 Small Boats in Chinese Waters Are Dsmanted to Pre- vent Capture by Germans and Crews Added to Battleships-German Troops Taken
 From Tientsin

London, July 3O-The last ray O. hope of avoiding a general European conflagration seems to have vanished Apparently nothing short of Divine intervention can sheathe the sword now unsheathed.
 Great Britain has been dragged into the embroglio against her will, but accepting the inevitable, this govern ment has acted swiftly
 Secret mobilization of troops, both regular and irregular, is now being carried out. All army reservists, that is, the men who have finished their time but who are still on the reserve list-have been summoned by wire to join their colors.
 Many of them already are entrain- ing for their regiments, thousands will do so before the end of the week and by Monday next the British army will be at full war strength. Fortu- nately, the training of the territor- sials who are younger men than the volunteers, begins here next Satur- day, when 65,000 of them will be un4 der cOnvas for a fortnight encamp- ment.
 These men were all notified today that they would be required to take Into camp with them a full mobiliza- ton kit
 Other important developments in- cluded the rushing of coal on day and night schedules to the principal nav al ports. The government also exer- dised its right of option on the latest and greatest Cunarder, the Aquitania. for transport purposes, and warned asne Cunard line not to let her depart again until leave had been given The Aquitania now lies at Liverpool. where she recently arrived from New York.
 Other English shipping lines, in- cluding the Furness company, have been similarly warned rot to allow their boats, at present lying in British ports. to depar. without leave.

 Nc news whatever concerning tht military preparations which art being carried on at tllis. very ilsomen in every country of the old worlf with feverish activity is allowed tC be published on this side, but it is ar indisputable fact taht Russia has ordered a complete mobilization.
 Germany has followed suit since Wednesday,, and England this morn ing secretly" commenced prepara- tions on such scale as to be in po- sition to be ready for any movement her Teutonic rival may make
 As for Italy her part in the inn pending general war remains a mystery The government has issued an order prohibiting the acceptance of telegrams from newspaper cores pondents, dealing with the movement of troops or warships, but authori- titave private message received from the frontier show that the people are extremely hostile to Italy's partici- patton in behelf of Austria.
 The entire peninsula is indignant at the brutality with which her one- time oppressor has attacked Servia and will refuse to support her if called upon. The Socialists are run ming strong anti-war campaign, and insist that Italy stand absolutely neutral.
 Meanwhile, urgent orders have been issued to the Italian fleet to concentrate at Chieti and all naval officials have been recalled from leave. No apparent extraordinary measures have yet been taken in re- gard to Italy plans for war.
 Frances preparations are so far limited to absolute readiness for mobilization" and military experts believe that such preparations have been carried Out so thoroughly that in case of need her army could be on war footing in all strategic PoiAtS III ConcluCI oUIc ICSS ludu tuC eleven days supposedly required for such work. Not a single reservist, however, has received mobilization orders so far.
 The French government, in fact, is making a special point to give Germ any no incentive whatever for hostile action. and is seeking to prevent the occurrence of any incident, which however small and negligible at any other time, might now be the spark to fire the mine.
 Despite the outside calm, the in- tensitv was on the breaking point to- nwight and opinion in the highest quarters here is that European peace now hangs on perilously thin thread and depends solely on wheth- CT the German emperor is disposed to summon Austria to moderation.
 The German war lord is now weighing reasons for and against rushing Europe into the melting pot. While Emperor William, on whom at this moment rests the whole re- sponsibilities, is taking counsel with the best statesmen of the German empire. the war party in Vienna is preventing Emperor Francis Joseph from coming into contact with the peace makers. The Austrian military party is keeping the emperor com p1etely isolated. c{

HELP FOR BELGIUM.

If Americans are to make the most
of their opportunity to minister to the
starving people in Belgium they must
act quickly and continue their assist
ance through many months. The Amer
lean relief commission distributed
100000 worth of food last week, but
that stood for only four day 5 needs.
The Rockefeller Foundation has an
nounced that it is prepared to spend
many millions of dollars for the relief
of Belgium. 1t already has sent its
own commissions to find out just where
it can best give aid and has started
its first ship, the Massapequa, with
S275, 900 worth of provisions on board,
its own gift. The food stuffs Will be
flour, rice, beans and bacon. Although
the Rockefeller Foundation stands
ready to continue its aid as long as
Belgium has need, in making its an
nouncement it says:
The sending of such mission will
not render unnecessary the efforts OF
other agencies or relief, for the need
is widespread and millions Of people
are suffering. 1t is obvious that no
| philanthropie exertion win be too
great TO relieve the acute suffering OF
those victims Of the war who are limo
cent of any participation in It,
There can be no Americans, young
or old, rich or poor who will not wish
to have offered some little assistance
in Belgium 5 hour Of great trial. This
exhibition of the worst fate that car
befall man is frightened by the op
portunity it gives for the rest of th'
world to show its giving side.
Here in Windham county for exam
pie the 10000 people must be able t
raise say 1000 cans of baked beans
And if all the cities and towns did il
the same proportion, consider the cas-
with which Belgian suffering could b

WAR NEWS UP TO THIS MORNING

GREAT BRITAIN. -Battleships and bat !
tie cruisers detached from the British
fleet are searching the North Sea for a
German squadron of four battleships
and four cruisers which slipped from
Wilhelmshaven for a raid on the Eng
lish coast Intense interest Is being
manifested in London. Part of the Ger
man fleet has apparently been in action
already with the British ships. The
sinking of the British submarine Do
and two mine drifters is considered a
direct result of this clash. The torpedo
gunboat Halvcon was fred upon by the
German warships about 10 miles off
Yarmouth, but it escaped with little
damage.
No confrmatory news of the disaster
off the Chilian coast has been given to
the English public, and it is said that
this resport is withheld on account of
the severe criticism that might be di-
rected against the course of the Admir-
atty, especially Winston Churchill
FRANCE. - The official communique last
night reports no notable modification of
the situation in the north There has
been slight progress toward Messines
and upon several points of the front
there has been violent cannonading
without much result, notably to the west
of Lens, between the Somme and the
Anere in the Argonne, and in the for
est of Apremont In the centre, ac-
cording to the afternoon communique,
the German attack which caused the
French to lose the first slopes to the
north of Nailly and Chavonne, has moi
been continued, and a counter attack by
the French forces won back portion
of the ground which they had lost. Il

The election OF Senator William F.
Dillingham; by approximately $500
over Charles A. Proutv is
fine proof of the ability of the Re
publican state committee, which did
some of the most effective campaign
work ever seen in this state. and it is
as well fun evidence of the confidence
of Vermonters in the integrity and
ability of its senior senator 1t had
been apparent for some DAYS that the
drift of sentiment was toward the re
election of Mr.. Dillingham;, whereas
had the election occurred a month
earlier it was wellnigh certain that
Mr.. Prouty would have come through
with a substantial margin Of votes.
The contest between Senator Dilling-
ham and Mr.. Prouty, or rather be-
tween the political leaders, represent
ing the two men, was somewhat acrid
and heated but harsh things said
in the heat of campaign are pretty
soon forgotten and there will be gen
eral disposition to congratulate Mr.
Dillingham; on his success.

The property owners of Brattleboro
should not be alone in demanding regta-
tons that will prevent the erection of
wooden frame buildings in the thickly
settled sections of the town Members OF
the local fire department ought to join
with them. No matter how efficient a
fire fighting organization may be it cannot
expect to be always successful in coping
with a situation such as that which was
presented Tuesday evening on Flat street.
The fremen ought to, and doubtless viii,
be among the first to insist on fewer fire
traps in Brattleboro.
