GREAT POWERS I'M
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-
pope-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
are each seeking to throw upon the
other the onus of beginning the war.
Ia fact, while the nations Of Europe
are flying at one another's 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.
Ia 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
10 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
ran avoid being drawn into the con-
nlct 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
10 meet a situation unprecedented in
the nations history.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Indianapolis, Ind.-Three members
of one family were killed, three others

seriously hurt at Fl. Benjamin Harri-

traction car struck an automobile.
The automobile was struck in the

Frankfort, Ky.-Because he wished
to save his old comrades in arms from
the hands of pension "shavers," C. E.
Hoge, president of the State National
Bank, of Frankfort, has volunteered
to redeem at their face. value the May
issue of Confederate pension warrants,
which have been sent out by State
Treasurer Thomas S. Shea. The issue
aggregates more than 100000. The
quarterly distribution of $50 will be
paid in checks from the state treas
ury; but those who have been added
to the pension list since the February
distribution will draw back pay at the
rate of $40 the month from the date
OF their application, some of them
drawing pay from July, 1912, when the
law went into effect Warrants will
be issued to them.
The pension warrants have been
mailed to the pensioners. Accompany
ing each warrant were instructions to
the pensioner to present the warrant
at his local bank and inform the bank
ers that the State National Bank at
Frankfort will take the warrant at its
face value. In this way the pension
ers will receive the full amount Of
