England, Russia and France Will Join
Against Austria, Italy and Germany;
Trouble Certain.

LONDON, Nov. Sit is announced
here on good authority that the Serv-
ians are d,efying Austria's warning and
have rushed General Yankovitch and
his army to seize Durazzo, a Turkish
port on the Adriatic sea.
Diplomats here absolutely despair
of averting general European war.

occupation of S,ervia If the latter per-

ates most alarming condition.
1t is freely predicted in diplomatic
circles here that England, Germany
France and Russia will be fighting
Austria and Italy within the week.
Austria and Russia have already
modified their troops and Germany,
which is exceptionally hostile, will
mobilize her forces Immediately.
Diplomats declare that Germany
will strike at Austria; Russia will aid
Franz Joseph, and France will then
attempt to invade Germany, while It.
ally will attack France. England will
support the Russian and French at
tempts to destroy Germany and will
probably aid in the Russian attack on
the German and Italian fleets while
sending her troops to fight under the
banners of the triple entente against
thu triple alliance.
The British government is working
secretly on an elaborate naval plan.
At any moment the foreign office is
expecting the announcement that Aus
tria has started an invasion of Servia.
The cabinet held special meeting
this morning at the foreign office and
for several hours the situation was
thoroughly discussed.
Malta this morning reports that the
British battleships Hibernia, Brittania,
Commonwealth and Dominion and the
cruisers Black Prince and Cumberland
are speeding under sealed orders to-
some point in the near east.
The French war Office today cancell-

French foreign office and diplomats
are working frantically to preserve
peace.
It is thankless task and they have
no hope of success.

SHORT COURSE FOR
MINERS OPENS SOON

Every mining man, miner, mill man,
smelter man, or prospector in the

nouncement of the winter short course

Idaho, which opens January next at
Moscow. The course Is designed for
practical work of such nature as to
help the busy man who finds himself
up against some mining problem which
he is unable to solve, the prospector
who wants to equip himself so as to
know what "he's got" when he finds
it, and the worker in the mining indus
try who wants to increase his earning
capacity and go to the top.
This ia the third term Of the short
course at the Idaho School OF Mines,

successful than the two which preceded

ments except that man Is supposed
to know something OF arithmetic.

ages have run from 21 to 66 years and
every man who has taken the course
has found that it has improved his
earning capacity.

a corps of experienced and practical
mining men, and not of school-book
professors. Every instructor has been

Reports are Contradictory.

| PARIS, Nov. 9.-Scores of messages
all contradictory have been received
here from the battle front today and
leading diplomats and military ex-
perts do not pretend to be able to
| determine which is the truth.
From Constantinople it is reported
that. the Shiek-ul- Islam, the head of
the Mohammedan religion has pro-
claimed holy war" against the
Christian allies and is urging all
Moslems to take to the field in de-
fense of the Turkish empire. 1t is de-
clared that he is melting all Moham-
medans to the massacre of all Christ
ians with whom they come in con-
tact, and thus earn the delirious joys
of the Mohammedan paradise.
Another report says the sultan has
transferred his capitol across the Bos-
phorous.
Diplomats over Europe generally de-
clare that the Bulgarian occupation of
Constantinople is unnecessary, and
that 1t will result in the needless
butchery of hundreds of thousands of
Christians.
1t is reported that the Bulgars want
Ferdinand proclaimed Balkan emper-
or in the Turkish capital, and for that
reason will not permit him to remain
outside the city.
Another report says that Ferdinand
will not attempt to occupy Constan-
tinople until representatives of the
Servian and Montenegrin armies can
accompany him into the city.
From Sofia comes an official denial
that the forces of the allies have cap
tured the Tchatalja forts. This Is
believed to be simply ruse to pre-
vent the powers from protesting
against the occupation of CONSTANT
nople until Czar Ferdinand is within
the city.

the powers is not sufficient to avert

seen enjoying the comforts that go
with them.
Several former travelling men having
retired from the road, are now in bus-

HEAVY TRAFFIC IN SOUTHWEST.
Kansas Wheat Country Looking for
Bright Times.

Wichita, Kan, July 9.-Railroads
tering Wichita are preparing for the
greatest grain movement they have
ever had. Facing the prospect of an
enormous traffic movemen officials
have planned to have every available
car in the grain belt by the time the
movement begins. Thousands of cars
and western Kansas. 1t is estimated
that the first movement of grain will
call into use in Kansas 200 cars.
Despite their efforts to get into
shape to handle the immense move
ment officials are afraid that they will
be unable to keep pace with the de-
mand for cars. Fair weather condi-
tions and the high price of grain prob
ably will cause the farmers to throw
the crop on the market early. At
present wheat is bringing 80 to 95
cents throughout the country. Officials
expect the early movement to be very
heavy under these conditions.
