The imminence of all Europe be-

the exporting of copper and other

London, Aug. 1:-Russia and
Germany have broken. Reports from
all points agree that diplomatic re-
lations were severed at noon today.
The German ambassador to Russia
has demanded his passports. The
German ambassador to France has
asked the United States to act for
his country when he leaves Paris.
Telephone communication between
England and the continent has end
ed Fro I out of the mass of secrecy
entailed by the most emphatic CEN
sorship ever known, these facts stand
out to emphasize that the general
crash which will change the map OF
Europe is about to begin. There is
practically no hope of peace.
Russia ignored the ultimatum OF
Germany to which the kaiser de-
manded that mobilization cease. At
the same time France refused to tell
Germany what her intentions were
in the event Of war between Germany
and Russia. This so impressed the
German ambassador to France that
he Immediately asked Myron I,
Herrick, the American representative
to France, to take over his duties In
the event OF war; This Herrick will
do, having already asked permission
from President Wilson.
The tension is constantly growing
here in England. The mobilization
orders are prepared and await only
signatures. King George continues
his efforts to force a resumption OF
negotiations, but even he is reported
to have lost hope. The breaking on
of diplomatic relations between Ber-
lin and st. Petersburg must inevita-
bly, be followed, If they have not been
already, by the breaking off of the
relations between Berlin and Paris.
There is no doubt Of Frances inten-
tion of coming to the aid of her ally,
Russia.
The German and French soldiers
already confront each other on the
frontier. The French officials who
have talked about the situation nave
insisted that the Germans were try
ing to gorde the French into some
overact 1t is expected that the f1rst
clash will likely be between the Ger
mans and France.

his left arm mangled and was al
most exhausted by the loss of blood
when found along the tracks.

IItimatum Has Expired.

Special by UnTed FTeSS HHe'
London, August 1.-That Ger
many's ultimatum to France and
Russia, demanding that they cease
war preparations-if one actually
was given-expired at noon, Is the
concensus of the newspaper specials
from the continent Inasmuch as
there has been no action by Germany
and neither France nor Russia has
discontinued their warlike prepara-
tions, officials here are douDtful
that any such ultimatum ever was
issued. They believe that Germany
did not ask an explanation OF the
general war preparations, but they
are now satisfied that there was new
er any demand made that was accom-
panied by threat.
The censorship continues and al
most impenetrable cloud over the
happenings on the continent. Brlef
disiointed dispatches come hlter1ng
through hours after they were flled.
All emphasized the feverish war
preparations, but none contains the
details of the developments OF the
hour. This adds to the apprehen-
sion here in England as it is accept
ed that this universal censorship
means only that the explosion must
come.
The conditions on the Franco-Ger-
man border have been brought to a
critical stake due to German troops
stopping through trains, seizing the
locomotives and tearing up tracks. 1t
Is reported that a detachment OF
German cavalry actually crossed the
border and entered France. This has
infiamed the French, although the
Germans Immediately withdrew.
Tracks were tom up and guns placed
in position at Pagny-Sur-Meselle.
Four French locomotives were seized
at Montreaux-Vieux, after railroad
tracks had been torn up. Motor cars
carrying tourists have been seized
by the German troops and their oc-
cupants sent back to French soil.
Large bodies of French and German
troops are now patrolling the border
With the Germans seizing French
property at unguarded points and 1t
is feared fighting may soon break out
on the border.
