RUSSO.GERMAN BREAK.
Rupture of Diplomatic Relations Fol-
low Dramatic Incidents

St. Petersburg, Aug. 2.-The rup-
ture of diplomatic relations between
Russia and Germany was dramatic.
1t was midnight Friday when Count
Won Pourtales, German ambassador
to Russia, formally asked Foreign
Minister Sazonoff that Russia cease
her mobilization in twelve hours.
The allotted period passed without en-
answer.
At 7 o'clock Saturday evening
Count Won Pourtales again asked II
Russia would cease mobilizing her
forces. To this the Russian states
man replied:
"In so much as the Russian gov
ernment has not answered within the
time you specified, it follows that
Russia has declined to agree with
your demand"
Three times Count Won Pourtales
repeated the German ultimatum and
each time the Russian foreign min
lister gave the same firm negative.
Finally Count Won Pourtales bowed
and left the room. He and the mem
bers of his staff at once departed
from St. Petersburg by way of Fin
land.
According to the Novoe Vremya,
Count Won Pourtales held the type
written texts of two replies from
Germany. One was for the presenta-
tion in the event of Russian accept
ance of the German ultimatum and
the other in case of its rejection. In
his agitation the German ambassador
presented both replies to NJ. Sazonoff
at the same time.
The protection of Russians in coun-
tries at war with Russia has been en-
trusted to Spain.

All Europe Involved in
Greatest Modern War
COTTON EXCHANGES CLOSE.
European Crisis is Felt on Wall
Streets Market.

New York, July 31.-The vast and
complex machinery of the securities
markets of the world came to COM
plete halt today for an indefinite Pc
riod. 1t was an occurance unprece-
dented in history.
With all Europe seemingly on the
verge of war, the continental en-
changes closed several days ago with
the London market following suit to-
day, the New York stock exchange
would have been called upon to bear
the weight of the worlds financial
burdens. 1t virtually had done so
all week, for while the London mar
ket was open, transactions were nom
inal. The unloading Of stocks here
by panic-striken Europe during the
last four days and the consequent
collapse of prices made history in
Wall street.
To continue longer to bear the
burden, in the opinion of the bank
ers whose influence determines the
course of events in the street, would
have been hazardous in the extreme.
After a period of hesitation and ex-
treme nervous tension it was decided
ten minutes before the hour set for
the beginning of business today, that
the exchange would not be opened.
This action closed the last great mar
ket of the world. All the other
American exchanges quickly followed
suit.

matum to France, asking that coun'
try to define what attitude she would
assume in case of war by Germany
and Austria against Russia, was to
expire, but it is believed will not be
long before diplomatic relations will
be ruptured or war declared.
The German emperor and his ad-
visers have maintained to the last
that they made supreme efforts for
peace, and that the last of the series
of appeals from Emperor William to
Emperor Nicholas was a telegram re-
pudiating responsibility for the ca
lamity threatening the world, on the
ground that, while Germany was me-
dating with hAustria-Hungary at Rus
sia's request, Russia by her general
mobilization, was threatening Ger
many's safety.
First Shots of War.
The first shots in the Russo-Ger-
man war were exchanged between
patrols today near Prostken, one
hundred and twenty miles southeast
of Konigsburg.
The only redeeming feature OF the
darkest prospect with which Europe
has been faced for half century is
that Italy has declared her neutrality.
How long that neutrality can be
maintained is an exceedingly deba-
table question.

RUSSIA STANDS By SERVIA.
Will Not Permit Execution of Small
NeiShbOr.

Paris, July 31.-The Temps today
relates details of the conversations
between Count Won Pourtales, the
German ambassador and Sergius Saz-
onoff, the Russian foreign minister,
in St. Petersburg yesterday.
Count Won Pourtales first asked
whether, in case Russia were assured
Austria would not retain any terri
tory conquered in Servia, Russia
would stop her mobilization.
To this NJ. Sazonoff replied: NO,
and said that Russia could not permit
the execution" of Servia, which had
been announced by Austria.
Count Won Pourtales then asked NJ.
Sazonoff under what conditions Rus
sia would demobilize.
NJ. Sazonoff answered that any
question of this sort must first be
raised at Vienna, which had commit
ted acts of war and made declarations
which alone had determined Russia
to mobilize.
The conversation did not continue
further.
The German government, on re-
ceipt of Count Won Pourtales's report
according to the Temps, did put it
self into communication with Vienna.
which up to that time it had refused
to do, but, to be exact, Germany af-
firmed that it was not exercising pres
sure nor having recourse to media
ton, but was simply asking for in
formation-nothing else.

London, August -Four great
powers of Europe-Austria-Hungary,
Russia, France and Germany-are
engaged in actual warfare, but two
of them, Germany and France, have
not openly declared war against each
other, as far as is known here, and
have not even severed diplomatic re-
lations. This is despite the fact that
Germany's ultimatum to France
either has 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 war
that may plunge all Europe into
bIoodshed In fact, while the nations
of Europe are flying at each others
throats they are vieing with each
other in protesting their desire to
maintain peace.
In this curious situation France,
according to British opinion, has the
strongest justification. She was the
last to mobilize and seems to have
taken the greatest precautions to
avoid frontier collisions.
On the other hand Germany, in
addition to invading French territory
without making a formal declaration
of war, has violated the neutrality OF
Luxemburg and declines to give any
promise to respect Belgian neutrality.
The efforts of the British ambassa-
dor at Berlin to secure such a pledge
have been wasted. 1t is difficult to
see how Great Britain can avoid be-
ing drawn into the conflict to protect
Belgian and Dutch neutrality. On
this point Premier Asquith's' official
announcement in Parliament Monday
is await with intense anxiety.
Short of actual formal mobilization
the British government is taking all
necessary steps to meet a situation
unprecedented in the nations history.

GERMANY VS.. RUSSIA.
Following Ultimatum Mobilization
Order is Issued.

London, August 1.-Events in the
European crisis developed today
with startling rapidity. The German
ultimatum to Russia, demanding that
Russia cease the mobilization Of her
army, expired at noon, and at sis
o'clock this afternoon the German
emperor signed a mobilization order.
At 1880 o'clock the German am
bassador at St. Petersburg, Count
Won Pourtales, delivered declara-
ton Of war in the name of his govern
ment to the Russian government and
the entire staff of the embassy imme-
diately left st. Petersburg. Although
after the warlike speeches delivered
by the German emperor and the i'm
perial chancellor at Berlin on Friday,
no other result could be expected.
Hopes that the dread event might be
averted had been raised by the inter
vention of King George in St. Peters
burg and the fact that the German
Reichstag was not to be convened
until Tuesday. Hence, the actual
declaration of war had not been ex-
pected for another day or two.
Now the die is cast and Europe is
to be plunged into general war
which has been the apprehension OF
European statesmen for generations
It is now only a question of how
soon a state of actual war will exist
between Germany and France.

Washington, August 2.-Federal
government machinery was turned
today toward the protection Of plans
to fortify the American banking sys-
tenn so that the nations share in the
financial burden of the European

circles it was thought any unusual
strain would be manifest first in New

Big Sum to New York.
The treasury today shipped about
500 900 900 of the Aldrich-Vreeland
currency to the sub-treasury in New
York. This currency can be issued
on the security of high-class CONNER
cial paper or State or municipal
bonds, which asks for currency in
exchange, and the special association
of which the bank is member. In
addition, the security must be ac-
ceptable to the government. Some
officials in Washington expect Mr..
McAdoo to use his influence to keep
the New York stock exchange closed
for some time. He is instructed to
show that the government does not
favor the reopening Of the exchange
at this time. The impression also
was evident among officials tonight
that party differences in congress
are to be laid aside for the present.

can count upon unanimous support

Few people, fancy, would say, after

a serious young man protest that
Shakespeare had damned Desdemona
by allowing her at her last gasp to
exculpate Othello. I have also known
people who objected vehemently to
the late Mark Twain because he said
SO many things that were not so. But
there are occasions when lies are
taken for granted, even by the law.
A man on trial for his life is sup
posed to tell the truth, but not If it

Young Cicero Binks was an erudite
youth, and regular demon for knowl-

''swotted' to tell you the truth, for
eight or ten hours every day. To give
you some little idea of his worth, he
knew to a fraction the age of the earth,
the actual weight of the moon and its
girth, and how far all the stars were
away.
He could tell you the reason why
eggs are not meat, why toadstools
and hedgehogs are not good to eat,
also why there can never be cold
without heat, and why bumblebees
don't make honey. He could analyze

luxemburg's Soldiers.

The grand duchy of Luxembourg,
which recently, because of the strong
minded young woman who rules the
little country, has occupied consider
able space in the newspapers, has an
army, including musicians, numbering
ESQ men. The soldiers of Luxembourg
are sumptuously lodged. Each one
has his room with hot and cold water,
all the conveniences of a hotel and
flowers at the window The trade of
soldier in the grand duchy is not for
war but for administrative uses. For
this reason the recruits are most
carefully selected. They are required
to be handsome young fellows whose
height is not to be below five feet
six inches. Recently a candidate pre-
sented himself who received full ad-
miration of the jury of admission.
Handsome and well made, he meas
ured not less than five feet ten inches,
but the new soldier disturbed all the
regulations of the army 1t was found
necessary to have a uniform made
