London, July 29. —Austria formally declared war on Servia. With hostilities already in progress and mediaton given its death blow, these were the outstanding developments of the day in the Balkan situation; Vienna government decides that Servia shall not, by an eleventh-hour compliance with diplomatic technicalities, escape punishment for the Sarayevo assassinations and the persistent anti-Austrian propaganda carried on within her tjorders. War is declared and the military campaign for the chastisement of Servia is under way. Collapse of the mediation plan of Great Britain through its rejection by Austria and Germany. ’'Military measures and Austria’s present course of action as regards Servia cannot be Interrupted pending negotiations looking toward mediation,” was the reply of Foreign Minister Berchtold, sent from Vienna to Sir Edward Grey.

The two corps consist of thirty-two battalions of infantry, with a large number of Quick-firing machine guns, six regiments of cavalry, two regiments of field, artillefry and two regiments of the army service corps. The advance guard of this force already has occupied Belgrade. No Answer Satisfactory. Newspaper dispatch from Semlin on the Danube says the Servian parliament, after a prolonged debate, has tgreed to the acceptance of all the demands of Austria-Hungary. This is offset by statements that no answer from Servia now can be regarded as satisfactory. Admiralty office at Berlin orders the concentration of the German fleet in home waters. , Efforts of the powers not directly concerned are now directed toward localizing the conflict. This can be done, it is thought, if Austria can be Induced to forego the opportunity for territorial conquest and to that end the influence of the German emperor will be sought. Nations Prepare for War. Preparations for war. proceeded on all sides. Even England’s battle squadrons have all been mobilized in readiness for eventualities and the publication of official news as to the movements of British warships has ceased.

Vienna, July 29. —Official notice of a declaration of war was sent to the Servian government by Austria-Hun-gary. BERLIN — The German government returned an unfavorable reply io the British proposal for a conference of the ambassadors in London of the European powers, in an endeavor to bring about a settlement of the Au-stro-Servian difficulty. Germany makes the counter suggestion that negotiations for peace be conducted between (he cabinets instead of by a conference. '■>/ BERLIN — The German admiralty ordered the concentration of the German fleet in home waters. VIENNA — War between Austria and Servia is now in progress. The danger that it may spread j throughout the continent is causing I grave concern in all the capitals of ; Europe. | M. Jovanovitch, Servian minister to Vienna, has left for Belgrade, com- . pietely severing relations between the i two countries. These developments show the open- ' iag of hostilities, though without a j formal declaration of war: ' Servian troops 'blew up the railroad bridge spanning the Lave at Semlin. It is at Semlin that Austria has concentrated the greatest force for the invasion of Servia. Reports of Servians firing on an Austrian beat -bearing troops on the ' Danube are confirmed.

The governments of France and Italy have accepted the proposal that a conference be called with the object of finding a solution of the situation. “Hands Off,” Says Germany. BERLIN — That there will not be peace if it is to be obtained only t 1 rough Germany calling off Austria was further evidenced by what is undoubtedly the government’s warning which is printed in the Cologne Gazette. This article says: “The conflict is a personal matter which the Austrians will have to settle with the Servians. Let it alone I ci 11 reparation has been made for the Sarajevo murders and then let diplor. acy enter. ! “Should Austria, aigainst its European duties as well as good judgment, seek to turn reparation into political advantage the possibility is that we ! would reject them even now and then let the justified claims be heard. “The German people, and certainly the German government, will deal with this matter with the same uprightness and honorableness that It is doing today in the protection of its own national Interests, by covering the rear • f her ally. Until then, hands off.” TRAIN KILLS FOUR AUTOISTS Express Crashes Into Machine Stalled on Tracks Near Chicago.

All Europe believes he can, and at least will try, by virtue i of his and tremendous in- ; fluence to save Europe from a general war. . Whether or not the kaiser has the power imputed to him, today’s de- : spatches from Paris, London and St. | Petersburg show plainly that there is 1 a disposition to place the entire responsibility for war upon trim if he does not prevent such a catastrophe. This tendency of the triple entente to make Germany responsible for the j action of Austria is sharply resented j in governmental circles and by a por- i tion of the press. . 1 I ♦ofofofofofoo4o4o<o<o<o4o4' i SHORT CUTS TO THE NEWS i o o 40404040404004040404040404 Cassius C.
