"A fateful hour hah fall<*n for Germany, Envfasas peoples everywhere are compelling us to our just defense. The sword has lieen forced Into our hands. *•1 hope that If my efforts at the last hour do not succeed In bringing our opiionents to see eye to eye with us and in maintaining' the peace wp shall with God's help so wield the sword- that we shall restore It to Its sheath again with honor.

TELEPHONIC COMMUNICATION ALSO CEASED. Ultimatums were sent to-day by Germany to France and Russia. Russia was or dered by Emperor William to stop mobilization within 12 hours expiring at noon, while France was given 18 hours to declare her attitude in certain contingencies. Italy probably will remain neutral as she regards the campaign of her allies, Ger many and Austria as an aggressive war in which she is not called on to intervene. King George made a final effort to maintain peace by telegraph to Emperor Nicholas of Russia. The Bank of England discount rate went up to ten per cent..to-day—the highest level it has ever reached. Continental banks also raised their rates. France was reported to have ordered general mobilization of her forces, as the pros pects of peace are thought hopeless. Strict censorship in European countries kept back news of military movements. Communication by telegram between England and France is interrupted, the Gov ernments being desirous of preventing leakage of information. Japan will not intervene unless British interests in the Far East are endangered. The German Ambassador was reported to have left St. Petersburg. London, Aug. I.—King George in n final effort to prevent the outbreak of a general European war and the meeting; of millions of men in armed conflict to-day at the eleventh hour sent a dispatch to Emperor Nicholas of Russia and his message was understood to contain an ultimatum appealing for preservation of pea<-e. Ills ma jesty's action was taken after an audience with Premier Asqulth at 2 o'clock this morning, when the war clouds ' were blackest. At the same time from Rome came the news, published In the Messagcro. that Italy had decided to remain neutral unless attacked. While tills Information was not confirmed, it was said in official circles to have "caused no surprise."' At the Italian embassy in Ix>ndon the belief was expressed that should Italy remain neutral, with the possi bility left open of her turning against her allies, Germany and Austrla-llunary, the hitter nation would be re luctant to embark on a general European war. TIME LIMIT EXPIRES AT NOON TO-BAY On the other hand, the fact stood out that Germany had taken a very firm attitude and had asked Russia to suspend the mobilization of her forces within a time limit of twelve hours, expiring at noon to-day. She also had asked France to define within eighteen hours the attitude she would assume in case of war by Germany and Aus tria against Russia. It was pointed out In authoritative circles that France's attitude could only lie that under tlio terms of her treaty with Russia she would be compelled to Intervene. German circles to-day showed considerable uneasjness all over the world. The German forces In China were being concentrated at Tslng-Tau, the German consul general left his post at Cape Town and German ships were Jirdered to seek neutral ports. In regard to the Far East, the Japanese ambassador In London said to-day that as ring as the warships belonging to the nations comiioslng the triple alliance remained at Tslng-Tau Japan would take no action against tliem, but should they attack British interests or should Tslng-Tau he attacked, a situation would arise which would be dealt with by Japan hi tlio spirit of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. FRANCE WOULD NOT BE ATTACKED BY GERMANY At the German emliassy reference was made to Gcrnjan mention of French neutrality In her note to the French government and It was said that this seemed to Imply that France herselr would not be attacked by Germany.

Communication between I'arls and Brussels was similarly Interrupted. In regard to the financial situation, the Hank of England, which was again called on to supply an unprece dented amount of gold, raised its rate to-day to 10 per cent., which is higher than It has been trace the Indian mutiny hi 18<17. Many hardy Americans still insist on obtaining passports from the United States emliassy, mainly for Ger many and France, In spite of warnings that their chances for obtaining transportation are slim. They declare the reason to be. In most cases, to get members of their families out of those countries, but some of them say they have Important business to transact. French Say There Is No Hope of Peace By Associated Press Paris, Aug. I.—At the French foreign olllce to-day officials declared they considered It would now be folly to rely on any hope of a peaceful outcome of the crisis. France's efforts at Berlin they said had failed and any glimmer of hope which had appeared liad been Immediately extinguished. i xiie conditions under which the diplomatic "conversations" continued to-day made It, In the French official ivicw, appear almost impossible to expect a satisfactory Issue and it was reluctantly admitted that war seemed to I be only • question of hours. 1 {Other War News Pages 5. 7 and 9) 14 PAGES. * POSTSCRIPT.
