SHATTER PEACE HOPES

GLOOMY OFFICIAL DISPATCHES TO STATE DEPARTMENT. Government Will Supervise the General Exodus of Europeans, But Will Object to Enrollment of Citizens. Washington, July 31.—Gloomy dispatches to the state, w r ar and navy departments received from American officials in Europe shattered the hope that the European war woultf be confined to Austria and Servia. Without exception the messages pointed to the Immediate outbreak of a general war between the powers of Europe. State department officials, in the absence of Secretary Bryan, were unwilling to comment on the trend of events. All during the day messages poured in from the European capitals. These were held from the public pending the return of Mr. Bryan. A general exodus of Russians, Germans, French, Greeks, Servians, Austrians and Italians from the United States to their home firing lines Is anticipated by the state department. In case of a general war and the Issuance of a proclamation of neutrality steps will be taken by this government to supervise the exodus and preserve order." The state department does not challenge the right of foreign nations to call back their reservists, but objection will probably be made if there is an attempt to enroll foreigners who have become naturalized. This would come under the neutrality laws. Austria has already established a headquarters for her American reservists in Washington, in charge of Commander Maximilian Burstyn, naval attache of the Austrian embassy. It Is expected that 200,000 Austrians will return to the colors from this country. Others of the embroiled nations are expected to open reservist stations in several American cities. The home governments are offering to refund the traveling expenses of those who return and will furnish funds to those without passage money. Simon W. Straus of Chicago, president of tlie American Thrift society, has asked the protection of the United States for his wife and three children who are at Marienbad. They are without passports and Mr. Straus tears they may be held in Austria through the war period. The state department cabled its consul at Carlsbad to go to Marienbad and protect the Straus family.
