Confronted with this situation,
the first thought Of the powers form
ing the Triple Entente was to gain
time to examine the conflict with
greater care, and if possible to rem
der it less acute. The powers there
fore asked that Vienna extend the
period Of delay allowed Servia for her
answer. Then Austria, fearful that
she would be left without a pretext
of war, declined or avoided the re-
guest for an extension and declared
insufficient the Servian answer, which
was given to her in good time and
whicha Omitted and accepted her
principal demands.
Austria thereupon ordered her
minister at Belgrade to leave the Ser
Wan capital (July 26) and diplomatic
relations with Servia were severed
= with this development the situa-
ton became considerably aggravated.
The Triple Entente powers, however.
still endeavored to bring about set
tlement. In the meantime NJ. Won
Schoen, the German ambassador in
Paris. demanded that France exert
her influence on Russia in a peaceful
sense, but he refused to exert similar
peaceful influence at Vienna.

Asters are principally grown for cut ting. However some of the dwarfer kinds make excellent bedding plants.
 Foremost among these are the queen of the market types which are of com pact growth, not over eight inches tall, and so free-flowering that each plant is transformed into miniature pillar of color
 Dwarf pyramidal bouquet, Shakespeare, Waldersee and the dwarf types of comet aster are all ideal bedding plants, accord ing to the definitions offered above. Nc other annuals equal these for the massive effect obtained with even a limited mum Der of plants and they bloom faithfully during their season.
 Asters are an exception to a great many flowers used for bedding in regard tc the soil used They must have rich soil to do their best and great care should be exercised to grow them without permit ting their growth to be checked at any time.
