Czar Mobilizes His Entire Army, Defying Kaiser.

Ham to nod his head and war will begin. Germany’s Position Stated. In justification of what It is about to do the foreign office gave out a formal statement of its position. It Indicates that the government, laying all the blame on Russia, Is about to declare war. The statement Is: “Germany has taken decisive steps at St. Petersburg, Paris and other European capitals within the last hour, the results of which will determine war or peace. "Germany has faithfully kept the peace, and the reports of mobilization of German troops been premature. Germany has made no war move. The only steps taken have been in the direction of peace. "Now the fatherland must decide upon measures calculated to meet the dangerous situation resulting from Russia’s activity on the frontier.” England Despairs of Peace. London, July 31.—The last ray of hope of avoiding a general European conflagration seems to have vanished. Apparently nothing short of divine Intervention can stay the sword now unsheathed.

Great Britain has been dragged into the imbroglio, much against her will, but, accepting the Inevitable, this government has acted swiftly. Secret mobilization of troops, both regular and irregular, is now being carried out. All army reservists —that Is, the men who have finished their time, but who are still on the reserve list —have been summoned by wire to Join their colors. Many of them already are entraining for their regiments, thousands will do so before the end of the week, and by Monday next the British army will be at full war strength. Options on Steamers. Other important moves included the rushing of coal on day and night schedules to the principal naval ports. The government also exercised its right of option on tbe latest and greatest Cunarder, the Aquitania, for transport purposes, and warned the Cunard line not to let her depart agajn until leave had been given. The Aquitania now lies at Liverpool, where she recently arrived from New York. Other English shipping lines, including the Furness company, have been similarly warned not to allow their boats at present In British ports to depart without leave. Takes Thousands of Horses. The war office exercised its right to take all the horses belonging to Messrs. Thomas & Tilling, the great firm of carriers, numbering several thousands. Work at Woolwich arsenal is proceeding with feverish haste, day and ni*ht, while all big government supply concerns are equally active. Two men accused of military espionage were arrested at Freshwater, Isle of Wight. One wore the uniform of a foreign army officer. Paris Gets Hopeful News. Paris, July 31.—A dispatch received here from Berlin states that Germany

has decided to accept in principle mediation and enter Into conversations with England, Russia and France regarding the possibility of averting a general war and localizing the conflict between Austria and Servia. Louis J. Malvy, French minister of the interior, made the following announcement to a number of deputies: “We have received from Germany news which we did not dare to hope. The situation is better than has generally been supposed. It is permissible to foresee negotiations that may enter into a way leading to a favorable solution.” Progress of Austria’s Invasion. Semlin, Hungary, July 31. —The Aus-tro-Hungarian army has crossed the Danube at a point about thirty miles east of Belgrade and the river Save, ten miles south of Belgrade. Belgrade itself has been captured and is now occupied by Austrian troops. The Austrian force which invaded Servia at Semindria is advancing along the road which leads to Osipanica and ultimately to Nish, the present seat of the Servian government. The occupation of Belgrade was carried out without serious difficulty. The Invading troops crossed the river partly by means of remnants of the railway bridge, which was blown up by the Servians, and partly by a pontoon bridge constructed under cover of the railway bridge.

Servians Driven Back. As the Austrians approached the Servian capital from the south they met with some resistance, but this was overcome and the attacking force advanced up a steep hill with, courageous ardor, driving the Servians before them. The Servians retreated, partly along the road leading to Groca and partly along the road leading to Popovica. The losses on both sides appear to have been comparatively light. In the encounters which took place around the capital the entrance of the Austro-Hungarian troops was preceded by the flight of most of the remaining Inhabitants. Some of the inhabitants, however, have chosen to remain and perfect order prevails under the invaders. Results of Battle at Fotcha. Vienna, July 31— Reports reach here that 2,000 Servians are held as prisoners of war as a result of the first big battle, which was fought on the Bosnian frontier near Fotoha. Six hundred Servians and 200 Austrians were killed in this engagement, according to the official figures from the front. It seems certain that the Servians are holding the Danube line only with a weak force and are massing their main forces between Kragujevac and Krushevatz on the line of the Morava river.

Mrs. Wakefield Found Guilty. New Haven, Conn., July 31.—The jury in the case of Mrs. Bessie Wakefield, charged with the murder of hehusband, agreed on a verdict of murder In the second degree, carryin* a Penalty of imprisonment for life.

Lafayhtte.—Col. Richard P.

Hymera.—ln the closing session of the annual conference of the Methodist church of the Vincennes district, Plainville was selected lor the 1915 meeting.

CHRIST’S TRIUMPHAL ENTRY. Mark 11:1-11—Aug. 2. "Itc/oice greatly. O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh unto thee!’’—Zechariah 9.9. ArfOHN THE BAPTIST’S message 4 was, “The Kingdom of Heaven ■ is at hand.” This same message Jesus bade His disciples carry from village to village throughout Palestine. It was the burden of His preaching and the theme of His parables. Finally, at the close of His ministry, the Kingdom was offered to the Jewish nation. Today’s lesson tells of the formal offer made by Jesus and of the neglect of the Jews as a people to accept it. His own nation rejected Him, and five days later crucified Him. But at Pentecost a few who had received Him were begotten of the Holy Spirit and became the nucleus of Spiritual Israel, in preparation for the glorious Kingdom work to be accomplished at His Second Advent. On the evening preceding the story of this lesson Jesus and His disciples were at Bethany, guests of Lazarus, Martha and Mary. This was the Lazarus whom He

had recently awakened from the death sleep. There was a special feast, prepared by these, who loved Jesus so dearly. This feast came at the close of the Sabbath. The next morning corresponded to our Sunday. Preparatory to

presenting Himself as King. Jesus sent two of His disciples for an ass’s colt, telling them where to find 1L and Instructing them to say that it would be returned later. Meantime a multitude had collected. It had long been the custom for the kings of Israel to ride to their coronation upon an ass; and the multitude seemed to realize that finally Jesus was ready to assume the office of King. This was the first time Jesus had put Himself forward. Hitherto, when they had sought to make Him a King, He had withdrawn Himself, realizing that the time had not yet come. Now, He was preparing for the triumphal ride to the capital of the nation as its King. We may be sure that the Apostles’ hearts thrilled as they thought of the nearness of their Master’s glory and of their own share in it; for they did not realize the full import of His declaration that He must be crucified, and then depart to a far country, even Heaven itself, and later return to establish His Kingdom. Jesus, however, was fully aware that the presentation of Himself as King was a formal matter, fulfilling the prophecy and leaving Israel without excuse. He knew that He would be despised and rejected, and that His own people would hide their faces from Him in shame.—lsaiah 55:3. “Ths Stones Would Cry Out.” When the ass arrived, Jesus mounted and the procession began. The people were familiar with the Messianic prophecy which declared, “Shout. O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King Cometh unto thee; He is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass.” They were also familiar with the shout they gave and with the responses—recorded by the different evangelists. But some criticised the shouting, and sent Jesus word to rebuke His disciples. He replied that a great prophecy was being fulfilled. The Prophet Zechariah bad said. "Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem”; and if the multitude had failed to shout, the very stones would have cried out.

The First Palm Sunday. The record tells us that as the Master rode along, many strewed their garments in the way, as a mark of respect. Others brought flowers, ferns and palm branches. It was a jubilant procession, fulfilling Zechariah's prophecy. Yet to Jesus it was sad. At the

gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your House is left unto you desolate; and verily I say unto you, Ye shall see Me no more until that Day [nearly nineteen centuries later] when ye shall say. Blessed is He that cometh in the name of Jehovah!” * Jesus realized that that day was a turning point with the Jewish nation, and that their rejection of Him meant that they would be cast off from Divine favor, except a few who would become His disciples. For centuries tbe highly favored nation of Abraham’s natural seed would be in distress. Meantime God’s favor would be extended to the Gentiles to gather out a faithful company to be joint-heirs with Jesus and the faithful Jews; and not until this Kingdom class should be received to glory would Israel have fellowship again with God. St Paul also calls attention to the fact that Israel's rejection Is not permanent— Romans 11:25-32.

Congressman Fred S. Jackson, Embodiment of “Kansas Spirit”

CONGRESSMAN FRED S. JACKSON of Kansas typifies the state. He represents the best that Kansas has produced. He.ls the embodiment of the “Kansas spirit.’’ He is the man who hushed forever the Insinuation, “You can get anything yon want in Kansas.” He made the laws of that state mean jnsJt what they say, and, in a sense, that justifies the use of the term. It is universally conceded now that Kansas is “dry.” Fred Jackson believes in bis state, In her people, in law and the order that law is Intended to promote everywhere. There are thousands of people in the Sun-.

flower State who are looking toward the day when Jackson will be their gov« ernor, because not all the work that requires strong, red blooded men has been completed in that famous western state. On the afternoon of the sixth day of the Lincoln Chautauquas he will discuss the subject. “You. 1 and Uncle Sam,” which is merely another way of saying “government by the people.” In the evening he will answer the widely asked question, “What Is the Kansas Spirit?” Both events are exceptionally Important because in each case a man of unusual qualifications and spirit is to discuss a subject that Involves the happiness and success of every person under the stars and stripes. But, withal, Mr. Jackson’s remarks will not be made in the spirit of the politician nor yet in the cold manner of the philosopher. He is a gripping, interesting, delightful speaker who makes his subject as live as the people who hear him. An hour is but a moment in length when Jackson is on the platform in the Chautauqua tent
