Bowman, Super intendent of Public Safety. Commissioner Bowman declared to day that if he can prevent It, "not a (single load oi earth will l>e dumped along the River Front to till out the parkland between ('alder and Maclay streets unless the city acquires by pur chase or donation the park frontage not yet turned over to the city by Its owners." The Commissioner made that em phatic declaration In discussing the report that some of the Front street residents—those, by the way, who have not yet turned over their lands to the city for park purposes—will start injunction proceedings against the head of the Department of Public Safety to prevent his laying the new 16-Inch water mains In the River Front Park. Tuesday Is the day scheduled for the approval by Council of the recom mendation of Park Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor for the award of the contract to haul the 20,000 yards or more of earth excavated from the Second street subway to be used for "fill" above "llardKcrabhle." The new bids will be opener! Monday. Criticise llowman Residents of other sections of the city, as well as those living along Front street, are protesting bitterly against the plan of the Public Safety Commissioner to use the path in the River Front Park from North to Mar ket for laying the pipe line. Mr. Bowman contends that the method will save the city some $4,000. Commissioner Taylor declares that the city will some day he put to a greater expense when it is compelled to dig up the streets and the park to make connections when the present six-inch water main Is too old for service. The Superintendent of Public Safety admits that the city will necessarily have to foot this bill, but says that It will be far In the future. The Cost in the Future "Rome day the present water main will have to be moved, no doubt," said he, "but neither you nor I will see it—it may he fifty years before that will he necessary. The pipe is in good shape to-day." "That cost will have to be borne by the city?" "Surely." said he, "the city will have to pay for such changes—just as it has to pay f<*>r the contemplated ones. The individual property owners are put to no expense."

July 29. At the French foreign office a pessimis tic view of the general situation prevailed this evening.

THE TEMPS SAYS RUSSIA WAS OFFICIALLY INFORMED ABOUT HALF PAST TWELVE THIS AFTERNOON THAT AUSTRIA-HUN GARY WOULD RESPECT THE TERRITORIAL TREATY OF SERVIA AND WISHES EVEN TO AB STAIN FROM OCCUPYING BELGRADE, THE SER VIAN CAPITAL. London, July 2ft.—Reports of massing of armies in strategic positions came from all points of Europe to-day, but no actual dash of opposing forces was registered. Diplomats concentrated tlielr attention on offer to confine the war to Austria-Hungary and Servia, the two nations immediately concerned in tho quarrel, and tho attitude of the German and Russian emperors was closely watched owiuK to their near relations to the countries engaged. Premier Asquith referred to the international situation in the House of Commons, but all the Information li<> was able to impart was contained in a few words. "The situation at this moment," he said, "is one of extreme gravity, and T can only say that the Rritish Government is not relaxing its efforts to do everything In its power to circumscribe the area of conflict. ...."The British Government has received no information as to an alleged revolutionary outbreak in Russian Poland." SERVIA AMI AUSTRIA PREPARE FOR WAR Austria-Hungary and Servia resounded to-day with the march of troops towards positions of attack and defense while military aviators on both sides flitted through the air along tin- frontiers in an effort to discover their oppo nents' positions. No idea of plan of campaign could lie obtained by the general public, however, owing to the rigidity of the censorship in regard to military move ments. It was known that the Anstro-Hungarian government had requisitioned the entire train service ami that private transportation ii lithe dual monarchy had ceased. It was gleaned Trom dispatches from Servian points that the Bosnia frontier was looked upon as the most likely point of attack of the Austrian troops and thither the soldiers of King Peters were hurried in great numbers. The Montenegrin soldiery evidently preparing to support their brother Serbs, also concentrated along the Bosnia frontier. STOCK EXCHANGES EVERYWHERE DEMORALIZED The Stock Exchanges everywhere in Europe were demoralized and where they were not closed, business was almost at a standstill. I»a* id l.loyd George, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, to-day made tho financially tranqnili/.iiig statement in the House of Commons that the Hank of Eugland saw nothing in the present financial situation to make it necessary to call a meeting of hankers to deal with it. ROTHSCHILD SEES MORE HOPE TO-DAY Baron Rothschild hi an Interview said to-day: "I think the situation looks rather better to-day, but I do not know personally of any developments. At tho same time it looks as if there were more chance of the war licing localized. "Yesterday was a blacker day than to-day. I think things look a littlo brighter. 1 do not quite know why, but I have the feeling that they are." All Europe, Hoping For Peace, Is Preparing For Threatening War By Associated Press London, July 29. While Austria- Hungary was to-day preparing to strike at Servia, against whom she yes terday declared war, the rest of the European nations, although still hop ing that the conflict would be localized, were getting ready for the greater war that must ensue in case Russia should intervene on behalf of the small blav nation. , , . The state of the stock market in London showed to-day that the sit uation was considered grave and the anxiety was added to by the issuance of orders to the British tleet at Port land to sail for a destination which was not revealed to the public. In the meantime dispatches from Vienna showed that the movement of the Austrian forces toward'the Servian frontiers was proceeding steadily, but a strict censorship concerning the mili tary movements prevented the exact destination of the troops from reach ing the outside world. All the Austrian and Hungarian railways were taken over yesterday for military traffic and transportation for general purposes was suspended. Servia, it was known, was just as activo in moving her troops. Strong forces were dispatched to the fortilied towns of Valyevo and Uzhitza, on the Bosnian frontier, and to Svilajd, in the eastern part of the country, while strong divisions of volunteers rein forced by regulars were gathering along the River Drina near Losnitz on the Bosnian frontier. The Montenegrins also were making preparations ilnd had stationed a bri gade with a mountain battery near Pridoj, where women were busy build- I ing earthworks. Servian and Austrian aviators at the same time were flying along the fron tiers trying to locate the positions of the opposition forces. As far as a gen eral European war is concerned diplo mats in London, while they confess the sithatlon to be most grave, consider there is hope of averting a conflict so long as the Austro-Russian "conver sations" continue at St. Petersburg. Another danger has arisen owing to the uneasiness in Germany at the preparations being made by Russia along her frontier. Ordinarily, it is pointed out, Germany ana Austria have the ail vantage over Russia in being a 111" to mobilize more quickly, ana thej o not wish to lose this ad vantage. Reports have come through from Vienna that the Russian Poles have organized a revolution and blown up several buildings, but no confirmation of this has come to hand from other sources.
