Servia Placates Austria.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 21, 1912:
Grants One Demand — An Ultimatum Was to be Sent To-day.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Thursday. Nov. 21.— The outlook between Austria and Servia has improved. Servia has given way in the affair of M. Prochaska, the Consul at Prisrend, and has agreed that Austria shall send an emissary to Prisrend to investigate the charges brought against the Consul by the Servian Government, which alleges that he incited the Albanians against the Servians and fired on Servian troops.
    "This solution of the Consulate dispute," says The Daily Telegraph's Vienna correspondent, "has caused the liveliest satisfaction, and has also quieted the excited public mind throughout the monarchy.
    "It can be said that Servia had tried the patience of Austria almost to the extreme limit, as yesterday (Tuesday) at Budapest an unalterable resolution was taken to wait no longer than Thursday at noon, and then at once to forward an ultimatum which, with a military demonstration, would have convinced Belgrade of the gravity of the Situation.
    "The well-armed Danube flotilla would have received orders to appear before Belgrade and remain there, until the Servian answer was received. Further delay on the part of Servia could not be permitted by Count von Berchtold, the Foreign Minister, in view of the excited state of feeling in the monarchy.
    "A question put to-day at the sitting of the Hungarian delegation by M. Nugy showed the general opinion. He declared that the attitude of the Servian military authorities toward an Austro-Hungarian Consul was revolting, and said no great power could suffer it without violent resentment."
    The Sofia correspondent of The Daily Mail telegraphs:
    "The Allies have definitely abandoned the idea of the partition of Albania. They will consent to Albanian autonomy. An autonomous administration will be set up by stages with the aid of the Balkan States."
