DOGS ARE GATHERED
FL UNKEY'S SUBLIlNE
IGNORANCE SHOWN
BY That Editorial" Purportinq
to Be "Wisdom" Personified
in Evening Make-Shift.

With due apologies to the intelli-
gent readers Of the Telegram, who are
no doubt already familiar with the
war situation in Europe, this news
paper desires, for the benefit OF the
misguided readers Of the American,
who will doubtless get a wrong con-
ception Of the situation from the err
roneous facts set forth in the ignor-
ant and illiterate editorial appearing
in that paper Monday evening, to say
a word.
Dear readers Of the American, the
serious situation which threatens
widespread war in Europe does not
arise from the race prejudices OF Slavs
and Teutons, who, IN case OF war, will
not be lined up against one another
as the American wants you to believe,
but the conflict, which now seems in
evitable, will take on gigantic proper
tons involving all Europe because Of
the offensive and defensive treaty al
liances Of the principal nations. Aus
tria is member Of the Triple Al
lance, composed Of Austria, Germany
and Italy. Servia under the guardian
ship Of Russia will be backed by the
Triple Enente, composed Of Russia.
England and France.
This, dear readers Of the American,
Is the situation. Never mind what
Fluharty says, II you want to be en-
lightened on the leading questions Of
the day, subscribe for the Telegram.

BECKY NAY BE FED
IN FOR CIBLE MANNER
Thin and Pale She is Taken
from Workhouse to Tarry-
town as Witness.
10y AsseelArgp pREss,

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Becky Edel-
sohn, faint from more than weeks
fast broken internationally by taking
small quantities Of food surreptitious-
tly, was taken to Tarrytown today
from her cell in the workhouse here
where she had elected to serve three
months sentence rather than furnish
a $500 bond to keep the peace. She
was thin and pale and her condition
was considered sufficiently serious to
warrant sending a ,workhouse ply
siciaD with her. Her trip to Tarry-
town was in obedience to writ OF
habeas corpus requiring her presence
In court there as witness in the
trial OF nine Of her associates Of the
Industrial Workers of the World. The
journey was made by automobile as
the workhouse doctor feared that she
was too weak to Withstand a trip by
rail.
A matron also accompanied Miss
Edelsohn. Miss Edelsohn declared
that she would remain on hunger
strike and compel the authorities to
feed her forcibly or to release her.
She asserted that Notwithstanding the
claims Of the authorities she had not
partaken OF food with the exception Of
the whites Of two eggs since she went
to the workhouse a week ago.
Should she persist In her hunger
strike it is considered probable that
her wish to be fed forcfbly will be
realized tomorrow.

in by members Of the Watson family

breaking up furniture and dishes
threatened to kill his wife, who ran
to the home Of John Watson nearby.
Her husband pursued her to the home
OF John Watson and tried to break up
furniture there as he had done at his
own home, but met with resistance at
the hands Of Norvil and John Watson,
who gave him sound thrashing.
Thomas Watson appeared before
Justice. Carter and had "a warrant
issued charging Norvil and John Wat
son with assaMting and beating him.
They were arrested but were released
on their own recognizance to appear
for hearing. =
Norvil Watson later had warrant
issued for the arrest OF Thomas Wat
son for assanlting and beating him.
The trouble will be aired in Justice
Carter's court Thursday evening at
1880 o'clock. q
The trouble created quite a lot Of
excitement and the. whole neighbor-
hood was attracted I'd the scene by the
sounds of the breaking Of the dishes
and furniture and the cries Of the
different combatants.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Jose Cas-

Provisional President Carbajal today
emphatically denied published reports
from Toronto that General Felix Diaz
was expecting General Huerta there
to plan counter revolution in Mexico.
The report" said Mr.. Castellet, sis
attributed to Luis Elguero, one Of the
delegates to the Niagara mediation
conference and the best proof of its
falsity Is the fact that Mr.. Elguero is
now In Europe and has not been in

LONDON, July 2S.-The refusal by
Germany and Austria Hungary to par
ticipate In mediation conference on
the Austro-S -Servian conflict reports of
the rapid movement Of Austro-Hu Hun-
gary troops and the persistent down
ward trend of European stock mar
kets we're the outstanding develop
ndents oftthe European situation today.
Preparations for war proceeded on
all sides: Even England's battle
squadrons have all been modified in
preparation for any eventualities and
the publication OF official news as to
the movement 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 a minutes notice. The
destroyer fotillas around the coast
also have been prepared and armed
guards we're placed today around all
the magazines and oil depots.
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 paramount to a dec
laration. OF Germany's determination
that Austria-Hungary shall have an
entirely free hand in chastising Ser
via unless the Balkan kingdom ac-
cedes 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
position OF appearing like the Balkan
states before European tribunal to
explain her actions and therefore
likely to increase rather than decrease
the difficulties Of the situation.
Apparently authentic reports cur
rent here assert that Russia has been
given positive assurance that Austria
Hungary has no intentions Of annex
Ing Servian territory. If true, this
might, II is thought, help the effort to
localize the war, should it break out,
Thus Tar there has been no official
confirmation Of the reports OF Shostili-
ties between Austria and Servia but a
number Of rumors have been published
including one of the seizure OF Ser
vian ships carrying contraband by an
Austrian patrol on the Danube.
Announcement of the declaration
by Austria Hungary on Servia came
today Immediately after Germany and
Austria had notified Sir Edwards Grey
of their refusal to Join in mediation
conference.
II Is assumed here that the efforts
Of the European nations will now be
directed toward localizing the area
OF hostilities.
