evening edition the following comment
on the international situation:
'The peaceful tone of the official

day. finds a lively echo here. The i'm
perial German government shares the
wish of Russia for the maintenance OF
peaceful relations and it hopes the Ger
man people will support it by main
tanning a moderate and quiet attitude" ="
Military activity on the Russian side
Of the frontier is confirmed by many
evidences which have reached the ears
of German officials, but it was stated
here today that no mobilization order
order had been issued by the Russian
war office.
Private reports from the Russian
frontier say distinct indications of Rus
sian military activity have been MOTTO
ed there. The Russian regiments
which have been moving forward to
occupy such important strategic points
on the frontier as Wirballen, Russian
Poland, have been served out with $50
rounds of ammunition per man, while
hasty purchases of forage have been
made for the cavalry.
A number Of German regiments have
been moved toward the frontier as a
precautionary measure. The men
wear the new grey service uniforms
and carry their field equipment.
There was the most intense activity
in diplomatic circles here today but no
tangible developments were reported.
A French diplomat said he saw no
ground for optimism but the German
foreign office declared there was moth
ing on which to base judgment one
way or the other
The German crown prince arrived at
Potsdam today and a family council
was afterward held in the new palace.
The emporer and empress, the crown
prince and the other princes of the
imperial family were present. They

Filled With Thrills.
Thus ended the most sensational
trial with which Partisan courts have
had to deal in years. Each day pro
vided it's dramatic thrill, and though
the verdict has been pronounced, the
outcome cannot be foretold.
The session of the court Tuesday
was devoted to speeches by counsel.

oners' dock pale and worn. She col
lapsed during the course of the address
of Maitre Chenu, who scored her bit

The speech of the procurator-gener-

in tone. To the jurors he said: "Your
duty as the defenders OF the interests

London, July 29.-The seriousness OF
the European situation was reflected
today on the London stock exchange,

A government broker came into the

Three small failures were reported
early in the morning session and two
later on making the total five. None Of
them was of much Importance but it
was feared that more would occur later

Cannot Remain There.

Washington. D. c., July 29.-Secre'
tary Garrison announced today that he
would direct Brig. General Funston at
Vera Cruz to deport from Mexico, Fred
L. Boalt, the correspondent for the
Newspaper Enterprise association, who

A court of inquiry pronounced the
story false.
"There was absolutely no truth in

War in Europe to
Better Business
in United States

Washington, D. c., July 90
President Wilson kept closely
informed of the war situation in
Europe today through reports
from American diplomats
abroad, but there was no
change in the attitude of mere
observation.
Secretary Redfeld indicated
to the white house today he
had no fear that a war In Eu-
rope would have any serious ef-
feet on conditions in the United
States. 1t was the belief OF
officials close to the president
that although prices of food
stuffs might go up in this
country, general business con-
ditions resulting from the de-
mand for American products
abroad would Offset It.
Diplomatic dispatches from
Vienna brought the first off,
cial news to the state depart
ment of Austria -Hungary's
declaration of war against
Servia. But in making the an
nouncement Secretary Bryan
said that Ambassador Penfield
had not yet transmitted to the
department any formal an
nouncement from the Austrian
foreign Office that a state of war
exists between the two
countries. - rs -

The committee Of the Bourse was

formal action on the recommendation

London, July 29-While Austria
Hungary was preparing today to strike
at Servia, against whom she yesterday
declared war, the rest of the Euro
pean nations, although hoping that the
conflict would be localized, were get
ting ready for the greater war that
must ensue in case Russia should in
tervene on behalf of the small Slav ma
ton.
The state of the stock market In
London showed the situation was con.
sidered grave. Anxiety was increased
by the issue of orders to the British
feet at Portland to sail for destina'
ton which was not revealed.
In the meantime dispatches from
Vienna showed the movement OF the
Austrian forces toward the Servian
frontiers was proceeding slowly but
a strict censorship concerning the mill.
tary movements prevented the exact
destination of the troops from reach
ing the outside world. All the Austrian
and Hungarian railways were taken
over yesterday for military traffic and
transportation for the general public
was suspended. Servia, it was known,
was Just as active in moving her
troops. Strong forces were dispatch
ed to the fortified towns of Valyevo
Uzhitza on the Bosnian frontier and
to Svilajnatz in the eastern part OF the
country, while strong divisions of vol
unteers reinforced by regulars were
gathered along the river Drina near
Losnitz on the Bosnian frontier
The Montenegrins were also making
preparations and had stationed brig
ade with a mountain battery near
Priboj where women were busy oulld-
Ing earthworks.
Servian and Austrian aviators at the
same time were flying along the from
tiers trying to locate the positions of
the opposing forces.
AS far as a general European war is
concerned, diplomats in London, while
they confess the situation is most
grave, believe there is hope of avert
ine a conflict so long as the Austro-
Russian Conversations continue at
st. Petersburg.
Germans Are Uneasy.
Another danger has arisen owing to
the uneasiness in Germany at the
preparations being made by Russia
along her frontier. Ordinarily it is
pointed out Germany and Austria have
the advantage over Russia in being
able to mobilize more quickly and they
do not wish to lose this advantage.
Reports have come through from
Vienna that the Russian Poles have
organized a revolution and blown up
several magazines, but no confirmation
of this has come to hand from other
sources.

NON-CONFORMIsTs

The name of Non-conformists was first used by English dlssenters from the established church on this date. August 24th, 1862. a date popularly referred to as .4Black Bartholomew's Day" When the act of uniformity came into operation on that date, D. GOO clergymen of the established reIi- zion resigned. rather than conform to the statute "for the uniformity of public prayers and administration of the sacraments., From that time the Pur1tans and dissenters were known as Non-conformists. Prior to that St Bartholomew's Day the Puritans had formed body within the ranks of the established church, but the Bartholomew Act caused them to range themselves as a, dissenting sect outside of it. When the High church party had the upper hand in the reign of Charles l., the Puritans were pilIoried, their ears were cut off, and many were banished or fled to Amer ica- When the Puritans gained the ascendancy they treated High church. men with equal severity. After the restoration the High Church again made things unpleasant for their
 brothers in Christ" but the laws against them were relaxed by the tol- eration act of 1889.

 BRINGS THE COLD DEW

one of the most famous obsezv- ances of the day was that at the srnithheld Fair in London. The Bar tholonew Fair. as it was called, was held every 24th of August for more than seven centuries, and was not abolished until 1855. when the an n,lalsaturnalia of vice and shame be- came more than Lond ons stomach could stand. The Bartholonew Fair was the parent of the street fairs and "nlI dways which are now held lin so many American cities. and an cient prints depicting the booths of exhi bitors show that little change has been made. Flaring paintings repre- senting with much exagseration. the wonders to be seen inside. were dis played before the tents or rude wooden structures. On a raised plat form in front the freaks and .sbaIly- hoos,' and .'spielers shouted them selves horase, appealing to the pulp lie to enter. There were conjurors, and crude dramas. and pig-faced la dies. and educated pigs. and giants and dwarfs, mermaids and spotted Boys, wild beast shows and other "attractions'' to separate the sight seers from their coin. The usual ad- mission was pennytwo cents al- though the animal shows charged aa much as a shilling.
