GERMANY'S REPLY NOT
FAVORABLE TO. PEACE
Declares British Proposal In
possible to Garry Out.

Berlin, July 29.-The German gov.
ernment has returned an unfavorable
reply to the British proposal for a
conference of the ambassadors in Lon
don of the European powers in an
endeavor to bring about a settlement
of the Austro-Servian difficulty.
In it's communication Germany de-
clares that it considers the suggestion
of Sir Edward Grey, the British for
eign secretary, as well meant and good
in principle, but not feasible in prac-
tice and impossible to carry out.
1t says that it cannot be expected
that great power having dispute
with smaller neighbor will submit
the matter to the decision of Euro.
pean Areopagus. Far less can it be
hoped that. two great powers will sub
nit to be summoned in the role OF
accused before such tribunal.
Germany makes the counter sug.
gestion that negotiations for peace
be conducted between the cabinet in
stead of by a conference.

office declares that even should

reply had made it impossible
for Austria Hungary to adhere

compliance by Servia with the
demands made on it could no

Berlin, July 29.-Large bodies of
troops in field uniform and equipment
moving through the streets of Berlin
aroused the greatest excitement in
the city and indicated the sudden turn
for the worse taken in the Austrian
servian situation.
It was officially declared the move
ment of troops was of no significance,
as they were merely changing quar-
ters, but this explanation was not ac-
cepted by the crowds in the streets,

London, July 29.-Ofhcial notifica-
tisn of the declaration of war was
sent to Servia by the Austro-Hunga-
rian government.
Announcement of the declaration of
war came almost Immediately after
Germany and Austria had notified Sir
Edward Grey. the British foreign min
lister, of their refusal to join in
mediation conference.
1t is assumed here that the efforts
of the European nations will now be
directed toward localizing the area of
hostilities. zS
Preparations for war are proceed
tie squadrons have been mobi1ized
and the publication of official news
as to movements of English warships
has ceased.
The First and Second battle squad.
rons have taken on full war stores
and are ready to slip anchors at a
moments notice. The destroyer flo-
tillas around the coast also have been
prepared and armed guards were
placed around all the magazine and
| oil depots.
Austria to Have Free Hand.
Germany's definite decision against
| participation in the ambassadorial
conference proposed by Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary,
in an effort to maintain peace, is re-
! garded here as tantamount to a dec
laration of Germany's intention that
| Austria-Hungary shall have a free
hand in chastizing 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
terms of sympathy with Sir Edward
Grey's object but contended that the
suggested conference would place
Austria-Hungary in the invidious po-
