war by Austria. has shifted sharply TO

Negotiations are afoot there be-
tween the Russian foreign minister,
ssfsius saronoff, and the Austrian
ambassador. which are designed to
.'localize" the conflict.
The nature and progress OF these
CONVERSATIONS are wrapped in the
thickest mystery. but they are the
last plank the neutral powers are
clinging to In face OF astorm which
may wash all under -
There is no doubt In British minds
that Austria has fully resolved to util-
iEe the proyocation afforded by the
sarajeyo murders to wipe the slate
dean OF all accounts against Servia
and served an ultimatum on her
which was designed to have no result
save war.
The next news expected is the oe-
cupation OF Belgrade and that even
now may be an accomplished fact.
Reports Of small encounters along the
frontier have been permitted to pass
the censor. but military experts here
believe mobilization already has been
effected and that thoroughly plan
ned campaign is well under way.
There is absolutely no enthusiasm
IN England for war-no desire for this
particular war which confronts Great
Britain. yet there Is a general belief
that her obligation to her partners In
the triple entente, as well as her In
terests as a great European power,
win force her TO support Russia and
France in any steps they may take.

At BENTLEY GRAND
"That Printer Wf Cdell'S" on Friday
Evening February s7th.
Don't Miss IL.

Messrs. Gaskill and MacVitty
have added another success to
their already large list in the
dramatization of Harold Bell
Wright's 5 widely read book "That
Printer of Udell's,' by Mr..
Wright and Fishery w. Reynolds
that will be presented at the
Bentley Grand on Friday even-
ing, February 81.
In THAT Printer of Udell's'
is found a true story of human
interest. A boy born among the
lowest surroundings, grows with
good influence and aid into a
noble man. The love and ex-
ample Of pure young girl plays
no small part in the moulding Of
his character, and when this
same girl, through evil influence
sinks into degradation, it is the
man to whose nobility she has
contributed who helps her up
and whose loving service at last
redeems her in her own eyes.
An irresistible chain of comedy
runs through the entire play
furnished by splendid charac-
ter drawing in the part of "Uncle
Bobbie" which is one of those
well.drawn characters that at
tract us from the beginning with
his homely kindness, quaint say
ings and true sterling worth.
He wins our regard and at the
same time leads the audience in
to a lighter and more humorous
atmosphere.
Nothing has been spared in
the way of a scenic production
to make the play a success and
the cast engaged by the manage
ment is highly fitted to present
the various characters in the
play.
