FOUR LEADING EUROPEAN
POWERS ENGAGED IN w

London.-Four great powers of En-
rope, Austria-Hungary, Russia, France
and Germany, are now engaged in
actual warfare, but two of them Ger
many and France, not only have not
declared war against each other. az
far as is known here, but have not
even severed diplomatic relations
This Is despite the fact that Ger
many's ultimatum to France has
neither been ignored nor rejected
The explanation of this would aY-
pear to be that Germany and France
are each seeking to throw upon the
other the onus of beginning the war
In fact, while the nations of Europe
are flying at each Others throats,
they are vieing with each other in
protesting their desire to maintain
peace and repudlate the responsible
ity for plunging the whole Continent
into bloodshed.
Germans Violated Treaty.
In this curious situation France. &C.
cording to British opinion, has the
strongest justification. She certainly
was the last to mobilize and seems to
have taken the greatest precautions
to avoid frontier collisions. On the
other hand, Germany, in addition to
invading French territory without
making a formal declaration Of war
has violated the neutrality of Luxem-
burg and declines to give any ur-
dertaking to respect Belgium neutral
fly.

Mr.. McChord held that the reasons
which the majority held TO warrant
an increase west OF Pittsburg applied
equally to the territory east.
The majority. headed by Chairman
Harlan, held that rates west of Pitts
burg were the lowest in the country,
and warranted an increase. While il
WAS held that the income of the
Eastern railroads was smaller than
demanded in public interest, mo
showing had been made warranting a
general increase. The real relief, the
commission held, for the New Eng
land roads and those in Central
Freight Association territory. was
financial reorganization upon a sound
basis.

INVASION OF FRANCE HAS
BEGUN AT VARIOUS POINTS

London.-The German invasion OF
France has begun, according to au-
thentic information received in Lon
don, without, so far as known, dec
laration of war having been made.
Two German forces are now con-
verging from the East in the direc-
ton Of the French capital.
German troops have crossed the
French frontier at a point near the
village Of Grey, between Nancy and
Strassburg, and the German soldiers
who had invaded the Grand Duchy Of
Luxembourg, neutral territory between
Belgium and Germany, are reported
as marching on the French fortified
town of Longwy.
The German force which came into
France near Grey, which is forty
miles from Nancy, is reported TO have
been repulsed with heavy losses, but
this has not yet been confirmed.
Germany Pushes Operations.
Apparently, the German army is
duplicating the first movement of the
Franco-Prussian war. On August 2,
1870, forty-four years ago yesterday
the French and Germans clashed in
the first battle of that war at Saar-
brucken, where the Prince Imperial,
under the orders of the Emperor, re-
ceived his famous baptism of fire."
1t appears that Germany is taking
the fullest possible advantage of her
supposed superiority in rapid mobili-
cation over France. The plan of the
German Emperor, according to mill
tary observers here, is to vanquish,
or attempt to vanquish, France in the
interval before Russia will be able to
create serious trouble on the north
ern frontier. II is supposed that Rus
sian mobilization will take about
three weeks.

The Color Line at Panama.

The huge army OF men engaged in
the work Of digging the Panama canal
were of many natiOnalities, and of
two distinct races The work of direc-
ton and the mechanical work Of the
higher sort was done by white men,
but most Of the actual manual labor
was performed by West Indian ne
grOes.
To have made a racial distinction
among the employees might have had
a disastrous effect, on account of in
ternationl complications. So it was
decided to make the distinction, not
in the color of the skin, but in the
color of the money with which the
laborers were paid. Therefore, there
was a gold roll" for the higher class
of employees and a silver roll" for the
lower class of employees, the one paid
in gold, and the other in silver coin.
