SERVIIN RED CROSS
> FUND IS GROWING
Money Will Soon Be Sent to De
stitute Women and Children
in War Torn Country
Contributions to the Servian Red
Cross fund, started Sunday, are still
coming in. By this morning Voja
Jovanovic. the treasurer, had received
$547. Jus! as soon as possible this
money will be forwarded tn care for
the women and children in Servia
made destitute by the war now raging.
Not only has money contributions
been coming in fast but more sym
pathizers with the Servian cause have
offered their services. The total num
ber in Rteelton who have already of
fered their services to Servia is thirty
seven. These men are ready to answer
the first call of Consul Puppin in New
York. When this little band leaves
they will carry the bis flag of the
Servian Sokol, a patriotic organiza
tion. Practically all of the thirty
seven are former soldiers and are well
drilled and equipped, ready to take
the field.
A remarkable situation here is that
while a large majority of the foreign
ers are of Austrian birth their sym
pathies to a man seem to be with lit
tle Servia. Many former Austrian sol
diers are volunteering to fight under
the Servian flag.

Sees Little Relief
in Rate Decision
Philadelphia, Aug. 4.—Senator Pen
rose on his return from the seashore
criticised the freight rate decision of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
He said the commission did not go far
enough. And he declare 1 further that
the industrial condition cf the country
is in such a hopeless sta'e that no de
cision could fill the empty freight cars
that stretch along the miles of rail
road track throughout the country.
The Senator found in the general
European war a reason for this coun
try to maintain a protective tariff.
He said that the great argument for
protection is that it will cause the
American industries to become so
firmly established that the United
States would not he affected seriously

now raging.

REPLY TO ENGLISH NOTE IS DEMANDED
BEFORE MIDNIGHT; JAPAN MAY ENTER
[Continued From First Page]
London, Aug. 4.—Germany's reply to Sir Edward Grey's speech indicating the British attitude in
regard to the violation of Belgian territory by Germany was a second ultimatum from Berlin to
Brussels saying Germany was prepared to carry through her plans by force of arms if necessary.
The British government was officially informed by Belgium to-day that German troops had in
vaded Belgium and that the violation of that country's neutrality, which the British foreign secretary
yesterday intimated must be followed by action on the part of the British, had become an accom
plished fact.
Definite announcement of Great Britain's intentions under this grave affront was expected in the
House of Commons this afternoon.
In the meantime John Burns has resigned from the British cabinet and Viscount Morley's
absence from its meeting to-day indicated that this over-strong peace advocate had also determined
to leave his colleagues.
Diplomatic relations had already been severed last night between Germany and France and the
3erman ambassador in .leaving Paris informed th 3 French premier that Germany regarded herself
as in a state of war with France, which requested Germany to hand the French ambassador in Ber
lin his passports.
The open breach between France and German ' was rapidly followed by the appearance of Ger
man troops on French territory and by an incursion of bomb hurling German aeroplanes which
attacked the fortified town of Luneviile without doing anything more than damage a roadway.
French airmen and outposts were also reported to have made raids on German territory.
A more tangible occurrence was the bombardment of a French naval station at Bona, Algeria,
by a German cruiser, which, however, retired before doing much damage and is cruising around the
Mediterranean sea where a considerable number of French war vessels are looking for ship maruaders.
What the British Admiralty intended to do was not ascertainable and no news was made public
as to the movements of British war vessels. Precautionary measures in view of possible later devel
opments were being taken however. This became known through a suggestion issued by the
Admiralty to British ships bound for continental ports north of Calais. These were advised to divert
their course to ports in the United Kingdom in the interest of national welfare.
As to -the fighting between Austria and Servia, the original combatants in the war which has
spread over the greater part of the European mainland, reports come from Nish, Servia, that the Aus
trians had suffered a sharp repulse and heavy losses at the hands of the Servian troops.
In diplomatic quarters in London it was reported without confirmation that the Turkish army,
which is being mobilized, will if it participates in the general conflagration, remain under the command
of General Liman Von Sanders, the Prussian off cer who acts as instructor.
Germany Places Blame on Russia's Shoulders
Berlin, Aug. 5. —Responsibility for the war in which Germany. Russia and France are now engaged, is placed
squarely upon the shoulders of Emperor Nicholas in the white book issued by the German government and given
prominence in the press to-day. While negotiations, looking to a peaceful way out of the difficulties, were pend
ing, Russia, it is charged. Invaded Ger many and a few hours later France opened hostilities.
The German Emperor, it is set forth, in response to the suggestion from London and the appeal of the Rus
sian monarch, was using his influence at Vienna to satisfy Russia regarding the intentions of Austria in Servia,
but in that very hour Russia was niobl lizing her army.
After a fruitless appeal to Emperor Nicholas to abandon his warlike preparations and so avert a peril to
civilization, the Oerman government on the afternoon of July 31 Instructed its Ambassador at St. Petersburg to
give notice that Germany would mobilize unless Russia suspend her military measures inside of twelve hours. At
the same time France was given eighteen hours in which to declare whether she would remain neutral In a war
between Russia and Germany. The White Rook continues:
"The Imperial Ambassador in St. Petersburg made the communication entrusted to him to M. Sazonoff (the
Russian Minister of Foreign Affatrs) at midnight on July 31. After the term set tor Russia had expired without
the receipt of an answer to our question, His Majesty, the Emperor,
tion of the whole German army and th e imperial navy.
"The Imperial Ambassador in St. Petersburg had meanwhile received a commission to communicate to the
Russian government a declaration of war in the event that the Russian government had not given a satisfactory
answer within the period allotted it. Rut before a report of the execution of this commission had arrived Rus
sian troops crossed our frontier on the afternoon of August 1 and advanced on German territory. From this Utne
on Russia has furthered the war against us.
"In the meantime the Imperial Ambassador in Pariffhad placed the inquiry with which he was commissioned
before the French Cabinet at 7 p. m. on July 31. <~>n August 1 at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the French Prime
Minister communicated an ambiguous and unsatisfactory answer which gave no clear Idea regarding the attitude
of Franco, as the author confined himself to declaring that France would do as interests bade her do.
"A few hours late, at sp. m.. the mobilization of the entire French army and navy was ordered. On the
morning of the next day France opened hostilities."
TEST BALL BEARINGS
FOR PASSENGER CARS
Train of Nine Cars Runs Between
New York and Pittsburgh
Daily
Officials of the Pennsylvania Rail
road are watching closely the move
ments of a test train now being run
between New York and Pittsburgh.
This train is made up of nine all-steel
cars. Each car has twelve wheels and
each wheel revolves on steel ball bear
ings. There are sixteen bearings for
jeach wheel.
This is not the iirst time a test has
been made with ball bearings. The
invention now being tested, however,
is the most plausible the officials of
the equipment department have yet
encountered. If successful, the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company hopes to
save many thousand dollars in the
cost of oils, waste and sponging.
This particular test train goes west
as train No. 15 every other day. Leav
ing Harrisburg at 11.40 a. 111., the
train reaches Altoona 2.56 p. m. The
train makes a number of stops, which
enable the officials traveling with the
train to make an examination of the
boxes. The train, running as No. 16,
will come east to-day. It leaves Al
toona at 6.28 p. m. and will arrive in
Harrisburg at 9.18 p. m.
Thus far none of the gearings have
run hot and with the tests to date it
in said one gallon of oil would supply
one box on a 42,000-mile trip. With
these ball hearings the dining car at
tached to the train can be set in mo
tion with little effort. A report as to
the success of the ball bearings will
be made after two weeks more of
tests. *

No Trouble to Remove

It is an easy matter to rid the skin
of objectionable hair or fuzz. If you
proceed as follows: Mix a paste with
some water and a little powdered
delatone, apply to hairy surface and
in 2 or 3 minutes rub off. wash the
skin and the hairs are gone. This

Dealers Here Deny
Scarcity of Flour
Flour manufacturers and dealers in
this city to-day denied rumors that
there was a scarcity of flour. In
quiries at all mills and warehouses in
Harrisburg and vicinity brought the
statement that there was plenty of
flour to meet demands notwithstanding
the demands for American wheat and
flour in Europe.
Addison H. Hoffer. of the firm of
Hotter and Garman, stated that the
price of Hour had increased from fifty
cents to a dollar a barrel, according!
to grade. This, in the opinion of Mr.
Hoffer, was due to speculation in
wheat as a result of the war. He
added:
"There is no scarcity of flour. Neith
er need there be any fear as to the
price going up so high as to cause
hardships. Wheat is too plentiful."
At the Paxton Flour Company ware
houses similar statements were given.

Kick on Water. —Complaint against
the rates and service of the Westmore
land Water Company, which supplies
a large district in Westmoreland coun

Commission to-day by the borough of
Greensburg and John V. Stevenson
and Rabe F. Marsh, taxpayers of

It is charged that the rates adopted
by the company in December and now
in force for domestic and public water
service are excessive and that the divi
dend paid by the company to its stock
holders and those merged with it is
equal to 8 per cent, on the capital

Newspaper Advertising
J Intelligent aggressiveness is the
I most outstanding characteristic in
| the conduct of most kinds of busi
| ness.
The successful manufacturer
I and the merchant insistently and
consistently keep their wares, the
virtues and the prices of these
wares, before the purchasing pub
lic.
The increased use of the news-
I paper as an advertising medium is
the best evidence that the manu
facturer and the merchant are be
ginning to better realize the news
paper's value to them in reaching
purchasers.
There 1b no better medium than
the newspaper.
There is no other medium so
timely.
There is no other medium so
elastic.
There Is no other medium which
reaches so many people.
If there be anything in my
style or thoughts to be commend
ed, the credit is due to my kind
parents in Instilling into my mind
an early love for the Scriptures.
—Daniel Webster.
