Austria Declares War on Servia. Russia’s Action May Precipitate General Conflict. British fleet is Ready. EUROPEAN CRISIS IN BRIEF CAUSES. Servia’s dream of a port on the Adriatic. Austria-Hungary’s part in shat tering this dream when it seemed pear realization in the late Bal kan war. The Servians’' ancient hate for Austria. The assassination oi Archduke Ferdinand, heir to the Austro- Hungarian throne, by a Servian. Austria’s desire of centuries— control of the Balkan peninsula. POSSIBILITIES. 1f Russia aids Servia, Germany and Italy would join forces with Austria, as parties to the Triple Alliance. Then as other members of the Triple Entente, France and Eng- land would have to aid Russia. Thus, a war with the six great powers of Europe arrayed against each other, might be witnessed. Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece might be expected to support Servia. Austria-Hungary has declared war on Servia. Official notification of the declara- tion of hostilities was sent to the Ser vian government by the Vienna gov ernment. It is reported that the invasion of Servia has already begun. Belgrade, the Servian capital on the Danube, was bombarded by the Aus- trians and the bridge across the river Save was partly b.own up. Rusia is reported to have ordered the mobilization of more than 1,200,000 troops. ; As the result of the reported Rus- sian mobilization an important officia: council was held in Berlin. No ordeis for a German mobilization, appareit- ly, have yet been issued. Thus the péace of all Europe now lies in the hands of the kaiser and the czar. The report of the Belgrade bombard- ment was received in St. Petersourg from Belgrade and means that the Austro-Servian was is on in full force. Paris at the same time received 2a report that Russia was assured by Austria that she did not intend to oc- cupy Belgrade. London heard a rumor that Russia bad informed Austria in a manner having the semblance of an ultimatum that the czar would take Servia's part, but the rumor was without confirma- tion. The reports that the Russian war office had ordered partial mobilization in the southern and southwestern ais: tricts came to London from St. Peters- burg. This is fraught with mighty signifi cance, for it had been declared in Ber- lin that orders even for partial mo- bilization in Russia would be followed by German mobilization and imme- diate war. Then the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente would be irre- vocably embroiled and the dreaded general conflict would be on. While all Europe looked to Berlin and St. Petersburg to see what was in store, the kaiser and the czar ex- changed personal messages. These notes dealing with the crisis crossed one another between the capitals. It is believed both were aimed at the preservation of peace. Though hostilities are on between Austria-Hungary and Servia and there are unconfirmed rumors of fighting, the actual state of the military move: ments is cloaked by the most rigid censorship Europe ever has known. [i is known, however, that Austria has massed 300,000 men on the Serviau border. It is rumored that the actual inva- gion of Servia has begun at several points and that there has been fight- ing on the river Drina, the boundary between Servia and Herzegovina. A report was circulated that the German minister to Servia had been assassinated, but it also was reported kat he had left Belgrade for Nish, the temporary capital. The British first fleet sailed from Portland under secret crders, pr.b ably for the North sea. Ttaly also i: concentrating her warships. Revoiutionists in Warsaw, Russian Poland, were reported to have blown: up many magazines of forts there and to have hurled bombs, killing or in- jurying many. The citadel was report- ed destroyed. Belgium ordered mobilization of three classes of reservists. All Servians in Austria-Hungary lia- ble for military service are being held as prisoners of war. Premier Asquith was of the “most extreme gravity.” Great Britain, while abstaining from anything which would be provocative of alarm on the part of Austria and her friends, is quietly making prepa- rations for any contingency that may bring her within the scope of the Con- tinental troubles. The feeling in Paris was extremely pessimistic and the “big war” was pre- | dicted within ten days. Berlin was lit: tle less gloomy. In both cities anti war demonstrations occurred. Gunboats Bombard Belgrade. in the British! house of commons admitted the crisis ' banker who was in the latter building | was wounded. The officials of both banks made protests to the German le- gation. The Servians did not reply to the fire. Part of the bridge across the Save from Belgrade to Semlin was destroved and is now in such a con- dition that it cannot be used. Artillery fighting is going or at Vechnitza, near Belgrade. Soldiers Fire on Dublin Mob. Three men and one woman are dead and more than sixty persons are in the hospital in Dublin, Ireland, wound- ed, as the result of a battalion of the King’s Own Scottish Borderers firing into a mob in the streets of Dublin. Seven of the persons wounded are expected to die. Among them are three women and a boy of ten. The affray was the result of a gun- running ‘exploit of the Nationalist Volunteers, who were being aided by a mob composed largely of women and youths. A consignment of rifles, said to number 10,000, was landed at Howth, nine miles from Dublin, from a private yacht. The Nationalist Vol- unteers cut the telegraph wires and stopped travel on the Dublin roads and, according to reports, sent away most of the rifles, to gether with 70, 000 rounds of ammunition, in motor cars. Wilson Withdraws Jones’ Name. President Wilson withdrew the nom- ination of Thomas P. Jones, of Chica- go, to be governor of the federal re- serve board. The president found that it was im- possible tc have Mr. Jones confirmed by the senate, although the greatest possible pressure had been exerted by the administration. In withdrawing Mr. Jones’ name the president made public coresrpondence with Mr. Jones showing that on Mon- day Mr. Jones himself asked tbat his name be withdrawn. Tries to Kill His Family. Thomas H. Dalton, clerk of the East Boston district court. shot and killed his five-weeks-old daughter Pris- cilla, seriously wounded his wife apd his son Joseph, five years old, and then killed himself. Daltor had been at his home for the past two months. suffering from a nervous breakdown. The boy is in a critical condition, but it is expected that Mrs. Dalton will recover. Dalton shot the children as they slept. Drowns Tied to Stake. Before drowning himself in Raaoco- cas creek, near Rancocas, N. J, Christian Stemmer, seventy-two years old, took elaborate precautions to make certain that his hody should be found. Going to the shore of the creek, which flows past his home, the aged man drove a stake, fastening to it one end of a thirty-foot rope and knotting the other end about an ankle and waded depath. After a search of two hours rela tives found the body bobbing on the end of the line, where the tide had carried it near the shore. Stemmer was suffering from cancer and had threatened repeatedly to commit sui cide. Immm——— Sewer Blows Up; 12 Hurt. Twelve men were injured, four of them seriously, when a new sewer being constructed in Twenty-third street, Pittsburgh, Pa., blew up, rip: ping the thoroughfare from Penn ave- nue to the Alegheny river, with a loss estimated at more than $159,000... The sewer was heing built to replace one that exploded last fall, injuring several persons and causing a loss of more than $250,000. In the explosion the sewer blew up in three different places, one of them beneath the Carnegie Steel works. Six employes there were injured. Others injured were laborers. Child Pets Snakes on Porch. Mrs. John Kobac, of Northwood, a suburb of Tyrone, Pa., gave her son, George, eighteen months of age, a bow! of bread and milk and then set him on the porch while she went about her housework. She heard him using pet names and upon investiga. tion found two copperhead snakes across his lap feeding upon the bread and milk, while the child petted thiem with his hands. Mrs. Kobac grabbed the child and the snakes escaped. Gagged Girl; Clipped Hair. A posse with bloodhounds is search ing for a white man who assault-d Dorothy Iser, fifteen years old, with a razor, at Keyser, W. Va. The man cut off the girl’s hair close . to the head, forced an apple between her teeth, tied a ribbon over her mouth and bound her feet and hands with cords. The assailant fled when he heard the brother of the girl ap proaching. Barber Loses Sight; Kills Self.
