 London, July 31.-In the desperate situation there are only two factors tonight giving the faintest hope of averting a general European war:
 First-Russia and Austria are en- : gagged again in direct negotiations; are using their utmost endeavors in favor of peace.
 {. On the other hand, Russia has or dered a general mob ilization and Ger many has declared a state of siege, which is undoubtedly a prelude to, if it does not cover n4obilization4
 France Not Mobiiized. France has not yet mobilized, but. cabinet councils which sat until late at night, issued .decrees establishing a moratorium, and taking other action which could only be determined upon on the eve of war. Unofficially the French army is being virtually mo- biliZed.
 Germany's Rumored Demand.
 A very circumstantial. though as yet unconfirmed report published in Rome, says that Germany is about to demand from both Russia and France the immediate cessation of mobiliza- ton. Yet another ruTnor has it that the German ambassador has notified the French government of his early departure.
 Smaller States on Guard.
 Great Britain is practically, though not officially. mobilized, and the small CT European states, as a preeautfon have ordered the mobilization of their armies-Be!gium. Holland and Switz- erland, to protect their territory from being used as highway for the bel mark to guard themselves on general principles
 Italy makes no announcement, and, altllog | a rumor credits her with the decision not to participate in the struggle, there is little doubt that she is making ready by mobilization
 Censorship Everywhere.
 Communication across Europe has been cut off and there is "a universal application of the censorship, with the result that it is impossible to obtain any accurate Knowledge of what mfl- ttary operations are going on in Ser via All code telegrams are refused. becoming isolated from each other by railway and telegraph.
 Many American travellers have been feld up by the suspension of inter national trains
 The withGrawal of three famous gatta is significant. They include the emreror's Meteor and Krupp's Ger mania.

fic must cease in West Virginia. The
first day of July every saloon, brewery
and distillery in the Little Mountain
State must be permanently closed I'M
der Statewide Prohibition adopted at
the November election in 1912 by
nearly 100000 majority.
The law enacted to carry into effect
the Prohibition amendment is per-
haps the most stringent statute of the
kind in America. Experts declare
there is not loop-hole in it. Every
examine it they throw up their hands,
for they can find no way to escape its
provisions.

toxicating liquors anywhere within the
State. 1t is also unlawful to ship in
toXicating liquors to violators of law.
1t is unlawful for druggists or club
houses to keep Intoxicating liquors.
The druggists of the State, at their
annual meeting, asked the Legislature
to insert this prohibitive provision in
the statute. 1t is also unlawful to adj
vertise liquors by bill boards, circul-
ars, newspapers or otherwise.
Any violation of this law is punish
able by fine and imprisonment in the
county Jail for the first offense and by
fine and Imprisonment in the State
penitentiary for the second offense.
Prosecuting attorneys are allowed all
necessary funds and officers to assist
in the detection and punishment of
offenders. The law moreover pro-
vides for a state superintendent of
Prohibition, who shall have general
supervision of the State and who shall
have power to see that the Prohibition
law is enforced.
All producers and dealers are get
ting ready to quit business by July /.
The brewers have ceased making beer
and are bottling or placing in larger
receptacles their product. In several
instances breweries are being trans
formed into other kinds OF manufac-
tories. Saloonkeepers have been drop
ping out of the traffic and going into
other lines Of activity.
