BALKAN TROUBLE AGAIN MUDDLED

By United Press Leased Special Wire.

LONDON, Nov. 3.—Russia's refusal to recognize the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria has again muddled the Balkan situation. Not only has Russia's attitude disturbed Europe's chancellor, but it is also likely to terminate the friendship between Russia, Austria and Germany, and it is likely that from now on each country will play its own game regardless of what the other may do.

The willingness of France and England to see the smaller states antagonize Austria, and to go to war if necessary, has led to rumors that these two countries will support the smaller countries in the struggle.
