SERAJEVO CRIME.
CONSPIRATOR’S RELEASE. The Belgrade correspondent of the Daily Express states: —Dobroslav Jevdjevitch, one of the four survivors of the student gang which assassinated the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand at Serajevo in 1914, says the world stands on the edge of a worse catastrophe even than the AVorid War. Jevdjevitch, who was released because he was only 16 years old at- the time of the Serajevo crime, is still lame owing to his mishandling in an Austrian prison. He says he is ready to repeat the Serajevo incident to-morrow if necessary. “We must fight on for the unity of my nation,” he says, “AVe were a small body of idealists and now all of us are bitterly disillusioned. The ideal of Yugoslav unity, for which we risked our lives, is as far away as ever. For the last six years, during which I was interned by the Yugoslav police in the same place as I was imprisoned by the Austrians from 1914-18. I was as much persecuted by the Yugoslav police as I had been by the Austrians.”
