eUBLIC HEARING ON EXTENSION OF
 CITY FIRE LIMITS

When the common Council meets next Monday night, one of the pri5l- cipal matters to come before it will be the proposed extension of the ire limits. The present limits were es- tablished more than 20 years ago. Tn view of the great increase in the num- ber of wooden dwelling houses in the West End, North End and on the East Side, many of which are large tene- ment blocks, Alderman O. c. T~'~ Of the Eleventh district has prepared a resolution fixing new limits as adyer- tised
 There will be a public hearing on on the resolution before the Council Monday night. The proposed change means that certain types of buildings

BERLIN SEEKS TO LOCALIZE BATTLE
 IN THE BALKANS

Berlin, July 2S-The German govern ment today returned an unfavorable reply to the British proposal for a conference of the ambassadors in Lon don Of the European powers in an en- deavor to bring about a settlement of the Aus stro- -Servian difficulty. In it's communication, Germany declares that it considers the suggestion of Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, as well meant and good in principle but not feasible in practice and impossible to carry out
 The communication says 1t canno$ be expected that great power hay- ing a dispute with a smaller neighbor will submit the matter to the decis- ion Of a European areopagus. Fm less 1t can be hoped that the two great powers will submit to be sum such a tribunal
 Germany makes the counter-sugge ton that negotiatiozs for peace be con- ducted between the cabinets instead of by a conference Germany, how ever. is prepared to welcome any fur ther suggestions to localize the con f1ict as far as they are consistent with her duty to her ally.
 The public interest in the capital was nervous today and alarnlist ru- mors continued to circulate. The run on the savings banks in which the poorer classes deposit their money was resumed this morning. At o'clock in the morning there were long lines of depositors outside the municipal sav- ings banks and the people insisted on having their money regardless of the reassuring statements by the officials.

AUSTRO- HUNGARY
 REFUSES ANY PLEA OF SERVlAN NATION

Vienna. July 28-It was seni-of- fciaIly announced here today Aus tria-Hungary had decided to refuse Sir Edward Grey,s proposal of an am bassad orla1 conference in London.
 From today the telegraph offices in Austria Hungary will accept mes salges only at the sender's risk. The Central Telegraph Officec here Is literally overwhelmed with despatch es over 120.O0O telegrams having been handed in yesterday when senders were notified that there would fbe great delay.
 The Austro* Hungarian foreign of fee declared today that even should Servia comply with the demands con tained in the Austrian note the gov ernnent of the dual monarchy would not be satisfied. Officials at the min istry stated that Servia's reply had

ALL EUROPE CALLS TROOPS TO COL ORS
 AT WAR THREAT

London. July 2e-The refusal by Germany and Austria-Hungary to participate in mediation conference on the Austro-Servian conflict reports of the rapid movement of Austro- Hungarian troops and the persistent downward trend of European stock markets were the outstanding deyel- oSments of the, European situation to- day.
 Preparations for war proceeded on all sides. Even Bngland's battle squadrons have all been mobilized in readiness for eventualities and the pub Hcatton of official news as to the movements of British warships has ceased. The first and second battle sQuadrons have taken on their full war stores and are ready to slip their anchors at moments notice while also have prepared and armed guards were placed today around all the magazines and oil depots.
 Germany's definite decision against participating in the ambassadorial conference proposed by Sir Edward an effort to maintain peace, is regard ed here as tantaInol1nt to a deciara- ton of Germanyss determination that Austria-Hung gary shall have an en- tirely free hand in chastising Servia unless the Balkan Kingdom accedes in full to the demands Of the dual monarchy.
 According to advices received here, Germany's refusal was couched in tedns of sympathy with Sir Edward Greyss object, but contended that the suggested conference with Austria Hungary put it in the inYidious po- sition Of appearing like the Balkan state, before a European tribunal to explain it's actions and was therefore likely to increase rather than decrease the difficulties of the situation.
 Apparently a,utheIitic reports cur rent here assert that Russia has been given positive assurances that Aus- tria-Hungary has no intention of an neIng Servian@ territory. If true, this might, 1t is thought, help the ef-s forts to localize the war should it break out.
 Thus far there has been no official confirmation of the reports of hosti1i- ties between Austria and Servia, but among the rumors published is one Of the seizure of Servian ships carrying contraband on the Danube.

and army supply service in good mum bers. There is a5western breed that grows as tall as the average horse, and in many instances taller He can strike a gait that makes the driver of a, quartermaster wagon think he has team of sprinters on the speed way. The mule population Is 4,S36,- O0O and it's value $545,245s0 1000. or greater per head than that of the horsee.
 The cavalry recruit is compelled to get acquainted with his horse on short notice. At the recruiting sta ton in Chicago especially during the Spanish-American war, the routine of breaking in the coming cavalryman was all but heart breaking. The same procedure in the main prevails now at recruiting points.
 The recruit was made to understand at once that he was to be the twin of his horse. No allowances were made that he might not be naturally as good rider as his comrades. He was told off to a horse and then be- gan his misery.
 Bareback he was drilled. No saddle was permitted, and no stirrups of any kind until he had shown confidence in his seat suff1cient to hold him there. There was great need of arnica and cold cream for several weeks. At the end Of that time the recruit cavalry man was a confident rider, even if he were not fancy one.
 All the while he had to care for his horse. And this care mean every thing appertainingst the horse The animal had to be cleaned, rubbed down, fed and watered. Saddle and bri6le had to be kept spick and span. The horses bed had to be prepared and his stall well cleaned out.
 The recruit, who may have been a. dry goods clerk and accustomed to starched shirts and collars, found a vast difference. When he was finally pronounced it to serve his horse edn- cation was completed with regular cavalry drill This also took heart breaking work. Ahgnments must be kept or officers would reprimand in a scorching way that made the new cavalryman feel like a worm.
 At last, however, in full uniform in saddle and going at a canter, the re- cruit looks like a soldier and he feels like one. It is no fiction that relates the affection between the cavalryrnan and his horse. They are so mutually indispensable that the animal seems to know as well as the man the recip- rocal responsibility.
 While army men figure on a certain use for automobiles in warfare the motor car has not yet arrived at the point of efficiency so that it can be counted upon to replace the horse There are tornup places and muddy spots that a car could not be worked in at all The foreign armies are said to have tried out automobiles much more than the United States army, and while they may be used to carry field pieces under certain conditions the horse is the dependable trans porter.
