veteran aviator. who recently re-
turned from tour of the principal
aeronautic centres of Europe, said
today that the German and Austrian
aerial forces were the best in Europe.
'They have developed the water
cooled motor system to perfection -
he said, while the French have given
most attention to the air-cooled en-
CINE. The result is shown in recent
world records for aviation that have
been won by the Germans for dura-
ton. distance and altitude. including
the long sought fight lasting twenty
four hours without stop.
''The German and Austrian ma
chimes climb high and fast. go far
and land well, all advantages sought
by military airmen. Their good quail
ties give confidence to the pilots, so
it is not surprising to see them carry
ing off the principal worlds records,
leaving out speed. These high-speed
machines do not land we'll on rough
ground. Some of them come down
at such speed that they run a mile
before they can stop. For military
purposes they are of little use.
Another reason for the German
/ and Austrian superiority is that theil
pilots fly by instrument not by guess.

Popular Enthusiasm
for War Against Servia
Does Not Abate in Vienna

VIENNA, July 31.-The tension in
Vienna was greater today than at any
time since the start of the interna-
tional crisis, although nothing definite
had occurred to change the situation
for the worse.
The Neue Freie Presse insists today
that Russia must cease to procrasti-
nate and must say distinctly and I'M
reseryedly what she intends to do.
Popular enthusiasm in connection
with the war against Servia shows no
signs of abatement.
An appeal for Red Cross nurses to-
day met with an immediate response
from 1000 women and girls belonging
to all classes of society. who called
at the hospitals and registered their
names.
Archduchess Maria Theresa applied
to Emperor Francis Joseph for per-
mission to be enrolled as a Red Cross
nurse.
Vienna was overfowing today with
people who had deserted the summer
resorts and were Fastening to their
homes.

mands that Austria take an agrees

will be forced upon Austria at any

asks why Austria should wait until
Russia is fully prepared.
"Once more fate gives the die into

WAR RESERWSTS
!. ARE ASSEMBLING
Austrians Numbering 5000 in
Various Sections of Country
Ready to Sail.

NEW YORK. July s1.-The first
body of reservists and volunteers to
prepare to leave this country to fight
for Austria Hungary in the war
against Servia is assembling here,
preparatory to sailing ON the first
liner bound for Austrian ports. A
majority of these men, 1t was said
today, are Croatians
The 200 reservists from Wheeling,
w. Va, and Columbus, O., and other
points west of Pittsburgh already in
the city were expected to be Joined
today by 600 men from Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Scranton and
Wllkes-Barre and other points in
Pennsylvania.
ABOUT 100 Austrian and Hungarian
volunteers from this city will be
among the first to return to Austria.
At the offices of the Austro- Hunga-
rian consulate the addition of several
hundred names yesterday increased
the lists of volunteers for active SER
vice from various sections of the
country to more than 1000 men, DR..
Charles Winter acting consul-gen-
eral, stated that he expected TO know
by tomorrow how many of the re-
servists in this country had received
summonses from the Vienna war Of
fee.
There is much activity about the
German consulate here concerning
the general European war situation.
To callers who expressed a desire to
return to Germany for military duty
f. III. Fake, the consult general, ex-
planned that all reservists drawn by
the German war office for service
would be notified directly by mail,
and that credentials, upon presenta-
ton at the consulate. is good for
transportation to Germany
Michael M. Oustineff, the Russian
consul-general, has as yet received
no word as to Russia's intentions in
the Austro-Servian war. Many Rus
SLAMS had offered their services, he
said, but until definite word was re-
ceived no plans for their transporta-
ton abroad would be made.
Officials of foreign steamship lines
are admittedly anxious over the war
situation. The American line vessels.
four in number, and two of the Red
Star line that fy the American flag,
1t was pointed out today, were the
only liners that may cross the At
lantic without fear of being held up,
except at blockaded ports.
Reports at local steamship agencies
and offices of express companies.
given out today, show that more than
10000 Americans are now travelling
in Europe. This is based on figures
OF steamship companies, which show
that 10000 persons went abroad up
to July "a. OF these about 49, 900 have
returned. In the event of a general
war 1t would require many trips of
the liners that would not be affected
to bring the 100000 Americans home.
At several hotels it was said that
many persons who had come to New
York to embark for Europe had can
celed their passage, while others had
postponed their departures until as
sured that conditions in Europe made
travel safe.

NEW YORK, July 31.-Intensive
study of rival military organizations
by the general stats of European
powers in the last half century has
made it almost impossible for any ma

there is little probability that the

Poultry can be raised successfully
on any well-drained soil. A light loan,
which win grow good grass, is well
adapted for this purpose; while very
light, sandy soil, through which the
water teaches freely, win stand more
intensive poultry conditions, but most
OF the green feed for the fowls kept
on such soil win have to be pur-
chased. A heavy clay or adobe soil.
is not as well adapted to poultry
raising. as such land does not drain
readily and II is much more difficult
to keep the stock healthy. says Farm.
