The Nations Lining Up
lFrom the WashIngton Post.l

England's declaration of war upon
Austria follows closely upon the
breaking OF relations between France
and Austria. The pressure that will
now be brought upon Italy may be so
severe as TO force ii to take sides,
although it is endeavoring to main
tam neutrality. It may be taken for
granted that Austria will supplement
the demands of Germany that Italy
shall side with her old allies. These
demands. pressed home, can hardly
fail to result In war between Italy

more and more insistent upon war.

.AUSTRIANS lose HEAVILY
IN BATTLE With SERVIAHS
BY The United Press.

By The United Press.
LONDON, Aug. 15.-The first de-
tails Of the situation along the Ser
vian-Austrian frontier came today
from several sources at Nish. The re-
ports agree that after severe lighting,
the Servian- -Montenegrin armies,
which have combined, drove the Aus
trians back with a loss running into
the thousands. The Austrians began
a general movement Thursday night
along the Danube from the Rouman-
ian border to Belgrade. The Servian
forces had anticipated this movement
and We're heavily entrenohed wich
plenty of artillery. All hight Thurs
day and until afternoon on Friday, the
battle ragged, the Servians slowly but
surely pushing the Austrians back
Meanwhile, an Austrian force num-
Dering 10000 men, with all branches
represented, crossed the Save river
from klenac to Schabatz and effect
ed q junction with another Austrian
force entrenched at Eoznitsa. They
were attacked by the Servian army
and continuous lighting was report

Financial Leadership
For The Country
tFrom the New Yorll sun.l

So far the financial and CONNER
cal emergency which confronted the
country on the outbreak OF the Euro
pean war has been met satisfactorily
by the unorganized cooperation Of
banking and business interests and
the Government. In the last day or
SO there have been indications that
the situation could be best handled
Fl ON now on If concerted effective
action could be procured under in
telligent, authoritative leadership.
Suggestions have been ventilated
this week for the adoption OF expedi-
cnts on behalf of which emergency
could be urged, but there has been
little else TO commend them There
are manifest difficulties to be over
come in maintaining the country's
commercial and financial honor un-
tarnished by the prompt settlement
of obligations at present accruing
abroad or pressing for payment in
the near future II is a question,
however, II resort should be had to
statutory amendment In the process
Of overcoming difficulty so readily as
Is coming to be freely proposed.
The request made to the Federal
Reserve Board TO consider the adj
visibility of legislation sanctioning
the use Of bank notes as part Of the
legal reserves of the national banks
inspires the reflection that the
Federal Reserve Board has an excel
lent opportunity TO assume charge
o. financial affairs forthwith and as
sert the necessary headship In the
direction Of measures instituted to
facilitate the customary operations OF
commerce and finance.

ing Belgium and Holland, and there
by adding immensely to her CONNER
cial and naval resources.
Turkey has announced its intention
70 remain neutral 1t may have oc-
casion to revise it's plans soon. Ger
man victories would almost certainly
result in active and aggressive action
by Turkey, directed against Greece,
for the purpose of recovering lost
Balkan territory and the Aegean is
lands. Bulgarian military activity
indicates that the Balkan nations will
all be involved, willingly or other
wise. One Of the oddities of the
news is the declaration Of war upon
Germany by little Montenegro
state of affairs that would provoke
the worlds mirth If other nations
were not at war Montenegro. how
ever, is in a position to work much
damage to Austria, and IL italy should
come TO her aid, with Servia also
aligned against the Austrian, stranger
things might happen than the expan-
sion of Montenegro into a good-sized
kingdom
Naval engagements of great impor-
tance may be expected soon in the
Mediterranean. A clash between the
Austrian fleet and that Of France or
Great Britain appears to be imminent.

MARKETS OPEN no AMERICA.

From the Washington Post.
Now is the time for the United
States to seize the markets of South
America, and not only to gain a posi-
tion there from which the nations OF
Europe cannot dislodge us. but to Sc
cure also the same relative situation
with regard to certain commodities
that Liverpool, Hamburg, and other
European cities occupy in relation to
wheat and nitrate. Liverpool has
always fixed the price of wheat
throughout the world, and Hamburg
dictates the price of nitrate" oh
served A. H. Wheelwright, an Ameri-
can importer, Of Valparaiso, Chile,
at the Raleigh. "Chile produces
practically all the nitrate in the
world. Large quantities come to the
United States. hut Hamburg has been
the distributing center and has al
ways fixed the price. Now the ship
ments to Hamburg are shut off owing
to the war The natural tendency
Of Chile would be to turn to this
country, and if we have enterprise
enough we shall grasp the oppor-
tunity to take away from Hamburg
the control of the nitrate market and
the advantage OF saying how much
the price of nitrate shall be to our
farmers.
The opening of the Panama Canal
will undoubtedly bring about a big
increase of the commerce between
Chile and the United States. It will
result in larger shipments of ferti-
lizer, and i'm return we shall be in
position to ship our coal to Chile.
which is a big consumer. There is
no doubt that the Chileans would
welcome the chance TO transfer the
balance Of its trade from Germany
to the United States. If this Euro
pean war has demonstrated anything
il certainly has convinced the South
Americans that this country occupies
the most natural position in relation
to commerce with them of any on
earth. and that Il can be and must
be the most dependable. not only
for supplying them with things they
must have, but for providing a mar
ket for their products"

SUNDAY CONCERTS AT
The SPRINGS PARK

The usual free Sunday concerts
by the park orchestra will be given
in the theatre at Brandywine Springs
Park on Sunday and on Monday Car
nival Week will open and is expected
to prove the biggest event in the his
tory Of the park. The park has been
beautifully decorated for the occa-
sion and looks prettier than ever be-
fore.
For the park theatre the manage
ment has secured the best vaudeville
bill which has been presented this
season and the best agrument as to
its merit is the fact that three of the
acts on the bill are this week playing
at keith's Theatre, Philadelphia and
come direct to the park. The bill in
eludes tho Clara Cook Sonora Trio,
q singing and musical act Of more
than ordinary merit: Corr and LaTell
In a novelty comedy act which is far
above the ordinary; Cotter and Bonl-
den in a clever. comedy. singing,
dancing and museal comedy act which
has never failed to make a hit and
Billy Davis, a black face comedian
who is known to most theatre goers
as one Of the very best in the busi-
ness.
On Thursday and Friday the local
musicians union will have a musical
festical and the affair will be for their
benefit. On those occasions nomi-
nal admission will be charged to the
theatre and IN addition to the regular
bill Gordon's Pioneers Minstrels will
appear. There will be a band con-
cert In which non-professional bands
Will contest for prizes on Thursday
night and a masked carnival III which
there will be prizes offered on Fri
day night, On both nights there will
be dancing In two payilions with a
big orchestra for the ordinary dances
and band of thirty pieces for the
marches. There will be other musi-
cal events as we'll.
Probably the most novel feature
ever offered at a park will be carry
ing a message to Garcia. The one
who is successful in delivering mes
sage to this mysterious man who will
be known only TO the park manager
and a committee will get a prize of
fifty dollars In gold. There will be
a description of Garcia printed so
that all may study 1t and all will have
an equal chance to win the prize. The
messages will be printed on cards
which will be given with each pur-
chase made at any OF the stands in
the park. There is going to be con-
siderable fun and some one is going
to get fifty dollars.
