tion.

Great Britain Issues a Formal Declara-
tion.
hondon.-The war OF the nations Of
Europe became further regularized
with the formal declaration of war on
Austria-Hungary by Great Britain.
AS soon as the declaration of war by
England on Austrla-Hungary became
publicly known large number of Aus
trians and Hungarians resident in Lon
don who were liable to be called upon
for military service applied to Robert
p. Skinner, the American Consul-Gen-
eral, for enrolment.
The clerks of the consulate-general
at once began stamping the military
books OF the men, and this will be re-
garded by the Austrian authorities as
evidence that the holders we're ready
to perform their duty.
In accordance with previous instruc-
tions received from Secretary of State
Bryan, Consul-General Skinner has
notified the American consuls through
out the British Isles to take over the
Austrian consulates.
Ambassador Walter Hines Page was
ready to assume charge of the Austro-
Hungarian Embassy here and was re-
quested to do so.
The number Of Austrians and Hun
garians in the British Isles is not
known, but It is expected they will add
considerably to the problem of the re-
lief committees.
