Belgian Attaches Letter to

Washington, Oct. IS. 49, Count Won

received to-day from Berlin the text
of a communication, dated July 30. be-
fore the war began, from Il. de les
caille. Belgian Charge at st. Peters
burg. TO the Belgian Minister of For
eign Affairs, which went to the German
dead letter office when mail was in
terrupted by the war and was opened
by the German officials. The outer
cover bore the address Of man IN
Brussels who was to forward the letter
TO the Minister.
Parts of the letter, to which the AM
bassador drew special attention, say:
Germany has made efforts here, as
we'll as in Vienna, TO find some means
of avoiding general conflict. This
morning an official communication 20
the newspapers declares that the re-
serves have been called TO the colors
within certain number of provinces.
However. whosoever knows of the rcti-
cencc of Russian official 'communiques'
can boldly assert that the mobilization
Is general.
ENGLAND commenced by making it
understood that she would not let her
self be drawn into conflict. To-day,
however, everybody in St. Petersburg
is quite convinced has actually
received the sssursnce-that England
will stand by France. This support is
Of enormous weight, and has contrib
uted largely toward keeping the war
party above water"
