GERMAN ATTAGK ON SERVIA IMMINENT.
AUSTRIA CLOSES SWISS AND ROUMANIAN FRONTIERS.
ACTION ATTRIBUTED TO SECRET MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.
(Received September 12, 7.20 p.m.)
Athens, September 11. Reports from Buda Pesth state that a German attack on Servia is imminent.
A Geneva report states that Austria has closed the Swiss and Roumanian frontiers, and troops guard the crossings. This action is attributed to the secret movements of troops.
Prisoners taken by the Italians declare that Austria has exhausted her reserves, the last having been sent to Galicia, where 50,000 men were recently lost. An entire, army corps needed in Galicia was recalled from the Roumanian frontier. Four Austrian army corps are on the Servian and Roumanian frontiers, one along the Save, Drina, and Danube, the second in Banat, and the others in Transylvania.
