DEMOCRATS TO
CONTINUE Their
TRUST WARFARE
CONGRESS MAPS OUT PLANS
viii Follow All PIankS of
Platform

Washington. D. c., Jan, S.-The
administration antitrust legislation
program was completed today so far
as the preliminary work by the house
committee on judiciary is concerned.
Bills have been prepared covering
every phase of the trust question
and are ready for submission to the
full committee soon after congress
re-assembles Monday. The judiciary
committee members will confer next
week with President Wilson and the
antitrust legislation details will be
made clear.
Representative Clayton, of Ala
bama, chairman OF. the committee an
thorized the announcement that in
cooperation with Representative
Carlin, of Virginia, chairman of the
subcommittee on trusts, and Repre-
sentative Floyd, of Arkansas, he hal
finished the preliminary work of the
committee on the subject of trust
legislation. He said that bills touch
ing every phase of the subject have
been prepared" and that upon the re-
turn of the full committee to the city
the bills will be taken up for consid-
Grafton
The views of the president and of
the democratic party, as expressed
in the national platform, have been
followed in the preparation of the
bills, according to Mr.. Clayton. He
declined to give the details of the
proposed legislation, but said that
the Sherman antitrust law had been
left intact. He also stated that one
of the bills would cover interlocking
directories.
It is known that this bill has been
drawn so that it would not take eff
feet until two years after it's pas
sage. This is to permit corporations
to adjust themselves to any necessa-
ry reorganization. Members of the
committee believe that other large
interests will follow the example of
J P. Morgan & Co. in withdrawing
from directorates in other large con-
Germs.
Representative Clayton will spend
few days at Old Point Comfort, Va,
before congress convenes.

ing sounds of disorderly riot issuing
from the COW shed. Flocking to the
scene they saw the new arrival in
their midst, the COW, doing running
broad jump over near by fence, while
the owner, Mr.. Stoddard, stood by, milk
pail in hand, in open-mouthed wonder.
The new COW upon being led forth to
be MIXED had given Mr.. Stoddard one
frightened glance, and made for the
middle distance.
Mr. Stoddard was severely perplex-
ed. He knew that the Sisters Case
had MIXED the COW for several years
unhampered by such bovine capricious-
ness. Obviously there was that in his
appearance that had frightened the
COW into making fight. After mo-

FRANCE IS QUIETLY
 PREPARING FOR WAR
Awaits Decision of Russia-Troop Trains Ready and Army Represen- tatives on Duty.

Paris, July 2S.-The French govern ment and people appear to be quietly preparing for war. The government is simply awaiting the decision of Rus sia.
 Troop trains are ready and repre- sentatives of the army are on duty in the telegraph, telephone and post offices. The average citizen has read in the newspapers personal instruc- tions concerning mobilization: he long has had his orders instructing him precisely when and where to report for service. Large posters on the bull letin boards in the post offices, city halls and other public buildings will apprise him of exactly the hour when his instructions become effective.
 Austria May Halt Operations.
 According to what is believed to be responsible opinion, there remains the possibility that when Austria has oc- cupied some Servian territory she will in day or two announce her inten- tion not to proceed further, but to hold what she has taken until Seryia gives competent guarantees that she will ob- serve Austria's wishes. Russia would not then be likely to intervene. it is argued, except automatically and ne- gotiations appear to be going on at the present time between Austria and Russia.
 On the announcement of war tonight Paris became animated. There were patriotic demonstrations in the capital and many other cities throughout the republic. There were demonstrations against the war also.

Washington, July 2s.-Althoagh there were no tangible developments the Washington administration exerted itself further today toward drawing together the discordant clements in the Mexican situation.

THOUSANDS WOULD GO
 FROM UNITED STATES.
10000 Servians Ready for War and
 15oo0 of Austro- -Hungarians.


 New York, July 2s-Thousand of Servians and Austro- -Hungarians re- siding in the United States have placed themselves at the disposal of their re- spective countries. according to an- nouncements made today by the con- suls here. Telegrams from various cities in the western and middle states caused the Servian consul general to estimate that in the neighborhood of 10000 men would immediately respond to call for recruits. At the Austro- Hungarian consulate it was said that about 15.000 men of all the nationali- ties that go to make up the Austro- Hungarian empire had signified their intention of returning to aid in the de- fense of their country should they bs needed.
 "No general mobilization has been ordered" said Acting Consul General Charles Winter of Austria-Hungary.
 We have received cables today from the foreign office to that effect. As yet no general call has been made for reserves except for those persons wao
 belong to the corps already summoned to the colors. These men have their names registered with the war office , in Vienna and will receive individual notification, and immediately upon re- porting to us-or to the nearest con- United States-they will be furnished with free transportation home" The Servian consul general re- ceived a telegram this afternoon from Wilmerding, Pa, informing him that 5000 men there were ready to start for home whenever they should be needed. No call for recruits will be issued until instructions are received from the Ser vian government. it was said How ever, Servians have been asked to hold | themselves fin readiness to return for army service.
 A rumor that the imperial Russi a,S consulate here had issued a call for
 recruits was denied by Consul General

 Papers Held Down by Censor.
 Vienna is absolutely without news of the movements of the troops, which the papers are forbidden to print. A sharp censorship has been established over the press and all means of com munication. A great, quiet crowd which constantly increased in numbers assembled before the war ministry and cheers greeted the appearance of mill itary officers and the ministry officials. The evening papers published the fol- lowing inspired statement:
 'In well informed circles the view is held that so far as Sir Edward Grey's proposal is to localize the con- fiet between Austria. Hungary and Servia the former can declare herself entirely agreed with Sir Edward Grey's remarks, but regarding what he has said concerning the suppression or mill itary operations. things have proceed ed much too far to allow anything to be done in this direction"

II also reports that the Servians fired on their own river transports by mis- take. killing and wounding a number of Servian soldiers.
 The ministry of foreign affairs has addressed a verbal note to the foreign representatives, informing them Of the declaration of War and declared that Austria will, on the assumption oi similar observances on the part ot Servia, adhere to the provisions of The Hague conference of October Is, 1908 and the declaration of London of Feb l ruary 26, 1909

STREAM OF GOLD
 FLOWING TO EUROPE.
Enormous Drafts on This 'Country's Gold Reserves-About $1o5, ,ooo.o 900 is Total.

New York, July 2S.-F'urther ener- nous drafts on this country's gold reserves, having their origin in the dis turbed conditions abroad, added in no small degree to the alarm prevalent Tn the financial district today. Thus far this year total withdrawals aggregate about $105, ,0O0,000, which breaks all known records.
 Engagements today amounted to $13,000, GOO, all but $2,500,000 going to London, the balance being destined for Paris The French market has been the largest purchaser of the yellow metal here, it's total demands since January aggregating approximately $S5, 900 900. In fact, it was not until yesterday that London began pulling at this quarter presumably because of the keen competition in it's own mar ket for the gold received weekly from South Africa.
 There have been three distinct gold shipments since the year opened. The first began in January, when some $20, ,000, ,000 was taken for Paris. In May began the second movement of about $40, 100000, the greater bulk again helping to swell the contents of the vaults of the Bank of France, a part going to the Imperial Bank of Germany.
 The third and present movement was initiated last week. when the war clouds began to hover over eastern Europe. In five business days total of S2S, ,S50,000 has been taken. The supply of gold bars of requisite fine- ness gave out today and recourse was had to eagles and double eagles.
