RUSSIA CONFIRMED

London, August 1.-THE Times this
morning confines the reports Of Pus-
sian mobilization 1t prints St.
Petersburg dispatch under yesterdays
date. which says that general mobil.
jzation has been ordered.
Never in the memory of living
man. the Times ST. Petersburg cor
respondent telegraphs, has Russia
lived through a day of such intense
emotion. The government decided
upon q general mobilization OF the
forces Of the empire late Thursday
night. This step was forced upon
them by German military preparations
and considerations OF strategy. II be-
came apparent that the Germans were
purposely delaying official notice OF
their mobilization order in order to
place Russia in a position Of in
feriority TO hesitate longer would
have been to court disaster"

London, Aug. Saturday morn
ing AT the moment of cabling there
is no direct confirmation of the re-
port that Russia lad started general
mobilization, which Premier Asquith
announced In the house OF commons
that he had learned from Germany.
Direct dispatches from st. Peters
burg. which are brief and some times
beIated. do not mention the mobiliza-
ton of the Russian forces, referring
only to the summoning OF the reserv-
lists TO the Russian capital.
The Russian embassy here processes
entire ignorance of the matter. Reu-
tiers Telegram company issues a Lon
don statement to the effect that the
mobilization IL not general.
A dispatch from Vienna says that NJ
Schcbeko, the Russian ambassad dor
there. continues his CONVEX atoms al
the foreign effice, which he visited OH
Thursday and Friday, and II seems
that n European war is not regarded
as invitable In Austria.
The foregoing are the only riffs In
the cloud. which otherwise becomes
blacker and hacker. 1t cannot be
said that hope has been utterly aban.
doned here. as tho government Is
credited with believing that set
Element is yet possible. 1t Is under
stood that Sir Edward Grey, the Brit.
ish foreign secretary, is making fmr.

There is an uncomfortable report
that Germany has asked France
neutral. IL is thought that II this re-
port Is true, 1t possibly indicates a
willingness ON Gcrmany's part to re-
frain from aiding Austria, If France
VIII promise not to aid Russia.
II Is reported tint French troops
have been partially withdrawn from
