Vardar and demanding a joint occupation with Greece of the territory in dispute, a meeting of the Premiers of the Balkan States at St. Petersburg would be futile.

    VIENNA, June 21.— An attack by Bulgarian troops on the Servians and Greeks is expected on the River Vardar in Macedonia, according to reports in the Austrian newspapers. The Greek and Servian armies are co-operating, and the Servians are concentrating in fortified positions on the right bank of the river.
    Three brigades of Montenegrin infantry are advancing through Macedonia to join the Servian troops at the front.
