BRYAN APPEALS TO REBEL CHIEFTAIN TO CALL KALI ON VILLA Secretary of State Tells Carranza Villa Is Making Demands For Horses By Associated Press Washington, July 28.—Secretary Bryan appealed to-day to General Car ranza asking him to call a halt upon Villa who is reported to be making wholesale demands for horses upon ranch owners in the State of Chihua hua. Consular advices to the State Department also declared the northern general was smuggling arms across the border as rapidly as they were available. There was no doubt in the minds of the people of Chihuahua as to the meaning of Villa's activity, the dispatch to the department added. Recent reports from the border have intimated that Villa intended to con centrate his forces in Chihuahua with the aim of demanding certain conces sions from Carranza after the Consti tutionalists occupy Mexico City. How ever, In response to an appeal from the Washington government urging him to forget personal differences with Car ranza, General Villa declared he in tended to co-operate with the other revolutionary leaders and would do all in his power to inaugurate an era of peace in Mexico. Counter Revolutionary Talk While administration officials ex pressed assurances that Villa would not permit any dlssention with Carran za to develop into a counter revolution, yet to-day's reports renewed specula tion over the ultimate position that the military chief will take. The consulate advices of Villa's new activity confirmed complaints that I have reached the State Department from individual property owners. In some instances, it was declared, Villa had demanded as many as 100 horses from one ranch. The situation between the Consti tutionalists and the Carbajal govern ment pending negotiation for transfer of administrations in Mexico City was progressing satisfactorily toward a set tlement Secretary Bryan said.

OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OF THE DECLARATION OF WAR WAS SENT TO SERVIA TO-DAY BY THE AUSTRO-HUNGARY GOV ERNMENT. Ixindon, July 28.—The refusal by (irrmany nn»l Austria-Hungary to participate in a mediation conference on the Austro-Servian conflict, reports of the rapid movement of Austro-Hungurian troops and the persistent down ward trend of Kiiropean stocks wore the outstanding developments of the European situation to-day. Preparations for war proceeded on all sides. Even England's battle squadrons have all l»eeii mobilized in readiness for eventualities and the publication of official news as to the movements of British warships has erased. The first and second battle squadrons have taken on tlielr full war stores and are ready to slip their anchors at a moment's notice. The de stroyer flotillas around the coast also have been prepared and armed guards were placed to-day around all the magazines. " GERMANY INSISTS ON FREE HAND FOR AUSTRIA Definite decision against participation In the ambassadorial conference proposed by Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, lit an effort to maintain peace is regarded her as tantan to a declaration of Germany's determination that Austria-Hungary shall have an entirely Tree hand In chastising Servia unless the Balkan kingdom accedes iti full'to the demands of the dual monarchy. According to advices received here. Germany's refusal was couched In terms of sympathy with Sir Edward Grey's object, but contended thut the suggested conference would place Austria-Hungary in the invidious position of appearing like the Balkan states before a European tribunal to explain her actions and therefore likely to Increase rather than decrease the diffi culties of tlic situation. REPORTS THAT 'HOSTILITIES HAVE BEGUN Apparently authentic reports current here assert that Russia has been given positive assurances that Austria-Hungary has no intention of annexing Servian territory. If true, tills might, it is thought, help the efforts to localize the way should it break out. Thus far there has been 110 official confirmation of reports of hostilities between Austria and Servia, but a number of rumors have been published, including one of the seizure of Servian ships carrying contraband by an Aus trian patrol on the Danube. Declaration of War Follows Refusal of Germany to Mediate Ijondon, July 28.—Announcement of the declaration of war by Austria- Hungary on Servla came to-day al most immediately after Germany and Austria had notified Sir Edward Grey, t-he British Foreign Minister, of their refusal to .loin In a mediation confer ence. It is assumed here that the efforts of the European nations will now be di rected toward localizing the hostilities. The actual cause of Austria-Hun gary's decision to enter into hostilities wjth Servia was the reply sent by the Balkan State to the note from Vienna demanding that Servia take steps to put a stop to the pan-Servian propa ganda on Austrian territory and also punish those indirectly connected In the assassination in Bosnia on June 28 of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austrp-Hungarian throne. The response of Servia was consid ered by the Foreign Office in Vienna •'unsatisfactory," and In a semi-official communication made public yesterday the Austro-Hungarlan government said that the reply was "filled with the spirit of dishonesty." In the meantime Sir Edward Grey took the initiative of requesting the European powers to permit their am bassadors In London to confer with a view to a peaceful solution of the con troversy. Italy and France at once consented to join their efforts to those of Great Britain, but Germany and Austria refused, Germany supporting her ally in the contention that It | would be undignified for a great power | like Austria to appear before a tri bunal of the European powers of the same tsatus as the little Balkan na tion. Austria Mobilizes Army Austria-Hungary in the Interval had proceeded rapidly with the mobiliza tion of her great army. The entire railroad system was utilized for the movement of troop trains, the tele graph system was virtually monop olized for government business and a strict censorship was imposed. Servia also had mobilized her forces and had withdrawn the garrison of Belgrade, the capital, to the interior, as the chief city of Servia occupied a position too vulnerable to be held. Every war office and admiralty in Europe was occupied In preparations for eventualities, even the smaller countries, such as Holland, Belgium and Switzerland taking precautionary measures. Then to-day came the formal decla ration of war by Austria-Hungary, one of the members of the Triple Alliance, the other two countries In which are Germany and Italy. The notification of the fact was sent this afternoon to the Servian government, which has Its temporary headquarters at Kraguye vatz. It was anticipated here that a decla ration of the beginning of hostilities would follow quickly on Germany's de cision tc hold aloof from any scheme of mediation. The German foreign office had said that a conference of .ambassadors would In Its opinion serve no useful purpose while "conversa- J Continued on Page 8] « Hostilities Between Two Countries May Now Be Under Way By Associated Press Paris, July 28.—The Austrian am bassador to France to-day said it was probable that active hostilities be tween Austria-Hungary and Servia be gan this morning, but till 11 o'clock he had not received any telegram to that effect from Vienna. Rene Vlvianl, the French premier who is on board the battleship La France In the North Sea to-day kept in frequent wireless communication with the foreign office here. He Is returning to France as rapidly as pos sible and is due to arrive at Dunkirk to-morrow. Austria to Demand Still More of Servia By Associated Press Vienna, July 28. —The imperial Aus tro-Hungarlan foreign office declared to-day that even should Servia now comply with the demands contained in the Austrian note the government of the dual monarchy would not be satis fied. Officials at the ministry stated that Servia's reply nad made It im possible for Austria-Hungary to ad here to her former standpoint, and compliance by Servia with the de mands made on her could not longer Influence the course of action of tho Austro-Hungarlan empire.
