8TATE OF WAR EXI8T8.

German Proclamation Puts Country Under Martial Law. LONDON, July 31.—A dispatch from Berlin to Reuters Telegram Co. says that a state of war has been proclaim edln Germany.

The "state of war" proclaimed in Germany means In other words martial law under which the military authorities take charge of the situation in conformity with paragraph 68, of the constitution of the German empire. The kingdom of Bavaria, however, is excluded from the operation of today's proclamation and will have to issue a similar decree if it desires to do so, as it is an independent kingdom.

Today's proclamation was signed by the German emperor and Prussia. The "conversations" being carried on In St. Petersburg and Vienna simultaneously aroused another flicker of hope in London that the opportunity for mutual explanation may form a starting point toward an improvement in the situation.

A report stating that Prince Henry, of Prussia, had gone to St. Petersburg was regarded as a strongly favorable sign, as Emporer William's brother is believed to haye more influence over the emperor of Russia than any one else.

ALL RUSSIA WAR MAD.

People Carry on Great Demonstrations Throughout Night. ST. PETERSBURG, «July 31.—The population of the Russian capital kept awake throughout the night and the streets resounded with the din of patriotic demonstrations. A quick succession of special editions of the newspapers kept the excitement at boiling point.

Great processions paraded the streets, the demonstrators carrying banners and portraits of the emperor. Loud cheers were shouted for the emperor and the army.

Impromptu meetings were held in all parts of the city and the suburbs and the orators roused their auditors to an unprecedented frenzy of enthusiasm.

Striking scenes were witnessed at the mobilization offices, whither people of all classes flocked to register their names.

The tension of feeling was so great that utter strangers on the street in their patriotic excitement greeted and embraced one another.

The seriousness of the situation appeared to be fully realized.

BATTLE REPORTS VAGUE.

Authentic Details of Austro-Servian Warfare Are Lacking. LONDON, July 31—Dispatches from Nlsh, in Servia, and from Vienna today told of encounters between Austrian and Servian troops on the frontiers but authentic details of the fighting were lacking. It seems certain that conflicts between the frontier guards have occurred but military men here point out that stories of fighting with heavy losses, such as are said to have occurred at Fotcha. are absurd as it would be impossible for the Servians in the time at their disposal to cross the Drlna and advance twenty miles within Austrian territory.

VIENNA DEMANDS ACTION.

Arch Duchess Maria Theresa applied to Emperor Francis Joseph for permission to be enrolled as Red Cross nurse.

Vienna was overflowing today with people who had deserted the summer resorts and were hastening to their homes.

Germany Puts Ban on Sending Out of Foodstuffs. BERLIN, July 31.—The German federal council today issued a decree prohibiting exports of grain, flour, foodstuffs, meats, animal products, automobile trucks, motorcycles, petroleum, coal tar and coil oils. This goes into effect immediately.

Committee Announces Temporary Suspension of Business. LONDON, July 31—The chief reason for the unprecedented action of the London stock exchange committee in suspending business today was the fact that the system 'of credit had practically been broken down and it was impossible to carry on business in the ordinary way. This situation did not arise through over-speculation but because bankers could not collect margins which had been gradually shrinking, while at the same time the continent continued to pour stock into London.

Bankers here had been trying for days past to get their customers to take up this stock, but the impossibility of finding cash and the Inability to sell the securities caused credit-
