New York Times 100 years ago today, December 10, 1912:
King of Rumania Declares That His Country's Army Is Ready.
VIENNA, Dec. 9.— Die Zeit learns that Servia's demands at the coming peace conference will include the whole of Northern Albania, and, as this will lead Austria to define her counter-demands, a decisive phase in the Austro-Servian difference will soon be reached.
A dispatch from Semlin, opposite Belgrade, to The Reichspost says that all classes of Servians subject to war draft have been summoned to join the colors within twenty-four hours. Many work-shops and factories in Servia are busy making Winter clothing for the army. To the soldiers returning to Servia from the Balkan campaign only a short furlough is allowed. The officers receive none.
It is announced that the renewal of the Dreibund is for six years, and that it would have been automatically renewed for the same period if no notice of expiration had been given. This fact gives significance to the renewal of the compact at the moment of a serious international crisis.
