GREAT POWERS in
ACTUAL WARFARE
War Without Severing Diplomatic Relations
France and Germany Believed to Be Trying
to Throw Responsibility Upon Each Other

London.-Four great powers of Eu-
rope-Austria-H Hungary, Russia, France
and Germany-are now engaged in
actual warfare, but two Of them-Ger-
many and France--have not only not
declared war against each other, as
far as is known here, but have not
even severed diplomatic relations This
Is despite the fact that Germany's
ultimatum to France has either been
ignored or rejected.
The explanation Of this would ap-
pear to be that Germany and France
az each seeking to throw upon the
other the onus of beginning the war.
In fact, while the nations of Europe
are flying at one anothers throats,
they vie with each other in protesting
their desire to maintain peace and
they repudiate the responsibility for
plunging the whole Continent into
bloodshed.
France Last To Mobilize.
In this curious situation France,
according to British opinion, has the
strongest justification. She certainly
was the last to mobilize and seems to
have taken the greatest precautions
to avoid frontier collisions.
On the other hand, Germany, in ad-
dition TO invading French territory
without making formal declaration
OF war, has violated the neutrality of
Luxemburg and declines to give any
undertaking to respect Belgian neu-
trality. The efforts OF the British Am
bassodar at Berlin to secure such an
undertaking have been wasted.
Hard For Britain To Keep Out.
II is difficult to see how Great Britain
can avoid being drawn into the con
fiict to protect Belgium and Dutch
neutrality, and on this point Premier
Asquith's official announcement in
Parliament is awaited with intense
anxiety the British public being no
longer under any illusions as to the
gravity of the crises which transcends
anything in their experience.
The least observant man in London
Sunday could not fail to be impressed
with the fact that something tremend-
Gus was happening. Short Of actual
formal mobilization. the British Gov.
ernment is taking all necessary steps
TO meet situation unprecedented in
the nations history.

TO HIT FRANCE QUICKLY
Germans Apparently Duplicating First
Movement OF Their Campaign
In 1870.

London.-German forces Sunday be-
gan the invasion Of France without,
so far as is known, a declaration of
war having been made. The invading
force is estimated as high as 100000.
Two German detachments entered
French territory, moving In the di
rection of Paris.
One German force crossed the
French frontier near the village Of
Grey, between Nancy and Strassburg,
and another German detachment, prob
ably the Twenty.ninth Infantry. Sun.
day night invaded the Grand Duchy
Of Luxembourg, neutral territory be-
tween Belgium and Germany, and con.
fed town Of Longwy. A dispatch from
Brussels said there was good reason
to believe that this force later in the
day entered France.
Report OF Repulse Confirmed.
The German force which went into
France near Grey, which is 40 miles
from Nancy, is reported to have been
repulsed, with heavy losses, but this
has not yet been confirmed.
Apparently, the German Army is du-
plicating the first movement Of the
Franco-Prussia War; 1t was on Au.
gust 2, 1870, A years ago Sunday, that
the French and Germans clashed in the
first battle Of that war at Saarbrueck.
en-, where the Prince Imperial, under
the orders of the Emperor, received
his famous baptism OF fire."
II would appear that Germany is
taking the fullest possible advantage
Of her supposed superiority in rapid
mobilization over France. The plan
of the German Emperor, according to
military observers here, is to vanquish
or attempt to vanquish France in the
interval before Russia will be able to
create serious trouble on her northern
frontier. 1t is supposed that Russian
mobilization will take about three
weeks.
All telegraphic and telephone com.
munication between Brussels and
Luxembourg has been severed,

GREAT NAVAL FLEETS

All Are on the Alert for the Opening of HostiN.
teS-The Final Efforts to Avert
Conflict.

London-There are only two factors
today Saturday giving the faintest
hope of ayerting general European
war:
First, Russia and Austria are en-.
gagged again in direct negotiations.
Second, both Great Britain and
France are using their utmost en-
deavors in favor of peace.
On the other hand, Russia has or
dered general mobilization and Ger
many has declared state of siege.
which is undoubtedly prelude to, If
II does not cover, mobilization.
France has not yet modified, but
at Cabinet councils, issued DEGREES
establishing a moratorium and taking
other action which could only be de-
termined upon the eve of war; I'm
officially the French army is being
virtually modified.
Great Britain is practically, though
not officially, modified, and the
smaller European States, as precau-
tion, have ordered the mobilization OF
their armies-Belgium, Holland and
Switzerland to protect their territory
from being used as highway for
the belligerents; Norway, Sweden and
Denmark to guard themselves on gen
eral principles.
