Berlin, Aug. 3.-A further official communication, regarding French acts of hostility against Germany was published here tonight It said:
 The German troops hitherto have obeyed the orders given by the Ger man commanders not to cross the French frontier. French troops on the contrary, since yesterday have made several attacks on our frontier posts without any declaration of war having been made
 The French have crossed the from tier at several places in spite of the fact that the French government a few days ago informed us that it would not infringe on the. unoccupied zone of six miles from the frontier and since last night companies of French troops have been in occupa- ton of a, number of German villages.
 French army aeronauts have been flying over Baden and Bavaria yes terday and today throwing bombs and have violated Belgian neutrality by flying over Belgian territory into the province of the Rhine in an effort to i destroy railways.

GREAT BRITAIN MoRILIZED
 NOW AWAITS EVENTS
Has Given France Assurance That the British Fleet Will Not Permit Ger man Fleet to Attack French Coast -Germans Trying te Have Great Britain Kept Out of lt

London. Aug 3.-Great Britain has
 mobilized her forces and awaits events.
 Today she is not belligerent power,
 nor is she a neutral one.
 The government has given France
 assurance that the British fleet will
 not permit the German fleet to at
 tack the French coast. It has not ;et
 pledged itself to contribute an army lo
 the continental war.
 Distrusts Germany.
 The British government regards
 with the deepest distrust Germany s violation of Belgiums neutrality but makes no declaration as to whether it considers that measure provocation for war.
 This pronouncement of government policy, the result of two days almost continuous deliberation, was made to ! by Sir Edward Grey, secretary of state for foreign affairs. Therefore the try ing hour of suspense for the British people is prolonged indefinitely. Want Great Britain to Hold AIoof Meanwhile the German embassy in London is exertinz every effort of di- plomacy to induce Great Britain iu hold aloof from the conflict and to bring public opinion to Germany's slde The counselor of the German embassy issued a strong appeal for the neutral 1 ity of Great Britain, asserting that l Germany would agree to keep her fleet from attacking the northern and west ern coasts of France If England wotiiJ pledge neutrality. and argued thal England would gain more in the end by standing outside the European WI and using her influence as mediator when the moment was ripe Referring to this suggestion thu 1 British foreign secretary said: Il have only heard that shortly be- fore | came to the house."

GERMAN TROOPS CAPTURE
 TOWNS IN RUSSIAN POLAND.
Took Possession of Czenstochowa After
 Short Skirmish

Berlin, Aug. 3.-The German border troops from Lublinitz, Silesia, today, after a short skirmish with Russians, took possession of Czenstochowa, Rus sian Poland
 Bendzin and Kalisz, Russian Poland, also have been occupied by the Ger mans.
 Czenstochowa is a city of some 50.- 900 inhabitants, situated on the River Wuethe, near the Silesian frontier It is noted chiefly for it's manufacture of woolen and cotton cloths and paper. A picture of the Virgin in a noted con- vent there attracts thousands of pn- grims to Czenstochowa annually.
 Bendzin is a coal and zinc mining center. It has a population of slight ly over 20.000, about half of whom are Jews.
 Kalisz is the capital of the province of the same name. It is the most west erly city in Russian Poland. Its popu- lation of 10000 is engaged in various manufactures

London. August 3-All the great European powers, except Italy and most of the secondary powers, are mobilizing with all their energy, stage where any of the armies have met in battle.
 Italy will begin to mobilize official ly tomorrow although the. process probably is well under way, but Italy declares her neutrality.
 Great Britain's mobilization is near fy completed but she has not an- nounced that she will join in the gen. eral war.
 Until tonight war officially existed between Austria and Germany on one side, and Russia and Montenegro on the other There had been no official declaration of war between Germany and France on either side. But to- night the German ambassador in Paris received orders to demand his passports.
 Germany's Demand on Belgium. 7
 The most important event in the past 24 hours was Gefnlany's de- mands upon Belguim, in the form of a twelve hour ultimatum- that the German troops be permitted to cross Belgium to the. French frontier. coupled with the. promise that Bell gium intergrity should remain unim- paired at the end of the war and 
 To this Belgium refused to accede on the grounds of her rights and hon. or. ae-4
 Sir Erward Grey, the British sec reta-y for foreign affairs, made statement in the house of commons indicating tht Great Britain's inter ests and obligations could not permit her to submit to the violation of Bel gian territory. This practically left the decision as to whether Great Britain should make war to public opinion.
 British Sentiment For War.
 There is absolutely I'D doubt that British sentiment is for war. The appeals of the pacificists got no hear ing. Not one man in a hundred in Lordcn seemingly wants the nation to remain neutral.
 Germany, through her diplomats, has tried to k, ep Great Britain out by a virtual offer to refrain from using her navy against France as the price o1 Great Britain's neutrality. But the the British people clearly are con- Vinced that their honor and vital in- terests compel them to protect Bel gium, France and the other nations who are their closest neighbors.
 There is 9 report tonight that Hol- land has heen invaded through the province Of Limburg. The people O the Dutch kingdom, resolved to go tt the extrlnity, are said to be openine the dykes and flooding the countr, C would make the passage of al army impossible.
