London, July 29.-Austria- Hungary,
powerful nation. of 51,000.00O inhab-
itants, formally declared war on Ser
via. Balkan kingdom with a popula-
ton of about 100000.
Announcement of the declaration
came almost Immediately after Ger
| many and Austria had notified Sir Ed
ward Grey, British foreign minister, of
their refusal to join in mediation
conference.
1t is learned here that the efforts of
the European nations now will be di-
rected toward localizing the hostilities.
In the meantime Sir Edward Grey
took the initiative of requesting the
European powers to permit their am
bassadors in London to confer, with
a view to peaceful solution of the
controversy.
| Italy and France at once consented
to join their efforts to those of Great
Britain, but Germany and Austria re-
fused, Germany supporting her ally in
the contention that it would be undig-
nified for a great power, like Austria,
to appear before a tribunal of Eu-
ropean powers on the same status as
the little Balkan nation.
Austria-Hungary in the interval had
proceeded rapidly with the mobiliza-
ton of her great army. The entire
railroad system was utilized for the
movement of troop trains, the tele-
graph system was virtually monop-
olized for government business and a
strict censorship was imposed.
Soon after the declaration af war.
Austria seized two steamers on the
Danube, hauled down the Servian flag.
hoisted the Austrian and held the pas
sengers prisoners.
simultaneously with this news came
announcement that Servian and Mon
tenegrin troops were in active move
ment
The actual cause of Austria-Hun-
gary's decision to enter into hostile
conflict with Servia was the reply
sent by the Balkan state to the note
from Vienna demanding that Servia
take steps to put stop to the Pan
Servian propaganda in Austrian terri
tory and also punish those Servians

tion in Bosnia on June % of Archduke

eign secretary. as well meant and good
in principle, but not feasible in prac-
tice and impossible to carry out.

London, July 2s.-The darkest war
cloud which has appeared on the Euro
pean horizon since Germany sent war
ships to Agadir in 1911 has arisen
within three days.
The Servian government has refused
to comply with Austria's demands, the
most humiliating ever asked Of an In
dependent nation, for the expiation of
the Sarajevo murders for which Aus
tria holds anti-Austrian conspiracies in
Servia responsible and for guarantees
Of future good behavior.
At $3.50 o'clock, when the Austro-
Hungarian ultimatum expired. the Ser
Wan premier handed to the Austrian
minister at Belgrade Servia's reply.
The minister Immediately severed dip
lomatic relations and started for home.
The contents Of the note have not
been revealed, but the Servian lega-
tion In London understands that It ac-
cepted some Of Austria's conditions
and rejected others. Apparently Aus
tria was resoved to have the whole
bill paid or nothing.
The vital question to Europe Is
whether Russia will come to the res
cue of her little Slav brother, involv-
ing the other powers and making Of
the war a dread struggle of Slav
against Teuton for European suprem-
acy.
Reports from St Petersburg say
that the Russian army is mobilizing,

sia modified several corps when Aus
tria annexed Bosnia and the German
emperor stepped to the side Of his
ally.
The Se-vians have decided not to
attempt to defend Belgrade, the gnr-
rison having already been Withdrawn
according to Vienna reports and the
seat Of the government removed from
Belgrade to Kraguyevata, a strong
strategic point sixty miles to the south.
Many rumors were current, some as
serting that Austria had given Servia
further time in which to reply to her
peremptory note. others that she had
refused to do so, and st:ll others that
Servia maintained an attitude Of de-
| fiance and waE preparing for the worst
eventualities.
Statesmen ir all countries meantime
were making endeavors to bring about
peaceable solution and all sought to
restrain movements of panic.
Already part of the Russian press
has taken a defiant attitude, demand
ing that the government in ST. Peters
burg undertake the protection of Ser
via.
The Austrian ultimatum to Servia
was unanimously regarded in st. Pc
tersburg as an indirect challenge to
Russia.

left Vienna A military censorship
was established in the telegraph of.

Slav Minister Given Passports.
London.-New proof that Austria is
fully determined to make war on Ser.
via is seen in Sundays Developments.
while the possibilities OF general Bu-
ropean war seem groeater than ever
confronted the present generation.
The Servian reply to the Austro-
Hungarian ultimatum was an accept
ance of almost all the imperious de-
mands. except that Austrian officials
shall participate in the investigation
and fix the responsibility for the anti
Austrian propaganda.

Vienna, July 2S.-Diplomatic rela-
tions between Austria Hungary and
Servia were formally broken off Sat
urday. The Servian government wait
ed until the last moment left 1t by the
terms of the note, and only ten minutes
before the hour Of six, when the Aus
tro-Hungarian ultimatum expired, did
the Servian premier appear at the
legation and present his government
reply to the Austrian minister, Baron
Giesl Won Gieslingen.
The details of the tenor of the reply
were not revealed here, but the terse
statement was made that it was "un-
satisfactory"
Immediately upon receiving the note
the Austrian minister informed the
foreign office, and diplomatic relations
were broken off. Half an hour later
the minister and his staff with their
families had boarded train for Aus
trian territory Martial law was de-
clared throughout the Austro-Hun-
garian empire.
A high official of the Austro-H Hun
garian foreign office made the follow
ing statement:
Should Servia at this stage of af-
fairs take military measures against
Austria, every penny of the cost of
Austrian mobilization will have to be
paid by Servia."
An official communication points
out that the foreign situation has as
sumed a development which makes re-
gard for military necessities the su-
preme law. 1t proclaims a series of or
dinances applicable to the whole en-
pire, including Hungary.
These ordinances include the trans
fer of the civil administration of Bos-
MIA Herzegovina and Dalmatia to the
commander in chief; the suspension
through the empire of the constitutions
al laws on liberty of assembly; OF pri-
vate correspondence; of the press: the
suppression of juries; the restriction

sion of civilians accused OF reprehen-
sible acts against the army to military
Jurisdiction; the partial prohibition of
the export and import of products; the

generally, and the closing of the pro-
yincial diets and the reichsrath.
The communication trusts that all
Austro- Hungarian subjects will appre-
ciate the grave necessity which COM
pels the government in the exercise of
a heavy responsibility to take excep-
tional measures.
1t is reported that the mobilization
of five Russian army corps has been
ordered.
King Peter Returns.
According to messages received here
the mobilization of the Servian army
was ordered at o'clock in the after
noon. King Peter, who had hurriedly
returned to Belgrade. when the Aus
