Preliminary in structions were sent to-day by the German war department to all officers and soldiers of the reserve to hold themselves in readiness to join the colors. The officers of the regular army had \ received instructions yesterday to hold ) themselves in readiness for the mo ' biiization of their units. At the German foTeign office it was ; stated to-day that efforts toward the i maintenance of peace were still in J progress and that Germany had not | yet ordered the mobilization of her ; forces. » Situation Worse Representative oOyjials'ut the for eign office declared" that the situation had grown worse to-day instead of They pointed out that the mo bilization of the Russian army at a time when Austria-Hungary had not moved a man toward the Russian fron tier could only be interpreted in one way and that was that Russia was determined to support Servia. It was added that France also was known to be making military prepa rations and that, although Germany had not yet mobilized, it was ques tionable whether she could remain in active much longer in face of the mili tary preparations on her borders. Major-General Ericl\ von Falken hayn, minister of war. and Lieutenant- General fount Helmufh von Moltke, j chief of the German general staff, had a long conference to-day with Dr. von Relhmann-Hollweg, the Imperial chan ce lor. Prince Henry of Prussia, the empress' brother, and several of the imperial ministers, who assembled at the chanceior's palace. Council Called Rumors were current afterward that the first German army corps, with headquarters at Koenlghberg, had been mobilized and that a call had been issued for a session of the fed eral council, which is composed of rep resentatives of the states of Germany. The proceedings at the imperial con ference at Potsdam under the presi dency of Emperor William have been kept a close secret. Questions ad dressed to officials evoked the reply, "We regret we are unable to furnish the slightest information on the sub ject." It is known that no steps have been taken toward the mobilization of the j German navy. The battle squadrons are concentrated at Kiel and Wilhelms haven and are still on a normal footing and none of the reserve ships have been manned, according to thq ad miralty. Everything, however, is in instant readiness for bringing the navy up to war strength should the call come.

Some officers in close touch with the situation guardedly expressed the opinion to-day that the next twenty four hours would see a decision on the question of peace or war. Dispatches from the provinces show that the greatest agitation exists in many places. The residents of the for tified town of Stasburg. on the French fiontier, have started laying in pro visions in case of a siege, while the common council of the town has taken measures to check the enormous rise In price of food. The council of Bres lau was called into secret session to day to vote on an appropriation of $1,250,000 "for extraordinary pur poses" and it is asslimed that this also was for the purpose of laying in provisions for a possible siege. The Socialists everywhere are hold ing mass meetings to protest against a war. but the nonsoclallst working , men's organizations have organized counter demonstrations and have is sued a manifesto declaring loyalty. Preparations For General i War Progress in Europe By Associated Press London. July 30.—Preparations for a possible general European war went on steadily to-day In every country likely to be involved and the compli cations of the situation were aug mented by a rumor that Japan also might be brought in the conflict.

These re servists, it was said, would be the first to be sent over, then will come the others who have answered the general mobilization call.

MORE Tl IF OF UNACQUIRED PARKS [Continued From First Page] have all that data riere in this office, but no effort was made to get it here. "Without discussing the subject at all with me, Mr. Bowman several weeks ago, offered a resolution in Council directing me to negotiate with a view to purchase by the city of the park tract along the river." The park head said, however, that he does not believe it fair to the own ers who have turned over their ground, for the city now to buy the unacquired properties. "So." resumed Mr. Taylor, "1 didn't follow out to the letter the Bowman resolution. I wrote these owners and suggested that it be turned over to Harrisburg." Here is the letter: The I/etter My dear Sir: As you,are doubtless aware, the v city has long contemplated the development of our river front into a continuous parkway, ex tending from a point below the Central Mills to Ott's lane. To date, practically all of this front age between Iron avenue and Hamilton street, as well as much north of this point, has been ac quired by the city. The acquisition has all been by gift: either by grant from John Harris or by gift from the present day owners. It is needless to call your at- I tention to the development of the section from Paxton street north ward, or to point out the contrast between what was once a public, dump anu eye-sore, and what is now a river front unrivaled in this country. It has long been the intention to complete this river front treat ment as rapidly as funds were available. Now, owing to the coh struction of the new freight sheds and subways by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company there is avail able a quantity of Hlllng more than sufficient to finish grading the river bank to Maclay street. Appreciating the value of this fill, our department has set on foot negotiations whereby we can pro cure it at a cost (delivered over the bank) unusually advantageous to the city. One Fifth to Be Had As yet, however, the city does not have title to more than one fifth of the property between Hamilton and Maclay streets— —your frontage is among those unacquired—but it has been our understanding that you were will ing to deed your frontage to the city »as soon as assured that It would be developed at an early date, In keeping with that further south. Now the purpose of this letter is simply to inquire whether you will deed free to the city for park purposes the river frontage which you own between the western side of Front street and low water mark of the Susquehanna. Should the property owners between Hamilton and Maclay streets | agree to thus give' to the city their river frontage, we are now able to promise that at an early date it will be developed in a manner consistent with the treat ment further south. Wropplng the Work Of course, if this frontage is not given to the city, It will simply mean a dropping of the work In this section. The city is not 9, died this morning shortly before 7 o'clock at his home in Wormleysburg. He had been confined to bed for the past six weeks suffering with a complica tion of diseases.

GALLAUX HAS REGAINED COMPOSURE Paris Forgets Excitement of Re cent Trial in War Talk That Is Now Rampant I Paris, July 30.—The uproar that was expected to follow the acquittal I iof Mme. Henrlotte Calllaux, charged! with the murder of Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro, last March, has ' not materialized. It has been swal lowed up in the great war fervor that , has swept across the land. ! -Mme. Caillaux since her acquittal | has retired completely from public view. Yesterday when she did appear , briefly there were mingled cries of i "murderess" and cheers for her. The I Parisian populace Is much divided in I opinion as to the verdict, but all thought of the trial Is obscured by the talk of war that Is now occupying the j popular mind. Mme. Caillaux, in strong contrast with her weakened physical condition ; during the trial, is said to be in ex jcellent spirits and to show few traces lof her recent illness. WHEATJUMPSSEVEN CENTS WHILE TUNG [Continued From First Page] sold at $1.03 as ngainst 95% cents last night. For the first time the corn market jcined in the extraordinary advance shown by wheat. September corn rose 3 cents a bushel. Oats and provisions also climbed, but only in a moderate way. Dispatches from other speculative grain centers, such ns Minneapolis. Kansas City and St. Louis, told of up heavals in prices. Withdraw From Pit Many of the largest traders with drew from the wheat pit altogether. This was especially tho case when rumors came that the English reserv ists had been called out. On this news the market began to jump upward again, but steadied somewhat at a point 1 cent under the highest prices attained in the earlier transactions. Among the chief reasons for the big bulge in prices being unaccompanied by heavy transactions was the fact that the export trade had suddenly be come paralyzed. Ocean shippers had to contend with a probable dearth of steamers, the likelihood being that all available craft would soon be pressed into service by their governments. Rapidly rising Insurance rates on ex port shipments also proved an impor tant influence in halting business. Prices Rise T.atcr Prices rose later, approaching the highest figures of the opening. Despite the Increased strain of to-day's big ad vance on top of the extraordinary rise day before yesterday, ' the clearing house reported that all firms had met the ir obligations. Withdrawal of firms from active op erations on change Increased as the day wore on and as news by cable became more and more ominous. Sev eral houses went so far as to give many of their employes a complete furlough.
