London, Aug. 2-The official statement
issued tonight by the French Embassy,
says, in part:
German troops have invaded Luxem-
burg. Germany has violated the neu-
trality OF Luxembourg. The British Am
bassador at Berlin asked the German

Germany Secretary Of State for Foreign
Affairs declared that he was not able to
answer.
THE German Ambassador at Paris
yesterday morning had an interview
with the French prime minister con-
cerning the Austro-Serb conflict, and es-
pecially about the decision reached by
Austria-Hungary to consider the matter
with Servia or with a neutral power
speaking in behalf Of Servia- In spite
OF this. on the afternoon of the same
day war was declared by Germany on
Russia.
France was asked to tell what she
would do in case of war between Russia

dor at Paris began to prepare everything
for his departure from the French capt.
tai.
July 81 Germany called to the nag the
last five classes of her reservists This
she could do by means of the martial law
proclaimed by Germany, which permitted
her to keep the news secret Consequent
Iy on July 81 mobilization was going on in
Germany.
I'm spite of this, France waited until

order a general mobilization This was
done for the purpose OF making It clear
that she was not the aggressive power.

NEWS STAND GRAFT Is
DOOMED In NEW YORK
City Officials Will Eliminate System Of
Selling Location as Result
of Nioorous Camnaion
of NIgorous CampaIgn.

New York, Aug. 2-One form OF graft
concerning which there has been much
controversy in New York is soon to ba
eliminated. according to plans which ara
now being perfected. This is the grafu
which has to do with news stands.
Charges were made sometime ago thaa
these stands were sold or distributed bY
certain city officials to their favorites
and followers Many OF the stands in the
busiest sections draw in a large revenus
and there is more than one case on rec
ord in which the men who operated them
have been able to retire with fortunes
which would not be considered small even
in these days.
Hereafter, however. il Is proposed td
eliminate fayoritism in the allotment OF
the stands and in awarding permits and
10 give preference to applicants who find
II difficult to make a living in any other
way because of deformity or affiiction-
The crippled and blind and those afiicted
with consumption in a negative state
and those with other diseases making OUT
door work vital to their weIl-being. viii
receive first consideration. II is, OF
course, not proposed to disturb a holder
Of a news license whose case is needy
and who by industry has built up liveH-
hood. II is only in cases Of new locations
or where old locations have become
vacant that those whose physical condi-
ton is such that they cannot follow any
other occupation will be granted licenses
over those physically sound.
The license commission department ID
satisfied that there has been wholesale
speculation by a few men in the past, and
its present campaign indicates its determ-
ination to put a stop to the syndicate
news stand business. In future no per-
son will be permitted to hold more than
one stand license. and as far as possible
the department will endeavor to make
stands support two families instead OF
one.

A Smooth, White Skin
That DefieS Weather

During the coming months of biting
winds and intense cold, you who would
keep your skins smooth, white and vel
vety, should turn your attention to mer-
colized wax. Nothing else Will so effec-
lively remove chapped, roughened or
discolored surface. BY gradually absorb
ing the weather-beaten cuticle. the COM
plexion is kept in perfect condition, and
even the beauty OF expression appears
more pronounced If your skin be
blotchy. pimply. freckled. coarse. sallow
or over-red, why not shed it? One ounce
of ordinary mercolized wax, to be had at
any druggists. will completely transform
the most unsightly complexion in less
than a fortnight. Use the wax nightly,
like cold cream, washing 1t off mornings.
If weather, age or poor health has
marred your face with wrinkles. here's
good news. You can quickly remove
every line by using harmless. refresh
ing face lotion prepared by dissolving l
