A Hundred Thousand Soldiers in Field

The result was promptly surprising. News came
Of a vigorous campaign, the dispersal q "ht'

bandit himself. President Yuan reported these
things to the foreign ministers at PekinS and
assured them that White Wolf was creature OF

White Wolf had swept with a strong army across
the southern part Of Honsn into the next pro-

city Of Lin An-chow had fallen into his hands the

his grasp. The national army was powerless to
save it. But after threatening it for some days
hite Wolf voluntarily marched away That was
simply on grounds OF sentiment. He did not wish
to outrage the feelings Of his fellow countrymen
by selling and rayaging what to them almost

will be recalled that IL was thither that the i'm

insurgents would violate its historic precincts.
Even now Sian-fu is much more imposing city
than Peking. 1t has nearly "A million inhabitants

seventy feet high. When White Wolf left IL
untouched there was great jubllation, and the
government loudly proclaimed that he had been
beaten and forced TO retire. Just so il had

words by his raid into Anhui His answer came
promptly. Vie resumed hispWarch westward and

 The British foreign office later is- sued the following statement:
 Diplomatic relations between France and Austria Hungary being broken off, the French government requested his majesty's government to communicate to the Austro-Hun- garian amba ssador in London the fol- lowing declaration:
 Having declared war on Servia and thus taken the initiative in hos tilities in Europe. the Austro-Hun- garian government has placed itself without any provocation from France in a state of war with France, and after Germany had successively de- clared war against Russia and France. Austria Hungary has interfered in the conflict by declaring war on Russia, who already was fighting on the side of France. According to information worthy of belief, Austria Hungary has sent troops over the German frontier in such a manner as to constitute a direct menace against France In face of these facts the French govern ment finds itself obliged to declare to the Austro- Hungary government that it will take all measures permit ted to 1t to reply to these acts ana menaces'
 "In communicating his declaration accordingly to the Austro-Hungarian ambassador in London, his Britannia majesty's government has declared to his excellency that the rupture with France having been brought about in this way 1t feels itself obliged to an nounce that a state of war exists be- tween Great Britain and Austria Hungary as from midnight"

Great Britain Breaks
 With Austria Hungary

London, Aug. 13.-It is officially announced that state of war has existed between Great Britain and Austria Hungary since midnight.
 As soon as the fact became public large number of Austrians and Hun garians resident in London and who were liable to be called up for mili- tary service applied to Robert P. Skinner. the American consul general for enrolment. The clerks of the consulate general at once began stamping the mems military books. and this will be regarded by the Austrian authorities as evidence that the men were ready to perform their duty.
 In accordance with previous n- structions received from Secretary of State Bryan Consul General Skinner has notified the american cons,lls throughout the British Isles to take over the Austrian consulates.
 Ambassador Page was ready to as- sume charge of the Austro- Hun sarlan em bassy here as soon as re- dues'ed to do so. The number of 1 A"S.r'ahS and Hungarians in the hrl'lsh Isles is not known but it is expected they will add considerably
