Speaking of the situation there, the
governor in substance said.

avoiding war even to the sacrifice Of
some dignity for while it will be easy
enough to take Mexico the trouble will
be to get out of it again. Yet I feel
that we will eventually be forced into
war, and that the United States will
have to intervene. However, so long
as there is possibility of avoiding t

a chance for this but it is remote one

THE EUROPEAN WAR

week. Austria's demands upon Ser
via for amends for the assassination
Of the Archduke and his wife were
Of such nature as to lead to their
rejection. Without giving further
consideration Austria declares war
upon Servia. Russia Immediately
sided with Servia. and took up her
defense. Thereupon Germany takes
up the cudgels for Austria and be-
gins acts Of aggression against both
Russia and also against France, the
ally of Russia, which thus far had
kept out OF the quarrel.
Germany, in order to secure posi-
tions of advantage moved her troops
into the territories Of Luxembourg
and Belgium, altho she was bound by
treaty to regard both as neutral ter
ritory in event Of war. This viola

Germany against France, at once

The situation then is this, Ger
